Chapter 74: Guard

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She was not looking at him with disdain but with respect. He subconsciously blurted out, “Miss, have we met somewhere before?”

Shen Miao sighed softly. “No.”

“Then why…”

“You have an extraordinary aura, and I believe you will make a name for yourself. Now that you’re going to sell the sword you’ve been with for many years, you’re obviously at a dead end. You’re in dire need of money, but even if I give you money today, it still won’t solve the problem in the future. I’m the daughter of the mighty general. When my father returns to the capital at the end of the year, I can introduce you to him. It’s a pity that your excellent swordsmanship is wasted.”

“General Shen?” Mo Qing was stunned. He did not expect the girl in front of him to be Shen Xin’s daughter. Everyone in Ming Qi knew about Shen Xin. He was a hero on the battlefield. Men aspired to make contributions for their nation. If he followed such a general… Mo Qing felt like his blood was boiling.

However… According to the rumors circulating in the capital, Shen Miao was a complete idiot. Although she seemed to have saved the situation at the Chrysanthemum Banquet a few days ago, not many people had seen it with their own eyes. At this moment, it seemed like the rumors were not necessarily true.

“If Miss is really willing to introduce me to your father, I will naturally not decline. If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you.” Mo Qing was a straightforward person.

Seeing this, Shen Miao smiled and took out a silver from her pocket. She gave it to Mo Qing and said, “I don’t need you to repay me. I’ll just take it that you agree to work for me. My father will only be back at the end of the year. From now on, you have to return to the Shen family with me. I want you to pretend to be a guard of the Shen family, but you have to secretly protect me.”

When Mo Qing heard this, he was naturally surprised. He had also heard that on the surface, the big families were rich and powerful, but in private, they were scheming against each other with dirty tricks. Seeing that Shen Miao wanted him to protect her, he knew that the girl in front of him was probably not safe. Mo Qing was a little surprised. Since Shen Miao was Shen Xin’s daughter, why was she still in such a difficult situation? He did not ask and only said, “As you wish.”

“Take this money.” Shen Miao said, “You have to come to the Shen family within three days. Then I’ll get you a place to stay.”

Mo Qing cupped his fists again. His aura was quite strong. After he left, Gu Yu and Jingzhe both frowned. Jingzhe said, “Miss, we know nothing about this person. If he has evil intentions, I’m afraid he will…”

Shen Miao walked towards the carriage. “What are you afraid of? It’s safer to be around people like him than those at home.”

Right now, the people in the west courtyard were all spies from the second and third branches, and Shen Miao had very few people on her side. Moreover, Mo Qing was by no means a stranger.

Shen Miao sat in the carriage and sighed. She didn’t expect to meet Mo Qing here.

In her previous life, Mo Qing was the commander of the royal guards. Back then, he was recommended by Shen Xin and was an expert in martial arts. When Shen Miao went to the State of Qin to be a hostage, Mo Qing went along as a guard. If not for Mo Qing, it would probably be very difficult for her to return unscathed.

Mo Qing was loyal to Shen Xin, so he was naturally loyal to Shen Miao. Unfortunately, after Shen Miao returned to Ming Qi, because of the battle between Consort Mei and Shen Miao, Consort Mei schemed against Mo Qing and accused him of molesting the women in the palace. Fu Xiuyi had long wanted to get rid of Shen Xin’s people, and Shen Miao tried all means to stop him, but to no avail. She could only watch helplessly as Mo Qing was sentenced to death under a groundless accusation.

Now that she saw Mo Qing again, she did not know that Mo Qing was in such a difficult situation. However, it was precisely because Mo Qing was in a difficult situation that she could recruit him so easily. Shen Miao understood Mo Qing’s personality. He was the most loyal and upright. In the trip to the Wolong Temple in three days, she would feel safer with him around.

When she returned to the Shen family, Shen Miao was the only one in the mansion because Shen Yue and Shen Qing went to the Yi family’s mansion. As soon as she arrived at the west courtyard, Nanny Gui came up to her and said with a fawning smile, “Miss, you’re back. I asked the kitchen to make some sugar soup. Miss, do you want some?”

“Sure,” Shen Miao said.

Seeing that Shen Miao, who had been treating her coldly these days, suddenly became friendly, Nanny Gui was delighted and quickly said, “I’ll bring it over now.”

When Nanny Gui brought the sugar soup over, Shen Miao had already been resting for a while. Nanny Gui carefully placed the sugar soup on the table and said with a smile, “Miss, I’ve already prepared everything for the trip to the Wolong Temple. Do you need anything else?”

Shen Miao glanced at her and said calmly, “Nanny, you seem to be very enthusiastic about this.”

Nanny Gui was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “Miss, it’s rare for you to go on a long trip, so I naturally have to make sure everything is in place.”

“With Nanny following me, I’ll naturally be safe.” Shen Miao suddenly smiled. When Nanny Gui saw that smile, she felt a little uneasy.

“Since Second Madam is the one arranging and in charge of this trip, naturally nothing will go wrong,” Nanny Gui said.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Nanny Gui to thank Second Aunt for me.” Shen Miao nodded. “You can leave.”

Hearing this, Nanny Gui heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left after saying a few words. For some reason, Shen Miao had become very strange. It was as if staying with Shen Miao gave her enormous pressure. However, after leaving the room, she straightened her back and glanced at the room in disdain. She said in a low voice that only she could hear, “After three days, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant.”

In the room, Shen Miao held the bowl of sugar soup in her hand and walked to the window. She poured the sugar soup into the soil outside the window.

“Miss, are you really going to the Wolong Temple?” Bai Lu asked.

“Yes,” Shen Miao replied.

In her previous life, at this time, she accidentally heard the maids of Rongjing Hall talking. When she found out that Old Madam Shen wanted to marry her to Prince Yu, she fled to Prince Ding’s mansion the night before she went to the Wolong Temple, which led her life to a wrong path.

Now, she wouldn’t escape or hide, but follow them to the Wolong Temple. Whoever wanted to scheme against her, she would make them suffer.
