Shen Gui did not even removed his official uniforiven notice of Shen Qing's news and came over in a rush

When Ren Wan Yun saw hi-er…”

Ren Wan Yun's and Shen Gui's relationshi+p was not necessarily deep, else Shen Gui would not have filled the courtyards with concubines In spite of that, Shen Gui was still respectful to Ren Wan Yun, not because of anything else but because Ren Wan Yun was able to ood relationshi+ps with Shen Gui's colleagues' Furens As his other half, Shen Gui was rather satisfied with Ren Wan Yun so he gave her face and would not fall in comparison

“Shen Miao!” Shen Gui turned his head and looked at the young feht the three Di daughters to the Wo Long Tehters of the Shen residence out, was only to prevent others fro Who knew that the one that would be in trouble was his daughter Shen Qing The servant ent and trans was Shen Miao's doing Even though he felt that it was unfathoer on someone Since it was not possible to vent on the Second household, then all the crimes and responsibilities were pushed onto the First household

“You harmed your sisters with such evil means and since Eldest Brother is not here today, I will teach you well on behalf of Eldest Brother!” After he said that he loudly shouted, “Bring the rod!”

Bring the rod? Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan looked at one another Ever since Chen Rou Qiu entered the Shen family, she had never seen this Shen family's rod Fros that cos and have never been used on the descendants of the Shen residence

Moreover the Shen fae and the rod would naturally be unusual The servant quickly took out a long wooden box over as Shen Yue looked over curiously When that long wooden box was open and the thing inside was taken out in front of everyone, she could not help but to suck down a mouthful of cold air

It was a long whip and no one was sure what the as soaked in for so many years that it looked black and shi+ny Moreover it was as thick and coarse as a fully grownand powerful it was If one was to be beaten by that whip, one If one's was to use th then it would be easy for a life to be snuffed out

“Exactly” Old Shen Furen put back on an arrogant air Seeing that her son had returned, her back was evenwith sohter fallen to a ry in her heart Since Shen Gui had spoken, she naturally would push the boat with the current

“Fifth Girl had er brother will naturally teach her on behalf of one's Eldest Brother Our Shen fa will be given the rod Fifth Girl, you should rejoice for your Second Shu's good heart else it would not be as si the rod out If the faate, you will be expelled fro this, her eyes suddenly moved Yes If Shen Miao was expelled froood?

Seeing Old Shen Furen's expression, Chen Rou Qiu secretly scolded her a fool If Shen Miao was expelled from the Shen residence then with Shen Xin's personality, he would definitely leave together with the entire First household Even though they did not like seeing the First household well, there were many matters that required the name of the First household This old woinated frostress that could not be seen in public

Ren Wan Yun was also startled when she heard it as she had roughly guessed Old Shen Furen's hidden wish She however did not wished for Shen Miao to be expelled fro else but because this would be letting Shen Miao off too lightly She now could not wait to let Shen Miao remain in the Shen residence then there would be lots of tricks to use to take revenge on her Once she was expelled from the family, hoould it be easy?

But everyone had their own thoughts and when they heard Shen Miao's light cough, she was looking at Shen Gui

Shen Gui was shocked by her inexplicable move and looked at her with a frown He often put up on airs in the official circles and his official rank was not low If he was stared at by normal people, they would have been week in their knees as they see his anger

But Shen Miao did not htest move Her calm demeanour and undisturbed eyes even projected an illusion to Shen Gui As if Shen Miao was high above others and he was just a subordinate

This kind of illusion was broken by Shen Miao's words She said, “Second Shu indeed has a good heart Eldest Sister is bedridden and Second Shu was not in a rush to check on her condition, but was busy with teaching me on behalf offor me, even much more than for Eldest Sister”

When the words were out, everyone in the house fell silent

There was a flash of sarcasm in Chen Rou Qiu's eyes while Shen Wan frowned Old Shen Furen's facial expression changed and Shen Yue's mouth was opened, whereas Ren Wan Yun's head was lowered as she secretly clenched her fist tightly

If one were to talk about the three lected Shen Miao, he really truly loved her Shen Wan cherished Chen Rou Qiu and loved Shen Yue, as born from Chen Rou Qiu, like treasured stones And there was Shen Gui

Shen Gui was one who coveted wealth and lusted for women and probably had not done his role of a father The treat, his daughter, he had never disciplined her Most likely in Shen Gui's eyes, Shen Qing would be married into soive a boost to his power This ti fell into a mishap, and that was not because he was distressed that his daughter had a bitter experience, but because he resented that the plans were disrupted and feared that if Prince Yu were to know of the matter, he would be furious He was also furious that because of Shen Miao, he had wasted the possibility of using his daughter to gain power for his official route

It all boiled down to the word 'benefit'

If a father were to truly love his daughter, after knowing of the hter's condition and would not have rushed back in a hurry like this, to 'discipline' the person who initiated the entire thing So to say, one would feel so

