Chapter 521 Nightmare (4)
Shen Miao said, “Tell the servants not to mention today’s events to anyone. Chang Zaiqing has never been to the Shen residence. Remember this.”
The two maids agreed and left. Although they didn’t understand why Shen Miao cared so much about someone like Chang Zaiqing, Shen Miao always had her own intentions when doing things, and the maids would not interfere.
After everyone left, Shen Miao sat down at the table, looking at the bronze mirror in a daze.
Chang Zaiqing was sent to harm Chen Ruoqiu because he was truly despicable and had been running rampant for far too long. In their previous life, the marriage certificate between Chang Zaiqing and Shen Xin was discovered by Chen Ruoqiu "accidentally." It was Chen Ruoqiu who repeatedly insisted that Chang Zaiqing must not be wronged and that he must seek justice for her. Shen Miao wondered if Chang Zaiqing's final decision to set her sights on Shen Xin in her previous life might have been due to Chen Ruoqiu's instigation.
Since they are twin sisters and are good friends, it would be a good idea to put them together to compete for beauty. Seeing who Shen Wan likes, Shen Miao's eyes turned slightly cold. Leaving Chen Ruoqiu to Chang Zaiqing would naturally make her feel at ease. But Chang Zaiqing would not let her go easily.
But… Shen Miao frowned. What on earth did Chang Zaiqing do in her previous life that led to Luo Xueyan's death? Even now, she was still a mystery.
Because of Chang Zaiqing's matter, Shen Miao was worried about it all day. She was thinking about it when the family was having dinner in the evening. Everyone saw that she was worried, so Shen Miao said that she was a little tired. Luo Xueyan asked someone to make some milk sweet soup for Shen Miao and let her rest early.
Lying on the bed, Jingzhe and Guyu tucked in the quilt for her, blew out the lights, lowered the gauze curtains on the bed, and Shen Miao closed her eyes.
The sky darkened, her breathing gradually became steady, the dark night enveloped the entire Dingjing City, Shen Miao's body felt light and airy.
The sun outside suddenly became brighter. She opened her eyes and felt it was a bit dazzling. The air seemed to become a little hot, just like summer.
It was early winter, so how could it be summer? Shen Miao sat up, feeling an unusual headache. Looking down, she found herself sitting on a soft couch in the room. A woman's voice could be heard from the inner room. A bitter medicinal smell permeated the air.
The smell of medicine was somewhat familiar.
Shen Miao stood up. There was not a single maid in the room, but the voice of the woman inside became clearer. She thought for a moment and then went inside to see what was going on.
The windows of the spacious inner room were tightly shut. The weather was already very hot, and with them so tightly shut, it was almost impossible to breathe. Add to that the irritating, bitter smell of the medicine, and it felt strangely stuffy, as if something was blocking my chest.
Shen Miao took a few steps and wanted to close the window, but she heard someone say, "Go open the window. I'm feeling really suffocated."
Shen Miao was stunned. The woman lying on the bed had a haggard face and was wearing a thin, dark apricot cotton gown. Perhaps it was too hot, her hair was soaked with sweat, and the front of her clothes was also mostly soaked with sweat. Her face was extremely gray, and her eyes were filled with death. Shen Miao's eyes widened. It was Luo Xueyan!
When had Luo Xueyan ever looked so haggard?
"Sister, you should just lie down and be well," the woman sitting beside the bed consoled her. "It would be bad if you caught a cold in this weather."
Shen Miao turned to look at the woman. Her pale blue dress was simple, yet the fabric was expensive. Her clean, elegant and refined appearance was perfect for her age, creating a stark contrast to the lifeless Luo Xueyan. Who else could this person be but Chang Zaiqing? At this moment, Chang Zaiqing was holding the woman's hair in a bun, while holding Luo Xueyan's hand with one hand, saying, "Sister, you have to get better."
