783 All Yours (2)

Shen Dongling nodded, but she smiled bitterly. For some reason, she felt that Shen Miao didn’t just go back. Shen Miao probably had no intention of coming to Yi Feng Pavilion from the beginning.

Shen Miao… this opponent was even more terrifying than she thought.

…

On the other side, on the street, Luo Tan sat in the carriage and wiped the sweat off her forehead. “What should we do? We’ve been delayed for so long. I’m afraid it’ll be too late by the time we arrive at Yi Feng Pavilion.”

Just now, when the Shen family’s carriage was traveling in a lively place in the market, it accidentally bumped into an old woman. The old woman immediately fainted. The Shen family was not a small family in the capital, and Shen Xin was a hero respected by everyone. Shen Miao and Luo Tan could not just leave the old woman on the street. They got a guard to send the old woman to the nearest medical hall and watched as the doctor took the old woman’s pulse. When the old woman woke up, they left.

Their actions naturally won the approval of many commoners. They felt that the girls from the General’s Mansion were not arrogant. Instead, they were considerate of the commoners.

It was true that they had earned a lot of praise, but they had also wasted a lot of time. If they rushed to Yi Feng Pavilion now, it would probably be noon when they arrived.

Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, “We’re not going.”

“Eh?” Luo Tan was still thinking about how to solve this problem. When she heard Shen Miao say that, she couldn’t help but say in surprise, “Why aren’t you going? Don’t you hate people who go back on their words the most?”

Shen Miao smiled and said, “The best time to enjoy the incense is in the morning while the air is the freshest. At that time, the smell will be pleasant. At noon or in the afternoon, the air is not clean, and the smell of the incense will be compromised greatly. We can’t make people wait for us. That is not appropriate.” She reached out to call Mo Qing and asked him to send a message to Yi Feng Pavilion, saying that because she and Luo Tan were busy, they couldn’t go.

Although Luo Tan was a little disappointed, she didn’t mind too much because she was not interested in the incense anyway. It was rare for her to come out, so she immediately pulled Shen Miao to shop.

Seeing that it was still early and with Ah Zhi and the other guards by her side, Shen Miao agreed.

Unexpectedly, Luo Tan was in high spirits. After shopping, it was almost evening when they returned to the Shen family.

As soon as their carriage arrived at the entrance of the mansion, the servant at the door smiled and said, “Miss, good to see you back. Madam and Master have just returned.”

“Just in time for dinner!” Luo Tan smiled and held Shen Miao’s hand, stepping into the door.

When they entered the main hall, Luo Xueyan was talking to Shen Xin. When she saw Shen Miao and Luo Tan return, she was stunned for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief and saying, “Jiaojiao, Tan, where did you go?”

“Today, Young Madam Wang from the Wang family invited us to Yi Feng Pavilion to enjoy incense. On the way, the carriage hit an old woman. Cousin and I were busy taking care of that woman, so we didn’t go. Instead, Cousin and I shopped around. Father, Mother, did something happen?”

Shen Miao called Shen Dongling “Young Madam Wang”. Clearly, she wanted to draw a line and did not want to have anything to do with Shen Dongling at all.

Luo Xueyan did not notice this. She only took a deep breath and said, “You scared me to death. Huangfu Hao was assassinated in Yi Feng Pavilion today. Everyone involved was arrested and brought to the prison for interrogation. Wang Bi said that you were also present, but no one saw you. Your father and I rushed back. When we saw that you were not around, we thought you were also brought to prison.”
