Chapter 398 Confiscation of Military Power (3)
At first glance, she sounded angry, like a spoiled girl being forced to speak without thinking, but when you listened carefully, there was no room for maneuver at all.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen Xin loved their daughter dearly. If they knew that their daughter was almost kicked out of the Shen family after they entered the palace, they would probably have to settle the score.
The people around were suddenly in an uproar. They had never expected to see such a good show here. However, the behavior of Old Madam Shen was really unpleasant. On the contrary, the Fifth Miss of the Shen family, who was called a straw bag, was born beautiful and lovely, but was forced into such a situation. They couldn't help but feel sympathy and sided with Shen Miao.
Chen Ruoqiu was secretly frightened. Seeing that Shen Miao didn't say anything, it was too late to say anything now. Arguing in front of so many people, within half a day, the whole of Dingjing City would know about this matter. Although it was said that the Shen family had benefited from severing ties with Shen Xin, Chen Ruoqiu still had a vague feeling of unease in his heart.
Shen Miao has been leading everyone by the nose. Whether it was letting Old Lady Shen say that Shen Xin should be expelled from the Shen family, or now that everyone's sympathy is leaning towards Shen Miao. But why did Shen Miao do this? Why did it seem like Shen Miao was using Old Lady Shen's words to force Shen Xin to leave the Shen family?
Chen Ruoqiu couldn't help but think of the previous incident involving the eldest wife's family splitting up. Old Madam Shen naturally didn't want the eldest wife to leave with the treasure, but the Shen Xin couple had made a firm decision. They'd agreed to look at other houses, but who knew this would happen? She'd thought the family splitting issue was over, but now it was brought up again.
Moreover, it is impossible to regret it later since it is in public.
Old Madam Shen was dissatisfied with Chen Ruoqiu's intercession for Shen Miao, but later, seeing that Shen Miao was ungrateful and had completely lost all her feelings for the Shen family, she was finally satisfied. She snorted coldly, and without caring about the contemptuous looks from the people outside, she went in with the maidservant beside her. Chen Ruoqiu hesitated for a moment, then followed in, holding Shen Yue's hand.
Aunt Wan wanted to follow in, but she saw Shen Dongling let go of her hand and walked straight to her side.
"Fifth sister." Shen Dongling called her.
This seemed to be the first time Shen Dongling called her after leaving the courtyard. Shen Miao lowered her eyes and replied calmly, "Third sister."
"Fifth sister, don't worry." Shen Dongling looked at Rourou, who was weak, but her smile was gentle. "Uncle will definitely be fine. Uncle is not the kind of person who would deceive the emperor. The truth will eventually come out."
Shen Miao’s expression remained unchanged as she said, “Thank you, Third Sister.”
Shen Dongling then smiled, turned around and walked to the stunned Wan Yi Niang, pulling her towards the door.
"Miss," Jingzhe came over and asked, "What does Third Miss mean?"
Shen Miao's arrogant outburst just now practically indicated a breakdown in her relationship with the rest of the Shen family. Yet Shen Dongling came to show her goodwill. Wasn't she afraid of Old Madam Shen's blame?
Shen Miao said nothing, watching the backs of Shen Dongling and Wan Yi Niang leaving, and shook her head thoughtfully.
Seeing that there was no one around, Aunt Wan whispered, "Ling'er, what happened to you just now? How dare you show your kindness to the Fifth Miss? If the old lady sees it, tell your father..." Shen Gui also disliked the eldest wife. It would be strange if Shen Gui was happy that Shen Dongling was rushing to please the eldest wife.
"Don't worry, Auntie." Shen Dongling smiled: "They can't beat Fifth Sister."
"What?" Aunt Wan was stunned.
Shen Dongling pursed her lips and pulled Aunt Wan forward: "Don't ask anymore, let's go back."
…
Such a big thing happened to the Shen family that even the common people were alarmed. Naturally, the former dynasty was very angry at this moment.
