Chapter 88: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (9)
“That’s right,” Shen Miao looked at her, “I just came from the South Pavilion.”
"What nonsense are you talking about with Second Aunt?" Ren Wanyun smiled. "Didn't you stay in the North Pavilion last night?"
Before she finished her words, she saw Shen Miao across from her smile. Ever since she woke up from the water, her expression had been very cold, and most of the time she was just smiling. But now, this smile seemed to come from the heart, and it was very bright. For some reason, it made people feel cold in their hearts.
Ren Wanyun's heart sank like a drop of lead.
"Madam, something bad has happened, the young lady is missing!" As the woman shouted in panic, what came into view was the anxious expressions of two maids. They were none other than Yanmei and Shuibi beside Shen Qing.
"What did you say!" Ren Wanyun suddenly screamed.
Shen Yue was slightly stunned. Shen Qing was gone? She secretly glanced at Shen Miao, who had a frank and calm expression, as if she had just heard a greeting.
"Why did Qing'er disappear?" Ren Wanyun grabbed Yanmei's collar, her eyes as fierce as a female beast.
“Oh, I know this.” Shen Miao suddenly spoke.
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
In the silence, Shen Miao smiled softly: "I just came from the South Pavilion. Why? Of course, it's because I stayed in the South Pavilion yesterday."
"Last night, I couldn't sleep, so I went to find my eldest sister, hoping to trade rooms with her. She agreed, probably because she thought Second Aunt would feel more at ease living next door. This morning, I ran into Second Sister when I went out, so I came here with her. I had originally wanted to come over to thank my eldest sister for being so thoughtful and offering to trade rooms with me."
With every word she spoke, Ren Wanyun's heart sank a little. In the end, despair almost overwhelmed her. The flesh on her cheeks trembled slightly with hatred, and her eyes were red, like a wild beast about to go mad.
Seeing Ren Wanyun like this, Shen Yue was a little scared. She probably guessed that something serious might have happened. However, seeing the eldest wife, who had always been secretly at odds with her mother, fall into such a situation, she naturally gloated over it. She followed Shen Miao's words and said, "Yes, early this morning, I saw the fifth sister coming out of the next room. Now she is here to have dinner with the second sister."
Shen Miao's voice was as light as a feather, but it struck Ren Wanyun's heart so hard that she almost vomited blood.
"It wasn't me who stayed here last night. It was my elder sister."
Ren Wanyun covered her heart and took two steps back, almost fainting on the ground.
The one who stayed here last night was not Shen Miao, but Shen Qing!
So, the woman Prince Yu was toying with was her Qing'er! Those shrill and miserable cries were all made by her Qing'er! She was right next door, separated from her daughter by a wall, yet she allowed her daughter to be insulted! This... How could she accept it! This must be fake! This is impossible!
Ren Wanyun's heart was broken. She looked at the tightly closed door, and for a moment, she didn't have the courage to open it. She didn't dare to imagine what kind of horrible scene would be inside. She didn't dare to look at it.
Even as the world spun around her, she still remembered that she absolutely must not let Shen Yue and Shen Miao see what was happening inside. If it got out, if it got out… She forced a smile that was uglier than crying: “You guys should go back first. I just asked, Qing’er is still sleeping. Let’s not wait for her.”
Shen Miao smiled: "Second Aunt is really good at joking. Just now she didn't know that Big Sister was resting in there, and now she says she talked to Big Sister. Could it be that Big Sister is hiding something?"
"No!" Ren Wanyun denied it outright. This action caught Shen Yue's eye and made her feel even more strange. Shen Miao's eyes moved, but she shouted to another figure approaching, "Madam Gui! Please help Second Aunt open this door."
Nanny Gui came over with her back hunched. She was ordered to come early today and had not yet seen clearly what was happening in front of her. When she heard Shen Miao say this, she thought that Shen Miao had already made an agreement with Ren Wanyun. She felt guilty and a little guilty, so Nanny Gui did not even look at Ren Wanyun's face, otherwise she would have seen that Ren Wanyun's face was ashen.
Because Nanny Gui was close to the door, Ren Wanyun was too late to stop her. She heard a creaking sound and the door was slowly pushed open.
Everything seemed silent.
An intriguing smell quickly emanated from the door.
