Chapter 165 Return to the Court Banquet (3)

Shen Miao responded vaguely, and when she reached the door, she saw two carriages already parked.

Shen Gui and Shen Wan were standing outside, their eyes slightly unnatural when they saw Shen Miao and her group approaching. These days, Shen Xin hadn't been kind to them, and no matter how they explained, he just didn't seem to be listening. Even when it came to paying respects to Old Madam Shen every day, Luo Xueyan was perfunctory, just going through the motions, nearly driving Old Madam Shen unconscious.

"Brother." Shen Wan was more tactful and greeted Shen Xin with a smile.

Shen Xin snorted "hmm" and walked to his carriage, saying to Shen Miao, "Madam, Jiaojiao, you go in first." Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were not used to riding in carriages, so they rode their horses outside along with the carriage.

Being so ignored, Shen Gui and Shen Wan felt embarrassed, and a hint of anger flashed in Shen Gui's eyes. One of the other two carriages opened the curtain, revealing the faces of Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu. Shen Yue said softly, "Fifth sister, do you want to ride in the same carriage with us? This carriage is big enough, even for Auntie."

"No need." Luo Xueyan said coldly, "It's your own carriage, sit in peace."

Shen Miao almost applauded Luo Xueyan in her heart. In the past, Luo Xueyan had no conflicts with the other two families. She was straightforward and warm-hearted, so no one had ever seen such a harsh side of her. You have to know that Luo Xueyan was even more ruthless when facing the enemy on the battlefield. Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue's overtures had no effect on her.

In another carriage, Shen Qing and Ren Wanyun were also listening to the noise outside. Shen Qing's face was still a little pale, but he was holding Ren Wanyun's hand tightly, unconsciously using force, making Ren Wanyun cry out softly. When Shen Qing let go, Ren Wanyun's wrist showed the scratches of his nails.

Ren Wanyun didn't care about her hands. She hugged Shen Qing in her arms and felt Shen Qing's body trembling slightly.

"Qing'er..." Ren Wanyun whispered comfortingly.

"I must kill her..." Shen Qing gritted her teeth in his arms. She had gradually regained consciousness, recalling the horrific experience that night at Wolong Temple. All of this was thanks to Shen Miao. Even more terrifying was the fact that she was now pregnant, and she couldn't abort the child, or she might never become a mother again. Thinking of the suffering she had endured, Shen Qing wished she could make Shen Miao feel the same pain she had endured. No, she should make Shen Miao suffer ten times as much!

"Mother will avenge you..." Ren Wanyun's heart was torn as if by a knife. She only wished that she could turn into a wolf and pounce on Shen Miao and bite her throat. Shen Qing's crying was like a knife stabbing into her heart. When she faced Shen Qing, she would always think of that night when she was right next door but chose to stand by and watch.

"I will avenge Qing'er..." Ren Wanyun murmured.

In another carriage, Chen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu sat facing each other. Having just been interrupted by Luo Xueyan, Chen Yue was still somewhat displeased. Deep down, she looked down on vulgar warriors like Luo Xueyan, and now being ridiculed by the vulgar warrior in her heart, she was even more furious.

"Yu'er," Chen Ruoqiu frowned slightly, "How many times have I told you that you don't need to pay attention to this kind of person. Why should you lose your composure because of her?"

"Mother, I just can't stand it." Chen Yue looked at the palm of her hand: "Chen Miao used to treat us with great respect, but now that uncle's family is back, she also acts so arrogantly. She is relying on the power of others. If she is not doing this on purpose for us to see, what is she?" Her words revealed a jealousy that she herself did not even feel.
