Chapter 324: Scandal (6)

“I also think there’s something fishy about this matter.” Shen Miao raised an eyebrow. “So let’s report it to the government. Father, your subordinates are efficient. Tell them to invite the capital magistrate over.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Gui shouted, “No!”
Shen Miao was surprised. “Why not?”
Shen Gui looked at her fiercely. Once this matter was reported to the government, it would soon be made public. Moreover, it was a scandal after all. What good would it do to make it known to everyone?
“Forget it.” Shen Miao waved her hand, feeling a headache coming on. “We have to listen to what Cousin has got to say.” She looked at Jing Guansheng, who had a dark expression, and smiled. “Cousin, you’re the one who feels the most pain, right?”
Jing Guansheng did not speak.
Old Madam Shen said angrily, “Fetch a doctor first!” Jing Chuchu and Shen Yuan had not moved all this while, so Old Madam Shen was afraid that they had been drugged. It had to be known that everything that happened today was supposed to be done against Shen Qiu, but now it was Shen Yuan who suffered, but she could not even say a word about it.
Those madams and young ladies had watched enough and knew that today was just a battle between Shen Miao and the rest of the Shen family. However, in the end, Shen Miao won. They promised not to tell anyone and then bade farewell. Feng Anning winked at Shen Miao and left with Madam Feng. Shen Yue looked at the messy courtyard and was quite disappointed.
They were just a step away from destroying Shen Qiu. Why did Shen Yuan end up being the one destroyed?
Shen Xin and the others also followed Old Madam Shen to the main hall. They had to find a way to deal with this matter. In addition, this matter concerned the reputation of the Shen family, so it couldn’t be dealt lightly and casually.
Shen Miao was walking in the back when someone suddenly called her. She turned around and saw Jing Guansheng walking up to her.
Shen Miao was small, and Jing Guan was slightly plump and tall. Standing in front of Shen Miao, he looked quite oppressive. The usual smile on his usually gentle face was gone, and there was only a fierce and gloomy expression. He said, “Fifth Sister, did you do this?”
“Yes,” Shen Miao admitted readily.
Jing Guansheng was stunned for a moment before raising his fist at Shen Miao angrily. Jingzhe and Gu Yu quickly blocked him. Shen Miao looked at him coldly. “I did it. What can you do to me?”
“You’re shameless!” Jing Guansheng roared.
“Am I the shameless one?” Shen Miao looked at him. “Cousin, are you telling me you were unaware of the matter beforehand?”
Jing Guansheng was stunned and glared at her. As Jing Chuchu’s brother, how could Jing Guansheng not know what Old Madam Shen was up to? Letting Jing Chuchu become Shen Qiu’s wife would also be beneficial to him, but in the end, it became Shen Yuan!
“You made your sister a bargaining chip, but now you’re saying that I’m shameless. Cousin, don’t you think you’re too disgusting?” Shen Miao said with a gentle smile.
“You!”
“Cousin, this matter is already a done deal.” Shen Miao looked at him calmly. “Cousin has already lost her virginity. It will be very difficult for her to marry into a good family in the future.”
Jing Guansheng clenched his fists, but he had to admit that Shen Miao was right. If Jing Chuchu became like this, no good family would be willing to accept her in the future, let alone a rich family.
“Cousin, since we’re cousins, I’ll remind you.” Shen Miao smiled kindly. “Actually, as long as Chuchu can marry Shen Yuan, it will still be a good match. What difference does it make whether she marries Shen Qiu or Shen Yuan?”
Jing Guansheng looked at Shen Miao without saying anything.
“Speaking of which, Shen Yuan is a promising young official and has a bright future ahead of him. Compared to Shen Yuan, he might be more outstanding. Since you’re thinking of using your sister to exchange for a better future and the person on the bed has become Shen Yuan, why don’t you just go with the flow? Anyway, it won’t do you any harm.”
She looked at her nails and said as if to no one in particular, “You have to be flexible when it comes to doing things.”
