“Untruths?” Shen Miao sighed, but her eyes seemed to be smiling. She approached Su Mingfeng and said in a low voice, “Young Master Su, aren’t you afraid that this horse disease will eventually become a horse plague?”
Su Mingfeng’s pupils suddenly widened!
Horse Plague!
“The Earl of Pingnan has always been a cautious person and in charge of war horses for his entire life. How can he not suspect this?” Shen Miao pretended to be surprised. “Why? Didn’t he tell you about this?”
Su Mingfeng gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Didn’t Su Yu tell him? Su Yu had naturally told him. The horse disease was a precursor to the horse plague. Raising a war horse needed a lot of money. Once the horse plague broke out, the horses would suffer heavy casualties. Not only would they lose money, but on the battlefield, without enough war horses, the army wouldn’t be able to fight. If the royal family pinned the blame on them, they would lose their heads.
However, this horse disease was strange and tricky. They had found many veterinarians, but they were all helpless. Recently, they had to quarantine the sick horses, but the horses continued to die regardless. If it eventually became a horse plague… it would probably be a huge disaster for Ming Qi.
“Miss Shen, what do you think?” Su Mingfeng said sadly. As he spoke, he glanced at the partition.
At this moment, Shen Miao was not in a hurry. She picked up an empty teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself.

Seeing this, Su Mingfeng wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he swallowed it and pretended to be all ears.
“I have a way to help you out,” Shen Miao said.
Su Mingfeng was stunned. “Are you serious?”
“I was lucky enough to have acquainted myself with a vet with outstanding skills. I heard that he once cured the same horse disease. If he intervenes, the war horses can all be saved.”
Su Mingfeng remained silent.
Shen Miao picked up the teacup and took another sip. She said indifferently, “It’s not too late to make up for it. Young Master Su, when the horse disease spreads and you can’t hide it anymore, the horses won’t be the only ones who will suffer.”
Su Mingfeng gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Miao. “Miss Shen, you don’t come to just show me a way out today, do you?”
His eyes flickered. “Do you want my family to help your family? Please tell me.”
“You are indeed straightforward,” Shen Miao praised.
Su Mingfeng smiled bitterly. He was not being straightforward. It was clearly Shen Miao who was cunning. Previously, he said that the Su family was not obliged to get involved in this mess to help Shen Xin, so Shen Miao put her bargaining chip on the table. It had to be said that Shen Miao was extremely good at finding people’s weaknesses. She was using the war horse disease that the Su family had been most worried about recently. This matter had not spread yet, and even he and Su Yu only talked about it in private. He did not know how Shen Miao found out. No matter what, he could not reject this deal.
“I know that the Earl of Pingnan is acquainted with many people in the imperial court. Compared to my parents who are in the northwest all year round, Earl of Pingnan is more influential in the capital. I want to ask him to gather all his close colleagues and write a letter to His Majesty for my father.”
“A Letter?” Su Mingfeng frowned. “A letter to plead for mercy for General Shen?”
Shen Miao shook her head. “No, to impeach my father for his wrong doing.”
Su Mingfeng was stunned.
“I don’t think the Earl of Pingnan wants to get involved in this mess.” Shen Miao smiled. “So I’ll leave it to you to persuade him. However, Young Master Su, you must not tell the Earl of Pingnan about the war horses, and don’t mention me. Otherwise, this deal will be over.”
Su Mingfeng did not understand. He looked up and saw that the girl in front of him was without a question a little girl. Her eyes were round and delicate, and when she smiled, they were clear and betrayed naivety. However, when she did not smile, her eyes were cold, adding a hint of dignity. That pressure was something Su Mingfeng had never felt before.
“I can’t stay for long. If you’ve thought it through, please send someone to deliver a message to my mansion. After this is done, I’ll tell you where the vet lives.” She stood up and bowed slightly to Su Mingfeng before saying, “Thank you.”
Su Mingfeng quickly stood up and said, “Of course.”
Shen Miao glanced at the partition before turning around and walking out of the room with Mo Qing. After Shen Miao left, Su Mingfeng heaved a sigh of relief. Someone walked out from behind the partition. It was Xie Jingxing.
“You heard it all.” Su Mingfeng said, “This Miss from the Shen family is even more unpredictable than I thought.”
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and did not speak. Su Mingfeng’s gaze landed on the table. The teacup that Shen Miao had drunk from was still there.
“Speaking of which, you drank from that cup…” Su Mingfeng said, “You…”
Xie Jingxing elbowed him to stop him from continuing.
