At this time, if Shen Miao continued to show fear, not only would she not be able to help, it would instead burden Luo Xue Yan and the rest. Thus Shen Miao smiled, "Really? Eldest Brother must keep to his words. "
Seeing Shen Miao like this, Shen Qiu then let out a sigh of relief. Shen Qiu knew that Shen Miao was intelligent but did not want Shen Miao to be involved with the matters of the court. Moreover in the court matters, it was never a person's worth as there would be deaths and injuries at every turn and countless people would be involved, so how would it be easy to explain.
Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin also comforted Shen Miao, "Jiao Jiao just stay in the residence and do not go anywhere. Wait for Father and Mother to return, then we will go together to make new clothes for Jiao Jiao for the beginning of spring."
Shen Miao also complied. She watched helplessly as the eunuch brought Shen Xin and entourage out of the residence.
Chen Rou Qiu pulled Shen Wan's hands and said worriedly, "Why would Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao suddenly enter the Palace? Did something happen?"
Shen Wan shook his head. Shen Gui said, "Eldest Brother is already in the limelight and does not know how to conduct himself in court. One fear that if something really happened, there would not be anyone to speak to." These words were somewhat meaningful. Shen Gui's meaning was that if something really happened to Shen Xin, the two brothers Shen Gui and Shen Wan would not send charcoal in the snow.
Shen Miao sneered in her heart. She only heard Shen Yue timidly saying, "If something happened to Eldest Bo, it should be a very big matter. Will it implicate us by bringing them all away?"
"How would it implicate Yue-er?" Shen Gui smiled, "If it implicates Yue-er, the first to bear the brunt should be Little Five."
Shen Gui's words were vicious. After the successive loss of his sons, Shen Gui's career was not smooth. He was originally jealous that Shen Xin's position was higher than his and his prestige was higher than his. Now that he saw Shen Xin's misfortune, naturally he was overjoyed and even hoped that Shen Xin's branch would be wiped out so that there would no longer be any obstacles in front of him.
A trace of schadenfreude flashed in Shen Yue's eyes as she looked sympathetically at Shen Miao, "Isn't Fifth Younger Sister very pitiful?"
Shen Miao did not get angry but smiled instead and said lightly, "The servants in the Palace do not know His Majesty's intention, so it seems that both Shushu have already understood His Majesty's intention." She looked at Shen Gui, "Since Second Uncle is able to predict things like a deity, when this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty, His Majesty will appreciate Second Uncle's ability to understand others. It's rare to see someone like Second Uncle who can understand others. His Majesty can even be compared to the previous dynasty's Official Wei."
As these words came out, Shen Wan and Shen Gui's expressions changed slightly. What was the greatest taboo for an emperor? It was for his officials to randomly guess the emperor's intentions. Shen Miao's words were not to say that Shen Gui was very clear about Emperor Wen Hui's thoughts, so what was he planning? She even used Official Wei from the previous dynasty to insinuate that Official Wei was the Emperor's trusted aide. Often, the Emperor only needed a glance to know what the Emperor wanted to do. When the Emperor's position was unstable, he had worked together with Official Wei to control many of the opposing ministers. But in the end, when the Emperor was in power, he had given Official Wei a death warrant.
No monarch would like an official who could clearly understand one's thoughts. If one understood too clearly, there would be no reverence and if there was no reverence, perhaps one day a knife would be placed on one's neck.
This was the Imperial family, the most suspicious. One sentence could decide a person's life and death.
Shen Miao's words made Shen Gui's and Shen Wan's expressions change but they dared not refute it. They were afraid that if these words were to be spread out and heard by Emperor Wen Hui, one did not know how much trouble it would bring to themselves. Both of them were secretly shocked as they did not know where did Shen Miao learned the ability to pin such a big hat onto others with just one sentence.
In the past, it was Mei Furen's usual tactic. At this moment Shen Miao was also forced by Shen Gui's unrestrained mouth and did not really want to fight with them here. The most urgent matter was to think of how to solve this matter.
Old Shen Furen had seen enough of the show and was not willing to let her son fall into a disadvantageous position, so she coldly snorted, "Will only bring trouble to the Shen family!" She was still thinking about the matter of Shen Xin wanting to separate from the family, but once this matter came out, the matter of the separation would be delayed. Old Shen Furen even thought that if something happened to Shen Xin, they would not be implicated and it would only be the First household that would be implicated. Would not the First household's assets all belong to her? Thinking of this, her eyes revealed a look of greed.
Shen Miao's heart was filled with disgust. This room of people had fully acted out what was called 'throwing stones at a person who was down'. The Shen family was definitely on the list of despicable people in the world.
Wan YiNiang pulled Shen Dong Ling's hand and hid at the back. She dared not say anything in this kind of situation. Even though Ren Wan Yun was awake, she did not leave Cai Yun Yuan and did not appear today. Shen Dong Ling said softly, "But what would happen to Eldest Bo? Eldest Bo is not in the Ding capital all year round. Could it be that there would be other rewards because of the previous victory?" Shen Dong Ling's words were most likely to ease the atmosphere. Shen Yue was somewhat displeased with her words and Old Shen Furen also revealed an unhappy expression but only Shen Miao was slightly surprised.
Not in the Ding capital all year round?
Yes, Shen Xin and wife and Shen Qiu had been fighting all year round in the bitter cold Northwestern region and had just returned to the Ding capital. It was impossible to use the excuse of being in the Ding capital as an excuse. And yesterday Consort Xu Xian and Consort Dong Shu were asking about the days in the Xiao Chun City. What was the use of asking about the days in the Xiao Chun City for? Shen Miao did not believe that the delicate females in the Palace would be interested in the remote Northwestern region.
There must be a connection. Not in the Ding capital, what kind of crime would it be?
