Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

128-129

Shen Miao said to Ah Chi, "Do not tell others about the outing today."

Ah Chi's heart quivered, his allegiance was originally with Shen Qiu, but at this moment he felt that Shen Miao's clear eyes were giving so much pressure that he nodded, "Yes."

Ah Chi found an ordinary carriage for Shen Miao. Since this carriage did not attract others' attention, others would not be able to recognise that it was the Shen family's horse carriage. There was no other reason but because Shen Miao offended the Princess Ming An from the Qin country yesterday, and HuangFu Hao and Princess Ming An were currently staying in the Yan Qing Lane, which was not far from her house. If by coincidence they meet, it would be bad if Princess Ming An gave Shen Miao problems. This Princess was very arrogant and wilful and the Qin country had lots of guards. If something really came out, it would be too late for Shen Xin and wife to come over with more people.

It was just that Ah Chi's heart was still very puzzled. Leaving the capital for two years, if one were to speak about who in the Ding capital had friendship with Shen Miao, it would be the Young Lady of the Feng residence, Feng An Ning. But today, Shen Miao rejected Feng An Ning's invitation so it was obvious that she was not going to see her. Ah Chi's imagination ran wild and started thinking of the novels that Luo Tan speak about in the Luo family to Luo Qian, Ah Chi's heart quivered. If it was really some secret relationship with whichever Gentleman, he would do his utmost to inform Shen Qiu of the matter. It was so difficult for their Shen family to have such a talented and good-looking Young Lady, how could some wild kid from who knows where, come and snatch her away.

But it did not dawn to him that the place that Shen Miao wanted to go was the Feng Xian Pawnshop.

The Feng Xian Pawnshop was the same as two years ago, still deserted. After all, not everyone had treasures to pawn here.

Shen Miao alighted from the carriage and Ah Chi followed closely, with Jing Zhe and Gu Yu also jumping down. Ah Chi had no time to size the place up, when he saw Shen Miao heading into the pawnshop without consulting anyone.

The shop assistant that was wiping the table saw the four people heading in. The person in front was wearing a cloak, but then pulled the cloak and veiled hat down, revealing a delicate face, clearly a pampered young lady of a big family, and the noble air around her made one unable to underestimate her. He smiled fawningly, "Does Young Lady want to pawn something?"

Shen Miao glanced at him. The shop assistant of the pawnshop had changed and one heard that after they went to Xiao Chun City, the Feng Xian Pawnshop was closed for two years. It was only reopened not too long ago, but one did not know if that Young Lady Hong Ling and Ji Yu Shu were still around. She said, "I am looking for Hong Ling."

The shop assistant was surprised for a moment before carefully looking at Shen Miao again. Shen Miao looked at him calmly and the shop assistant paused for a moment before quickly saying, "May Young Lady please wait for a moment." He then turned around and entered the back hall.

A moment later, a red clad female came forward with that shop assistant following behind. She was still clad in a red dress and her appearance was much more amorous, even more moving than two years ago. When she saw Shen Miao, her pupils coagulated before suddenly laughing, "Long time no see. Young Lady is increasingly more beautiful that Hong Ling could not even open her eyes."

Even though Hong Ling said these rude and impudent words, one did not feel that they were slutty, but instead there was a kind of straightforward feel to them. Shen Miao nodded her head faintly and Hong Ling smiled again before speaking, "Old rules, Young Lady follow me but..." She pointed her fair finger towards Ah Chi and delicately laughed, "This silly great hulk cannot come along."
