499 Worse Than A Tiger (6)

Although she kept it, the coat really did not fit her. It was too big for Shen Miao, so it had been neglected on the bottom of the box and she had never taken it out. If not for the fact that Gu Yu took it out of the box today, Shen Miao would have forgotten about it.

She looked at the coat and thought of something. A while ago, Xie Jingxing sneaked into her bedroom at night and said that he went to see her off at the farmer’s house two years ago. She did not remember what happened that day because she was drunk. Now that she thought about it, this coat should have been left behind by Xie Jingxing.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with Shen Miao. Jingzhe called out softly, “Miss?”

Shen Miao came back to her senses and looked at the coat in Gu Yu’s hand. She said angrily, “Find a time to pawn it.”

“But Eldest Young Master said that this skin is very good and doesn’t want you to pawn it.” Gu Yu found it strange.

“No matter how good the skin is, I don’t want it.” Shen Miao said, “Pack it up and send it to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop. The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop collects treasures. Shopkeeper Ji will “like” this coat very much.”

Seeing Shen Miao like this, Gu Yu and Jingzhe did not dare to say anything else. They shrugged and continued to find other coats for Shen Miao.

In the end, they chose a brocade coat with rabbit fur. After helping Shen Miao dress up, they found an excuse and went out. Luo Tan was easy to fool. Shen Xin and the others usually only returned in the evening from the Ministry of War. Without the eyes and ears of the other two branches of the Shen family, they were much more free now.

Mo Qing acted as the coachman again. Although Mo Qing was already Shen Qiu’s subordinate, he still worked for Shen Miao. And every time, Shen Miao wouldn’t let Mo Qing tell anyone about what she was up to. As a matter of fact, Mo Qing looked more like Shen Miao’s subordinate. However, Mo Qing was probably used to that. Every time Shen Miao went out to do something and asked him to follow along, he would obey without a word.

However, today, after knowing where Shen Miao was going, Mo QIng was shocked. It was actually the mansion where the crown prince of the State of Qin lived. Shen Miao’s performance at the tribute banquet spread throughout the capital, so Mo Qing naturally knew. Princess Ming An clearly had ill intentions. Mo Qing was very worried, but Shen Miao looked confident, so he didn’t stop her.

When they arrived at Crown Prince Qin’s mansion, the guards outside took the invitation letter from Shen Miao and asked her to wait outside. They said that they would go in and inform the crown prince, but they never returned.

After a long time, Jingzhe couldn’t help but say, “It’s been almost an hour, but these people still haven’t come back yet. It’s obvious that the princess of the State of Qin is deliberately making things difficult for you. It’s very cold outside. If you fall sick from the cold, how are we going to explain it to Master and Madam?”

Gu Yu also said, “She’s really too much. Since she took the initiative to invite Miss, why does she keep Miss waiting outside the mansion?”

Usually, the guest would be received by the host at the gate, but Princess Ming An was nowhere to be seen.

Mo Qing said, “Miss, why don’t we go back?”

Shen Miao shook her head. “Since we’re already here, let’s wait. We have to show them what appropriate etiquette looks like.”

When she was in the State of Qin, Princess Ming An liked to treat people like this. In the cold winter, early in the morning, she would send people to summon Shen Miao, saying that she wanted to discuss something with her. Then, she would keep Shen waiting in the cold garden for a few hours. Sometimes, Shen Miao would wait for an entire day without seeing her. Later, she would send a maid over to deliver a message, saying she was held back by something urgent and couldn’t come. In her previous life, Shen Miao endured it. In this life, an hour was nothing.

Inside the mansion, Princess Ming An was sitting in the room. The maid was adding charcoal to the brazier. Princess Ming An picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, looking a little happy.

She asked the servant outside, “Has that b*tch left?”

“Your Highness.” The servant said, “Fifth Miss Shen’s carriage is still at the entrance of the mansion.”

A trace of displeasure flashed across Princess Ming An’s face. “She’s actually so patient.” She originally thought that if she ignored Shen Miao, Shen Miao would go back in a fit of anger. This way, she could find a reason to accuse Shen Miao of being disrespectful to her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Miao was so patient. However… she smiled and said, “After waiting for so long, I think her patience is about to run out. It’s not a bad idea to change the plan. Someone, send my order to invite Shen Miao in.”
