It was because of this that the Su family and the Shen family did not have much contact.
Su Ming Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable being probed by Shen Miao's gaze and lightly coughed, "Shen Young Lady, one do not know the reason for coming to the residence?"
"My Father, Mother and Eldest Brother were summoned to the Palace by His Majesty. Does Young Master Su know why?" Shen Miao asked.
Su Ming Feng was somewhat inexplicable. The matter of the Shen family had spread throughout the entire Ding capital early in the morning and all the officials felt insecure. After all as an official in court, once there was a little bit of trouble, it would be a huge matter. But what did the Shen family's mishap have to do with his Su family?
"I do not know." Su Ming Feng answered. He really did not know what was the reason why Shen Xin was summoned to the Palace. Everyone guessed that it was Emperor Wen Hui who wanted to punish the Shen family but no one knew what the charges were.
"When my Father was in the Northwest region destroying the Xi Rong, His Majesty ordered a massacre but my Father did not comply." Shen Miao said, "So one think that His Majesty will punish my Father for deceiving the Monarch and disobeying military orders."
Su Ming Feng jumped in shock. It was not because of the charges that Shen Miao said but because Shen Miao told him about it so easily. This matter could be considered as a handle in anyone's hands and it was too late to cover it up but Shen Miao actually told him so bluntly. Even though Su Ming Feng was intelligent since young, he did not know how to continue and could only laugh dryly twice before saying perfunctorily, "Ah, then what can be done."
"So I want to ask Heir Su for help." Shen Miao said.
Su Ming Feng was once again stunned. He thought about it and could not think of what kind of friendship did he have with Shen Miao or what kind of friendship did the Shen and Su family had that was worth the Su family lending a helping hand. In a situation where he could not figure it out, Su Ming Feng secretly glanced at the folding screen.
"Shen Young Lady is joking." He quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Miao before smiling politely, "It is just that what help can this one offer? Most likely Shen Young Lady has overestimated this one … Moreover, forgive this one for speaking rudely. This matter is complicated and if one were to randomly help, one fear that one would invite trouble to oneself. I … One really cannot find a reason to bear the danger and be a good person. "
Su Ming Feng's words were said in a polite manner but mercilessly rejected Shen Miao's request. Su Ming Feng also saw it clearly that the Shen Miao in front of him had a straightforward temperament. He simply abandoned his usual roundabout ways and straightforwardly stated, "No."
Hearing this, Shen Miao gently smiled. When she smiled, her pair of eyes were very clear, and there seemed to be some naivety. However, in the blink of an eye, her smile turned cold. She said, "Prince Su, although you are not an official, your father seems to be in charge of the military horses."
Su Ming Feng slightly frowned and said, "Correct."
"Did your father tell Heir that there seems to be a problem with the military horses?" Shen Miao said.
This time Su Ming Feng's brows wrinkled even tighter as he stared at Shen Miao, "What does Shen Young Lady mean by this?"
Shen Miao smiled gently, "I heard that there are some small problems with the military horses recently, and a few of the military horses are sick. Medicine is ineffective?"
Su Ming Feng tightened his grip on the teacup.
Shen Miao's words were not false. These days Su Yu was extremely busy with this matter and other than a few subordinates in the military horses and Su Yu who secretly told him about it, no one else knew about it. But it was impossible for the people in the military horses to tell Shen Miao. If it were to spread, Emperor Wen Hui would punish them and everyone would not be able to bear the consequences and it would be even worse.
But how did Shen Miao know about it?
Su Ming Feng heard his own dry voice, "Shen Young Lady … Where did you hear these false words from?"
