After finishing her dinner, Su Miao lay comfortably in the room, holding a storybook in her hand and eating grapes that Tao'er had peeled, looking very content.
"Miss, if we take that thing to the young master, won't he be angry?"
“He’s always been hot-tempered. That tea can help him clear away heat, reduce internal fire, soothe the liver, and improve eyesight. It’s good for him,” Su Miao said, continuing to flip through the storybook in her hands.
“That makes sense. Young Master really should be more discerning,” Tao’er nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing the words "bright eyes," Su Miao immediately thought of Shen Changji's words about marrying Liu Jiaojiao as soon as possible.
She scoffed softly, unable to resist mimicking Shen Changji's manner of saying those words.
"My grandson wants to marry Jiaojiao as soon as possible!"
"Marry Jiaojiao~ Jiaojiao, oh~"
After saying that, Su Miao gave a mocking smirk and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Tao'er didn't expect Su Miao to imitate Shen Changji's speech. She thought of Shen Changji's serious and cold face being teased by Su Miao like this.
Tao couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss...you! You're actually imitating the eldest young master!!"
"What's wrong with studying? He just likes to act all mysterious and profound, doesn't he?"
She was furious at the thought of that man saying he wanted to marry Liu Jiaojiao as soon as possible.
There's clearly something wrong with their eyes!
He even called out affectionately, "Jiaojiao~"
Shen Changji said she was good at pretending, but she thought this man was even better at pretending than she was!
Especially in front of Liu Jiaojiao...
"Cunning, treacherous, two-faced, and with a terrible temper!" Su Miao couldn't help but say again.
The only thing that's passable is... his face!
That face...
It's barely passable!
If she said anything more, Su Miao felt she had been giving this man too much face.
However, it was only because of his good looks that he bewitched Liu Jiaojiao!
Su Miao shook her head and continued flipping through the storybook in her hand.
Seeing that Su Miao's mood had calmed down a lot, Tao'er stopped laughing and said, "The tea is gone, I'll go and get some more for Miss."
"Go."
Tao'er was carrying her things when she stepped outside. She saw that familiar figure, and her smile instantly froze.
She wanted to go back and tell Su Miao, but it was too late.
Because silence has already been entered!
Lone Eagle gestured to Peach, and Peach had no choice but to follow.
"My servants, could it be that you all heard what my young lady just said?"
Tao'er still remembers what Miss said: the eldest young master won't be coming here tonight. Don't worry, just say whatever you want...
Nowadays...
Lone Eagle: "Otherwise what? Your young lady speaks so clearly, it's hard not to hear her!"
"It's over!"
"What do you mean 'finished'? My master is perfectly fine, don't worry!"
The more Tao'er said this, the more uneasy she became.
...
Su Miao didn't turn around, but she heard footsteps.
"You're back so soon? Peel another grape for me, my dear peach!"
It's sweet and delicious.
Su Miao couldn't help but swing her legs and speak with rapture.
Shen Changji noticed the grapes on the table. He picked one up and gently peeled it open.
He then walked over to Su Miao and held the bottle to her lips.
Su Miao was about to eat when she noticed that the color of the newcomer's clothes was off.
She suddenly looked up, and the moment she saw Shen Changji, her smile vanished...
"eat."
Despite Shen Changji's cold expression, Su Miao did not hesitate to eat the grapes he had peeled.
This woman's skin is thicker than he imagined!
"It's so delicious! The grapes that my brother peeled are always so sweet!"
Grape juice stained Su Miao's red lips, and with each opening and closing, she exuded allure.
Thinking of what he had just overheard outside, Shen Changji took the opportunity to grab her chin.
"Insidious? Bad-tempered?"
He deliberately slowed his long, quiet voice and pressed his hand against the corner of her lips, letting out a soft sneer.
"Isn't that right? He's only gentle to Liu Jiaojiao. It hurts me. Can't I just say it?"
Following Shen Changji's words, Su Miao directly brought up Liu Jiaojiao.
"However, in my heart, you are the best."
Su Miao smiled and boldly met his deep, silent gaze.
The man tightened his grip on Su Miao's chin, forcing her to tilt her head back.
"You think a few nice words will calm me down?"
"So, what does General Shen want?"
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Su Miao instantly understood the purpose of this scoundrel's visit.
That was the idea I originally had.
She gazed at Shen Changji with alluring eyes, her hands becoming increasingly restless.
When she called out "General Shen" in a sweet voice, it carried a captivating and tender quality.
Looking at Su Miao's appearance, Shen Changji gently stroked her lips with his large hand.
"Quick-witted and eloquent."
I quite like that little mouth.
His voice was low and hoarse, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
The next second, Shen Changji switched places with her, and her chin rested on his knee.
Su Miao immediately knew what this man wanted to do, and she giggled sweetly, "General Shen is so naughty."
——
When Liu Jiaojiao returned to her room after finishing her meal, the man was already waiting for her.
She didn't refuse and leaned directly against the man.
"He said today that he wants to marry me as soon as possible, but I was worried, so I delayed for a while. Don't worry, Shen Changji will definitely marry me," Liu Jiaojiao said firmly.
"Good, since you're being so good, I'll show you some things."
With that, the man led her away through the back window.
Liu Jiaojiao thought it would be something good, but when she saw what was placed in front of her...
She couldn't help but take a step back, suppressing the nausea rising within her.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
The man walked forward triumphantly, waving the human skin mask on the jade plate.
Besides the mask, Liu Jiaojiao saw something else.
As a noblewoman, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the scene.
"You...you actually took those..."
"It's just a small selection of pretty young girls like this. Don't you see, isn't it a unique kind of enjoyment to watch them this way?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't be afraid, I've come to see you today for another matter."
Someone I know has taken a liking to the eldest daughter of Shen Changji's third wife and wants to marry her. As for how to do it, you should know.
"As the future eldest sister-in-law, you should take good care of your younger siblings." The man's calm voice came from behind.
"Aren't you afraid of messing with Shen Changji?"
“I touched his betrothed wife.”
She's just a young lady from a third wife's family, and besides, she's currently looking for a husband. After this is done, that person is willing to give me a force; you'd better not ruin my plans.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao recalled Shen Yueyin's attitude towards her and the things she had said, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Don't forget, we're in the same boat," the man reminded him again.
"Okay!" A cold glint flashed in Liu Jiaojiao's eyes as she readily agreed.
She looked at the beautiful human skin masks on the jade plate and couldn't help but think of Su Miao's face.
She's so beautiful, what would happen if she lost it?
