Chapter 288: Closeness (6)
Princess Rongxin really likes Shen Miao? She even lets Shen Miao visit the Princess's residence whenever she has time?
The entire Shen family stood at the gate, stunned by the female official's final words. Shen Yue nearly shredded the handkerchief in her hand. She knew Princess Rongxin, and how difficult it was to approach her. Now, Shen Miao, by some mysterious magic trick, had even Princess Rongxin taken notice of her. After all, she had established a connection with the royal family. Could that eventually lead to a relationship with Prince Ding?
Shen Yue was really anxious this time.
Shen Dongling's eyes moved, and she heard Aunt Wan's envious voice: "Fifth Miss is so lucky, this is a princess."
Shen Yuan snorted coldly, not even glancing at the gate of the mansion, and turned away. Shen Miao smiled faintly at the Shen family: "I'm sorry to have caused you all so much trouble today."
Her casual words immediately reminded Shen Xin and his wife of the expressions of the Shen family members just now, and their faces suddenly turned ugly. Seeing that Shen Miao was fine, the Shen family members were all disappointed. Looking at Shen Miao again, they were only suffocated by anger. After Mrs. Shen scolded Shen Miao a few words, they all found excuses to leave.
Shen Miao followed Shen Qiu and the others to the west courtyard. Seeing the unhappy expressions of Shen Qiu and the others, she understood.
She had deliberately delayed the Princess's residence from informing the Shen family of his whereabouts. True friendship is revealed in times of adversity, but so too can false intentions. Shen Xin's attitude towards the Shen family couldn't change overnight, just as she had held out hope for Fu Xiuyi until her last moments in her previous life. Feelings instilled in someone can't be retracted overnight, and it would take some time for Shen Xin to fully change his mind about the Shen family.
This was a good opportunity to let Chen Xin see clearly what kind of jackals the Shen family were. When they were still in the mansion, facing the distressed Shen Miao, the Shen family could still kick her when she was down. And when Chen Xin was not in Dingjing, everything that Shen Miao had suffered, Chen Xin was not a fool, he could naturally guess.
As expected, when they arrived at the West Courtyard, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan carefully asked about some things that happened tonight, and confirmed that she was fine. Then they told Shen Miao to rest early. The two left, and before leaving, they called Shen Qiu, obviously to discuss something.
After the three of them left, Shen Miao took advantage of the fact that no one was around to roll up her trouser legs, revealing the wound on her calf, which was bandaged with pure white silk cloth, and seemed to still carry the warmth of someone's palm.
It was a night full of surprises, but it seemed like I had gotten to know Xie Jingxing even better. However, the more I understood my opponent, the more dangerous he seemed. From now on... it would be best if I had less contact with him.
…
In the east courtyard of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yuan sat in the room with a gloomy expression.
After Ren Wanyun went crazy, he rarely visited her, and he had a vague sense of alienation with Shen Gui. He was not a man who valued friendship and loyalty. He could even kill his own sister. Naturally, everything was based on profit.
Tonight, I thought Shen Miao was doomed, but who knew that she not only returned intact, but also made it to the Princess's Mansion. This made Shen Yuan sense a hint of danger. The opponent's strength was not enough to be feared. What was frightening was that this opponent was constantly getting stronger.
From a foolish young lady who was bullied by everyone to a woman no one dared to underestimate, with a deep mind and ruthless means, even someone as conservative as Princess Rongxin could be conquered by Shen Miao in the end. One can't help but wonder, if Shen Miao is determined in the future, can she find even more powerful people to support her? If she wins over more people, will she deal with him next?
Treating a little girl as a rival was shameful for someone as arrogant as Chen Yuan. However, he had to admit that it was this little girl who had just come of age who had caused his second wife to become what she was today. Chen Yuan never left any trouble for himself. Shen Miao had harmed the second wife to this point, and it was clear that there would be no peace. One day, the spearhead would be turned against him.
It's just that Shen Miao is not difficult to deal with. The difficult part is that there are Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan behind her. After all, you have to take them into consideration, but... Shen Yuan looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly smiled.
Although the Shen family's eldest branch possessed considerable military power, without a successor... it would be nothing more than a pile of mud. I wonder if the Shen Xin couple would be as heartbroken as Ren Wanyun after losing the siblings Shen Miao and Shen Qiu.
