The noisy front hall instantly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes landed on the purple figure behind Luo Xueyan.

The girl’s cloak had been taken off, and she was wearing a purple dress with complicated patterns, accentuating her slender figure. She raised her chin slightly and looked straight ahead, as if the many noble ladies here were not worthy of her attention. Her skin was fair and even a little translucent, making her eyebrows look even more delicate. However, that pair of bright black eyes was the most attractive. Her eyes were round and clear. At first glance, she looked as pure as a newborn beast, but she was so calm that it was as if she was a woman of the world. This kind of vicissitude and immaturity made her look paradoxically beautiful.

She followed Luo Xueyan into the hall step by step. Unlike Luo Xueyan’s agile movements, the girl’s hands were placed in front of her, but it did not make her look stiff. It was as if she had done that action thousands of times and was familiar with it. Her long dress fluttered slightly with her footsteps, like a blooming flower. However, the flower was in full bloom and was not ostentatious, just like her. Her movements were very natural, and every step she took was very graceful. It was pleasing to the eye and gave off a faint dignity. The women present were all from noble families, so they had naturally been taught etiquettes in the strictest possible way. They thought that they had done a good job here, but they could not help but be surprised when they saw this girl. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to walk in such a graceful and collected manner.

Sometimes, the way could be imitated, but the expression could not. The purple-clothed girl’s expression was calm, and her posture was composed, as if she was walking in her own backyard. She was not flustered, impulsive, or timid. As she walked calmly, it gave people the impression that she was looking down on all living beings.

It was as if she was the owner of this palace.

When this thought flashed across their minds, the women couldn’t help but turn pale with fright. They wouldn’t be so surprised if this girl was someone else, but she was that idiot, Shen Miao!

Everyone had seen the change in Shen Miao at the test previously, but ever since then, Shen Miao and Shen Qing both said that they were sick and stayed in the mansion. They didn’t even go to Guangwen Hall anymore. Although she defeated Cai Lin at the test, she only displayed ferocity and courage. However, her etiquette and bearing were not something that could be achieved overnight. Unexpectedly, when they saw her today, they felt that Shen Miao was like a different person from before. Not only was her dress and demeanor not wrong, but everyone even felt that Shen Miao was better than the daughters of officials in the hall!

Shen Miao followed behind Luo Xueyan. No one saw the bitter smile on her lips.

She finally returned to this place. She wanted to see if this place could still trap her in this life!

Every brick and tile here was deeply engraved in her memory. Even with her eyes closed, she could still find the way. As for the complicated palace rules and etiquette, they were almost engraved in her bones. In this hall, when she closed her eyes, she could seem to see Wanyu smiling at her and asking her for pastries to eat and hear Fu Ming reading the book out loud. Love and hate were both important. Bitterness and sweetness were mixed. When she stepped into this place again, she had mixed feelings, but what burned in her heart was the flame of revenge!

Lizi looked at the purple-clothed girl walking behind the valiant woman in a daze and was shocked. Just now, he heard from the palace maid in the garden that Shen Xin’s daughter was a vulgar idiot, but now that he saw her, he realized that it was not the case at all. This girl had a noble aura around her. How could she be an idiot?
