The eldest daughter of the Shen family has been defiled; this is a major incident.
The Duke's mansion was brightly lit, and Old Madam Shen sat in the main seat with a serious expression.
Shen Yueyin knelt below, not crying or sobbing, but with a determined look on her face.
"Now that everyone's here, repeat what you just said," said Old Mrs. Shen.
"My granddaughter is willing to marry Liu Muxuan, the son of Liu Taipu," Shen Yueyin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
If Liu Muxuan hadn't stood up for her tonight, she probably would have lost her innocence.
It was Liu Muxuan's appearance that gave her a different feeling.
Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, coupled with their long-standing relationship, they naturally... had an affair.
"And what about you? What do you mean?" Old Mrs. Shen looked at Liu Muxuan, who was kneeling beside her.
"Now that I've touched Yueyin, I will naturally take responsibility for her!" Liu Muxuan said firmly.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Shen's eyes showed more appreciation.
He has a certain sense of responsibility.
When the third branch of the family heard this news and learned that the person who had confronted Chen Yueyin was Liu Muxuan, their eyes widened in surprise.
Although she knew the two knew each other, she had never connected them.
"Yueyin, talk to your mother properly. Is this really something that was consensual between you two?"
"Otherwise what? I wouldn't be so foolish! If I were foolish, I would have married the one you're talking about long ago!"
"But Young Master Liu is not the same as Su Miao..."
"No, they haven't. They've already talked it out. There's no romantic interest between them; they're just friends," Shen Changji explained.
Shen Yueyin did not expect Shen Changji to say such a thing.
She thought... her brother wouldn't agree to her marrying Liu Muxuan...
"What do you think, Third Wife?" Old Madam Shen asked calmly.
“Since Ziji has said so, then I have no other ideas. Since the two children like each other, then let them be together,” the third wife said.
"Let Master Liu come over tomorrow to discuss the wedding date. Perhaps you two will get married before Jiaojiao and Ziji."
"It's alright, Grandmother!" Shen Yueyin said with a smile.
She had met quite a few men during this time, but compared to Liu Muxuan, they all seemed to be lacking.
Since this man dared to touch her, then she dared to marry him!
"Mu Xuan, you'd better treat Yue Yin well from now on, or I won't let you off the hook!" Old Madam Shen looked at Liu Mu Xuan, her tone becoming more serious.
"Mu Xuan understands! I will certainly not fail Yue Yin!" Liu Mu Xuan agreed without hesitation.
Seeing Liu Muxuan like this, Old Mrs. Shen felt relieved.
After all, she had been keeping an eye on the situation at the Liu residence during this time.
Liu Muxuan's skills are not bad.
It's just that he was still preoccupied with the news of his birth mother's death, so he remained in a daze.
But things are different now.
Yueyin's personality is a perfect match for his.
...
When Liu Jiaojiao heard that the person who bumped into Chen Yueyin was Liu Muxuan, she was so angry that she smashed a vase.
"What's going on!"
She looked at Cui'er with displeasure.
"This servant doesn't know either. This servant just did as Miss did. But... I didn't expect the eldest young master to be nearby, and then that's how it happened."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao slapped Cui'er across the face.
"You can't even handle this simple thing!"
"This servant...this servant knows she was wrong!"
"Do you know what you did wrong!"
Enraged, Liu Jiaojiao grabbed the broken porcelain shards and stabbed them viciously into Cui'er's hand.
"Ah! No, miss!"
The excruciating pain made Cui'er's eyes widen and her face turn deathly pale.
"Don't want it? You know what pain is? If you know what pain is, why can't you even do this simple thing right!" Liu Jiaojiao roared at Cui'er.
"Miss...you can't treat me like this! I've done my best!"
"Try your best?"
Liu Jiaojiao seemed to hear a joke and stabbed even harder.
The thought of Shen Yueyin stepping over her head after entering the door made her extremely unhappy!
Liu Muxuan already disliked her, and now he has to add Chen Yueyin to the list!
Right now, she deeply regrets pretending to be considerate that day, saying that she wasn't in a hurry to marry Shen Changji!
If she gets married, what is this Shen Yueyin anyway...!
Liu Jiaojiao threw down the shards of porcelain, letting her blood flow freely, and yelled at Cui'er, "Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Cui'er trembled as she got up and went out.
As she left, Cui'er looked at her hands, a dark glint in her eyes.
...
Su Miao had already heard about what had happened at the Duke's mansion while she was in her own residence.
"When did Miss discover that the eldest young lady was with Young Master Liu?"
"It wouldn't be considered a discovery, but they do occasionally have minor squabbles in private." Su Miao took a sip of the plum wine in her hand.
She notified Liu Muxuan to rescue the person, but she didn't expect... that while rescuing the person, she would eat them.
However, the two are quite compatible.
Since this happened to Shen Yueyin, Shen Changji will probably thoroughly investigate who attacked Yueyin tonight.
She didn't know why Liu Jiaojiao would collude with the son of the Flying Cavalry Captain.
Instead of worrying about it yourself, it's better to ask Shen Changji to investigate.
Tao'er: "I bet Liu Jiaojiao is furious. One Liu Muxuan is enough of a headache for her, and now there's another one, Chen Yueyin."
After all, once Shen Yueyin marries into the family, she will definitely take the position of mistress and have the power to manage the inner quarters.
With Aunt Gu also around, Liu Jiaojiao's situation in the mansion is probably not much better.
Su Miao smiled slightly and drank the last sip of plum wine.
"Go to sleep first, I'll rest a bit longer."
Tao'er glanced at Su Miao's expression but didn't know what to say.
Su Miao sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon, and the image of a person appeared in her mind.
"Miao'er, I've passed the selection exam. All that's left is to get a recommendation from an official in the court. Wait for me!"
"Soon, we'll be able to live a good life, Miao'er."
"Miao'er, I believe I can definitely get into the Imperial Hospital!"
"Miao'er, wait for me a little longer..."
wait……
She waited.
But she could wait no longer.
Su Miao smiled sadly, looking at the moonlight, and the tears she had been holding back finally streamed down her face.
The repression and discomfort in her heart prompted her to bite her own hand hard.
pain……
But they were unaware of it.
When Shen Changji arrived, he saw Su Miao sitting alone in the courtyard, her head down, her whole body trembling, and she occasionally let out a sob.
It looks like crying... but it doesn't quite look like it.
He frowned as he walked over and scooped her up in his arms.
Su Miao did not expect Shen Changji to appear.
Her eyes reddened, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, dripping onto the back of her long, silent hand.
He looked somewhat disheveled and pitiful.
Shen Changji had never seen Su Miao so out of control.
Her tiger's mouth was bitten open, and blood was slowly seeping out.
Shen Changji pulled her into his arms, his jawline taut, and complex emotions surging in his deep eyes.
