Chapter 99: Unharmed (2)

Shen Gui was shocked by her strange actions and glared at her. If an ordinary person was glared at by him like that, they would be terrified.
However, Shen Miao did not back off at all. Her expression was calm, making Shen Gui feel that he was the one being looked down at.
Shen Miao said, “Second Uncle is indeed kind-hearted. When First Sister was sick in bed, Second Uncle was in no hurry to check on her condition. Instead, you rushed over to help my father teach me a lesson. I guess Second Uncle loves me more than his daughter.”
As soon as she said that, everyone in the room fell silent.
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Chen Ruoqiu’s eyes, and Shen Wan frowned. Old Madam Shen’s expression changed, and Shen Yue opened her mouth. Ren Wanyun lowered her head and secretly clenched her fists.
Although Shen Xin wasn’t there with his daughter all year round, he still truly loved her. Shen Wanzhen loved Chen Ruoqiu, and he also loved Shen Yue like a treasure. However, Shen Gui…
Shen Gui was a greedy and lecherous person to begin with. He never fulfilled his responsibility as a father. He treated his two sons better, but he did not care about his daughter, Shen Qing. In Shen Gui’s eyes, it was probably best for Shen Qing to marry into a rich family in the future. The reason why Shen Gui was so angry this time was probably not because he was sad about his daughter’s tragic fate, but because his plan was ruined. He was afraid that Prince Yu would be angry when he found out, and he was also angry that his daughter couldn’t marry well anymore and bring him benefits.
It was always about benefits.
If a father who truly loved his daughter knew about this, he would definitely go back to see her first. How could he come back just to “discipline”. Suddenly, Shen Qing became the one people felt sorry about.
An awkward expression flashed across Shen Gui’s face. He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He looked at Ren Wanyun again. As expected, she had already turned her head away from him. Shen Gui was a little surprised. When he looked at Shen Miao again, his gaze was deep. Shen Miao’s words were sharp, making the couple fall out with each other. Shen Qing was Ren Wanyun’s life, but she was just a tool to Shen Gui. This revelation made the husband and wife, who were originally on the same side, unhappy with each other. Shen Miao’s method was clearly like that of an experienced official in the bureaucracy.
The girl in front of him had a delicate face and looked extremely obedient. However, for some reason, she seemed so magistic that people found her too dazzling to look at.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Shen Gui said angrily, “Shen Miao, you still don’t admit your mistake. In that case, if I don’t teach you well today, I’ll be ashamed to be your uncle.” He reached out to take the whip.
Shen Yue stared at Shen Gui. She was both gloating and nervous. Would Shen Gui really whip Shen Miao?
“Second Uncle, how do you want to teach me? Kill me with this whip?” Shen Miao suddenly asked.
Shen Gui was stunned.
Shen Wan was also stunned. She probably didn’t expect Shen Miao to be so vicious. Although Shen Miao had changed over the past few days, everyone had always felt that she was just pretending to be tough. But now, in front of the entire Shen family, she didn’t even want to pretend and didn’t care about falling out with everyone at all.
“You wicked girl, what are you talking about!” Old Madam Shen was the first to shout angrily, “Are you going to say that your second uncle wants to murder you? This is outrageous!”
