Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I didn’t know she’d done something so mind-blowing.” Ji Yushu said in surprise. Then, he nodded and said, “But on second thought, it’s not that surprising for the daughter of the mighty general to be so fearless. Although she doesn’t have a martial arts background and isn’t raised by Shen Xin, with her personality and temperament, no one will dare to offend her.”

Seeing that Gao Yang was a little lost in thought, Ji Yushu suddenly thought of something and continued, “Speaking of which, although I was the one who made up the rumor this time, everything was done according to Shen Miao’s plan. Now that I think about it, she’s really a little scary. For some reason, Prince Yu seems to have been in fury these days. He actually told Emperor Wen Hui that he wanted to marry Shen Miao. Prince Yu actually made such an idiotic mistake. He knew that Shen Xin had military power, and whoever married Shen Miao would become an eyesore in the emperor’s eyes. I’m afraid Emperor Wen Hui wouldn’t be merciful to Prince Yu this time. This way, it’d be much easier for the Chen family to execute their plan. Shen Miao is really a genius. Her plan was flawless and well-calculated.”

“Accidents won’t happen to her,” Gao Yang muttered pensively. Xie Jingxing was right. Every time Shen Miao did something that seemed dangerous, it ended up exactly the same as what she wanted to achieve in the beginning. In her plan, there were no accidents.

Gao Yang thought with relish that if he could see Shen Miao panic one day and be dumbfounded because of an “accident”, it would definitely be an entertaining scene.

“In short, I think this Shen Miao is someone worth befriending.” Ji Yushu said seriously, “In addition to her appearance, I think she will definitely become a beauty in a few years. How can I, Ji Yushu, miss out on such a smart and beautiful woman?” He revealed a smile that he thought was charming. “I’ve decided to make her as important as Miss Shaoyao in my heart. From now on, other than Miss Shaoyao, Shen Miao will also be considered my confidante.”

Gao Yang turned his head away and couldn’t be bothered to talk to this fool.

After that, the “confidante” Ji Yushu mentioned was picking and choosing items in the room.

“Sister, are you looking for something to add to Shen Qing’s dowry?” Shen Qiu scratched his head and asked.

In the storeroom, Shen Miao picked out a portion of the things that the emperor had given to the mighty general. After fumbling for a while, she finally picked out a jade pillow. It was very cold to the touch, and it emitted a jade glow, looking very expensive and nice.

“Sister, are you going to give this to Shen Qing?”

As the day of Shen Qing’s wedding approached, the entire Shen family began to prepare for Shen Qing’s marriage. A few days ago, Shen Yue asked Shen Miao what she wanted to give Shen Qing, and Shen Qiu happened to hear it. However, Shen Miao did not do anything for the past few days, so he thought that she finally remembered it and was selecting a gift for Shen Qing.

“This?” Shen Miao picked up the jade pillow and shook her head. “No.”

“Oh.” Shen Qiu asked, “Sister, do you want to use it yourself? This jade pillow looks good.”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes. This jade pillow was called the Ice Silkworm Pillow. In her previous life, this pillow was stuffed into her dowry by Shen Xin when Shen Miao left the Shen mansion to live with Prince Ding. One day, Consort Mei said that she was not feeling well and had a headache, so she insisted on wanting this pillow. At that time, the Ice Silkworm Pillow was given to Wanyu. Wanyu refused to give it and quarreled with consort Mei, causing the pillow to break. Hearing the incident, Fu Xiuyi punished Wanyu severely.

Thinking about it now, though it was all in her last life, Shen Miao still felt a stinging pain.

“Sister?” Shen Qiu asked worriedly when he saw that Shen Miao was silent.

“I’m giving this to someone.” Shen Miao said, “As for Eldest Sister’s dowry, if you have time, help me pick one thing or two for her. If you don’t have time, I’ll get Gu Yu to buy something.” The way she said it was filled with indifference.

“Oh,” Shen Qiu replied blankly. Only when Shen Miao walked out of the house did he slap his head. “Damn, I forgot to ask who she’s giving that pillow to!”

Outside the house, Jingzhe asked, “Miss, who are you giving your pillow to?”

“A friend.”

Since she would need the Chen family in the future, she had to show her willingness to befriend them. If a little gift could win her a powerful ally, the trade was definitely worth it. It was from Fu Xiuxi that she learned how to manipulate people.

This pillow was conducive to sleep and was undoubtedly a good thing for the Chen sister.
