Chapter 311: Help Her (5)

"Second brother."

"I heard that Fifth Sister has been getting quite close to her cousins lately," Chen Yuan said with a smile. "Did she just come back from her cousin's place?" He chose to mention Jing Guansheng, as if to imply that there was something going on between Shen Miao and Jing Guansheng. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang both frowned, as Chen Yuan's words did not sound pleasant to them.

Shen Miao glanced at Shen Yuan, but didn't answer him. "It seems that Second Brother just returned from Second Aunt's visit. I heard that Second Aunt's attacks have been much less frequent recently. Is she getting better soon?" Ren Wanyun hadn't been seen for a long time. All matters, big and small, of the Second House were handed over to Concubine Wan. Even Old Lady Shen, who always looked down on Concubine Wan, didn't say anything. Everyone in the Shen Mansion knew that it was impossible for Ren Wanyun to live the same glorious life in the second half of her life as in the first. And Ren Wanyun's family was just wealthy merchants. Although they had money, they had no power and could not help much.

Chen Yuan's expression paused, he looked her over, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister looks quite healthy recently, is there any happy event coming soon?"

Because of the return of Shen Xin and his wife, Shen Qiu tried to show his affection to Shen Miao in various ways every day. Shen Miao was no longer the dull and dull girl she used to be. She had a good temperament and was well-mannered. No matter where she was, she would not be ignored.

“I don’t have any good news, but my second brother seems to be very busy these days, maybe something good is coming.” Shen Miao replied.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's face actually showed an expression that could be called cheerful. He said, "Oh? Was he noticed? There have been some troubles and bad luck in the past few days, but Second Brother has been trying to find a way to dispel them recently. Seeing that things are going well, he must be a little happy." He then looked at Shen Miao meaningfully, "But Fifth Sister, there's no need to belittle yourself. I think good things are coming to you soon."

Shen Miao remained silent. Shen Yuan then bowed and said, "I still have some things to say, so I won't talk to Fifth Sister any more here. Goodbye." After saying that, he strode away.

Bai Lu said angrily: "This second young master is so rude." Shen Yuan's hostility towards Shen Miao and the sarcastic words he said were all heard by everyone.

Shen Miao frowned tightly and looked at Shen Yuan's back without saying a word.

"Girl?" Frost asked worriedly.

Shen Miao said, "He's a little strange." Shen Miao knew Shen Yuan very well. Don't underestimate him. He seems to be indifferent to the affairs of the mansion, but he is the most ruthless one. Now Shen Miao is certain that Shen Yuan must have had something to do with Shen Qiu's ending in his previous life.

Although Shen Yuan didn't know that some things had been misplaced under Shen Miao's arrangement, but the words just now seemed to reveal some information, and Shen Yuan still had a trick up his sleeve.

"Should we ask Guard Mo to follow the Second Young Master?" Shuangjiang suggested.

"No need, Mo Qing doesn't have that ability yet." Shen Miao shook her head. Fu Xiuyi was nothing to be afraid of, but the people behind Fu Xiuyi had to be careful. She said, "Let's wait and see."

When she returned to the west courtyard and stepped into the house, she saw Guyu and Jingzhe waiting inside with anxious faces. Seeing Shen Miao coming back, Guyu quickly closed the door and pulled Shen Miao to sit in front of the couch in the inner room. Jingzhe then whispered, "Miss, Fu'er from Rongjing Hall has sent a message."

“How?” Shen Miao asked.

"The old lady plans to do it herself and has arranged it for two days from now." Jingzhe said angrily, "The old lady is really too mean. The master and the mistress treat her so well, and she actually plotted against the eldest young master. And that cousin, I have long seen that she is not a good person. She is really shameless!"

"Okay." Guyu interrupted her: "Girl, what should we do now?"
