Chapter 329: Female Beauty (5)
He took a deep breath and stared at the person walking towards him.
Shen Miao and two maids came over from the garden. These days, she stayed in the west courtyard and did not go out. She remained indifferent to the chaos in the second house, and seemed to be much more refreshed.
Seeing Chen Yuan, she stopped and said, "Second brother."
Shen Yuan clenched his fists uncontrollably. Shen Miao and he hadn't met since the Jing Chuchu incident. Shen Yuan naturally knew that Shen Miao was the only one in the Shen family who could do such a thing, but the matter was originally handled by the people instructed by the old lady, so he couldn't interfere. Moreover, more important than holding those responsible was to appease those difficult people in the Jing family.
But thinking about how he ended up in such a miserable situation, all thanks to the girl in front of him, Shen Yuan wanted to strangle Shen Miao to death right in front of him.
Seeing that Chen Yuan was silent, Shen Miao laughed to herself: "Speaking of which, my second brother and cousin are engaged, and I haven't said congratulations yet. Congratulations, second brother, you have won the beautiful woman."
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Shen Yuan said coldly: "Thank you, Fifth Sister." After a pause, he looked at Shen Miao again: "Fifth Sister is very capable."
Shen Miao accepted it calmly. Every time she showed a look of delight, it made people mad. Shen Yuan sneered: "Fifth sister, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It is better to understand this principle as soon as possible."
“I never thought I was outstanding. Everyone knows I’m a fool.” Shen Miao pondered, “Second brother has always been outstanding. If the wind wants to push me, it’s probably not me.”
"Is that so?" Chen Yuan slowly asked back: "Fifth sister, do you think you have achieved success now? Do you think that if I marry Jing Chuchu, I will lose this game?"
"How could that be?" Shen Miao said modestly, "I know that Second Brother has always been stubborn and resilient, and he is unyielding. He will definitely not take these petty quarrels seriously. It's still early for the chess game to end."
"Maybe not as soon as you think." Shen Yuan suddenly smiled strangely: "Maybe it will be over soon." This strange smile fell on his face, making him look particularly gloomy. Jingzhe and Guyu both frowned, but saw Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and asked: "Second brother, are you trying to plot against me again?"
"Are you scared?"
Shen Miao nodded: "I am not afraid of being plotted against, I am just afraid that others will not plot against me." Her eyes were clear, as innocent as a child, and she smiled: "If others don't plot against me, how can I have a chance?"
"Then you'd better wish you good luck." Chen Yuan sneered: "I'm afraid that when that day comes, you can still laugh so happily." After saying that, he strode away.
After he left, the smile on Shen Miao's face disappeared without a trace. Jingzhe and Guyu saw this and were both shocked. Guyu asked, "Miss, is there something wrong with the Second Young Master?"
Shen Miao shook her head. Shen Yuan was a man who would not say such words if he was not sure. But what on earth made him feel that Shen Miao did not even have a chance to turn things around? A faint sense of uneasiness arose in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. Shen Miao looked at Shen Yuan's back and said softly: "It's still early in the game, but the game is almost over."

In the Baoxiang Tower of Dingjing, there was singing and dancing, the sound of stringed instruments lingering, and the fragrance of women, accompanied by laughter, was like the ultimate aphrodisiac, attracting passersby to look inside. However, their eyes were filled with longing and envy, and their wallets were short, so they could not commit to the drama of spending lavishly on a beautiful woman.
In the tea room of the small building, the tea on the table had been sitting there overnight and had long since gone cold. The guard in front of him dozed off and nearly knocked over the teapot, startling him so much that his sleepiness vanished completely. He tiptoed, and the fallen teapot landed steadily on his boot, which he picked up and placed back on the table.
