Chapter 201: Trade (4)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Miao was the cause of her misery. Otherwise, with Ren Wanyun’s ability and viciousness, how could Concubine Wan, who was trampled by her, be so arrogant today?

“Mother.” Shen Qing, who was beside her, pulled her hand. These days, she had been treated with cold shoulders by everyone, and her arrogant personality had been bridled quite a lot. However, the hatred was still simmering inside her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t worry, bear with it. After marrying Prince Yu, no matter what it takes, even if it’s my life, I will make Prince Yu punish Shen Miao. I will definitely not let her off easy.”

Because Shen Qing was already pregnant, the empress set the wedding date next month. In such a short time, Ren Wanyun really couldn’t help her daughter. She had no choice but to watch Shen Qing jump into the fire pit.

“Qing, don’t be afraid.” Ren Wanyun said, “Your brother will be back soon. Yuan is the smartest. When he comes back, he will definitely think of a way to ruin that little b*tch’s reputation.” Shen Yuan would also rush back to attend Shen Qing’s wedding. Now that she was alone and helpless, if not for the fact she had a son, Shen Yuanbai, who was adored by Old Madam Shen, that old woman would probably not help her either.

When Shen Miao returned to the West Courtyard, she was surprised to see Shen Qiu waiting for her there. Seeing that she was back, Shen Qiu heaved a sigh of relief and sized her up. “Why were you gone for so long? I thought something happened to you.”

“It’s broad daylight. Anyone who makes a move to harm me will be a fool.” Shen Miao handed him the snacks. “I bought these on my way back. Here.”

Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment before taking it. When he returned this time, he found Shen Miao changed a lot in terms of her attitude towards him.

“Why aren’t Father and Mother around?” Shen Miao asked.

“They’ve been busy socializing with their fellow officials.” Shen Qiu looked around and said quietly, “Sister, you weren’t around this morning. Father has been at loggerheads with Second Uncle and Third Uncle these few days. Just now, Old Madam summoned Father and reprimanded him.”

“Father is at loggerheads with Second Uncle and Third Uncle?”

Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao’s expression and thought for a moment before saying, “Sister, you also know that because of what happened in the ancestral hall, Father and Mother are a little unhappy with Second Uncle and Third Uncle. Naturally, they don’t want to talk to them. Old Madam was probably worried that her own sons wouldn’t be supported by Father anymore, so she reprimanded Father.” At this point, Shen Qiu couldn’t help but look indignant. “Old Madam is too biased. What did Father do wrong? Second Uncle and Third Uncle were the ones who failed to fulfill what they promised about taking good care of you while we are away. I’m furious already, let alone Father.”

Shen Qiu did not call her “Grandmother” but “Old Madam”. Clearly, he had a grudge against Old Madam Shen too.

After saying that, Shen Qiu couldn’t help but observe Shen Miao’s expression. Shen Miao had been raised by Old Madam Shen all these years. In the past, Shen Miao was always very respectful to Old Madam Shen, so he wasn’t sure if what he said would make Shen Miao flare up and speak up for Old Madam Shen.

“There’s a difference between family and friends. In the end, Father isn’t her son,” Shen Miao said indifferently. “Of course she’ll be biased.”

“Ha.” Shen Qiu was happy that he had found someone like-minded. “That’s right. Father is filial to her for the sake of Grandfather. He has done enough for so many years, but she actually accused Father of being unfilial…”

“It’s not just because of Second Uncle and Third Uncle that she reprimanded Father.” Shen Miao said, “I’m afraid it’s also because Father didn’t hand over the money rewarded by His Majesty this time.” Old Madam Shen loved money as much as her life. This time, because Shen Xin was so angry, he kept the money to himself. As time passed, Old Madam Shen naturally couldn’t sit still anymore and came to find trouble.

“That’s really…” Shen Qiu seemed to want to say something, but he felt that it was not good to say that in front of his sister. He swallowed it and said something else, “So what? The money belongs to Father, so he can give it to whoever he wants.”
