Two days later.
Shen Miao woke up early and Luo Tan had long dressed up. Luo Tan had a lively temperament and was unable to sit still in the residence. Ever since that incident, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling reduced the number of times Shen Miao and Luo Tan, the two young ladies, went out. Even if he went out, he would be followed by a long line of guards. Shen Miao naturally did not care. She was not really a sixteen year old young lady and originally liked quietness so there was no problem in staying in the residence for a while. It was Luo Ling who was not used to this. As long as he heard that he could go out of the residence to play, no matter what the reason was, he would always be in high spirits.
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling exhorted a few words before letting Shen Miao bring Ah Chi and Mo Qing along. Ah Chi and Mo Qing were the guards with the best martial arts in the entire Shen residence but now they had become Shen Miao's personal guards. Shen Qiu said, "There's no need to aggrieve yourself. If there's anything you're not willing to do, you can just leave. There's no need to worry."
In the beginning when Shen Qiu knew that Shen Miao was going to Shen Dong Ling's appointment, he was actually against it. He did not know why but Shen Qiu did not have any good impression of Shen Dong Ling. Even though Shen Dong Ling's performance was not as obvious as Shen Qing's and Shen Yue's, and previously in the Shen residence, she lived in harmony with the First household, but Shen Qiu did not know why but he always felt that Shen Dong Ling was not a good person. Such a big matter happened to the Second household of the Shen family but only Shen Dong Ling and Wan YiNiang were safe and sound, and there was also the matter of Shen Yue and Shen Dong Ling exchanging marriage. Even though he did not understand the specific reason, Shen Qiu felt that it was related to Shen Dong Ling.
Perhaps it was because people who had been on the battlefield would have an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Shen Qiu was not willing to have more relations with Shen Dong Ling and naturally did not want Shen Miao and Shen Dong Ling to be too close. For a person like Shen Dong Ling, if she had any other thoughts towards Shen Miao and used Shen Miao to achieve her own selfish desires, that would not be good.
Shen Miao smiled, "I know. There is still Biao Older Sister accompanying me. Nothing will happen."
Luo Tan grinned and said, "That's right. If Cousin Qiu is really worried, you can come with us."
Shen Qiu shook his head. "I still have matters to attend to at the military headquarters. Besides, I'm just a boor. Why would I go there to taste the incense? It'll choke my nose." Just like how the civil officials looked down on the vulgarity of the generals, the generals also couldn't understand the actions of the civil officials. Shen Qiu did not understand what was so good about this incense, not to mention that there would be people who would spend a few hundred taels of silver for one or two sticks of incense, which was really surprising.
Luo Tan said, "Do not worry Older Brother Qiu, I will take good care of Youngest Biao Sister."
Shen Qiu scolded her with a stern face, "With your mediocre martial arts? I don't know who it was that almost lost their life last time and even troubled Imperial Physician Gao to treat them for more than a month. "
Luo Tan was most afraid of people mentioning this matter, so she quickly stuck out her tongue and looked at Luo Ling for help.
Luo Ling smiled gently, "No matter what, one must always be careful. After tasting the incense, come back earlier as the sky darkens early and it is not safe at a young lady's home. "When he was speaking, his eyes were staring at Shen Miao with concern.
Previously when the news that the Crown Prince had the intention to marry Shen Miao into the household was spread, Luo Xue Yan was busy arranging the marriage and the first to speak was Luo Ling. There was nothing to say about Luo Ling's character and family background and they were all from the same family so Luo Xue Yan was most optimistic about Luo Ling. Afterwards because of Prince Rui's words, the marriage was suppressed and the matter of Luo Xue Yan finding a good person for Shen Miao was not as urgent as before. But Luo Ling had already expressed his feelings to Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin, thus some matters were especially obvious.
This kind of unconcealed affection, even if Shen Miao was in charge of the Six Palaces and was used to seeing facts, she was unable to turn a blind eye to it and could only slightly avoid it, "Save it. Many thanks to Older Brother Ling's concern."
Luo Tan urged to leave and only said, "Alright, it is better to set off quickly. It would not be good if one were to be late on the road."
