Venomous Empress Reborn

696 Dating (5)

It formed a sharp contrast with the delicate, fair, and beautiful hands from Consort Mei.

Shen Miao was very scared. It was not that she was scared of making a fool of herself, but she was scared that because of her, Wanyu and Fu Ming would also be criticized. When she played the Konghou, she looked at Consort Mei who was smiling at her sneeringly. Seeing Fu Xiuyi’s cold expression, she was actually so sad that she wanted to cry. However, Shen Miao could not cry. For the sake of Wanyu and Fu Ming, she had to be a dignified empress.

She pretended not to care. When she returned to Kunning Palace, she asked Shuang Jiang to bring a scissor and cut off a layer of skin on her hand.

Seeing that Shen Miao was deep in thought, Luo Tan asked, “Cousin Sister?”

Shen Miao came back to her senses and smiled bitterly.

After rebirth, her hands were still delicate, but it was as if those calluses still existed, constantly reminding her of her miserable past.

Shen Miao threw the scissor away and said, “I’m not cutting anymore.”

Luo Tan exclaimed and asked, “Why?”

Shen Miao said casually, “They will give me calluses.”

Luo Tan, who had always admired Shen Miao, couldn’t help but have a strange expression on her face. SHe said, “It’s not like you are cutting it day and night. How can it give you calluses?”

Shen Miao picked up the tea and took a sip. Gu Yu walked in and said, “Miss, Madam wants you to go to the main hall.”

Luo Xueyan didn’t go to the palace today. Shen Miao asked, “Why is my mother looking for me?”

Gu Yu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. However, Mrs. Su came to our mansion and is talking to Madam in the main hall.”

“The Su family?” Shen Miao paused and put down her teacup. “The Earl of Pingnan?”

“Exactly.”

In the main hall, Luo Xueyan was talking to Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su did not come empty-handed today. She said that her husband had two snow sparrows, but these snow sparrows were only found in the north part of the country. Mrs. Su was afraid that she would accidentally kill the birds, so she specially came to ask how she could raise them well because she knew that Luo Xueyan was from the northwest.

Previously, the Shen family and the Marquis of Lin’an were enemies, and the Su family was on good terms with the Marquis of Lin’an. Naturally, the Shen family and the Su family were at odds and did not care about each other. Luo Xueyan thought that Mrs. Su was here to make fun of her, but she saw that Mrs. Su was sincere and did not have any intention of doing that.

Since Mrs. Su came with a friendly attitude, Luo Xueyan didn’t give her the cold shoulder. However, Luo Xueyan was confused. Today, Mrs. Su said that she was here to ask how to raise the snow sparrows. After talking for a while, she did not mention the snow sparrows at all. She only pestered Luo Xueyan to tell her about the things that happened in Spring City and praised her for raising her children well.

After being complimented so much, Luo Xueyan thought that it was only right for Shen Miao to come out and greet the guest, so she asked someone to call Shen Miao over. However, Luo Xueyan was puzzled. Could it be that now that the Marquis of Lin’an was on the decline, the Su family wanted to find another backer for them, so they wanted to curry favor with the Shen family?

If that was the case, they must stay away from the Su family. At the thought of this, Luo Xueyan felt that her decision to call Shen Miao over was a little impulsive, especially when she saw Mrs. Su looking at the door expectantly. But she couldn’t take back what she had said.
