The hatred of having one's husband stolen—these four words are neither too light nor too heavy.
His long, silent gaze flickered slightly, but he remained silent.
Seeing this, Su Miao's smile deepened, and she hooked her pinky finger around the heavy, long belt.
"What's gotten into him now?"
Shen Changji frowned and grabbed Su Miao's fidgeting hand.
"Oh~ what's wrong?"
"My brother already considers himself my husband? He's so excited."
Su Miao chuckled softly, her gaze sweeping over Chen Changji, who appeared delicate and languid.
Don't covet things you shouldn't have.
Not every woman of humble origins is as fortunate as you to have attained the position of county princess.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao scoffed dismissively.
"So what? My brother wants me to be grateful?"
"If I could become the Duchess of the State, then I would rather not have this position as a County Princess."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji's gaze darkened.
"You clearly have feelings for me, don't you?"
Su Miao met his gaze and smiled.
His body was clearly giving him away.
"court death?"
He gripped Su Miao's hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“If my brother didn’t feel anything, why would he come here?”
He says he likes Sister Liu and wants to marry Liu Jiaojiao. But what's the reality?
"Brother, you secured me the title of county princess and arranged for me to live here. Do you perhaps want to give me a respectable status so I can become your concubine?"
Isn't this just trying to keep a mistress hidden away?
Su Miao chuckled softly and withdrew her hand from Shen Changji's grasp.
"But I don't want to be my brother's mistress."
There was no reply from Shen Changji, a reaction that Su Miao had expected.
This man must be very conflicted.
Because she was the first woman in Shen Changji's life, the experience must have been very addictive for him.
But while he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't resist the urge to be with her.
Even though he knew it was something that couldn't be done in the light of day, he still refused to let her go.
Clearly, this is the work of a long-dormant possessiveness.
At the same time, Liu Jiaojiao was engaged to him, and was nominally his betrothed. Although he felt neither too much nor too little, he was in a complicated situation.
But often, the more this is the case...
The more opportunities she has!
"Brother, let me make you some tea. It's not good that you can't even get a cup of tea when you come to my place."
Su Miao raised her eyebrows, pulled back her skirt which was being pressed down, and moved away from Shen Changji.
Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a man's deep voice behind her.
"Do you really think you can hide the truth about what you're hiding from everyone?"
Upon hearing this, Su Miao stopped in her tracks.
What did Shen Changji find out about her?
The things from back then... were discovered by this man?
She gently gripped the handkerchief, but upon further reflection, she felt something was amiss.
She came prepared; Mo Lin had kept her identity very clean, and almost no one could find out about her past.
Therefore... Su Miao suspected that Shen Changji was playing psychological warfare with her!
She put on a smile, turned around calmly, leaned slightly against the table, and her eyes curled upwards.
She was in a good mood today, so she wore a little makeup.
Right now, she has black hair, red lips, and skin as smooth as jade, exuding a captivating charm.
"Brother, do you think I was behind what happened at the Liu residence today?"
"I have doubts."
Su Miao could feel Shen Changji's scrutinizing gaze falling on her.
Her smile became even more alluring.
"Brother, you think too highly of me. How could a weak young woman like me have such great abilities?"
Shen Changji admitted that Su Miao did indeed look gentle and weak, and it was hard to imagine that she was the one who committed the series of events that happened in the Liu family mansion.
She has been raised in her boudoir for many years, and perhaps she is like other young ladies in their boudoirs, even afraid to kill a mouse.
However, Su Miao's gentleness was only on the surface; inside... she was not simple at all.
"What? Brother doesn't believe me?" Su Miao asked back.
Shen Changji's gaze was sharp as he grabbed her chin, forcing Su Miao to look at him.
Su Miao chuckled softly.
"Don't laugh."
Su Miao was already quite beautiful, and this smile made the veins on Shen Changji's forehead bulge.
"Fine, fine, it was me who did it! I admit that the incident at the Liu residence is related to me."
"I drove Madam Liu mad! Liu Taipu, Liu Muxuan, and Liu Jiaojiao are all connected to me! Are you satisfied, brother?"
Su Miao raised her eyebrows with interest, the ends of her eyebrows twitching upwards.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji's face instantly darkened.
"Why are you unhappy, brother? You just wanted to hear me say it myself, and now that I have, why are you unhappy?"
Su Miao looked innocently at Shen Changji, her hands wandering restlessly towards his chest.
Shen Changji released Su Miao and said unhappily, "When you have time, you should also take a look at your own brain!"
With that, Shen Changji got up and left the room.
Seeing this, Su Miao helplessly shrugged.
Well, she's lying, and Shen Changji doesn't believe her either.
She told the truth, but he didn't believe her. Instead, the man made himself angry.
They even said she has something wrong with her head, how ridiculous!
As soon as Shen Changji left, Tao'er walked in from outside the door, and couldn't help but glance outside a few more times.
"What, have you angered the eldest young master again?"
"No way! I was just telling the truth, and he got angry at himself." Su Miao also felt very innocent.
"Perhaps the weather is too dry, and the eldest young master has too many things to do..."
“That’s possible,” Su Miao agreed wholeheartedly.
She thought for a moment, then added, "In that case, let's send him two buckets of chrysanthemum tea to help him cool down!"
