Chapter 101: Lossless (4)
Another possibility she imagined was that Shen Qing hadn't called for help at all. Why? Could it be intentional for her to not cry out for help despite such humiliation? Why was it intentional? This kind of thing, at the very least, was simply humiliation by a villain. At the worst, Shen Qing might even be accused of intentionally having an affair!
This world is particularly difficult for women. It is better to be safe than sorry. Once a rumor starts, it is very difficult to put it out.
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "Second Aunt, I think there are many doubts in this matter. Since Second Uncle is also fair and reasonable, why not send me to the Governor's Office for an open and honest trial? I will definitely tell you everything I know and let you make the final decision. Who knows, you might even find out who the villain is."
"No!" Ren Wanyun and Shen Gui said at the same time.
Ren Wanyun said no, naturally fearing complications. If Shen Miao spread those words, anyone with a discerning eye would see through the trick. There were many wealthy families in Dingjing City, and while it might be fine if these things were kept secret, if they got out, it wouldn't be hard for anyone to see the truth about her murdering her niece. And if she really told anyone about it, would Shen Qing's innocence be lost? If those rumors started spreading, Shen Qing was afraid she would end up hanging herself with a white silk thread.
Shen Gui said no, but his thoughts were completely different from Ren Wanyun's. He was afraid that this matter would implicate Prince Yu. Now Prince Yu had finally gotten a chance to promote him because of Shen Miao. This matter had already been messed up, with Shen Miao and Shen Qing's positions swapped. Prince Yu would be furious when he learned the truth. If he was implicated in another case and brought trouble to Prince Yu, Shen Gui was afraid that his official career would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, the couple who were so angry just now stopped Shen Miao’s proposal in unison.
"Then what else does Second Uncle want to do?" Shen Miao glanced at the thick whip in Shen Gui's hand and asked nonchalantly, "Do you still need to use family rules?"
The people in the room were silent for a moment, and Shen Yue stared at Shen Miao in disbelief.
Even Shen Yue could see that she was threatening!
As if to alleviate the surprise in everyone's hearts, Shen Miao chuckled softly and said, "Second Uncle can't do anything about it even if he uses family law, but I have always been stubborn. That villain wants me to bear the accusation for a crime that is not mine. When father returns, I will definitely find a way to file a complaint with the government."
What she meant was: Shen Gui beat her today, and when Shen Xin returns in the future, she will definitely file a complaint, and even instigate Shen Xin to go to the government office to file a complaint, saying that she is suing a bad guy. Who knows who she will sue in the end?
“Second Uncle, do you want to invite us or not? If you want to invite us, please do it quickly.” Shen Miao’s clear eyes smiled slightly, and her words were filled with subtle sarcasm: “After all, with so many people here, I can’t escape either.”
He simply described the people in Rong Jingtang as bandits, as if he was going to order someone to pin Shen Miao down and beat her with a stick the next moment.
Shen Gui had never expected that, despite his experience in the officialdom and the imperial court, where he could handle any situation with ease, he would be threatened by his own niece. It wasn't that he was completely unable to think of a way to respond, but Shen Miao had never given him a chance to react from beginning to end. It was Shen Miao who was the only one talking, and the more she spoke, the sharper and more aggressive she became, making it impossible to avoid her.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Shen Wan's eyes. His second brother was a veteran of the imperial court; even his political enemies had never forced him into such a state of embarrassment. And the one who had forced him into this situation was a mere fourteen-year-old girl. The eldest wife... was she truly so indestructible? Shen Wan's eyes darkened.
