Chapter 224 Massacre (2)
Some of the younger guests couldn't help but sneer, their laughter not concealed at all. Ren Wanyun almost rushed forward to argue. Just when she couldn't help herself, Shen Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, shaking his head gently at her. Ren Wanyun finally calmed down. Shen Yuan withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed on Shen Gui, who was smiling flatteringly in the distance, and his expression was gloomy for a moment.
"What the second brother did is too shameful." Luo Xueyan said disdainfully, "You allow someone to bully your own daughter like this?"
"I originally thought he was just greedy for wealth, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel." Shen Xin shook his head, his tone disappointed: "Why did the second brother become like this?"
"We are so unlucky that we are all disliked for no reason." Shen Qiu said gloomily.
Elsewhere, the Shen Yue family felt somewhat embarrassed. Although Shen Wan was also extremely ambitious in his career, he wasn't as open about it as Shen Gui. Chen Ruoqiu, on the other hand, held himself to high standards, citing his scholarly background. After all, they were all members of the Shen family, and Shen Gui's behavior was deeply embarrassing for them.
After Prince Yu humiliated Shen Gui in this way, he seemed very satisfied with the contempt everyone showed the Shen family had. When the couple bowed to each other, they deliberately prolonged the time. I don’t know if it was Shen Miao’s eyes that were blurry, at least when the bride walked past them, she seemed to be trembling.
The prince got married without even having to go through the bridal chamber prank. Shen Qing was pregnant, and if the prank went wrong and something unexpected happened, no one could bear the responsibility of murdering the royal heir. After Shen Qing was sent to the bridal chamber, Prince Yu was still outside hosting a banquet for guests, drinking and having fun.
"Congratulations, Your Highness." The ministers came up to toast flatteringly.
"Happy together." Prince Yu also replied. On the surface, it seemed that Prince Yu was truly happy today, actually enjoying himself with all the ministers. However, Shen Miao did not ignore the cold expression he occasionally glanced at her.
Prince Yu had stumbled with her, and he would always want to get it back. As their eyes approached in the air, Prince Yu raised his glass to him from a distance, then suddenly extended his hand, made an obscene gesture, and licked his lips.
Despite such malicious expressions, Shen Miao just watched calmly. However, Shen Qiu, who was standing beside her, saw her staring into the distance and followed her gaze: "Sister, what are you looking at?"
Prince Yu had already turned his head to drink with others, and Shen Qiu saw nothing. Shen Miao stood up: "I feel a little stuffy, I'm going to the door to get some fresh air."
"I'll go with you." Shen Qiu said quickly.
"No need. Mo Qing and the others are guarding outside. I won't go far. I'll be right at the door." Shen Miao rejected him and stood up and left the table.
Prince Yu's mansion was very large. Mo Qing was standing guard in the garden outside. When he saw her come out, he immediately followed her. Shen Miao did not go far, but just stood there, staring at the southwest corner of Prince Yu's mansion in a daze.
Until a voice came from behind: "Fifth sister."
Shen Miao turned around and saw Shen Yuan had followed her out at some point, smiling at her.
Chen Yuan's smile was different from Fu Xiuyi's gentleness, Chen Qiu's honesty, and even less from Ji Yushu's playfulness. His smile always seemed to hold other meanings, making people feel very uncomfortable. And when he stared into someone's eyes, it was like a venomous snake sizing its prey, with a chilling aura that lingered.
Chen Yuan is the most feared opponent in the second branch of the Shen family.
"The banquet was only halfway through when the fifth sister came out by herself. I thought she had some secret and wanted to go out and play without telling her brothers." He said something with a hint of meaning.
Shen Miao looked at the branches of flowers in the garden. It was already the coldest time of winter, and the once flourishing flowers had long since withered. The branches were bare, with nothing left. Only the heavy snow weighed down the branches, creating a cold and desolate feeling. She asked, "Then why did Second Brother follow me out here? To spy on my secrets?"
