After Shen Changji left, Tao'er followed him in.
"Miss!"
When Su Miao saw Tao'er, she reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. She no longer showed the grievances she had just displayed in front of Shen Changji, and instead put on her usual demeanor.
Tao'er glanced around to make sure no one was there before closing the door.
"What's the situation at the Liu residence?" Su Miao asked calmly.
"The guests have all left. It seems that Liu Taipu really did touch Gu Huayue, and she will probably be taken into the Liu household as a concubine. However, judging from the current situation, she probably won't have a good life in the Liu household in the future."
If I'm not mistaken, she went to the west wing because Lady Liu wanted her to use Liu Jiaojiao's birthday to win over Young Master Liu, but... she failed.
Tao'er reported the truth to Su Miao.
Because the spies discovered something amiss on several doors in the west wing.
Gu Huayue probably went into the wrong room.
"As for Master Liu, that was quite unexpected," Tao'er added.
After all, Liu Taipu had never met Su Miao before, so why would he suddenly want to harm her...?
However, Liu Taipu had quite a few philandering affairs outside, probably because he felt that Su Miao and Liu Muxuan couldn't be together, so he became lustful.
"That Gu Huayue is no good either. Even Young Master Liu didn't fancy her. Does she really think that just because she caught the eye of Madam Liu, she can become the eldest young mistress of the Liu family? Before you came to the Liu family, Miss, she talked about you a lot among those noble ladies!" Tao'er said with displeasure.
Su Miao took a sip of tea without any change in expression.
It's actually normal for Gu Huayue to say that she wasn't right later!
After all, Lady Liu was not a good person, and the two of them probably said a lot about her. In addition, with Liu Muxuan being nice to her, Gu Huayue was even more eager to get closer to her.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen today!
Lady Liu must be kicking herself now, right? Her distant cousin would later become her sister, sharing the same husband!
"Did Liu Jiaojiao come with him?" Su Miao asked coldly.
It's understandable that Shen Changji, who had been following her, felt she had ulterior motives.
After all, this man is very wary.
Otherwise... why would he rather use his hand to help her than touch her!
In that situation, Shen Changji was able to resist her temptation and did not take her directly... which overturned her understanding of this man's self-control!
But Shen Changji's willingness to help her proves... that this man is wavering!
Tao'er reported everything according to the messenger's words.
"No, it seems that the eldest young master saw you first... and Liu Jiaojiao also seems to have encountered you and the eldest young master by chance!"
As soon as she said that, a hint of darkness flashed in Su Miao's eyes.
The west wing is a rather secluded place, and Liu Jiaojiao is the most important person celebrating her birthday today. Why did she come here before the banquet started?
It would be fine if she were following behind Shen Changji, but she wasn't!
Su Miao couldn't help but recall the time when she was confused. She glanced at Liu Jiaojiao, who seemed somewhat surprised!
"Investigate thoroughly! Her appearance must indicate something is wrong!" Su Miao instructed.
sneaking?
Cheating on someone at a birthday party?
Su Miao recalled how Shen Changji had hurriedly left after hearing that Liu Jiaojiao had fainted from the heat, and a sarcastic smile crept onto her lips.
She glanced at the tea that Shen Changji had just used; because the situation had been so sudden, he hadn't even closed the teacup lid.
Su Miao's slender white fingers gently traced the rim of the teapot, a tender smile playing on her beautiful face, her long eyelashes concealing the dark glint in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Tao'er respectfully replied, "Yes, this servant understands!"
She had just agreed when she suddenly thought of the most important person.
"Master Liu has impure intentions. What are your thoughts, Miss?"
"idea?"
Su Miao gently brushed aside the stray hairs from her bun, smoothed the hairpin in her hair, and said slowly and deliberately, "If he dares to be so lewd, then strike at his weak point!"
Only when he loses his ability will he behave himself!
Upon hearing this, Tao'er's eyes lit up. "Alright, then we'll do as Miss wishes! Right now, I'll accompany you back to the Duke's mansion. I'll arrange for someone to go down and ensure that no one suspects you, Miss, but we can also slowly make that Liu Taipu suffer!"
After all, Liu Taipu already has sons and daughters, so it's appropriate.
Su Miao nodded.
...
When the long silence passed, Liu Jiaojiao had already been helped into the carriage.
He lifted the curtain and saw two or three maids fanning Liu Jiaojiao, who looked at him with a pale face.
The maids beside them tactfully left, leaving only Liu Jiaojiao and Shen Changji in the carriage.
"Chen Lang...you've finally arrived. It's all my fault, I'm just too weak...I can't even stand in the sun for a little while!" Liu Jiaojiao's lipstick had faded considerably as she weakly leaned against the side.
"I'll have the imperial physician examine you then," Shen Changji said calmly.
"No need... I'll feel better as long as Shen Lang spends more time with me!"
As she spoke, Liu Jiaojiao tried to pull Chen Changji's hand.
But Shen Changji seemed to be deliberately avoiding her, dodging her hand and sitting down opposite her.
Liu Jiaojiao looked at her hand, which was hanging in mid-air, and awkwardly withdrew it.
His deep, dark eyes were fixed intently on Liu Jiaojiao.
Liu Jiaojiao suddenly felt uncomfortable under the stare, and she admitted that she had pretended to faint on purpose...
Only in this way would Shen Changji leave Su Miao's house and come to find her.
If she hadn't used some tricks, Shen Changji would probably still be in Su Miao's room right now.
Even though she knew that the two of them couldn't be together and were just like siblings, she still couldn't stand Shen Changji getting too close to women!
"Liu Jiaojiao, don't try to be clever. Although I've been in the military for a long time, I'm not stupid." Shen Changji exposed her without hesitation.
Instantly, Liu Jiaojiao's eyes reddened.
“Chen Lang… how could you say that to me! I just missed you so much, do you even remember tonight…”
As Liu Jiaojiao spoke, her voice gradually softened, conveying a hint.
"I remember," he said in a long, cold voice.
“Chen Lang, I am your betrothed wife. You’ve finally come back, and I just want you to spend more time with me…” Liu Jiaojiao looked at Shen Changji with red eyes.
If it were any other time, the other man would have already been unable to stand her gaze.
But... only in silence could he look at her without changing his expression or showing any emotion.
A sense of frustration washed over Liu Jiaojiao, and she bit her lip.
"You should have expected this situation long ago. I will give you the respect you deserve. You have a respectable status, and you know better than anyone what you should and shouldn't do! Keep your little schemes to yourself!" Shen Changji's voice turned cold.
"Chen Lang, I just like you, why are you doing this..." Liu Jiaojiao asked with a wronged expression.
Why? This man has absolutely no feelings for her!
I like you.
These three words were very familiar to Shen Changji. He recalled the scene of Su Miao's eyes reddening and warm tears streaming down the back of his hand...
"If you are dissatisfied, you can request to dissolve the engagement."
