Luo Capital

However, Feng Lisheng agreed without any hesitation. He looked at Emperor Jinghe with undisguised admiration.

But when he glanced at Shen Mingjiao, who was frowning, he said, "Princess Consort, you don't have to follow me. I can go on my own."

Shen Mingjiao's eyes lit up and she secretly gave Feng Lisheng a thumbs up.

Emperor Jinghe glanced at her and said with a faint smile, "That won't do. I already feel sorry for sending you to handle the case when you have only just gotten married. How can I be an evil person who breaks up the lovebirds?! The two of you have to go together."

Shen Mingjiao was speechless. I seriously think that you have something against me.

In the end, Shen Mingjiao could only agree to go to Luo Capital with Feng Lisheng to catch demons… Cough cough… No, to investigate the case.

They would set off as soon as they returned to her previous home tomorrow.

Actually, Shen Mingjiao wished she could skip the return to her previous home. Anyway, she had already completely fallen out with the people at the Duke Mansion, so she did not care about her reputation. She really did not care if she returned or not.

The next day, Shen Mingjiao led Eunuch Hua to the Marquis of Yong Chang Residences Residence, along with the gifts meant for the day that a bride returns to her parents' home.

Actually, it was just a formality. Shen Jian welcomed Feng Lisheng to the front yard with a flattering expression.

Meanwhile, it was very awkward in the backyard. Ever since the previous incident, Madam Li wanted to go forward and tear Shen Mingjiao apart whenever she saw her.

However, Shen Mingjiao was no longer the same as before. No matter how angry she was, she had to hold it in. So, before she sat on the chair, she pushed it away and said that she had something to do in the courtyard, then she left. She was afraid that if she did not leave at that moment, she would die of anger.

The Third Madam of the Cui family and the others looked at each other in silence. The Cui family never liked Shen Mingjiao to begin with, and after what happened last time, they did not want to see her anymore.

In the end, she casually pointed at the silent Shen Mingyan who had her eyes lowered. "Third Girl, bring the Princess Consort around."

The two of them left the Cui family's courtyard. Shen Mingjiao did not even look at Shen Mingyan. "I'm going back to the Rose Garden. Third Sister, help yourself."

Shen Mingyan looked at her bright red dress, it matched her such that it made her face look even more beautiful.

Shen Mingyan clenched her fists and shouted back at her, "Fourth Sister, if you ever feel miserable in the Palace, you can come back anytime. No matter what, this will always be your home."

Shen Mingjiao turned her head sideways and said with a faint smile, "Oh, you contributed quite a bit to my marriage too. Are you saying this now because you are envious of my gorgeous clothes?"

After saying that, she stopped looking at the other party's ugly expression and walked away leisurely.

In fact, she had never understood why Shen Mingyan was so sure that she would not have a good life after marrying into the Prince's Mansion.

Shen Mingyan gritted her teeth. The handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a braid. She tried to convince herself over and over again.

The Prince was the second male lead in the book. Although Shen Mingjiao was dressed glamorously, she would never be liked by the Prince.

Just you wait! You may be proud now, but you'll have to suffer in the future!

Shen Mingjiao, who had already walked a few steps away, suddenly turned around and smiled at her.

"Is Third Sister cursing my marriage in her heart again?"

"It's just that… I wonder if Eldest Cousin would be disappointed if he finds out that Third Sister did not hesitate to plot her biological brother's fall and hurt his leg in order to embarrass me at the wedding banquet that day!"

Shen Mingyan's face turned pale, but she said sternly, "I don't know what you're talking about…"

Shen Mingjiao shook her head. To be honest, Shen Mingyan was not very smart. In fact, she was a little petty. If not for the special opportunity, she might not even have been able to hook up with Pei Ji.

Shen Mingjiao had a quick lunch, then she got Feng Lisheng to return with her.

They had to set off for Luo Capital tomorrow and they had a lot to prepare.

…

Luo Capital was not far from this capital. It was a very big and prosperous capital.

However, the streets of Luo Capital were desolate at this moment. Even if there were peddlers and passersby occasionally, they were all in a hurry.

Shen Mingjiao lay lazily on the couch, flipping through the latest horror storybook based on the Luo Capital's massacre case.

Haitang stuck a piece of frozen fruit into her mouth and asked fearfully, "Could there really be demons in Luo Capital?"

Shen Mingjiao put her book down and yawned lazily. "It doesn't matter if there are demons. What matters more is that even three-year-olds in this city think that there are demons causing trouble."
