"Can't you see? I am using my own life to bet on a future. "
In the fire, Shen Miao's eyes were even brighter than the burning flames but the determination in them was like a rock and could not be shaken.
"What is the use of a future if one is dead?" Xie Jing Xing said in a stern voice, "It is too risky."
Shen Miao laughed and looked at him as she said sarcastically, "I am different from Little Marquis. Little Marquis's hands and eyes are all over the Heavens and one would not need to spend much effort to obtain anything. I am different. If I do not fight with my life, the outcome would be worse than death. I am not even afraid of death so why would I be afraid of fire? "She paused," You can leave. "
Xie Jing Xing frowned as he looked at her and a look of deep thought flashed in his pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. He was not a good person and did not want to put on a show of helping. Just now it was an accident and now that he had recovered to his senses, he was somewhat laughing at himself for not being able to keep his composure. Thinking about this, Xie Jing Xing hugged his chest and leapt onto the beam that was not on fire and said with interest, "I forgot that you are an intelligent person of the Shen family and of course have the ability to escape unscathed. But this Marquis also want to see what kind of ability do you have?"
His purple robe actually showed some flowing gold in the firelight, and what was even more dazzling than his robe was the smile at the corner of his lips. The youth's expression was arrogant, and his features were as beautiful as a painting. When he looked at him like this, he looked like the passionate young master in the opera. However, his eyes revealed a coldness and cruelty, causing his frivolous appearance to become a bit colder.
At the banquet in the Eastern courtyard, after hearing that Shen Xin and wife had returned to the residence, Ren Wan Yun panicked. Her heart still held onto a trace of hope and thought that it must be some mischievous servant who said that. But before she could think of any good ideas, she saw the servants outside leading a group of travel-worn people in. The leader laughed loudly from afar, "Mother, this son has returned to the capital to congratulate you on your birthday! Mother, please forgive me for coming late! "
Everyone's eyes looked towards that group of people. The bearded man and shrewish beautiful woman at the front were Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan and the youth with a warm smile behind them was Shen Qiu.
If it was in the past, there would be cheers and laughter at this moment. With Ren Wan Yun's ability to socialize, she would be able to coax Shen Xin and wife to be happy. But today's matter happened suddenly and it did not happen earlier or later but it happened when Shen Xin returned to the residence. Shen Miao was still trapped in the ancestral hall and Ren Wan Yun did not know what to do for a moment and could only stand there foolishly.
Old Shen Furen was even more so. She did not have any ideas and only knew how to put on airs in the inner courtyard. Even when dealing with Shen Miao, she would use some underhanded methods. In front of so many people, she couldn't even pretend to be flustered.
Chen Rou Qiu's heart was somewhat anxious. Even though she also wanted the Second household and First household to suffer together, but now she was also at this banquet. If Shen Xin did not return today and Shen Miao died in the fire, then it would be fine as there was no evidence and they could say whatever they want. But if Shen Xin returned, he would have eyes and anyone with discerning eyes would be able to see what was going on. What should she do?
Shen Qing and Shen Yue were somewhat afraid of this Eldest Brother-in-law of theirs. Because Shen Xin was after all a military general, he would always have a murderous and sharp aura. They, these delicate young ladies, would always feel fearful for no reason and when they saw their Mother's fearful look, they were even more at a loss.
Shen Gui and Shen Wan looked at each other and both of their eyes were very dignified. For so many years, they had concealed it well so there were no mistakes and had never seen this Eldest Brother of theirs getting angry. But if something really happened to Shen Miao today, what would Shen Xin do? Just thinking about it made them shudder.
