    This was what Shen Xin was thinking.


    He smiled and looked at Shen Miao. “Jiaojiao, since you said that she knew it from your dream, then the dream will definitelye true. I believe you.” He actually did not intend to ask further at all.


    The words “I believe you” almost made Shen Miao cry. Back then, she insisted on marrying Fu Xiuyi. Shen Xin tried all he could to stop her. Later, when she threatened him with her life, Shen Xin finallypromised. The mighty general who had been givingmands all his life revealed a dejected and helpless expression and said, “Since you chose him, I believe you.”


    After that, Shen Miao slowly pushed the Shen family into the abyss.


    Shen Miao closed her eyes, and those tragic memories disappeared. She said, “Father, if you really believe me, make a request to His Majesty to retreat to Spring City tomorrow.”


    “Tomorrow?” Luo Xueyan was shocked. “Why the hurry?”


    “Only when we act hurriedly will His Majesty think that Father does it because he is angry about his military power being snatched away. That way, His Majesty won’t be paranoid and think too much,” Shen Miao exined.


    Shen Qiu wanted to say something, but Shen Xin said first, “Let’s do that.”


    “Shen Xin!” Luo Xueyan was a little anxious. Although she also thought what Shen Miao said made sense, it was an important matter after all. Making a decision so rashly was too risky.


    Shen Xin shook his head. “You and I have been on the battlefield for many years, but we can’t even see the situation as clearly as Jiaojiao did.” He looked at Shen Miao with aplicated gaze. In the end, he reached out and rubbed Shen Miao’s head. “If Jiaojiao is a man, how many people in the world canpare to her?”


    Shen Miao looked at him quietly.


    A young girl would definitely not be able to figure out all this alone. Shen Xin might be a boor, but that did not mean he was brainless. He had probably already seen through Shen Miao. However, Shen Xin did not ask. Even if he asked, Shen Miao would not tell him the secret of her rebirth. Perhaps this was the unconditional trust between a family.


    Just like how Shen Xin had always been on her side in her previous life.


    “The Shen family will be fine,” Shen Miao promised.


    “I will go to the court tomorrow morning to make the request.” Shen Xin smiled and pulled Luo Xueyan up. “Let’s go back and rest early.”


    Luo Xueyan wanted to say something, but when she saw Shen Xin’s expression, she suddenly froze. She had been with Shen Xin for so many years and had never seen him so serious. He was supposed to be a hero respected by the people, but he was deprived of his military power and was now going to a small city in the middle of nowhere. No one was more aggrieved than Shen Xin at this moment. For the first time, her expression softened. She held Shen Xin and said, “Alright.”


    Shen Qiu, on the other hand, was left behind. He looked at Shen Miao and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, do you… want Father to rebel?”


    Among the people of the Shen family, Shen Qiu was most aware of how ruthless Shen Miao was. When Prince Yu coveted her, she would kill everyone in Prince Yu’s mansion. The Jing family schemed against her and now, they all died. The emperor took military power from the Shen family. Was Shen Miao really doing this just to protect herself?


    “We’re the emperor’s people, and we are loyal to the emperor.” Shen Miao smiled faintly. “The Shen family has served the emperor for generations. How could that happen? Brother, don’t think too much. If anyone hears us talking about this, I’m afraid we’ll both be in trouble.”


    Shen Qiu paused for a moment before saying, “That’s for the best. Sister… don’t do anything stupid.” Only then did he turn around and walk out of the room.


    Shen Miao slowly sat down.


    She really wanted to rebel, but she needed to find a good cause to justify her rebellion. The most important thing now was to avoid trouble. However, when she returned from the Northwest, she would definitely give the royal family a big gift
