At that time, Shen Miao was already married to Fu Xiu Yi and it was the crucial time for the fight for the throne. When she heard the grievous news, she rushed back to the residence and saw Shen Qiu's deformed and swollen body.
Even if she was not close to Shen Qiu, but after all they had the same blood flowing in them. She was in pain because of this and fell seriously ill, but Fu Xiu Yi let Shen Xin go out to battle at that time.
That cold winter sun, the wet body outside the pond, Shen Qiu's deformed and pale face, and the youth's fawning smile in front of her, was like a sharp sword that pierced her until she could not breathe.
Shen Miao suddenly bent down and clutched her chest as she gasped for air.
"Younger Sister!" Shen Qiu jumped in shock and helped her up before shouting outside, "Go and call a physician! Quickly! Younger Sister's body is not well! "
A hand grabbed Shen Qiu's arm and he turned his head back to see Shen Miao grabbing his hand as she stood up and said, "No need. It is just that I am a little weak."
"Younger Sister's body is still not well. It is better to call a physician over to take a look." Shen Qiu shook his head and his tone was filled with concern.
"I am fine." Shen Miao said to the hesitating Jing Zhe, "All of you can withdraw."
Her tone was firm and calm, which made Shen Qiu stunned for a moment.
"Younger Sister, what happened to you?" Shen Qiu asked. When the words came out, he was somewhat vexed that his words were too heavy. He usually faced those iron-blooded men in the army and had forgotten to be gentle towards young ladies. Thus he slowed down his voice and said, "Father and Mother were frightened when they saw you trapped in the fire yesterday. Younger Sister, why are you in the ancestral hall? Are you locked up?"
Shen Miao however shook her head and looked at him with a smile, "One year of not seeing, is Eldest Brother well?"
"Ah?" Shen Qiu was a simple-minded person and scratched his head when he heard that, "I am still alright. The army is like that and have made a few small contributions. Wait for His Majesty to bestow the rewards, then Younger Sister can pick what you like." After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and happily said, "Oh right, Father had hunted a fire rat and skinned it to make a cloak. Later I will get the servants to bring it over for you. That cloak is impervious to swords and spears, water and fire. If you had that cloak, you wouldn't have been burned yesterday … "
Before the words were finished, Shen Qiu froze. Shen Miao went forward and wrapped her hands around Shen Qiu's arms and rested her head on his chest.
Even if they were biological siblings, they were not children after all. Shen Qiu felt a little awkward for a moment, but also a little happy. Shen Miao had not been this close to him for a long time and was somewhat overwhelmed by the favour. Just as he was somewhat happy, his heart sank. Thinking of Shen Miao's temperament, for her to be so close to him for the first time today, could it be that she had suffered a huge grievance?
He hurriedly asked, "Sister, did someone bully you? If someone did, just tell me. I'll beat him half to death …"
He spoke with righteous indignation but Shen Miao wanted to laugh. Mei Furen had an Older Brother who was extremely intelligent and had given advice to Fu Xiu Yi in the previous court. Fu Xiu Yi then doted on Mei Furen and it was not without her Older Brother's credit. Shen Miao herself was also envious but at that time, Shen Qiu was already dead.
It seemed that she had not tasted the feeling of having a backer for a very long time. She was used to fighting alone and dividing herself into numerous people, so she was defeated by Mei Furen's hands in her previous life, perhaps it was because she was alone.
Now that there was someone protecting her, it was so beautiful that it was almost unreal.
She slowly let go of her hands and raised her head to meet Shen Qiu's concerned gaze.
"Younger Sister …" Shen Qiu was also startled. The young female in front of him had bright eyes and when she faced him, there was no longer the impatience and annoyance in her eyes and what replaced it was a kind of profoundness. That kind of feeling was somewhat unfamiliar to him as he carefully sized up the young female in front of him. After not seeing her for a year, Shen Miao had lost a lot of weight and the originally somewhat round face had now revealed a sharp chin, making her look much more delicate. Her delicate facial features became more and more clear. That kind of naive tenderness had disappeared without a trace and when she looked at him, there was a faint gratification and a kind of unknown loneliness.
