With such a big matter happening in the Ding capital, the entire city was talking about the tragedy of Prince Yu's family being exterminated. The rumours were like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. There were all kinds of guesses, and some even suspected that the one who exterminated the entire Prince Yu residence was the lover of the newly married Prince Yu's Consort, who flew into a rage for a beauty and let the entire Prince Yu residence be buried with her. Such a rumour was much more alluring, as if there was suddenly a trace of charming colour in the cruel truth.
Such rumors could be found everywhere, and the person who heard them probably didn't think much of it. However, in the vast river of rumors, there was one that was extremely shocking.
The meaning of this rumour was that the extermination of the entire Prince Yu residence in one night was actually the intention of the Shen family. As for why the General residence would do that, the water was too deep, and one would have to see the officials themselves to think about it.
If one were to say that the previous rumours only brought ridicule and ridicule to Shen Qing and her family, then this conjecture with the colour of conspiracy had really pushed the Shen residence to the front of everyone.
Prince Yu residence of the First Rank was exterminated and not even a beast was left in the residence, but a bride that just married into the family was left behind. What capabilities did this bride have to make the other party spare her life, unless she had some relation with her. If it was the Shen family, then all of this naturally made sense. But why did the Shen family have to go against the Prince Yu residence? On the surface, perhaps it was because they were dissatisfied with the marriage, but if one were to probe deeper, now that there was a turbulent undercurrent in the court, who knew if the Shen family had been incited by others, or if it was to express something. These things were not seen by the common people, but the old foxes in the officialdom would not let it go. In a short period of time, the Shen family was placed in the teeth of the storm.
Early in the morning, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang came over to invite Shen Miao to eat snacks. The Shen residence did not have the mood to take care of other matters, and even the three meals in the small kitchen were sloppy. Other than Rong Jing Tang's side, most of the matters were dealt with by themselves, so Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang simply went out to buy snacks and let Shen Miao eat some sweet soup to warm her body.
After eating breakfast, Shen Miao also finished grooming and looked at her appearance before slightly frowning. She then said to Gu Yu, "Go and bring the fox skin scarf that Eldest Brother sent over."
"Hey, the girl remembered to wear that scarf." Gu Yu dug out the scarf from the box and wanted to help Shen Miao put it on but was stopped by Shen Miao, "I will do it myself."
That scarf was made from a fox skin that was snow white and there was not a single strand of mixed fur. It was also hunted by Shen Qiu in the Northwest Mountain Forest and at the beginning he saw that the fur was precious so he got the tailor to make an exquisite scarf for Shen Miao. It was just that Shen Miao did not like to wear it and was placed under the box. She did not know what happened today but she suddenly thought of it which made Gu Yu somewhat happy. After all, it was such a good looking leather but it was placed at the bottom of the box all day and did not see the light of day. It was a pity.
Shen Miao wrapped the scarf around her neck and when Gu Yu saw it, she exclaimed in admiration, "Young Lady looks really good with this scarf around your neck, it makes you look even fairer. It also looks warm. It's so nice. "
Shen Miao's eyes hung down and her fingers gently brushed the soft fur, but she thought of the bruise on her neck in the mirror. That was the mark left by Xie Jing Xing when he choked her throat yesterday. At that time this person was not lenient and she did not notice it yesterday but today it was exceptionally obvious. Even though the collars of the clothes worn in the cold winter were high, but if one was not careful and was seen by others, one fear that Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan would not take it lying down. It was better to have less trouble than more trouble and it was better to wrap it tighter.
Putting down the bronze mirror in her hands, Shen Miao opened the door and walked out. Coincidentally she saw Shen Qiu standing under the tree in the courtyard and giving instructions to the soldier beside him. Shen Qiu's guards were all from the army and were different from the ordinary guards as they had a kind of brave and iron-blooded bearing. Seeing Shen Miao, Shen Qiu spoke to the soldier before turning around and smiled, "Younger Sister."
