Chen Ruoqiu looked at her daughter and sighed. “You’re still too young and impulsive.” After a pause, Chen Ruoqiu continued, “You don’t have to think too highly of Shen Miao. Now that the first and second branches are in a deadlock, your second aunt will definitely get back at Shen Miao for offending your second aunt.”

When Shen Yue heard that, she looked at Chen Ruoqiu. “But after all these days, Second Aunt hasn’t managed to make Shen Miao suffer.”

Chen Ruoqiu was slightly stunned. Indeed, Ren Wanyun had been dealing with Shen Miao for a long time. However, after so long, not only did Ren Wanyun not gain anything, but she also made a lot of mistakes. It was strange that an experienced woman like Ren Wanyun would lose to a young girl like Shen Miao.

A moment later, Chen Ruoqiu shook off the thought and said, “It’s precisely because your second aunt has made her suffer that she will continue to try with all she can.”

Shen Yue seemed to have understood something and said, “In that case, let’s just sit back and watch the show.”

“That’s right.” Chen Ruoqiu said, “This is what I want to teach you. In the mansion, don’t make a move unless it’s necessary. If you can use something or someone to achieve your goal, don’t do it yourself. If you use it well, you can benefit from it without suffering loss.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Shen Yue sat up straight. “I understand.”

As they chatted happily, they did not know that Luo Xueyan’s carriage had already left them in the dust. As Shen Qiu and Shen Xin rode, the people who recognized them all looked at them with admiration.

In the carriage, Luo Xueyan kept looking at Shen Miao and smiling happily. Even though Shen Miao was calm, she was still puzzled by the smile on Luo Xueyan’s face.

“Jiaojiao is really good-looking now.” Luo Xueyan sighed and said, “After not seeing you for a year, you have grown into a big girl. I think no one in the capital is as good-looking as you.”

Luo Xueyan had always been a little domineering when she spoke. If others heard this, they would probably laugh at her. However, it was true that parents always found their children to be the best looking. In addition, Luo Xueyan was quite bad-tempered, but Shen Miao was calm and collected. People always liked things that they didn’t have. Naturally, Luo Xueyan loved her daughter even more.

Shen Miao smiled. Only her parents would be proud of her while others regarded her as an idiot.

“Last night, I discussed it with your father.” Luo Xueyan changed the topic and said, “What you said before about letting your father stay in the capital for another half a year is not a bad idea. Your father and I are not in the mansion all year round, so we have to spend more time with you. When His Majesty asks about it today, your father will make this request.”

Hearing that, Shen Miao couldn’t help but be stunned. She knew Shen Xin would listen to her in the end, but she didn’t expect him to do it so quickly. Before she could react, Luo Xueyan had already hugged her and smiled. “In this half a year, I can spend time with you and watch you grow up.”

Luo Xueyan was fierce in front of her enemies, but in front of Shen Miao, she was very amiable. If her former opponents saw her, they would probably be shocked.

“Thank you, Mom,” Shen Miao leaned against Luo Xueyan and said softly.
