A proper homecoming banquet had ended in this sudden turn of events. Emperor Wen Hui's mood was disturbed and not long after, he flicked his sleeves and the Empress also said that she was tired. Since the Emperor and Empress had left, the officials naturally knew that they could not stay for long and one after another found excuses to leave. Even though today's matter seemed to have found a perfect ending with the Eldest Young Lady of the Shen family marrying into Prince Yu residence, but those with discerning eyes knew that it was a shocking scandal. As for that Eldest Young Lady of the Shen family, once she marries into Prince Yu residence, it would naturally bode ill rather than well.
Luo Xue Yan held Shen Miao's hands tightly. She did not know how Shen Qing and Prince Yu would have an affair but because of this she was more worried about Shen Miao's safety. She only felt that the danger in the Ding capital was no less than the Northwest Desert.
Shen Qiu did not say a word until he left. He had always been cheerful and it made Shen Xin think that he was feeling sad because of Shen Qing's matter. But he did not know that Shen Qiu's heart was already extremely angry and felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He hated the Shen family's Second household for being vicious and also hated Prince Yu's shamelessness.
Shen Qing had long been brought away by Ren Wan Yun in a hurry but Shen Gui's expression was very interesting and everyone looked at him with meaningful eyes. Some colleagues who did not get along with him in court even threw stones at him when he was down. They cupped their hands and smiled, "Congratulations to Shen Daren. To be able to become in-laws with His Highness Prince Yu is a great blessing."
If it was in the past when Shen Qing married Prince Yu, it would not be a big deal to Shen Gui. As long as it could help his career, his daughter's happiness was not important. But now, Shen Qing's performance had obviously brought trouble to Prince Yu. Would Prince Yu vent his anger on him? As he thought about it, Shen Gui's heart gave birth to some irritation and fear.
After the returning banquet dispersed, Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao walked out of the Palace and when they passed by a corridor, Shen Miao softly reminded her, "Be careful. There is a loose brick here."
Luo Xue Yan was a military general and her steps were big and heavy. If one step was taken, one might stumble. Luo Xue Yan took a careful look before smiling, "Almost fell." Then she was surprised and looked at Shen Miao, "How did Jiao Jiao know?"
Shen Miao choked. She had lived in the Palace for decades and had long remembered what it was like. When Luo Xue Yan asked, she could only reply, "One year I tripped here, and since then I've remembered it."
"I see." Luo Xue Yan laughed heartily, "Jiao Jiao is quite smart. She remembers the places where she fell, so she won't fall again."
Shen Miao's heart moved but she did not speak.
As the two of them walked, they saw two people who looked like guards dragging a young eunuch past. The young eunuch's mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief, and he seemed to be struggling with all his might. However, how could he struggle free from the tall and strong guards? Following behind them was the head eunuch, Eunuch Gao.
"Shen furen, Shen young miss." Eunuch Gao stopped and greeted them.
"Eunuch Gao, this is …" Luo Xue Yan looked at the little eunuch and asked.
"The newcomer doesn't know the rules and made a mistake. I'm taking him to be punished," Eunuch Gao said with a sharp voice.
When that young eunuch saw Shen Miao, his eyes landed on Jing Zhe who was behind Shen Miao and suddenly struggled like crazy, as if he wanted to rush to Jing Zhe's side.
"Be more honest!" Eunuch Gao kicked the young eunuch's knee and the latter gave a muffled grunt before kneeling down. Eunuch Gao snorted from his nose, "Thing that does not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. Almost offended a noble person."
Luo Xue Yan frowned. She did not like these inhumane punishments in the Palace, and this kind of scene would make her heart uncomfortable. She immediately said to Eunuch Gao, "Since that is the case, one will not disturb Eunuch Gao's work."
