He took a deep breath and stared at the person walking over.

Shen Miao and her two maids walked over from the garden. Over the past few days, she had been staying in the west courtyard and did not go out. She looked much more refreshed.

Seeing Shen Yuan, she stopped in her tracks and said, Second Brother.

Shen Yuan clenched his fists uncontrollably. He naturally knew that the only person in the Shen family who was capable of setting him up was Shen Miao. However, back then, the scheme was executed by the people instructed by Old Madam, so he could not interfere. Moreover, what was more important now was to appease those difficult people in the Jing family so that they wouldn't cause trouble.

However, at the thought that it was all thanks to the girl in front of him that he ended up in such a sorry state, Shen Yuan wanted to strangle Shen Miao to death.

Seeing that Shen Yuan did not speak, Shen Miao smiled. Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you yet on engaging Cousin. Congratulations, Second Brother, on marrying a beauty.

Everyone could hear the mockery in her words.

Shen Yuan said coldly, Thank you, Fifth Sister. After a pause, he looked at Shen Miao. Fifth Sister, you're really capable.

Shen Miao took the compliment. Every time she looked happy and gloating, it made people go crazy. Shen Yuan sneered. Fifth Sister, the tallest tree in the forest will be cut down first. It's better for you to understand this as soon as possible.

I've never wanted to be the tallest tree. Everyone knows that I'm an idiot. Shen Miao pondered for a moment. On the other hand, Second Brother has always been outstanding. I'm probably not the one who needs to be anxious.

Is that so? Shen Yuan slowly asked, Fifth Sister, do you think you've already won? Do you think that I'll lose if I marry Jing Chuchu?

Of course not. Shen Miao was very humble. I know Second Brother has always been tenacious and indomitable. It's still far from the end of the game.

Maybe it's not as far as you think. Shen Yuan suddenly smiled strangely. It might be over soon. This strange smile made him look especially sinister. Jingzhe and Gu Yu both frowned, but Shen Miao raised her eyebrows and asked, Second Brother, are you plotting against me again?

Are you afraid?

Shen Miao nodded. I'm not afraid of being schemed against. I'm just afraid that others won't scheme against me. Her eyes were clear and as innocent as a child's. She smiled and said, If others don't scheme against me, how can I have a chance to beat them in their own games?

Then wait and see. Shen Yuan sneered. I'm afraid you won't smile so happily when that day comes. With that, he strode away.

After he left, the smile on Shen Miao's face disappeared completely. When Jingzhe and Gu Yu saw this, they were shocked. Gu Yu asked, Miss, is Second Young Master planning something?

Shen Miao shook her head. Shen Yuan was the kind of person who would not bluff unless he was confident. A trace of uneasiness rose in Shen Miao's heart but she suppressed it immediately. She looked at Shen Yuan's back and said softly, It's about time to end this game.

In the Treasure Fragrance Chamber in the capital, there was singing and dancing, and the fragrance of women accompanied by laughter was like the best aphrodisiac, causing the passers-by to look inside with envy. However, their pockets were too empty to allow them a night with the girls.

In the tearoom, the tea in front of the table had long turned cold. Mo Qing nodded off and almost knocked over the teapot, startling him so much that his sleepiness immediately disappeared. He raised his toes and the teapot that fell to the ground landed steadily on his boots. He picked it up and placed it back on the table.
