Yun Lan then took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and threw them to the young man in green.
The young man in blue was so angry that his face turned red. Just as he stepped forward to argue with Shen Mi, he was stopped by another man next to him.
The man whispered, "She is the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, and she was also granted marriage to the Crown Prince. We should be more restrained."
The young man in blue could only stop, took the ten taels of silver, and left Wangjing Tower angrily.
As soon as Shen Mi turned around, she saw Su Xun walking up to her and handing her ten taels of silver.
"Thank you for helping me just now, I will return the ten taels of silver to you."
"I don't know what your name is, young lady. You helped me out today, and I will repay you tomorrow."
Shen Mi glanced at the ten taels of silver in Su Xun's hand and said with a faint smile, "I am the daughter of Pingyang Hou, Shen Mi."
"You don't have to pay back the money."
"You must be a candidate from out of town taking the exam, right?"
Su Xun nodded, his eyes fixed on Shen Mi's beautiful eyes for a moment, then moved away in an instant.
"I came to Yanjing right after taking the provincial examination, waiting for the autumn examination."
"I heard that many talented people gather at Wangjing Tower in Yanjing City every day, so I wanted to come and take a look, and learn more about Yanjing."
He sighed: "I never thought that I would encounter such a thing. Today, I am still grateful to the girl for helping me out."
After Su Xun finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Mi.
Shen Mi was wearing a purple gauze dress. Although her face was half covered with the gauze, her beauty could not be concealed.
Shen Mi smiled and said, "Since you have just arrived in Yanjing, you must need a lot of money."
"If you can pass the imperial examination and hold a high position, you can be a good official and then repay my kindness."
After Shen Mi finished speaking, she turned around and left with Yun Lan.
Looking at Shen Mi's leaving back, Su Xun stood there for a moment.
After Shen Mi walked out of Wangjing Tower and got on a carriage, Yun Lan asked, "Miss, how do you know that person's jade pendant is a fake?"
Shen Mi said: "His jade pendant is naturally not a fake, but he has already guessed my identity, so he dare not do anything even if I give him ten taels of silver."
"What's more, he broke the jade pendant on purpose because he was jealous of Su Xun. If I dig deeper, he will definitely not be pleased."
“So, he had no room for rebuttal.”
Yun Lan said: "Then, should we just call it quits with Master Su?"
Shen Mi leaned against the carriage railing.
"Of course not."
"Su Xun will come with us, and he should know that his brother is in the Shen Mansion."
After Shen Mi finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes.
In less than a moment, Yun Lan lifted the curtain, looked back, and saw a carriage following theirs.
"Miss, as you expected, he followed me."
Shen Mi smiled calmly and said to the coachman in front: "Go through the alley and stop the carriage."
"Yes, ma'am."
After passing through the alley, the carriage stopped in a silent forest.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage behind Shen Mi and Yun Lan also stopped.
Shen Mi drew aside the curtain and saw Su Xun getting off the carriage and running towards her.
"Ms. Shen, wait a minute."
Shen Mi lowered the curtain and got off the carriage. Su Xun ran over breathlessly.
He walked up to Shen Mi and bowed politely.
"Miss Shen, I have something to discuss with you. Can I take up some of your time?"
Shen Mi frowned slightly, and her lower lip curled up in an arc.
"What's the matter, why don't you just talk about it here?"
Su Xun said: "I heard that Miss Shen's mansion has taken in a servant from the palace named Su Rong. Is it true or not?"
Shen Mi said: "It's true, could it be that you know him?"
Su Xun nodded affirmatively: "To be honest, Su Rong is my wandering brother. I am very grateful that Miss Shen is willing to take him in. I only ask Miss Shen to let me meet him once."
"I came to Yanjing this time for the purpose of taking the imperial examination."
"The second reason is to save my brother."
"These past few days, I came to Yanjing City and asked around. I learned that my brother was taken in by Miss Shen. I never thought that I would meet Miss Shen today."
Shen Mi's eyes darkened and she said calmly, "Su Rong is living very well in our Shen Mansion now."
"I asked him to follow my second brother and learn martial arts so that he can serve General Sima in the future."
She slowly approached Su Xun and said in a deep voice: "If you want to see him, you can see him anytime."
"But, since His Majesty asked me to take him back to the Shen Mansion, he belongs to my Shen Mansion."
Su Xun was surprised for a moment, then looked up at Shen Mi.
"Someone from the Shen residence? Miss Shen, can you let him stay with me? I, Su Xun, am willing to take care of my brother."
Shen Mi said: "Of course not, his slavery is in my hands."
"Besides, he was once a slave in the palace. Although he redeemed himself on your majesty's birthday, he was also branded."
"I took him in, and naturally I hope he can go far in the future."
"If he can fight in battle and achieve great military exploits, your Su family's vengeance can be avenged."
As soon as Shen Mi finished speaking, Su Xun looked at her in disbelief.
"You also know that my Su family...?"
Shen Mi nodded: "Of course I know, Su Rong told me."
"The Su family was wiped out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival many years ago. I think Master Su must be hoping to kill his enemies one day."
"You have no power or influence in Yanjing now. What will happen to Su Rong if he follows you? Will he become a nameless and faceless pawn?"
"He can borrow the power of our Shen family to go to the side of General Jiang Xuan. Maybe he can make military achievements in the future and bring glory to your Su family."
Su Xun was silent for a while. He now had no background or connections in Yanjing City, and he didn't have much money left.
I wasn’t even sure if I could go to high school, let alone take care of a younger brother.
If you want revenge, you naturally have to go up.
As for Su Rong, it would be good if he could achieve something in the future, but if you follow him, you will only be mediocre in the future.
What's more, all the slaves are now in Shen Mi's hands, so it would be useless even if he was taken away.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "Miss Shen, you are so kind. I, Su Xun, will definitely repay you in the future."
Shen Mi sneered and said, "Su Xun, my request is not high. One day, I hope you will never stand against me, against the Shen family, or against your brother Su Rong."
"I believe in how important Su Rong is to you."
"It's getting late today, I should go back."
"If you want to see your brother, you can come to the Shen Mansion and find my second brother Shen Yu."
After Shen Mi finished speaking, she politely returned the greeting and took Yun Lan back into the carriage.
Su Xun stood where he was, watching the carriage going away.
……
Shen Mi and Yun Lan's carriage slowly headed towards the Shen Mansion and gradually drove into an empty official road.
These days, Shen Mi's right eyelid kept twitching, making her feel a little uneasy.
Now, Su Rong is in his hands, and Su Xun owes him a favor for his younger brother. Even if he enters the official career in the future, he will take his younger brother into consideration.
The next step was to plot the murder of Yun Jue, the leader of the prince’s secret guards.
There are also ways to get into the underground prison of the East Palace.
There is also the matter of finding out the truth about the deaths of grandfather and mother, and even the identity of Shen Shu.
Many things have to be done step by step.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Shen Mi felt.
Yun Lan saw that Shen Mi was worried, and then asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Mi sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel like something bad is going to happen these past few days."
"Today, my father told me in the study that the prince and the queen have begun to suspect him."
"Is it possible..."
