“What are you talking about?” Gu Yu said angrily, “The streets will definitely be very crowded. What if something happens to Miss?”

“But didn’t we always go in the past?” Bai Lu said, pouting.

“It’s different!” Gu Yu said fiercely. Bai Lu was right. At this time in the past, Shen Xin and his wife had already returned to the capital. The entire Shen family would go out to watch the Jade Rabbit Festival. However, this year, the Shen family was involved in a big case, and the murderer had yet to be found. If someone took the opportunity to take revenge, Shen Miao’s life would indeed be in danger.

“It’s fine.” Shen Miao smiled. “I want to go and watch the show anyway. With my parents and brother by my side, I won’t be in any danger.”

“But…” Gu Yu still wanted to persuade her.

“It’s decided.” Shen Miao interrupted her and walked back into the house. Gu Yu had no choice but to suppress the worry in her heart. At some point, Shen Miao had become extremely stubborn. She no longer looked like she would ask the second and third branches for help. It was indeed good that she had her own thoughts like this, but when she was stubborn, she made people feel very helpless.

Shen Miao returned to the house and sat down at her table. Her gaze landed on the plum branch outside. The branch was covered in red spots, reminding her of the letter she had received previously.

The Chen brothers had already gone back home. After Prince Yu’s mansion was wiped out, they never contacted each other again. Shen Miao was extremely cautious. All her communication with the Chen family was done through a letter sent by Mo Qing to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop so no one would suspect her.

This time, there was another piece of news that Mo Qing brought back. There was finally something about Miss Liu Ying, who Shen Miao had asked Ji Yushu to investigate. She worked in the biggest brothel in the capital, the Treasure Fragrance Chamber where she was considered one of the top beauties. It was said that on the day of the Jade Rabbit Festival, she would also dress up as the Jade Rabbit Fairy and dance by the lake. Shen Miao really wanted to go and take a look.

As for the worry Gu Yu had that someone would use this opportunity to harm Shen Miao, it was simply not going to happen. The Chen brothers were in the same team with her to begin with, so there was no way they would harm Shen Miao. As for the Shen family, Old Madam Shen was so angry that she refused to see everyone except her two sons and the grandson. The second branch of the Shen family had collapsed. Shen Yuan was too busy currying favor with the officials to harm Shen Miao.

Now that she thought about it, this was the only new year when she could temporarily let down her guard.

At this thought, the corners of Shen Miao’s lips curled up slightly, making Gu Yu, who was looking at her from outside, stunned. However, before she could come back to her senses, she heard Jingzhe’s voice. Jingzhe walked in and said, “Miss, Concubine Wan from the east courtyard has come to see you.”

Concubine Wan? Gu Yu frowned and said in a low voice, “Again?”

“Why does Concubine Wan keep coming to our courtyard?” Shuang Jiang and Bai Lu also whispered, “She’s too eager to curry favor with us.”

The maids did not like Concubine Wan. No matter what Concubine Wan’s purpose for coming was, she was still from the second branch.

A few days ago, when Concubine Wan came to see Shen Miao, she was rejected by Shen Miao with all kinds of excuses. Today, Shen Miao said, “Let her in.”

Jingzhe was stunned for a moment before going out to bring the guest in. On the other hand, Gu Yu and the others looked worried, afraid that Concubine Wan was up to no good.
