After Su Miao left, Shen Xing saw all of Shen Changji's actions.

From being lost and confused to picking myself up and getting to this position step by step, isn't this the moment I've been waiting for?

Although Xie Qin had only recently returned with Su Miao, he had been extremely busy lately and had barely seen Su Miao's face.

Shen Xing was right; it was probably his elder brother's doing again.

Even though they care deeply, they still act up.

After finishing his conversation, Shen Xing took what he wanted and left.

As for what will happen next, that's a matter for long silence.

After the person left, Chen Changji sat in the study, the image of Su Miao flashing through his mind.

Shen Xing's words were not without reason...

——

Su Miao hadn't attended these kinds of events in a long time. She looked at herself in the mirror and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Su Miao arrived a step earlier than Shen Changji. When Shen Yueyin saw her, she immediately took her hand and talked for a while.

In these three years, Liu Muxuan has changed a lot.

Shen Yueyin glanced around, unable to contain her emotions, and said to Su Miao with a shy expression, "The imperial physician told me a few days ago that I'm pregnant! Miao'er, this feeling... is truly wonderful!"

Su Miao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"This is great news!"

"Shh! The reason I didn't say it is because my mother told me that it's not advisable to be high-profile during the first three months!"

You have no idea how happy I was when I heard this news!

As she spoke, Shen Yueyin touched her lower abdomen with a look of affection.

She considered Su Miao one of her own, which is why she told her.

"Then I'll have to pick out some good things to send over!" Su Miao said with a smile.

"Miao'er, you're still so wonderful!"

As soon as Chen Yueyin finished speaking, a servant's voice came from outside the door.

"Madam, the Duke has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Su Miao was pulled by Shen Yueyin.

"Let's go out together."

Su Miao hesitated for a moment, but still followed Shen Yueyin out.

Shen Yueyin had no idea that Shen Changji would appear with Meng Ying.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Shen Changji bending down to adjust Meng Ying's hairpins.

Shen Yueyin was even more stunned.

Meng Ying, blushing shyly, nudged Chen Changji and whispered a reminder, "Someone's watching..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changji slowly withdrew his hand.

Meng Ying reached out and adjusted her hairpin, then looked at Su Miao and Shen Yueyin.

"Please excuse my poor sisterly behavior!"

Shen Yueyin quickly smoothed things over, saying, "It's alright, it's alright! Please take your seats!"

"good."

As she spoke, Meng Ying glanced at Su Miao.

Perhaps it was because she had witnessed that scene at the Duke's mansion that night that Su Miao met Meng Ying's gaze, and felt something... indescribable.

Meng Ying, however, grasped Shen Changji's hand and whispered, "Shen Lang, see you later."

"good."

Shen Yueyin greeted the two as they took their seats. Once inside and they separated, Meng Ying took the initiative to say, "Sister Su, shall I sit with you?"

Shen Yueyin was worried that Su Miao would feel uncomfortable, and was about to speak when Su Miao pressed her hand down.

Su Miao smiled and said, "Okay."

Meng Ying's behavior was very well-mannered, and she was almost never disliked. In fact, the women at the table all enjoyed talking to her.

Meng Ying was worried that Su Miao would not be comfortable, so after responding to the noble lady, she turned to Su Miao and started talking to her.

They took care of Su Miao in almost every way, and even offered to add more food for her.

“I heard from Shen Lang that you are not feeling well, so eat more.”

Su Miao looked up and met Meng Ying's gentle eyes. To be honest... she really couldn't hate or feel any malice towards someone like that.

Su Miao: "My brother mentioned me to you before."

Meng Ying smiled faintly, "Yes, he cares about you a lot."

Meng Ying knew she was behaving naturally, but she hoped Su Miao would notice the underlying meaning in her words.

After a few rounds of drinks, Meng Ying, having had a little wine, took Fang Ning out for some fresh air.

But before Meng Ying returned, Chen Yueyin came to find her.

To make things easier, Shen Yueyin led Su Miao into her room.

As soon as they entered, Shen Yueyin acted as if she had discovered a shocking secret, pulling Su Miao aside and saying, "I suspect that my brother and Meng Ying are just putting on an act! In reality, my brother doesn't like her at all, and Meng Ying doesn't like him either!"

The two of them were only pretending to be like that because they were working together!

Shen Yueyin: "Do you know what I just saw?! I was just passing by... who knew I'd bump into Meng Ying and her little maid..."

Shen Yueyin dared not speak loudly, but could only whisper in Su Miao's ear.

That scene shocked her so much that she could swallow three eggs!

Upon hearing this, Su Miao couldn't help but recall that night.

Shen Yueyin: "You don't need to wonder if your brother knows! He definitely knows!"

Shen Yueyin spoke with unwavering conviction, almost without a hint of doubt.

Shen Yueyin: "When you were not back, my brother did not touch any beautiful women. It was only half a year before you were about to return that he had contact with Meng Ying!"

It's obvious they're after you!

Shen Changji was still angry about what happened back then, so he asked Meng Ying to come and see Su Miao's reaction.

To put it bluntly, Shen Changji lacked a sense of security in his relationship, and because he cared about her, he pretended to be friendly with Meng Ying to test Su Miao!

Su Miao looked at Shen Yueyin, her eyes filled with seriousness, "Where is he now?"

Shen Yueyin told Su Miao a location, but Su Miao was in no hurry to go there.

Shen Yueyin's birthday banquet ended quickly, but after it ended, Shen Changji and Meng Ying still pretended to be very affectionate and specially sent her back.
