On the day that Shen Xin left the Palace and returned to the residence, Shen Miao personally went to the city walls outside the Palace to receive him.
The rest of the Shen family were naturally dissatisfied with this ending, especially Old Shen Furen. She thought that Shen Xin would be unlucky this time and did not think that Shen Xin's life would be spared. But hearing that Shen Gui told her what it meant for the military power to be confiscated, Old Shen Furen became happy again.
Shen Xin who had his military power confiscated, at least in terms of influence in his career, he could no longer be compared to Shen Gui and Shen Wan. Old Shen Furen was short-sighted and did not think that the Shen family was now one. When one looked at the Shen family from the outside, naturally they would look at Shen Xin's reputation. With the loss of Shen Xin's reputation, how would the Shen family be as awe-inspiring as it was in the past.
But Old Shen Furen most likely did not care. In her heart, the Shen Gui and Shen Wan that she gave birth to were many times stronger than Shen Xin. If it was not for the Old General's favouritism, how would Shen Xin have today's results. Since Shen Gui was in dire straits, it was not bad to take this opportunity to expel Shen Xin's branch from the Shen family.
It was just that how this family would be divided was also a clever method.
In the Shen residence, Old Shen Furen had the idea of separating from the family but Shen Miao did not put it in her heart at all. Since things had reached such a stage, it was better to go according to what she had thought before. It was one thing for the Emperor to take back the military power but the Shen family without the military power was indeed nothing to fear. If they continued to stay here, the Shen family would have a lot of enemies and eventually Shen Xin's branch would be forced into a desperate situation.
Still need to … Retreat.
Without any reason, Shen Miao remembered Xie Jing Xing's warning to her that day. This' retreat 'word was indeed the only way out for the Shen family. He could see the key point with one glance.
The carriage stopped at the corner of the Palace walls so that it would not be seen by others. Adding insult to injury, those colleagues of Shen Xin who did not agree with him on politics and those who were watching the bustle would not necessarily be guarding the Palace doors. Shen Miao was clearer than anyone else what kind of conduct the Fu family had. They wanted to put on a broad-minded attitude but secretly planned to let the other party suffer losses. Shen Xin had an illustrious reputation and now that his tiger tally had been taken away from him, many people would be happy to see this desolate appearance.
Shen Miao had suffered a lot of losses in her previous life and in Ming Qi, she did not have any face left. She could endure the humiliation herself but could not endure her family being treated like this. They could only stop the carriage here and wait for Shen Xin to come out and take them away.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Mo Qing's low shout from outside, "Stop!" A gust of wind blew in and Shen Miao's eyes blurred as the curtain of the carriage was lifted and there was one more person in the spacious carriage.
Gu Yu cried out in fright and Jing Zhe covered her mouth. Mo Qing's somewhat flustered voice sounded, "Young Lady!"
Shen Miao looked at the person opposite her.
On top of the carriage, the young man was dressed in a dark red official robe. His peach blossom eyes were flirtatious, and his thin lips were slightly curled up. His originally serious and upright official robe looked beautiful and delicate in it, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
"Mo Qing withdraw." Shen Miao reprimanded in a low voice.
"But …" Mo Qing's voice tightened through the curtain of the carriage. That person's action was too fast and he could not stop it at all. It was absolutely impossible to let a stranger and Shen Miao in the same carriage.
"You cannot beat him." Shen Miao calmly said to the outside before looking at Jing Zhe and Gu Yu, "Both of you should also go out. Guard the side of the carriage. "
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had seen Xie Jing Xing before and knew that Xie Jing Xing and Shen Miao had some friendship but it was unclear to what extent the friendship had reached. To say it was intimate, both of them would occasionally oppose each other, but to say it was enemies, how would Shen Miao be so lenient to the enemy?
But with a few experiences, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu also expected that Xie Jing Xing would not harm Shen Miao. Shen Miao was so arrogant to let Xie Jing Xing stay in the carriage, so it should be to confirm this point. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu did not say anything and got off the carriage.
