The two happened to be leaving from Su Miao's side, and she couldn't help but glance at them, feeling a pang of sadness.

She had already anticipated that Shen Changji would feel differently after seeing Meng Ying, but she couldn't bring herself to be happy.

Instead, I felt a bit down...

Even though she had prepared herself, she still couldn't remain calm when she actually saw it.

I'm also unable to face it calmly...

Su Miao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes perfectly concealing her emotions.

Watching Shen Changji and Meng Ying's retreating figures, the second wife couldn't help but laugh, "I just saw that Ziji seemed quite satisfied with this Meng girl. Who knows, they might actually be a couple."

Grandma Shen smiled faintly: "Let the children handle their own affairs. If it works out, it's fate; if it doesn't, it's nothing."

Right, Miao'er?

Grandma Shen looked at Su Miao.

Su Miao was lost in thought, but Grandma Shen patted her hand, instantly pulling her back to reality.

"Yes... Grandmother..."

To hide her unease, Su Miao forced a smile.

...

Su Miao stayed in the courtyard for an hour with the second wife and Old Madam Shen.

Su Miao originally wanted to go straight back to her residence, but due to the hot weather, her back was covered in sweat, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to go back to her courtyard to change her clothes.

As soon as Su Miao entered the courtyard, she saw Lone Eagle standing in front of her house waiting for her.

In places where silence reigns, lone eagles will often...

Su Miao clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her heart pounding, and certain images inevitably surfaced in her mind.
