When Shen Miao saw worries in his eyes, she sighed in her heart. She couldn’t tell Shen Qiu the truth. The people of the first branch of the Shen family were all kind and honest. If they found out that such a vicious thing was done by her, they would definitely feel painfully disappointed. She could only choose to lie to Shen Qiu. Shen Miao smiled and said, “I certainly don’t have that ability, and there is no need to suspect me. However, you don’t have to worry too much about what you’re worried about now.”
Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao and asked curiously, “Sister, why do you think so?”
“People in the world are not stupid. They won’t just believe some rumors on a blind faith. Without evidence, Eldest Sister won’t be convicted. Besides, what does it have anything to do with our first branch? Father and Mother are not in the capital all year round, so they naturally can’t be involved in anything conspiratorial. It’s not our place to worry about it at all. There will be someone ‘smart and capable’ to solve these problems for us.”
“A smart and capable person?” Shen Qiu was puzzled. “Who is that?”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Bai Lu say loudly, “Greetings, Second Young Master.”
“Speaking of the devil.” Shen Miao turned around and smiled. “Here comes the smart and capable person.”
Shen Qiu rolled his eyes and walked to the door to open it. Sure enough, he saw Shen Yuan standing at the door. Shen Yuan had always paid attention to his appearance. Now that he had probably been up all night long, he looked a little haggard. His gaze when he looked at Shen Miao and Shen Qiu was undisguisedly dark. He said, “Fifth Sister, I want to talk to you in private.”
“My sister has nothing to say to you.” Shen Qiu stood in front of Shen Miao and deliberately emphasized the words “my sister”.
“It’s fine, Brother.” Shen Miao said, “Coincidentally, I also have something to talk about with Second Brother.”
“Sister,” Shen Qiu said anxiously. Shen Miao patted Shen Qiu’s arm. “Don’t worry. If you’re worried, just guard the door.”
“Then I’ll guard the door,” Shen Qiu quickly said.
In the past, no matter how much Shen Qiu disliked Shen Yuan, he would at least be polite and pretend to be friendly. This time, when Shen Yuan came back, Shen Qiu had been blatantly hostile towards him.
“Fifth Sister, come in with me.” Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Qiu coldly. “Brother, please guard the door.” After saying that, he stepped into the house first.
Under everyone’s worried gazes, Shen Miao walked in.
The door slowly closed. Shen Miao turned around and heard Shen Yuan say with a dark expression, “You did it.”
His tone was very certain. Shen Miao smiled and said, “Second Brother, what are you talking about? The massacre that happened in Price Yu’s mansion or the rumors?”
“Aren’t you the one who did all that?” Shen Yuan sneered. “I’ve underestimated you.”
“I’m afraid Second Brother thinks too highly of me.” Shen Miao didn’t care. “I’m not that capable. How can I escape unscathed after doing such a thing?”
“Oh?” Shen Yuan sized her up and said, “Aren’t you having a very good time?”
