This time, even Shen Wan, who was standing at the side without saying anything, had an ugly expression on his face. What Shen Miao meant was that it was impossible for Shen Wan to get such a good reward with his ability. Shen Wan would never be able to reach Shen Xin’s level in his career.
He looked at Shen Miao coldly and said to Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue, “Go back.” He left without looking at Shen Miao again.
Since Shen Xin was no longer powerful and was about to leave the capital, there was no need to pretend to be brothers. Shen Wan would never bother to talk to people who were useless to him.
Shen Gui also bowed to Shen Xin with a smug look and said, “Brother, I’ll take my leave first.” With that, he left without looking at them. Seeing this, Concubine Wan quickly pulled Shen Dongling and followed suit.
Shen Gui was snobbish. In his official career, he relied on flattery to climb up. In terms of talent, he was not as good as his son, Shen Yuan. In terms of temperament, he was not as tenacious as Shen Wan and was heartless. He wasn’t someone to be afraid of.
However, Shen Qiu was so angry that he said with a snort, “What a bunch of ingrates!”
Shen Miao smiled but did not say anything. Let’s not talk about Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu for the time being. In two years, Shen Yuanbai would die because of smallpox. At that time, Shen Gui had already been drugged by Ren Wanyun and would lose his ability to have another child in this life. Even if he had money, power, and beauties for the time being, he would eventually die without descendants.
The wicked would be dealt with by the wicked. She would leave this mess to the Shen family and let them clean it up themselves.
…
When Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi, heard that Shen Xin requested to go to Spring City, Emperor Wen Hui had already granted it.
At this moment, Fu Xiuyi naturally could not say anything else. The more he said, the more suspicious he would appear. However, he found it a little strange that Shen Xin would suddenly do this. He could clearly see Shen Xi was definitely not an impulsive person. Even if he was angry that his military power was taken away, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to leave the capital.
Fu Xiuyi couldn’t help but recall what Shen Yuan had reminded him before.
“Your Highness, don’t underestimate my fifth sister.”
However, Fu Xiuyi did not take these words to heart at that time. Now, for some reason, he thought about it again. Could it be that Shen Miao was urging Shen Xin to make this decision? However, why would a pampered young lady from the capital take the initiative to go to a cold place like the Northwest?
Fu Xiuyi was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong exactly. He only felt that things should not have developed like this.
The aide beside him asked, “Your Highness, are you worried about the mighty general? Although Shen Xin’s departure was very unexpected, the Shen army has already dispersed, and his military power has been taken away. The mighty general is not very useful. Your Highness, you can rest assured.””
Fu Xiuyi pulled back his mind and nodded absent-mindedly. Shen Xin was not his important chess piece after all. If Shen Miao still loved him, he didn’t mind using Shen Xin to his benefit. However, for some reason, Shen Miao’s love for him was gone all of a sudden, making him lose the chance to rope Shen Xin in.
Anyhow, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing that Shen Miao stopped taking a fancy to him. If he really married Shen Miao, even if he could gain the Shen army in return, he would be mocked by everyone. Fu Xiuyi was extremely self-conceited. How could he allow himself to be a laughing stock? Now that Shen Xin and his family were about to leave the capital, those rumors would be gone too. He said, “In the next few days, go and recruit more people.”
