Shen Xin's household started to pack their luggage overnight and the most amazing thing was that before they left, they forced Old Shen Furen to separate from the family in front of the Shen family.
That day when Shen Xin and wife were summoned to the Palace, Shen Miao's dispute with Old Shen Furen at the residence's doors eventually fell into Shen Xin's ears and naturally Shen Xin was unable to restrain his anger. The timing to throw stones at a person when they were down was too good that he did not even bother to maintain his face. Luo Xue Yan was even angrier at herself for being blind and treating this family of hoodlums with sincerity.
Even though Shen Xin's military power was taken away, he was still a courageous person. When he was really stubborn, even nine bulls would not be able to pull him back. The clan head would not be able to rush over but the clansmen would still be there. Before Old General Shen left, he hoped that this family would live in harmony but at the end it still fell apart.
Old Shen Furen brought out the skills that she had when she was a songstress in the marketplace and occupied more than half of Old General Shen's residence and fields. Shen Miao did not stop this at all. After so many years, because it was not managed well, those shops and fields were not as pleasing as before and it would be a burden to keep them by one's side. Moreover they were about to go to the Xiao Chun City and these things were useless.
Shen Xin was not lacking in money as the Emperor had bestowed a lot of rewards every year. Old Shen Furen originally thought that in the public accounts books, the whereabouts of Shen Xin's money had already been cleared clean but did not know that at the last moment, Shen Miao actually found another account book from who knows where. It clearly stated the money that Shen Xin had handed over to the government all these years as well as the money that Shen Xin had supplemented himself.
In front of the clansmen, these could not be denied and no matter what, Old Shen Furen had to spit out some. Shen Miao's thoughts were simple, no matter how much she could get back, even if Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not even bother to look at these worldly possessions, it was good to disgust Old Shen Furen.
Old Shen Furen was really 'disgusted' to the point of falling sick and Chen Rou Qiu was very angry in her heart. Now that Ren Wan Yun did not care about the matter and she was the one managing the household, there was not enough money and Shen Xin even took back a portion of it. In the future if things were not going well, one fear that Old Shen Furen would take it out on her.
Shen Yue was also angered. These days she could only watch helplessly as Chen Rou Qiu was overwrought over the matter of money. Shen Yue's' high and proud 'character that was previously raised had also changed. Originally she did not put money in her eyes but now she felt that she wanted to fight for it. It was not good to say anything in front of the clansmen so he looked at Shen Miao and pretended to be worried, "One do not know when Fifth Younger Sister will return from this trip. One heard that the Xiao Chun City is lacking in supplies and it would be bad if the food is not good in the future. It is better to bring more money over."
These words were faintly discernible ridicule of Shen Miao going to a bitter and cold place. Luo Xue Yan was about to get angry but she saw Shen Miao lightly smiling, "Correct but the prices in the Ding capital are very high. In the future without His Majesty's bestowment, Second Older Sister must not spend as extravagantly as before." Her eyes landed on Shen Yue's wrist and smiled, "After all, in the future, Father will not give you a bracelet."
Shen Yue was surprised for a moment and looked at the bracelet on her wrist before her face flushed red. That bracelet was none other than one of the bestowments that Shen Xin received. Originally Shen Xin's bestowments were confiscated and Shen Yue would pick some good looking jewellery from it. Who knew that when she said those words, Shen Miao would directly say that the bracelet that she was wearing was Shen Xin's. Was this not slapping her face in public?
But this bracelet was extremely precious and Shen Yue was not willing to take it off and return it to her.
Shen Miao seemed to see her thoughts and smiled gently, "Older Sister must not return this bracelet. There is no logic in taking back something that is given out. One do not know if there will be such a good bracelet in the future."
