Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang walked behind them, and a trace of disdain flashed across their eyes at the same time. After all, she came from a small family and was extremely short-sighted. Temped by some jewelry, she was willing to be led by the nose. No wonder Shen Miao said that Jing Chuchu was nothing to be afraid of.

After the two of them left the mansion, they rode a carriage towards the center of the capital. Shen Qiu naturally allocated a group of guards to follow them, and the escort team was especially eye-catching. When they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, Shen Miao casually chose a few pieces of jewelry. On the other hand, Jing Chuchu touched this and touched that. The way she touched the jewelry lovingly made the shopkeeper look a little annoyed. To be honest, Jing Chuchu was born quite pretty, especially since the women of Suzhou were by nature different from the women of the capital. However, her behavior overshadowed her beauty. After all, having a pretty face was not all that mattered in the capital. Temperament and manners were equally important.

Seeing Jing Chuchu like this, Shen Miao was not stingy. She paid for the few things Jing Chuchu liked. Jing Chuchu felt that she was much closer to Shen Miao. When it was almost noon, Shen Miao said, “Let’s eat outside today. I’m a little hungry after. You’ve probably never been to the Pleasure Restaurant in the capital. Ordinary people don’t have this kind of chance to eat there.”

Jing Chuchu looked at the grand restaurant in front of her, her eyes filled with jealousy. Today when Shen Miao was shopping, she didn’t care about the price of the jewelry and fabric at all. Jing Chuchu had never seen someone so spendthrift. It was precisely because of this that she felt that the Shen family was rich and was more determined to marry to Shen Qiu.

When they sat down at a table by the window on the second floor, the waiter handed them the menu. Shen Miao ordered some signature dishes of the Pleasant Restaurant. After the waiter left, Shen Miao said to Jing Chuchu, “The people who come here to eat are either rich or noble. Many of them are high-ranking officials in the capital. We have to respect them.”

Jing Chuchu nodded repeatedly.

Shen Miao smiled faintly and picked up the tea to drink. However, her hand accidentally trembled, and the teacup fell on her body, splashing most of the tea on her dress. Jing Chuchu was shocked. “Fifth Sister?”

“It’s fine.” Shen Miao waved her hand and stood up. “There’s a place to change clothes here. There are still some clothes in the carriage. I’ll go and get changed now. Wait for me here.” With that, she called out to Bai Lu and Shuangjiang, “Let’s go.”

As soon as she left, the guards of the Shen family were about to leave too. Jing Chuchu quickly shouted, “Fifth Sister, these guards…” She was a little afraid to be left alone here.

“Don’t worry. No one will dare to do anything to you in broad daylight.” Shen Miao said, “Besides, the customers here are all people of status. They won’t pester you.” Her expression was gentle, but her tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Jing Chuchu subconsciously did not refute. When she came back to her senses, Shen Miao had already walked away with a group of guards.

Jing Chuchu’s expression darkened. Every time Shen Miao was in front of her, she would always put on a high and mighty air. This made Jing Chuchu clearly realize the difference between her and Shen Miao, which made her feel even more indignant. Moreover, she had heard from the people of the Shen family that Shen Miao used to be a stupid and ignorant idiot. What right did such a person who knew nothing about the Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting have to occupy the position of the first daughter of the Shen family? Shen Xin and his wife even doted on such a useless daughter. They let Shen Miao choose the things rewarded by His Majesty without hesitation. The more people compared, the more jealous they got. Now, Jing Chuchu looked at Shen Miao with jealousy to the point of madness.

‘She picked up the teacup in front of her and took small sips like Shen Miao just did, as if by doing so, she could be as noble as Shen Miao.

At this moment, a group of people walked past her and sat down at the table beside her. The person in the lead was a young man. He was born gentle and elegant, and he was dressed in luxurious clothes. Even the servants behind him were dressed in exquisite fabric.
