Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Qiu did not say a word. He had always been a cheerful person, which was why when he signed, Shen Xin thought that he was feeling sorry for Shen Qing. However, he did not know that Shen Qiu was furious. He hated the second branch of the Shen family for being vicious and shameless and hated Prince Yu for being corrupted and licentious.

Shen Qing had long been brought away by Ren Wanyun, but Shen Gui’s expression was very complicated. Everyone looked at him meaningfully. Some colleagues from the imperial court even came to hit him when he was down. They cupped their hands and smiled at him. “Congratulations, Lord Shen. It’s a great blessing for your daughter to be Prince Yu’s consort.”

If Shen Qing was to marry Prince Yu in the past, it might not have been a big deal to Shen Gui. As long as it could help his career, his daughter’s happiness was not important. But now, what Shen Qing did and said today clearly angered Prince Yu. Would Prince Yu take his anger out on him? As he thought about it, Shen Gui felt a little frustrated and afraid.

After the banquet ended, Luo Xueyan and Shen Miao walked out of the palace. When they passed by a corridor, Shen Miao reminded her softly, “Be careful, there’s a brick here that’s loose.”

Luo Xueyan was a general, so her steps were big and heavy. If she stepped on it, she might fall. Luo Xueyan took a closer look and smiled. “I almost fell.” Then, she was stunned and looked at Shen Miao. “Jiaojiao, how did you know?”

Shen Miao had lived in the palace for decades and could remember everything vividly. When Luo Xueyan asked, she could only answer, “I fell here once and remember it.”

“I see.” Luo Xueyan smiled brightly and said, “Jiaojiao is smart. Remember not to fall where you once fell.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat, but she did not say anything.

As the two of them walked, they saw two people who looked like guards dragging a young eunuch past. The little eunuch’s mouth was gagged, and he seemed to be struggling with all his might. However, he couldn’t break free from the tall guard. Behind the three of them was Eunuch Gao.

“Madam Shen, Miss Shen.” Eunuch Gao stopped and bowed to them.

“Eunuch Gao, this…” Luo Xueyan looked at the young eunuch and asked.

“The new guy doesn’t know the rules and made a mistake. I’m taking him to be punished,” said Eunuch Gao in a sharp voice.

When the young eunuch saw Shen Miao, his gaze landed on Jingzhe, who was behind Shen Miao. He suddenly struggled crazily, as if he wanted to rush to Jingzhe’s side.

“Behave yourself!” Eunuch Gao kicked the young eunuch in the knee. The latter grunted and fell to his knees. Eunuch Gao snorted and said, “Useless. You almost offended a nobel.”

Luo Xueyan frowned. She did not like these inhumane punishments in the palace. Such a scene would make her feel uncomfortable. She immediately said to Eunuch Gao, “In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
