Jingzhe quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. She said to Shen Miao, “Miss, we are here in Spring City.”

Shen Miao also looked out.

Spring City was not as bad as the noble ladies in the capital made it out to be. Although it was a small place at the border, it was quite lively. It was just that the wind could be strong and sandy. Because of it, the skin of the girls here was a little dark, and they were not as delicate as the girls in the capital. There were vendors and small shops on the streets, and it was by no means short of goods.

As Jingzhe watched, she became happy. Her initial nervousness was swept away and she said, “Miss, Spring City is not much different from the capital.”

“Jiaojiao, do you like this place?” Luo Xueyan asked uneasily. What she was most afraid of was that Shen Miao was not used to living here. Luo Xueyan had grown up in Spring City, so of course, there was no problem for her. Shen Qiu and Shen Xin were both generals who had been on the battlefield, so they would not complain about living conditions. However, her pampered daughter had never left the capital.

Shen Miao smiled. “This place is pretty good.”

Only then did Luo Xueyan feel relieved. She smiled and said, “Let’s go to see your grandparents. You also have two uncles, three cousin brothers, and a cousin sister. They’re all good people. When you get there, they will definitely like you very much.”

Mrs. Luo died young, and Luo Sui had been alone for many years. The Luo family had three children, and Luo Xueyan was the youngest sister. When Shen Miao was born, the Luo family came all the way to the capital to see her once. After that, because Spring City was really too far away, Shen Miao and the Luo family had never seen each other. In her previous life, Shen Miao had a very vague impression of the Luo family. Now that she heard Luo Xueyan say that, she was actually excited to meet them.

At this moment, there were already many people gathered in front of the Luo family. Some of them were commoners who wanted to join the fun, and of course, there were people from the Luo family.

Luo Sui stood at the front, followed by a middle-aged couple. Behind the couple stood three young men and a girl. The young men all had fine features and looked upright. Although they were still young, they had the bearing of a general. The girl’s skin was a healthy wheat color, and she had a pair of almond-shaped eyes and a diamond-shaped mouth. She pulled the young man beside her and asked, “Brother, what kind of person do you think that cousin is?”

The young man had a good temper and said gently, “She should be a good person.”

“What do you mean by a good person? Can you be more specific?” The girl wasn’t satisfied with that answer. “Is she beautiful? Do you still remember the girls who visited Spring City? All of them are very beautiful, but they are so neurotic and annoying. Moreover, didn’t that official’s daughter who came to Spring City as a guest last year say that she knows our cousin?” She lowered her voice, but because of her clear voice, it could still be heard. “She said that our cousin doesn’t have a good reputation in the capital.”

“Tan!” A shout interrupted the girl. It was Luo Sui who spoke and glared fiercely at the girl called Tan. The girl quickly stood straight, stuck out her tongue, and stopped talking.

She did not speak, but another young man who looked more lively walked over and tugged at Tan’s hand. “Grandpa is just biased. This cousin is not here yet, but he’s already speaking up for her. I want to see what kind of person this cousin is.”

Shen Xin fought in the northwest all year round. When he went to the northwest border, he had to pass by Spring City, so he came over every year. Shen Qiu and the Luo family knew each other. The person the Luo family was most interested in was probably Shen Miao, who they had never seen since she was born. The world was neither big nor small. Occasionally, some officials who were demoted or passed by would come to Spring City. They knew the rumors in the capital. From all the information the Luo family gathered over time, they didn’t have a positive impression of Shen Miao.
