Ji Furen smiled, "Princess Rui is soft-hearted but it is not surprising. Even an ordinary female would not be willing to see a rabbit being killed." Seemingly afraid that Ye Furen would continue to interrogate Shen Miao, Ji Furen deliberately changed the topic and asked Ye Furen, "Speaking of which, I heard that Young Master Ye suffered from pain a few days ago. Is it better?"
Young Master Ye naturally referred to the Di son that was given birth by the concubine of the Ye family and brought up under Ye Furen's name. When Ye Furen heard this, she said, "It is still alright. It is an old problem. When it rains, it would be very painful. There is no solution even after so many years." Her tone was indifferent.
Shen Miao later found out from Octagon Jiao that this Young Master Ye was the Di son of the Ye family on the surface. The servants were very respectful to him but secretly they felt that he did not have a future. Ye Furen only treated him on the surface but never really cared about him.
Shen Miao felt that this Young Master Ye that she had never met was a little pitiful.
Ji Furen and Ye Furen continued to pull each other. Most likely it was to divert Ye Furen's attention. In the end, Ye Furen seemed to be somewhat impatient and got up to leave.
Shen Miao and Ji Furen then sat together and waited.
The sun gradually set but there was still no sign of Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jing Xing.
Shen Miao instructed Mo Qing, "Go and inquire if there is any news of them."
Ji Furen smiled, "Do not worry. There have been times like this before. Due to the need for patience in hunting, time passes in a flash. The path to Hua Luan Peak is too steep and it is not easy to walk after dark. One would have to wait until the next day to return. "Even though she said so, the slight anxiety in her eyes was captured by Shen Miao.
Shen Miao did not know if she was too sensitive. If she did not know about Xie Jing Xing's previous matters, she would really be at ease. But this time she already had a bad premonition and knew that Xie Jing Xing's trip was not as easy as it looked on the surface. Her heart tightened.
After the sun set, the sky gradually darkened. The Emperor had not returned. Other than a few Young Ladies and womenfolk who had already returned, the officials were still around the hunting grounds. Shen Miao asked Ji Furen if this was the first time such a situation occurred. Ji Furen replied, "Not really, but it was very rare in the past."
Some of the officials had already set up camp, using long cloth to make something like a tent. Even though it was summer, there would still be dew in the night, so they were afraid of catching a cold. The Ji family also made such a tent.
Shen Miao was still walking outside when she saw Lu Wan'er standing not far away and talking to a middle-aged man. It seemed like she was acting coquettishly or pleading, but the man was unmoved. Immediately after, Lu Wan 'er was forcefully pulled onto the carriage and escorted away by a group of guards.
Lu Wan'er probably wanted to stay here, but this man didn't allow it. Shen Miao was about to leave when the man seemed to feel Shen Miao's gaze and suddenly turned his head, revealing a fiendish face. He was tall and sturdy like a bear. His face was bloodthirsty and he seemed to have a violent temper. He looked at Shen Miao with a gloomy gaze. Octagon Anise said, "That's the master of the Lu family, General Lu Zhengchun."
Shen Miao suddenly realized that this was Lu Wan 'er's father, the military general of the Lu family. Then she was surprised. As a military general, Shen Xin was also very valiant but he did not look as ruthless as this person. It was as if he could not conceal the murderous intent in his heart. He was a natural god of death. Shen Miao previously found it strange that Lu Furen, Lu Wan 'er and Jing Fei did not look smart. How did the Lu family maintain such a reputation and status in Long Ye? Now that she saw Lu Zhengchun, she understood. With such a god of death, it was no wonder that Emperor Yong Le could not easily make a move against the Lu family.
Lu Zhengchun staying here, could it be that he was also waiting for a result on Luan Hua Peak? Shen Miao pondered. Her gaze swept past Lu Zhengchun and she turned to leave.
