"What nonsense are you talking about." Gu Yu said in annoyance, "At that time the streets will definitely be very crowded. What if something happens to Young Lady?"
"But didn't we all go in the past?" Bai Lu was unconvinced.
"Previous years are previous years, this year is this year!" Guyu said fiercely. What Bai Lu said was not wrong. In previous years at this time, Shen Xin and wife would have already returned to the Ding capital and the entire Shen residence would go out to watch the bustle during the Jade Rabbit Festival, but this year the Shen residence and Prince Yu residence had such a big matter and the murderer behind it had not been found. If there was someone waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, Shen Miao's situation would indeed be much more dangerous. No matter how big the liveliness, it was not as important as Shen Miao's safety.
"It's fine." Shen Miao smiled gently, "I also wanted to go and take a look at the bustle. With Father, Mother and Eldest Brother around, there would not be any danger."
"But …" Gu Yu still wanted to persuade.
"That's all." Shen Miao interrupted her words and walked back into the room. Gu Yu could only suppress the worry in her heart. One did not know from when Shen Miao had developed a character of one's own words, and there was no longer the appearance of her seeking help from those two from the Second and Third household. It was indeed good to have one's own thoughts but when she was stubborn, it made one feel helpless.
Shen Miao returned to the room and walked to her table to sit down. Her gaze fell on the plum tree branches outside. The branches were dotted with red, but it reminded her of the letter that she had received previously.
The Chen brothers had already returned to Jiangnan and after Prince Yu residence was exterminated, they no longer had any contact. Shen Miao was extremely cautious and all the communication with the Chen family was done through Mo Qing's letter to the Feng Xian Pawnshop. Now that Mo Qing's life contract was no longer with the Shen family, others would not suspect her.
This time, Mo Qing brought back another piece of news. That Young Lady Liu Ying that Ji Yu Shu had previously inquired about finally had her whereabouts. She was in the biggest money squandering establishment in the Ding capital, Bao Xiang Lou. Young Lady Liu Ying was one of the top beauties in Bao Xiang Lou, and one heard that on the day of the Jade Rabbit Festival, she would also act as the Jade Rabbit Fairy and dance by the Wan Li Lake. She really wanted to take a look, so she could take advantage of this opportunity.
As for the matter of revenge that Gu Yu was worried about, it was not even worth mentioning to Shen Miao. The Chen brothers were cooperating with her in the first place, so there was no need to talk about revenge. As for the Shen residence, Old Shen Furen was so angry that other than her two sons and the Second household's grandson, she did not see anyone else. The Second household of the Shen family was considered to have collapsed and Shen Yuan was busy fawning on the officials and would not make a move on her in the near future. The third branch had always concealed their strength and bided their time. At this critical juncture, they would not cause any trouble.
Now that he thought about it, there wasn't a year that was more comfortable than this year.
Thinking like this, Shen Miao's lips slightly curled up and Gu Yu who was looking at her from outside could not help but be startled. Before she could recover to her senses, she heard Jing Zhe's voice. Jing Zhe walked in from outside and said, "Young Lady, Wan YiNiang of the Eastern courtyard wants to see you."
Wan clan? Gu Yu frowned and whispered, "Why is it her again?"
"Why does this Wan YiNiang keep running over to our courtyard." Shuang Jiang and Bai Lu also whispered, "This is too eager to curry favor."
The few maids were not very welcoming towards Madam Wan. In fact, ever since the matter with Ren Wan Yun and Shen Qing, they hated the people of the Second household. No matter what Wan YiNiang's motive was, she was after all a person of the Second household and it made one very uncomfortable to run over here all day.
A few days ago when Wan YiNiang wanted to see Shen Miao, Shen Miao used all kinds of means to push her away. But today she said, "Let her in."
Jing Zhe was surprised for a moment before replying and went out. It was Gu Yu and the rest who had a worried look on their faces, fearing that Wan YiNiang had some bad ideas.
