The next morning, at dawn, Jingzhe and Gu Yu came over to help Shen Miao get up. When they entered the room, they saw Shen Miao sleeping on the couch. The blanket was gone, and she was covered in a fox fur coat.
The two of them were shocked. When they left yesterday, they did not see such a coat. Where did this fox fur coat come from? Jingzhe woke Shen Miao up. When Shen Miao woke up, she looked at the fox fur coat in confusion.
Although the aftereffects of the plum wine were strong, just as the farmer’s wife said, it wouldn’t cause hangover. Shen did not feel dizzy when she woke up the next day, but she could not remember what happened last night at all. She didn’t even know why she insisted on staying in this room alone.
Gu Yu held the snow-white fox fur coat and said, “Miss, where did you get this fox fur coat?”
Shen Miao took the coat and shook her head.
“The boxes of clothes are all here. Miss, did you get too cold last night and took the coat out yourself?” Jingzhe asked tentatively, “But why do I feel like this is the first time I’ve seen this fox fur coat?”
They did not think of the possibility that someone might have snuck into the room because there were guards keeping watch outside. However, the appearance of this fox fur coat was too strange. Shen Miao said, “Take it and go out to ask the farmer if it’s his.”
When they brought the fox fur coat to ask the farmer, he shook his head and said, “I don’t have such a high quality fox fur coat.”
Shen Qiu took the fox fur coat and said, “This fox fur coat doesn’t look ordinary. Sister, where did you get this? I’m afraid it’s worth a lot of money. The workmanship looks masterful, but the tailoring is not good. I feel that it’s too big for you.”
Shen Miao took the fox fur coat and was puzzled. She really couldn’t remember when she bought such a coat. However, when she heard it was worth a lot of money, she took it back and lied without changing her expression. “Now that you mention it, I think I bought it in the capital. Jingzhe, put it away.”
Jingzhe was still thinking about when and where Shen Miao bought the coat. Hearing that, she immediately nodded and put the coat into the box. Shen Miao shook her head. No matter where the coat came from, she could exchange it for a lot of money when they needed it. Now that Shen Xin was not doing as well as before, they had to carefully plan their spending.
Time always passed especially quickly.
Although the road to Spring City was arduous, Shen Miao had never uttered a word of complaint.
They finally arrived at Spring City at the beginning of August. It had been almost six months since they set off back in February.
Spring City was located at the border of Ming Qi. It was a very small city. The largest official in the city was the general, General Luo Sui. All along, Luo Sui had been protecting the people of Spring City and maintaining peace. However, because it was too far from the capital, everyone knew that this general was not as glorious as it sounded. In addition, over the years, the Luo family’s army had mostly dispersed.
When the guards at the city gate saw Luo Xueyan take out the Luo family’s token from her pocket, they immediately felt a deep sense of respect and asked someone to send a message to the Luo family. Spring City was only so big, and when the Shen family marched into the city, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding commoners. When they found out that it was the daughter of the Luo family who brought her family over, the street immediately became bustling.