A touch of aardness flashed on Shen Gui's face He could not help but be a little embarrassed to be found out by Shen Miao's words When he looked at Ren Wan Yun again, she had indeed turned her head and did not looked at him Shen Gui's heart was shocked and when he looked back at Shen Miao, he pondered One sentence was enough to ation was so accurate and ruthless Shen Qing was the one that Ren Wan Yun's cherished thethat could be exploited This made the couple who shared the hatred for the same enemy to be displeased with one another This approach of Shen Miao's was like from a wily old fox in the official circles

The young fe to the eyes, but one did not knohy there was a faint flash of majesty that made one dare to not watch intently

Suppressing his surprise in his heart, Shen Gui said, “Shen Miao, you still have not reflected upon yourself till now As such, if I do not teach you today, I would be ashamed to be a man and ashamed to face your father” He raised his hands to take the whip

Shen Yue stared fixedly at Shen Gui's actions with both rejoice in other's misfortune and some nervousness Would Shen Gui really beat her? Shen Miao was so overbearing that even facing such a scene she would still not admit to a loss

“Hoould Second Shu teach me? Use this whip to murder and silence this one? Or to beat half to death before sending to court” Shen Miao suddenly spoke

Shen Gui's action paused in surprise

Shen Wan was also stumped for words Probably they did not think that Shen Miao would be that hostile Even though Shen Miao had changed these days, but everyone felt that that was only a strong act, but now in front of everyone in Shen residence, she did not bother to cae herself and just shed all pretense of cordiality

“Evil girl, what kind of words are you saying!” Old Shen Furen was the first one who shouted angrily, “Is it possible that you are saying that your Second Shu wishes to ainst the Heavens!”

“Yes Fifth Lady, how could you say it like this” Chen Rou Qiu also finally spoke but still poured oil into the fire quietly, “You had harainst the victims Where were these learnt from?”

Chen Rou Qiu thought that if Shen Miao and the Second household fight till both sides suffer then her Shen Yue would truly be a fish back in water in this Shen residence After all in their Third household, Shen Wan's poas not comparable with the First household, heirs were less than the Second household so if one did not use some underhanded means, one would fear that there would not be any benefits in this huge Shen residence

Ren Wan Yun cried as she koed towards Old Shen Furen, “Look that this Fifth Lady hated us this ret and even want to dirty Master's reputation Such arrogance was clearly because she relied on Eldest Bo's power to bully us Could it be that this was learnt fro lady and hoould she understand this ht her to do so We have supported Eldest Bo, how could Eldest Bo's fa…”

Ren Wan Yun's cries were very dynamic as she put herself in a weak position On nor but at this moment her weak appearance would onlyshe said was true

Unfortunately, she involved Shen Xin

Dragons could reverse their scales and Shen Xin was the topic that would rub Shen Miao the wrong way

Her eyes swept across everyone at Rong Jing Tang They were all glaring like tigers watching its prey They were a fae black to white and turn death to living They surrounded her, like facing a piece of fatty ry wolf

But what is the use of having such glib tongues There were so reat reasoning but how many were left and how reenery?

“Second Shen kept saying that I have harmed Eldest Sister then one would like to ask a couple of questions to Second Shen Will Second Shen be able to clarify my doubts?”

Ren Wan Yun was surprised for a uilty conscience when shepeople, she put her heart down since all those ere standing were her side of people and hoould Shen Miao have the ability to reverse Heaven and earth?

“Question then” She wiped her tears

“Alright” Shen Miao's lips hooked, “I would like to ask, that day Second Shen was staying in the next door to Eldest Sister's roo were to happen, hoould Second Shen not able to hear it?”

Ren Wan Yun was stunned

“Alright” Shen Miao's lips hooked, “I would like to ask that day Second Shen was staying in the next door to Eldest Sister's roo were to happen, hoould Second Shen not able to hear it?”

Ren Wan Yun was stunned

“If Eldest Sister had resisted, there would bound to be noises Seeing that Eldest Sister's body was filled with injuries that day, it seeled for help, then why did Second Shen unable to hear it even so close? Could it be that Second Shen heard it but unable to come out to take a look as one was just too tired?”

“You…” Ren Wan Yun opened her mouth and wanted to refute as her palms were fille with cold sweat

“Of course, perhaps Second Shen did not hear the calls for help Why? Naturally because Eldest Sister did not call for help Why did Eldest Sister not call for help? Was it because she knew that evildoer?”

