Shen Miao sighed in her heart. Shen Qiu had an almost youthful naivety and this naivety made his temperament very valuable. Sincere and full of vitality, it was hard to imagine that such a person would end up drowning in the pond. At the beginning people said that Shen Qiu committed suicide because of his notoriety but now thinking about it, with Shen Qiu's perseverance, how could he commit suicide because of other people's pointing fingers. As for the initiator, her so called Sister-in-law, she used the excuse of climbing into the bed to force Shen Qiu to marry her but now it seemed that it might be someone else's conspiracy.
"Why does Younger Sister keep staring at me?" Shen Qiu was baffled, "Is there something on my face?" He felt that the current Shen Miao was strange. The Shen Miao who did not throw her temper and was not cold made Shen Qiu feel unfamiliar, as if he was not facing a young lady.
"Why did Eldest Brother not go to the Palace today?" Shen Miao asked softly.
"His Majesty only summoned Father and Mother." Shen Qiu smiled, "Naturally I will not follow. Younger Sister, you still have not told me what happened yesterday. How did you get trapped in the ancestral hall's fire? "
His mind was preoccupied with this matter and was also concerned about Shen Miao's injury, so he had to clarify the ins and outs of the matter.
"Will Eldest Brother believe what I say?" Shen Miao smiled gently, "If you will not believe even if I say it, then there is no need to say it."
"Why would I not believe?" When Shen Qiu heard this, he quickly grabbed Shen Miao's arm, "You are my Younger Sister. If I do not believe your words, who else would I believe?"
"I can tell Eldest Brother about this matter but Eldest Brother must promise me one thing. Do not tell Father and Mother about what I told you today. If it is said, I will no longer care about you."
"Why not tell Father and Mother?" Shen Qiu was somewhat puzzled before suddenly realizing, "Could it be that this matter is related to His Highness Prince Ding?" The letter that the Northwest received from the Ding capital also mentioned that Shen Miao had a special liking for Fu Xiu Yi. But Shen Miao was after all an unmarried female and did not know that the Princes were fighting for the heir apparent. It was best for the officials not to interfere as the earlier they interfered, the earlier they would die. Shen Miao however was unswerving towards Fu Xiu Yi. Shen Xin and the rest were far away in the Northwest. Even though they were anxious, they were helpless and could only hope that Shen Miao would be able to think it through and no longer love Fu Xiu Yi.
"It has nothing to do with him." Shen Miao did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Before you all returned, Second Shen brought our Shen family's three Di young ladies to Wo Long Temple to offer incense. That day I exchanged rooms with Eldest Sister and Eldest Sister's innocence was tainted by an evil person. Second Shen's family thought that Eldest Sister suffered for me and I was the initiator. I did not admit my mistake and punished me to copy Buddhist scriptures."
When Shen Qiu heard this, his heart broke out in cold sweat, thinking that it was a close shave. The one who almost got into an accident was not Shen Qing but Shen Miao. When he heard it, he was extremely angry. What did this matter have to do with Shen Miao? Why was Shen Miao grounded?
"This is clearly sophistry!" Shen Qiu said angrily. He did not have any good impression of Shen Qing, but because Shen Qing relied on Shen Yuan as her elder brother, she often did not put Shen Qiu in her eyes, and even ridiculed Shen Qiu as a martial man who did not know anything about literature.
"Not only that." Shen Miao continued, "Coincidentally, the Assistant Minister of the Secretariat, the Wei family came to the residence to propose marriage. The one they picked was me. The Huang family of the Junior Residence Supervisor also came to propose and picked Eldest Sister."
Shen Qiu was stunned, "Propose marriage?" They had received letters from the Shen family but there was no mention of Shen Miao's marriage. Wasn't this too absurd? How could there be a child's marriage that the parents didn't inform them? The Shen family's actions were really too much.
"The Wei family's young master, Wei Qian, is a young and talented man, while the Huang family's young master, Huang De Xing, is a homosexual. Second Aunt wanted to swap me and Eldest Sister's marriage. When I found out about this, I could only say that I didn't want to marry. If I did get engaged, I would run away from the marriage. As a result, they locked me in the ancestral hall. The guards you saw yesterday were not there to put out the fire. They were there to guard me, to prevent me from escaping. "
