Shen Qiu and Shen Xin were at the entrance of the mansion. Seeing the carriage leave, they asked uneasily, “Father, will Mother and Sister be alright?”
“I’ll go to the Ministry of War.” Shen Xin turned around. “Stay in the mansion. If anything happens, we will go to save them.”
Shen Qiu nodded.
In the carriage, Shen Miao’s face was tense, but all kinds of thoughts were running through her mind.
She did not feel that she was in any danger because no one at this point would scheme against her. Moreover, she knew better than anyone what the consorts in the palace were up to. Even if they really had an ill intention, they would definitely not do it openly today. The royal family cared about their reputation the most. If anything happened to her in the palace, the royal family would be the first to be criticized.
Shen Miao’s gaze darkened. The women in the palace had nothing to do with Luo Xueyan, but they summoned Luo Xueyan to the palace to talk. Perhaps they wanted to ask Luo Xueyan something. Was it about the Shen family or Shen Xin?
However, why did they suddenly pay attention to Shen Xin? Shen Xin had been keeping a low profile in the capital these days, and he was not so close to Fu Xiuyi like in her previous life. Even if the royal family wanted to suppress the Shen family, they had to have a good reason. Could it be that… they already had a reason?
Shen Miao was a little confused. They wanted Luo Xueyan to bring Shen Miao into the palace probably to just warn her that if anything happened, she wouldn’t be able to keep her daughter… The more Shen Miao thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Shen Miao couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Many things in this life were different from her previous life, especially the situation in Ming Qi. She tried her best to avoid and delay the tragedy of the Shen family, but she still couldn’t avoid fate. This time, why?
Seeing that Shen Miao’s expression was not normal, Luo Xueyan thought that she was afraid. Her heart ached as she said, “Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid. We’re just going to the palace to talk to the ladies. It’ll be over soon. Then, we’ll come and take a look at the new mansion.”
Shen Miao smiled faintly, but she was still a little distracted.
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, there were already palace maids who came to pick them up. When they saw Shen Miao and Luo Xueyan, they led the two of them in. On the way, Luo Xueyan asked the maid which consort she belonged to, but the maid smiled and did not answer.
At this moment, in the palace’s Yaoguang Hall, two women in luxurious clothes were chatting with each other. The woman on the left had a fairy bun and was dressed in a red and gold palace dress. She was gorgeous. She had a beautiful face. Although she was smiling and talking, her eyes were a little absent-minded, and she was extremely disrespectful to the woman beside her. However, although she was acting like this, the woman beside her was not angry. Instead, she smiled and replied. This woman was wearing an apricot-colored dress. Her face was not as outstanding as the woman on the left, but she looked gentle, polite, and elegant.
These two people were none other than the consorts who invited Shen Miao and her daughter to the palace today. The woman in red on the left was Consort Xu, and the elegant one on the right was Consort Dong.
“I understand why His Majesty asked us to invite Mrs. Shen, but why did Miss Shen have to come too?” Consort Xu was a little impatient. “They’re really something. We’ve been kept waiting for almost an hour.”
“The General’s Mansion is quite a distance from the palace.” Consort Dong smiled and said, “Sister, don’t be anxious.”
Consort Xu smiled. “Sister, you’re really a kind person, aren’t you?” She suddenly thought of something and smiled mischievously. “Speaking of which, that Miss Shen once liked Prince Ding. Are you very satisfied with her and want her to be your daughter-in-law?”
Consort Dong’s face froze for a moment before she smiled and said, “Sister, you must be joking. However… since His Majesty wants the two of us to come over, it’s better to be serious about it. Fifth Miss Shen is just following her mother. I’ll get the palace maid to take her out later.”
