“She probably invited everyone Third Aunt knows.” Shen Miao handed Shen Qiu a cup of tea. “Maybe they came to admire you, the young general.”

“Sister, don’t tease me.” Shen Qiu waved his hand. “One is already difficult enough. There are so many women. Even the battlefield is not that scary.”

Shen Miao found it a little funny that Shen Qiu looked at women like they were ferocious beasts. However, it made sense. Most of the women approached Shen Qiu with ulterior motives. The women of the Shen family were not a good bunch either. To someone as righteous and straightforward as Shen Qiu, it was indeed like a torture to be with them.

Shen Miao tried to comfort him. “When you meet the girl you like in the future, you won’t think that way.”

Shen Qiu did not speak and stared at her as if he had seen a ghost. A moment later, he shook his head and said, “Sister, the expression on your face when you said that just now is really like Mother.”

Shen Miao was speechless. As she thought about it, she realized that she actually treated Shen Qiu as Fu Ming in some way.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw some noise outside. She looked at Shen Qiu and walked out together, only to see someone shouting at the door, “What’s wrong with you? I’m just here to see Shen Miao. Let me in!”

Shen Miao was stunned. “Feng Anning?”

When that person heard Shen Miao’s voice, she waved at her. “It’s me, Shen Miao. Tell them to let go of me!”

“Let go of her.” Shen Miao said, “She’s Miss Feng.”

After Feng Anning was let go by the guards, she patted the dust off her body in exasperation and said angrily, “What’s going on? Why are there so many guards outside your courtyard? I thought something happened to you, so I came in. Why did you get so many people to block the way? Shen Miao, are you crazy?”

This was probably the first time Feng Anning was manhandled like this by someone. She lost her temper and reprimanded Shen Miao. Shen Qiu stepped forward and said coldly, “Who are you? Why are you shouting in someone else’s house? Don’t you even know the basic manners?”

Feng Anning looked up and was about to retort when she saw Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was very handsome and was different from the weak young masters of the capital. Usually, his smile was warm and innocent, but when his face was cold, he was like a young general on the battlefield.

Feng Anning immediately restrained her arrogance and asked softly, “Who are you?”

“This is my brother,” Shen Miao said.

Shen Qiu was quite famous in the capital. The young marquis of the Xie family and the young general of the Shen family were often mentioned by people. Unfortunately, Xie Jingxing refused to become an official. Otherwise, these two people would be the most outstanding among the young officials.

“What are you doing here?” Seeing that Feng Anning was a little embarrassed, Shen Miao asked.

When Feng Anning heard this, she complained, “I came to talk to you. You know that ever since those people in Guangwen Hall found out that I’m on good terms with you, they purposefully froze me out. Who cares? I came to talk to you.”

When Shen Qiu heard that, his expression softened. He knew that Shen Miao was quite disliked in the school, but unfortunately, he was not around all year round and could not protect Shen Miao all the time. Now that Shen Miao had a friend, although her friend was arrogant and did not know etiquette, it was better than having no friends at all.

Of course, he and Feng Anning did not know that Shen Miao had no intention of making friends at all.
