“Second Brother.”
“I heard that Fifth Sister has been quite close to cousins recently.” Shen Yuan smiled and said, “Did you just come back from Cousin Brother’s place?” He mentioned Jing Guansheng, as if he was hinting that there was something between Shen Miao and Jing Guansheng. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang frowned. Shen Yuan’s words sounded especially jarring.
Shen Miao glanced at Shen Yuan and did not answer him. She said, “It seems like Second Brother just came back from Second Aunt’s place. I heard that Second Aunt hasn’t been acting weirdly for a long time. Is she about to recover?” Ren Wanyun had not shown up for a long time. Everything in the second branch was left to Concubine Wan. Even Old Madam Shen, who had always looked down on Concubine Wan, did not say anything. Everyone in the Shen family knew that it was impossible for Ren Wanyun to live as gloriously as she did in the first half of her life.
Shen Yuan paused and sized her up. He smiled and said, “Fifth Sister, you look quite glowy. Is there something happy happening to you?”
“What happy things can happen to me? Actually, Second Brother, you seem to be very busy these days. Perhaps something good is happening to you, right?” Shen Miao replied.
Hearing this, Shen Yuan actually looked pleased. He said, “Oh? You noticed it. I’ve been plagued by bad luck for a while, but recently, I’ve been thinking of a way to get rid of it. Things are going smoothly for me lately, so I’m naturally very happy.” He looked at Shen Miao meaningfully. “But Fifth Sister, don’t worry. I think something happy is about to happen to you soon.”
Shen Miao remained silent. Shen Yuan cupped his hands and said, “I still have something to do. Goodbye.” With that, he strode away.
Bai Lu said angrily, “Second Young Master is too rude.” Anyone could tell that Shen Yuan was hostile to Shen Miao and said those sarcastic words deliberately.
Shen Miao frowned and looked at Shen Yuan’s back without saying anything.
“Miss?” Shuang Jiang asked worriedly.
Shen Miao said, “He’s indeed behaving very strangely.” Shen Miao knew Shen Yuan very well. He looked like he did not care about anything in the mansion, but he was the most ruthless. Now, Shen Miao was certain that Shen Yuan was definitely involved in what happened to Shen Qiu in her previous life.
Although Shen Yuan did not know that his plan had been messed up by Shen Miao, what he said just now seemed to have revealed some information.
“Should we get Guard Mo to spy on Second Young Master?” Shuang Jiang suggested.
“There’s no need. Mo Qing doesn’t have the ability yet.” Shen Miao shook her head. Fu Xiuyi was nothing to be afraid of, but the people behind him were different. She said, “Let’s wait and see.”
When she returned to the west courtyard, she had just stepped into the house when she saw Gu Yu and Jingzhe waiting anxiously in the house. Seeing that Shen Miao had returned, Gu Yu quickly closed the door and pulled Shen Miao to sit down on the couch. Jingzhe whispered, “Miss, Fu’er from Rongjing Hall sent a message.”
“How is it?” Shen Miao asked.
“Old Madam plans to execute the plan herself in two days.” Jingzhe said angrily, “Old Madam is really too evil. Master and Madam treat her so well, but she is actually scheming against Eldest Young Master. And that cousin of yours, I knew she’s not a good person all along. She’s really shameless!”
“Alright.” Gu Yu interrupted her. “Miss, what should we do now?”
