Chapter 302: Adulterer (2)
Chen Xin and the others didn't quite understand, but seeing Shen Miao's temper, they thought it was probably just a quarrel between young girls. As grown men, they couldn't directly interfere in the affairs of young girls, so they let Shen Miao do what she wanted. Today, he was probably extremely curious, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't dislike her." Shen Miao said. Just as she finished speaking, Jingzhe on the side spoke up, "The young lady likes quietness. The cousin and the young master often come to talk to the young lady, especially the young master, who insists on chatting with her. The young lady doesn't like talking to strangers, so I think she's a little annoyed."
Jingzhe said this with a serious expression, and Shen Miao couldn't help but look back at her. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan's expressions suddenly changed. On the surface, Jingzhe's words seemed to indicate that Shen Miao was a little annoyed with the two brothers and sisters of the Jing family, but in fact, there was a lot more to her words. A young cousin who often came to talk to his cousin was quite clingy. Luo Xueyan said angrily, "What on earth does your nephew mean?"
"Madam, please calm down." Chen Xin quickly tried to comfort her, and then said to Chen Qiu, "You little bastard, you have arranged so many guards in the yard, but you didn't notice that your sister is being harassed by those cats and dogs every day?"
Chen Qiu felt wronged: "I really didn't notice..."
Shen Qiu naturally couldn't find out, because the places Jing Guansheng chose to meet Shen Miao were not in the courtyard, but at the gate of the mansion, in the garden, or in the corridor. In short, they could "meet" anywhere at any time.
"Go, guard the gate of the courtyard for me. If you see those two siblings again, tell them to close the courtyard for sword practice and no one is allowed to let them in!" Chen Xin roared.
Shen Qiu immediately went to pick people.
Luo Xueyan touched Shen Miao’s head and said, “Jiaojiao, if that person comes to bother you again in the future, don’t be polite to them, beat him up.”
Shen Xin: “…”
After Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin returned to the sword training ground, Shen Miao glanced at Jingzhe lightly: "You talk too much."
"I know I'm wrong, but young lady," Jingzhe lowered his head, "it's clear that the young master has bad intentions towards you. You've seen it a long time ago, so why didn't you tell the master and the mistress?"
"Jing Guansheng is a smart man," Shen Miao smiled faintly, "It's a pity to waste such a smart man. He can be used against others. I still have use for him. However," she changed the subject, "after you said this today, I think some things will be accelerated. Let's wait and see."
…
Ever since Shen Qiu had a group of guards stationed at the west courtyard gate, strictly forbidding them to stand guard to prevent the arrival of Jing Chuchu and Jing Guansheng, the west courtyard had become considerably quieter. Without the siblings' interruptions, Shen Miaoguo felt much more at ease. However, while their side was at peace, some people were anxious.
In Rongjing Hall, Madam Shen stared at Jing Chuchu with sharp eyes, as if her previous kindness was just an illusion. She said, "Chuchu, what on earth did you do? Why can't you even enter the courtyard of the old house now?"
Jing Chuchu lowered her head in annoyance and whispered, "I don't know why, but Fifth Sister seems to be very wary of me. My cousin is actually quite nice to me, but Fifth Sister always makes him distance himself from me. The guards at the gate of the courtyard were also put up by Fifth Sister."
"It's the fifth girl again!" Old Madam Shen's face turned pale with anger. Mother Zhang beside her patted her chest and comforted her, "Calm down, old madam."
"That girl is so cunning! Your brother is fine, but now she's even on guard against you! It's infuriating!" Old Madam Shen originally wanted Jing Guansheng and Jing Chuchu to deal with Shen Miao and Shen Qiu respectively. However, Shen Miao is a woman after all. When it comes to matters between men and women, once something goes wrong, the woman is always the one who suffers. With the hot tempers of Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan, there's no telling what they might do. If it were Shen Qiu, it would be Jing Chuchu who would suffer, and they would always be right. In the past, the people in the West Courtyard were carefree, all warriors who had fought on the battlefield. They would never fuss over such trivial matters. How could someone used to wielding swords and guns pay attention to such trivial matters? Who knew that this time the West Courtyard would change their style so drastically and simply lock the courtyard gate?
