Even though it was kept, that cloak really did not fit. It was too big for Shen Miao to wear so it was kept under the chest and was never taken out to wear. If it was not for Gu Yu digging it out from the chest today, Shen Miao almost forgot about it.
She looked at the cloak and thought of something. Previously when Xie Jing Xing flipped through her bedroom at night, he mentioned that he had met her at a farmer's house two years ago but she did not remember as she was drunk that day. Now thinking about it, this cloak should be left behind by Xie Jing Xing. She could not remember anything about that night's matter and only knew that Xie Jing Xing was talking nonsense and her face turned a little red.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu saw Shen Miao's somewhat uncomfortable look and looked at each other, not knowing what happened to Shen Miao. Jing Zhe reminded, "Young Lady?"
Shen Miao recovered to her senses and looked at the cloak in Gu Yu's hands before saying in a bad mood, "Find an opportunity to pawn it at the pawn shop."
"But Eldest Young Master said that the skin is very good and does not let Young Lady pawn it?" Gu Yu felt strange.
"No matter how good the skin is, one do not want it." Shen Miao said, "Send it to the Feng Xian Pawn Shop when you are done packing it. The Feng Xian Pawn Shop collects treasures all the time so Manager Ji would definitely 'like' this thing. "
Seeing Shen Miao's appearance, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe dared not say anything more and shrugged their shoulders before continuing to look for other cloaks for Shen Miao.
Finally he picked a lilac coloured brocade cloak with rabbit fur and after helping Shen Miao to freshen up, he found an excuse to go out. Luo Tan was easy to send away as Shen Xin and the rest would usually return in the evening from the Ministry of War and without the eyes and ears of the Shen family, there was much more freedom now.
Mo Qing once again acted as the carriage driver. Mo Qing was now Shen Qiu's people but he would always help Shen Miao to handle matters. Most of the time, Shen Miao would not let Mo Qing tell others about her matters. Mo Qing looked more like Shen Miao's confidant. But Mo Qing was already used to his identity and everytime Shen Miao went out to handle matters, Mo Qing was already used to it.
But today when Mo Qing knew the place that Shen Miao was going to, he was also shocked. It was actually the residence of the Crown Prince of the Qin country. Shen Miao's actions at the tribute banquet was spread throughout the Ding capital the next day and naturally Mo Qing knew about it. That Princess Ming An obviously came with ill intentions and Mo Qing was somewhat worried but Shen Miao had a well-thought-out look so Mo Qing did not say anything.
When they reached the residence of the Crown Prince of Qin, the guards outside saw the invitation in Shen Miao's hands and only let Shen Miao wait outside. They said that they would take the invitation to report to their master and would not return.
After a long time, Jing Zhe could not bear it any longer and said, "It has been almost an hour and these people still have not reported? It was clear that the Qin princess was deliberately making things difficult for the young lady. Even if there is a heater in the carriage, it will still be very cold outside. If Miss gets sick from the cold, what will the Princess say? "
Gu Yu also said, "This is really too much. Since one took the initiative to invite, then what is the meaning of leaving one outside the residence in the cold?"
Usually, when people came to send invitations, they would at least welcome them into the mansion to wait. Even if the relatives of the Imperial Family had many rules, they shouldn't leave people hanging for more than an hour. Moreover, in the past hour, no one had come forward to greet him.
Mo Qing said, "Young Lady, it is better to return."
Shen Miao shook her head, "Since one is already here, then one should wait. One must give enough face and not let the courtesy fall on the other's side. "
When she was in the Qin country, Princess Ming An liked to treat people like this. In the cold of the twelfth lunar month, she would use chatting as an excuse to let people wait in the icy cold garden early in the morning. One wait would be a few hours, and sometimes one would wait for an entire day without seeing anyone. Afterwards a maid would be sent over to say that there were some matters that one could not come. This meant that one had waited for a day in vain. Princess Ming An's methods were the same as always, superficial and shallow. In the past lifetime, one could endure it, so what was an hour in this lifetime?
In the residence of the Crown Prince of Qin, at this moment Princess Ming An was sitting in the room and the maid was adding silver charcoal to the brazier. Princess Ming An picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, but her expression was somewhat carefree.
She asked the servant outside, "Has that cheap person left?"
"Replying to Your Highness." The servant said, "Fifth Shen Young Lady's horse carriage is still at the residence's entrance and had not left."
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Princess Ming An's face, "To actually be this patient." She originally thought that by leaving Shen Miao out to dry, the proud and arrogant Young Lady of an official's family would return to the residence in a fit of anger. After that, she would be able to find a reason to say that Shen Miao was disrespectful to her.
But she did not expect that Shen Miao would be this calm. But … She smiled, "After waiting for so long, one think that one's patience is almost exhausted. It is not bad to change methods. Someone, pass down BenGong's orders to invite Shen Miao in."
