Chapter 130: My Jiao Jiao (Part 2)

At the other end, Chang Zai Qing returned to the Western courtyard. The Western courtyard in which Shen Xin’s entire family stayed at, was now almost empty. Previously there were a number of servants in the Western courtyard, and because Shen Xin called his personal guards over for training, everyday it would be bustling with noise and excitement. Later Shen Xin’s family moved out and Chen Rou Qiu reduced the number of servants in the Western courtyard. Without the soldiers practicing daily, the gigantic Western courtyard became deserted.

When Chang Zai Qing’s nanny, Zhao MaMa, saw Chang Zai Qing returning, she quickly went up to take off Chang Zai Qing’s cloak and said worriedly, “Young Lady, how was the conversation with Third Shen Furen today?”

Chapter 130: My Jiao Jiao (Part 1)

After the tribute banquet, the Ding capital was as lively as usual. In order to welcome the noble people of the Great Liang and the Qin country, the streets were much more bustling than before. No matter when it was, the Ming Qi’s Imperial family wanted to have a prosperous appearance in front of the other countries.

In the Shen residence, the servants in Qiu Shui Yuan started to discuss about a new topic.

Chapter 129: Prince Rui’s Neighbour (Part 2)

After Shen Miao returned to the residence from the Feng Xian Pawnshop, it was still very early so she locked herself in the room and no one knew what she was thinking about. When the skies were nearing the evening, Luo Tan returned. She had bought some jewellery and magnanimously gave some to Shen Miao, “Biao Youngest Sister, today we went shopping in a jewellery shop and the jewellery shops in the Ding capital are very big. Young Lady Feng and me selected some for you, unsure if you would like them or not. Take them first and when you want to go out, we can go there to shop again.”

It was an appearance that one had not fully expressed oneself.

Chapter 129: Prince Rui’s Neighbour (Part 1)

Shen Xin and wife returned to the capital with great fanfare, and Shen Miao even stole the limelight in the Ming Qi’s tribute banquet in front of the entire court of civil and military officials, and at the same time when discussion were made in succession, the attention was turned to the original Formidable General residence.

Since the Formidable General is no longer there, the previously General residence had taken off the plaque and changed it to Shen residence. Initially when Shen Xin was demoted and left the capital, the Shen family not only did not send charcoal during the snowy weather, they actually brought out the separation from the family and wanted to draw a clear line between them and Shen Xin. Now that Shen Xin was once again highly regarded by Emperor Wen Hui, no matter what intention the Emperor had, others took joy and delight at the calamity that the Shen family had and as for the Shen family themselves, they could only swallow the bitter fruit down.

Chapter 128: Guess It Out (Part 2)

Ji Yu Shu smiled and his eyes showed an unspeakable pride, “Young Lady Shen must not underestimate the Feng Xian Pawnshop. Although this one was not in the Ding capital for these two years and the Feng Xian Pawnshop was also closed, but business still needed to be done. Else how would one have money to support one’s family? The Xiao Bai Sheng is still working. After all one cannot just throw away two years of harvest. Yong Lady Shen do speak, what information you want to inquire? I, the manager of the Feng Xian Pawnshop will naturally serve Young Lady all the way.”

Shen Miao chuckled, “Since Manager Ji spoke as such, then I am rest assured. Today one come here to make three business dealings, and they are all purchasing of information. The first one… Does Manager Ji know the news about the death in battle of the Little Marquis Xie of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An?”

Chapter 128: Guess It Out (Part 1)

On the second day, Shen Miao got up late.

Xie Jing Xing came yesterday at the third of the five night watch periods (modern timing: 11pm – 1am), and she was so exhausted after talking with him, so she had a night of dreamless sleep and when she woke up, it was already very late.

Chapter 127: Meeting With An Old Acquaintance (Part 2)

“Thinking of what?” Xie Jing Xing asked.

“Thinking that you are so beautiful that even the leading actor of the theatre would not be able to compete. It is no wonder that a mask is required to cover it up.” Shen Miao deliberately made him angry.

Chapter 127: Meeting With An Old Acquaintance (Part 1)

On the road back, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not say anything. Even though on the surface they worked hard to show a very relaxing appearance, at the end some solemness revealed itself. Shen Qiu was also uncharacteristic and even though Luo Tan had a carefree personality, she also was sensitive to perceive that there was something wrong with the situation, and was cautious not to speak.

After all one had offended Princess Ming An, which mean also offending the Crown Prince of the Qin country. The Shen family just returned and had been pushed to where the wind and waves were the fiercest. It was just like there was an invisible hand behind them, that always pushed the Shen family out. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan was not afraid if there were difficult things in the future, but today it was Shen Miao that came forwards, so they feared that Princess Ming An will hate Shen Miao, and would use underhanded methods to hinder her.
