469 Scared You to Death (6)

Luo Ling handed her a cup of tea and asked gently, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” she replied with a faint smile. She was sensitive enough to sense that someone was looking at her, but when she looked around, she didn’t see anyone.

Below the seat far away, the masked young man bent his finger and flicked the wine cup in front of him. A white jade ring on his finger emitted a faint jade-colored light.

…

No one expected such an occurrence to happen during the tribute banquet. Shen Xin, who had just returned to the capital, stole the show perfectly all thanks to his daughter. No matter what the outcome was, such a high-profile return made people a little afraid.

In the princes’ section, Fu Xiuyi’s expression had changed from that of a relaxed to serious. From time to time, he would throw glances at Shen Xin. Occasionally, his gaze would stop at the purple-clothed girl sitting quietly.

He was not the only one curious about Shen Miao. Many people present were sizing her up as well. Some young talents felt that Shen Miao was attractive and charming, Luo Tan noticed all the gazes and said, “Why are they looking at my little cousin? How can we eat in peace like this?”

Luo Ling smiled and said to Shen Miao, “Cousin, change seats with me.”

Luo Ling sat a little further in. After Shen Miao changed seats with him, Luo Ling was tall and could block her from the gazes.

Until the banquet ended, nothing else happened.

Huangfu Hao left halfway, saying that he wanted to check Princess Ming An, who had fainted from shock. No one stopped him, but everyone knew that after today, Princess Ming An would probably hate Shen Miao. Although Shen Miao was protected by Shen Xin, it was very easy for Princess Ming An to find a reason to make things difficult for Shen Miao. Everyone looked at Shen Miao with sympathy.

Only Shen Yue and her female friends were happy that Shen Miao had made an enemy of Princess Ming An. Shen Wan wanted to get close to Shen Xin. Now that Shen Xin’s official title had been reinstated and was “invited” back by Emperor Wen Hui, it was not a good thing if he fell out with Shen Xin. However, this time, Shen Xin made up his mind. When he walked past Shen Wan, he looked straight ahead and had no intention of greeting him. Everyone saw this and understood.