“You are spouting nonsense!” At this er tolerate and interrupted Shen Miao's words sharply

Shen Gui and Shen Wan were after all hts were not as meticulous as females and did not think much about the matters in the inner courtyards But Chen Rou Qiu and Ren Wan Yun almost immediately understood The former looked towards Shen Miao with eyes filled with surprise, while the latter's eyes filled with fear

Shen Miao's words actually scary Yes, that day Ren Wan Yun's and Shen Qing's roo were to call for help, how could one not hear it and if one heard it, then why did one did not go and take a look Could it be that Ren Wan Yun did it on purpose? Ren Wan Yun naturally would not deliberately harhter but the person as supposed to be staying there was Shen Miao Ren Wan Yun had not reason to harhter but it wasn't impossible for her to harhtforwardly, Ren Wan Yun's secret plans would not be able to cover up in front of others

And she also envisioned another possibility Shen Qing did not cry for help at all and as that so? To suffer that much abuse and yet not cry for help, it could be intentional Why would it be intentional? This matter, if one were to make it a smaller issue, it would be hu issue, perhaps one would even spread that Shen Qing deliberately co an illicit relationshi+p with others!

This world was already especially difficult for female and it was always better to be safe than sorry When rumours starts, it would be difficult to put it out

Shen Miao gently smiled, “Second Shen, I find that there are many doubts to the matter Since Second Shu is also reasonable and uphold justice, it would be better to send overnment office to hold an pen trial I would definitely inform the Daren what I know in its entirety and let Daren make a final decision and maybe that evildoer would also be known”

“No!” Ren Wan Yun and Shen Gui opened their ether

Ren Wan Yun said no as she naturally afraid that the issue would be complicated If Shen Miao were to speak thepeople would be able to pick up the secret There were ht if the matter was hidden well but if the rumours spread then its wasn't impossible that one would be able to see the truth of her sche her niece Moreover, once the truth co's innocence? When these ru herself with a bout of white silk

However Shen Gui said no was because of a directly opposite thought than Ren Wan Yun He was only afraid that the inally the 's identity was mixed up When Prince Yu know of the matter, he would definitely be furious and if he was implicated in the matter and infected by troubles, Shen Gui was afraid that his official route would be particularly difficult

As such, the , both stop Shen Miao's proposal in unison

“Then ould Second Shu do?” She Miao's eyes swept to the thick long whip that was in Shen Gui's hands and casually asked, “Still want to use the family rod?”

The people in the room quieten for the moment as Shen Yue stared incredibly at Shen Miao

Even Shen Yue could see that she was threatening!

As if to reflect the surprise in everyone's heart, Shen Miao softly laughed, “If Second Shu was to use the family's rod then there is no way out, but I have always had a stubborn temper and if I were to carry that evildoer's cri to me, when Father returns, then I would definitely think of a way to report to the government office”

She was i that if Shen Gui hit her today, in the future when Shen Xin returned, she would certainly coe Shen Xin to report to the government office One say it was to report the evildoer but ould knoho exactly she was reporting against at the end?

“Second Shu, are you bringing the rod out or not? If it was to be use, then please do it quicker” There was a light sht ridicule, “Since there are so many people around, I will not be able to escape from it”

Practically lu as bandit-like characters, anted to see Shen Miao suffer the beating

Shen Gui never had thought that he would be threatened by his own niece today after all he had been in the official circle for a long time and had the double-face ability to cope with any ht about any way out but it's that Shen Miao did not give hi It was Shen Miao as speaking in the beginning and as it went along, her words were as sharp as a spearhead and was so aggressive that one could not retreat at all

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Wan's eyes This Second Older Brother of his was a wily old fox in the official circles that even those political opponents had never pushed him to such an aard position Moreover the person that pushed hi female The First household… Was really that indestructible? Shen Wan's bright eyes turned cloudy

“You…” Shen Gui's face was getting soer as in his heart, Shen Miao was after all a niece that was easy to con and weak in character Even if she was to beaten and the rod was being used, in future with so, she would not dare to speak of today's e drastically and he had no idea that she had become a thorn in his head She not only not submit herself meekly to adversity and still attack hie

If he wasn't afraid of Shen Xin, Shen Gui really could not wait to kill Shen Miao now

The Old Shen Furen as sitting in the hall quietly saw that her son was forced into such a situation, she looked at Shen Miao with a trace of anger in her eyes After suppressing it down, she said deeply, “Enough!”

The hall fell into a silence again, Shen Gui sighed in relief and everyone looked towards Old Shen Furen

Old Shen Furen was ignorant with the Court's affairs and the outside world but was a good player in inner courtyard Shen Miao's words to both Shen Gui and his wife made her could not help but raise her eyebrows The more Shen Miao showed a wise side, the more her heart felt malicious It was because Shen Miao now held Shen Xin's reputation and could threaten Shen Gui's , Old Shen Furen dare not act rashly

She coldly said, “Fifth girl, what your Second Shu said was rational Taking into consideration of your young age, the rod can be forgotten but since Eldest girl was suffered in your stead, you will go and kneel in the ancestral hall to atone for the criainst your Eldest Sister As of today, you are confined and copy Buddhist scriptures in while kneeling in the ancestral hall Whenever Eldest girl recover, it would be when you are released”

That meant to kept Shen Miao lock up permanently
