Chapter 100: Lossless (3)
"Yes, Wu Niang, how can you say that?" Chen Ruoqiu finally spoke, but still quietly added fuel to the fire: "You harmed Qing'er, how can you turn the tables and blame others? Where did you learn this rule?"
Chen Ruoqiu thought that if Shen Miao and the Second House were both defeated, then her Shen Yue would truly be in her element in the Shen Mansion. After all, Shen Wan of the Third House was not as powerful as the First House, nor did he have as many children as the Second House. If they didn't use some tricks, this huge Shen Mansion would probably just be taken advantage of by others.
Ren Wanyun wept and kowtowed to Old Madam Shen: "See, this is how much Fifth Sister hates us. She harmed Qing'er and has no regrets. She even wants to tarnish Master's reputation. She's so arrogant. It's clear that she's relying on Uncle's power to bully us. Could it be that she learned this from Uncle? How could a little girl like Fifth Sister know so much? Someone must have taught her to do this. Uncle and I support each other. How could Uncle's family treat us like this..."
Ren Wanyun's sobbing was extremely loud, putting herself in a vulnerable position. The tougher she usually was, the more vulnerable she was now, the more she made people believe what she said was true.
Unfortunately, she happened to be involved with Shen Xin.
Dragons have reverse scales, and today’s Shen Xin is Shen Miao’s reverse scale.
She glanced at the people in Rongjing Hall. They were glaring at her with eager eyes. They were family, able to turn black into white and death into life. Surrounded by them, she felt like a piece of fat meat falling into the mouth of a hungry wolf.
But what good could these eloquent women do? Of all the eloquent women in the harem, how many remained? How many became fertilizer for the flourishing flowers in the imperial garden?
"Second Aunt keeps saying that I harmed my elder sister, so let me ask you a few questions. Can you help me clear up my confusion?"
Ren Wanyun was stunned. She met Shen Miao's clear eyes and felt a little guilty for some reason. But when she saw the people around her, she felt relieved. Everyone here was on her side. How could Shen Miao possibly turn the world upside down?
"Ask." She wiped her tears.
“Okay.” Shen Miao raised the corner of her lips and said, “Let me ask you, Second Aunt lived next door to Big Sister that day, very close to her. If something happened, how could Second Aunt not hear it?”
Ren Wanyun was stunned.
"If Big Sister had resisted, she would have made a sound. That day, Big Sister was covered in wounds, so I imagine she would have struggled and cried for help. Second Aunt was so close, why didn't she hear it? Could it be that she heard it but was too tired to come out to check?"
"You..." Ren Wanyun opened her mouth to refute, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on her palms.
"Of course, maybe Second Aunt didn't hear the cry for help at all. Why? Of course, it's because Big Sister didn't call for help either. Why didn't Big Sister call for help? Could it be that she knew the villain?"
“You’re talking nonsense!” This time, Ren Wanyun couldn’t hold it in any longer and interrupted Shen Miao sharply.
After all, Shen Gui and Shen Wan were men, their minds were not as delicate as women's, and they hadn't thought much about the things happening in the harem. But Chen Ruoqiu and Ren Wanyun understood almost immediately. Their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Shen Miao, naturally, the former was shocked and the latter was afraid.
Shen Miao's words were terrifying. Yes, the houses Ren Wanyun and Shen Qing lived in that day were so close. If Shen Qing had cried for help, how could she not have heard it? If she had heard it, why didn't she go and check it out? Could it be that Ren Wanyun had done it on purpose? Ren Wanyun certainly wouldn't have deliberately harmed her own daughter, but it was Shen Miao who was supposed to be living there at the time. Ren Wanyun had no reason to harm her own daughter, but it wasn't impossible for her to harm her niece. Shen Miao spoke so directly, and the secret plans in Ren Wanyun's heart were exposed before everyone without any concealment.
