Ren Wanyun lowered her head and looked at the paper bag in Shen Miao’s hand. She could not help but tremble.
“It’s not a good idea to drug concubines. Even if one can’t give birth to a son, there will be a second one. Second Aunt, you have to find a solution that can work once and for all.”
“Why should I trust you? Who knows if it’s poison or not?” Ren Wanyun said disdainfully.
“Second Aunt, if you don’t believe me, you can naturally get the maids to bring it to ask the doctor or find an animal to test. In any way, you can just throw it away and buy it yourself. I’m just pointing the way out for you.”
“Why should I do that?” Ren Wanyun stared at Shen Miao and said coldly.
“Why?” Shen Miao thought for a moment. “It’s probably because if Second Uncle is sterile, Seventh Brother will be able to hold firmly onto the inheritance right. Not only that, as Second Uncle’s only successor, Seventh Brother will definitely be favored by Second Uncle. The rarer something is, the more precious it is.”
Ren Wanyun smiled. “Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Shen Miao, I underestimated you. You want the second branch to have no descendants!”
“You can’t put it that way.” Shen Miao pretended to be surprised. “Don’t you still have a son? The second branch will have at least one descendant. Second Aunt, you are not telling me you want to have another child with Second Uncle in the future, are you?” She teased, “Even if you want, I don’t think Second Uncle is willing to do it.”
“How dare you!” Xianglan shouted angrily!
“You’re shameless!” Ren Wanyun was so angry that her face was red. Shen Miao was clearly mocking her for being old. However, Ren Wanyun also understood that after so many years, Shen Gui indeed had lost all interest in her. It was very difficult for her to have another child with him. Shen Miao smiled. “I’ve already given Second Aunt a way out. It depends on what you choose.” She stood up and seemed to have thought of something. She tilted her head and said, “Of course, Second Aunt can also choose to tell Second Uncle about this, but I have to remind you that now that my parents and Old Madam have already fallen out, we’re not afraid of anything.”
Ren Wanyun sat there without saying anything. Xianglan and Caiju stared at Shen Miao warily.
“That’s all I have to say. Goodbye.” Shen Miao smiled and walked out.
After Shen Miao left, Xianglan took a step forward and asked Ren Wanyun, “Madam, do you really want to listen to Fifth Miss?”
“Fifth Miss must be up to no good.” Caiju said, “She’s clearly going against Master.”
“She is going against Master.” Ren Wanyun said in a low voice, “But now, Master and I are no longer on the same boat.”
“Madam, you mean…” Xianglan widened her eyes.
Ren Wanyun lowered her head and said, “I’ll think about it.”
In the east courtyard, there were naturally people paying attention to every move Shen Miao made. As soon as Shen Miao and Jingzhe left, they saw an unfamiliar maid walk over with a smile and say, “Fifth Miss, Concubine Wan heard that you came to the courtyard and wants to invite you in to talk.”
“I still have something to do. I’ll drop in on her another day.” Shen Miao rejected without hesitation. The maid was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch as Shen Miao and the others walked away.
