"This Young Lady …" Mo Qing was slightly startled and frowned as he looked at the young female in front of him.
He knew that some rich families did not treat human lives as human lives and buying a servant was like buying a livestock. At this moment this young female's meaning was most likely to see him as one of those servants and naturally there was a kind of displeasure in his heart. But when he looked at the other's eyes, the displeasure was like a fog that instantly dissipated.
The gaze that the other person looked at him with was not one of arrogance and disdain but had a touch of gratification and respect. This made his heart unknowingly become suspicious and he subconsciously blurted out, "Has Young Lady and this one met before?"
Shen Miao gently sighed, "Never."
"Then why …"
"Your distinguished self's brows are upright and have an extraordinary bearing. You must be a person with great opportunities. But now that you have sold off the sword that accompanied you for so many years, it is obvious that you are at the end of your road. You are in dire need of money but even if you are given money today, it would not solve future troubles. I am the Di daughter of the Formidable Great General. When my Father returns to the capital at the end of the year, I can introduce you to him. It is a pity that your distinguished self's good martial arts skills would be buried in vain. "
"General Shen?" Mo Qing was suddenly surprised. He did not think that the young female in front of him was Shen Xin's daughter. Shen Xin's prestige was known by everyone in Ming Qi. He was a stabilizing stone on the battlefield and a man should make contributions. If one was to follow such a general … Mo Qing seemed to feel that the blood in his body had instantly become boiling hot.
It was just that … In the rumours in the Ding capital, Shen Miao was an out-and-out idiot. Even though it seemed to have been redeemed at the Chrysanthemum banquet a few days ago, there were not many who personally saw it. At this moment it seemed that the rumours were not necessarily true.
"If Young Lady is really willing to introduce this one, this one will naturally not decline. If there is an opportunity in the future, one will definitely repay." Mo Qing was also a frank and straightforward person and with this opportunity, he did not shirk.
Seeing this scene, Shen Miao gently smiled and took out an ingot of silver from her sleeves and threw it to Mo Qing. She said, "I do not need you to repay and just treat it as you selling all your martial arts skills to me. Father will only return at the end of the year and these days, you need to follow me back to the Shen residence. I will pretend to let you be a guard of the Shen residence but you have to secretly protect me. "
When her words fell into Mo Qing's ears, there was naturally some surprise. Mo Qing had also heard that the large clans were flowery on the surface, but in private there were many dirty tricks. Seeing that Shen Miao had mentioned her own safety, one knew that the young female in front of him was not as comfortable as she looked in the Shen residence. Mo Qing was somewhat surprised in his heart. Since Shen Miao was Shen Xin's daughter, why was her situation so difficult? However, his temperament was calm, so he didn't ask. He only said, "I'll listen to Miss's instructions."
"Take this silver and go to the emergency room first." Shen Miao said, "After settling your matters, you must come to the Shen residence within three days. I will naturally arrange your whereabouts."
Mo Qing cupped his fists again. The atmosphere of the Jianghu on him was quite heavy and after he left, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe both frowned. Jing Zhe said, "Young Lady, this person is unclear and if he harbors evil intentions, one fear that after entering the residence …"
Shen Miao walked towards the carriage, "What is there to be afraid of? This kind of person is much cleaner than the people in the courtyard."
At the moment, the West Courtyard was filled with the spies of the Second and Third Branch, their own people were pitifully few. Moreover this Mo Qing was naturally not a stranger.
Shen Miao sat in the carriage and sighed in her heart. After rebirth, she did not expect to meet Mo Qing here.
This Mo Qing was the commander of the Imperial guards in his previous life and was recommended by Shen Xin as his martial arts skills were outstanding. When Shen Miao went to the Qin country as a hostage for a few years, Mo Qing protected her as a guard. If it was not for Mo Qing's help, it would be difficult for her to return from the dangerous Qin country in one piece.
Mo Qing was loyal to Shen Xin and naturally was loyal to Shen Miao. Unfortunately after Shen Miao returned to Ming Qi, because of the fight between Mei Furen and Shen Miao, Mei Furen schemed against Mo Qing and gave him the crime of being frivolous with the females in the Palace. Fu Xiu Yi had long wanted to get rid of Shen Xin's people and Shen Miao tried every possible way to stop him but it was to no avail. She could only watch Mo Qing die under the baseless charges.
Now seeing Mo Qing again, she did not know that Mo Qing was in such a difficult situation. But it was because of Mo Qing's difficult situation that he was easily subdued. Shen Miao understood Mo Qing's character and he was the most loyal and upright person. For the trip to Wo Long Temple three days later, she originally wanted to use other methods but with Mo Qing, it was much more convenient.
Upon returning to the Shen residence, because Shen Yue and Shen Qing went to the Yi residence as guests, there was only Shen Miao in the residence. Just reaching the Western courtyard, Gui Momo came forward and said with a flattering smile, "Young Lady has returned. This old servant let the kitchen make some sugar soup. Does Young Lady want to have some?"
"Alright." Shen Miao said.
Seeing that Shen Miao, who had treated her coldly these days, suddenly had a pleasant countenance, Gui Momo's heart was delighted and quickly said, "This old servant will bring it over."
When Gui Momo brought the sugar soup over, Shen Miao had already rested in the room for a while. Gui Momo carefully placed the sugar soup on the table and said with a smile, "Young Lady, the things needed for the trip to Wo Long Temple three days later are all prepared. Is there anything else that you need?"
Old Shen Furen had previously arranged to go to Wo Long Temple three days later to offer incense and pray for the peace of the Shen family residence. Ren Wan Yun would bring three young ladies along and the rest of the people need not follow. Gui Momo had been busy with this matter these few days.
Shen Miao swept a glance at her and said in a neither light nor heavy tone, "Momo is really enthusiastic about this matter."
Gui Momo was sluggish for a moment before smiling, "It is rare for Young Lady to go out of the courtyard so naturally one must be well prepared."
"With Momo following, naturally it is well prepared." Shen Miao suddenly smiled. When that smile fell into Gui Momo's eyes, it made her heart somewhat uneasy.
"Second Furen's arrangements are proper so naturally there would not be any mistakes." Gui Momo said.
"Then one will trouble Gui Momo to thank Second Shen on my behalf." Shen Miao nodded her head, "You may withdraw."
Hearing that, Gui Momo then heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said a few words before retreating. One did not know why but the current Shen Miao had become very strange. It was as if there was an invisible pressure when she was with her, causing her arrogance to extinguish by a few points. But when she was out of the door, she straightened her back and swept a disdainful glance around the room before whispering in a voice that only she could hear, "After three days, see if you still dare to be insolent in front of this old one!"
In the room, Shen Miao held the bowl of sugar soup in her hands and walked to the window. With a flick of her hand, half the bowl of sugar soup was poured onto the ground in front of the window.
"Young Lady, really want to go to that Wo Long Temple?" Bai Lu asked hesitantly.
"Must go." Shen Miao answered.
In her previous life, it was at this time that she inadvertently heard the maids of Rong Jing Tang talking and knew that Old Shen Furen had the intention to marry her to Prince Yu of the First Rank. The night before going to Wo Long Temple, she fled to Prince Ding's residence. Even though that decision was wrong, but by a freak combination of factors, another disaster was avoided.
Now she did not escape nor hide and just followed to Wo Long Temple. Whoever wanted to see her show, she would let that person become the worst show.
