Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

178-179

Chapter 178: Kill

Two days later.

Shen Miao woke up early and Luo Tan had long dressed up. Luo Tan had a lively character and would not be able to sit still in the residence. Ever since the last incident, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had cut down the number of times the two ladies, Shen Miao and Luo Tan, could leave the house. Even if they were to go out, there would be a long line of guards following them. Shen Miao did not mind it since she was not a real sixteen year old Young Lady and preferred tranquilly so she had no issues with staying in the residence more. However Luo Tan was not used to it at all and once she heard that she could go out to play, no matter for what reason or to do anything, she would always be interested.

Shen Qiu and Luo Ling sighed before letting Shen Miao bring along Ah Zhi and Mo Qing. Ah Zhi and Mo Qing were considered the guards with the best martial arts in the Shen residence but now they had become Shen Miao's personal bodyguards. Shen Qiu said, "You don't have to take any grievances. If there are things that you are not willing to do, just leave directly. There is no need for apprehension."

When Shen Qiu first learned that Shen Miao was going for Shen Dong Ling's appointed, he was in fact against it. He did not know why but Shen Qiu did not have any good feelings with Shen Dong Ling. Even though Shen Dong Ling was not as obvious as Shen Yue, and lived in peace with the Eldest household during the Shen residence time, one did not know why but Shen Qiu always felt that Shen Don't Ling was not a kind one. The Second household of the Shen family had committing such a big issue but only Shen Dong Ling and Wan YiNiang were safe and sound. At on the matter of Shen Yue and Shen Dong Ling exchanging of marriage, even though one did not understand what went on, Shen Qiu had always felt that Shen Dong Ling was involved in it.

Perhaps those who had been on the battlefield would have an instinct to be attracted to favourable conditions and avoid calamity as Shen Qiu was not willing have any relations with Shen Dong Ling at all so naturally he was not willing to let Shen Miao get closer to Shen Dong Ling. If Shen Dong Ling had other thoughts on Shen Miao and use Shen Miao to achieve her own selfish gains, that would not be good.

Shen Miao smiled, "I know. There is still Biao Older Sister accompanying me. Nothing will happen."

Luo Tan was filled with smiles, "Exactly so. If Older Biao Brother really worries, one can come along with us."

Shen Qiu shook his head, "There are still matters in the army. Moreover it would only block one's nose if a rough person like me go and appreciate this whatever incense." Just like civil officials would look down on those rough military commanders, the military commandars did not understand the reasoning and rationale of those civil officials. Shen Qiu did not understand what appreciation was needed for incense, not to mention there were people who would spend hundreds of silver for that one or two liang (1 liang = 50g) of incense. That really amazed him.

Luo Tan said, "Rest assure Biao Older Brother. I will take care of Youngest Biao Sister."

Shen Qiu put on a straight face and disciplined her, "With your terrible few strokes of martial arts? Don't know who was the one who even almost lost one's life the last time and it was thanks to Imperial Physician Gao who worked hard treating for the entire month."

Luo Tan feared others mentioning about this matter the most and quickly stuck out her tongue before looking at Luo Ling for help.

Luo Ling smiled gently, "In any case, one needs to be more careful. After finish appreciating, return early. The skies will darken early so it is not safe for females." When he was saying these words, his gaze was fixed on Shen Miao with eyes full of concern.

Previously when the news that Crown Prince had the intention to marry Shen Miao over was spread, Luo Xie Yuan was in a rush to settle a marriage for Shen Miao and the first one who spoke was Luo Ling. There were no bad points of Luo Ling's character and he was one of them so Luo Xue Yan viewed Luo Ling the best. Afterwards because of Prince Rui's words, the marriage was suppressed and it was no longer a rush for Luo Xue Yan to find a husband for Shen Miao. However Luo Ling had already expressed his heart to Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin so he could do some particularly obvious things.
