Shen Xin and wife finally returned to the residence in the evening. Accompanying them back to the mansion was a carriage full of rewards from the palace. If it was in the past, these rewards would definitely have been confiscated. But today, Luo Xue Yan had the servants carry the chests directly into the west courtyard.
The rewards from the Palace were either rich or expensive. The servants in the Eastern courtyard could only watch as the boxes passed by their courtyard and from time to time, there were sounds of things breaking in Rong Jing Tang. It was obvious that Old Shen Furen who had taken advantage of the situation was furious and was throwing a tantrum for others to see.
But those who came out from the military would not be affected by such a tantrum. The boxes were still being moved and were extremely efficient as they were quickly moved.
Shen Miao was sitting at the table reading. She was reading about Ming Qi's politics and laws. Previously when Gu Yu and the rest found her poems and songs, she just threw them to one side and did not even take a look.
She only heard a hearty laughter coming from outside the door, "Jiao Jiao!"
Shen Miao turned her head and saw Shen Xin striding in from the door with Luo Xue Yan following behind. Most likely they had just returned to the residence and rushed over as they did not even change their clothes. Shen Qiu walked at the back and made a face at her.
Shen Miao stood up and bowed to them, "Father, Mother, Eldest Brother."
Her gentle appearance made Shen Xin and wife startled for a moment. Shen Miao was not close to them and in the past when she came back, she would leave after saying a few words and was extremely impatient. This kind of amiable appearance had not been seen for a long time. However in that gentleness, there seemed to be a trace of alienation. This kind of alienation was very slight but as parents, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were still sensitive to it.
Shen Miao sighed slightly in her heart. She was unable to act like a real fourteen year old girl and act coquettishly with Shen Xin, and it was even more impossible to pretend that nothing had happened. In the previous life, she was the one who dragged down the Shen family and when facing Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan, there was only a strong sense of guilt in her heart.
Luo Xue Yan's heart only paused for a moment and her concern for her daughter quickly overshadowed that bit of doubt. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Shen Miao's hand and asked anxiously, "How is Jiao Jiao's body? Do you feel that anything is wrong? "
"I'm fine." Shen Miao replied with a smile.
"Jiao Jiao, Father obtained several large chests of treasures from the palace today. When your body is better, tomorrow morning you can go and pick what you like. Those jewellery and hairpins, one heard that they are the first in the Ding capital. " Shen Xin's words were somewhat flattering. Such a big and burly man carefully trying to please his daughter made one feel that it was somewhat comical.
Shen Miao smiled faintly, "Thank you Father, but this is not urgent. Just lock those treasures in the storeroom of our courtyard. After a long time, when I think of the day that I am interested, I will go pick them out."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people in the room changed.
In the past at this time, when Shen Xin carried the chests back, naturally he would let Shen Miao choose first and the rest would be sent to the public. He had always doted on his daughter like this and no one refuted his words because these rewards were obtained by Shen Xin with real swords and spears. But if it was in the past, Shen Miao would definitely not pick first and would let Shen Yue and Shen Qing finish picking first. After the Second and Third household picked, she would then start to pick. Naturally it was because she was close to the Second and Third household that she would do so.
But today, not only did Shen Miao not decline, she even suggested to lock the chests in the storeroom of her own courtyard. Even though Shen Xin did not intend to confiscate the rewards this time, but the change in Shen Miao's attitude towards the rest of the Shen family was clearly seen by everyone.
