Shen Miao's gaze did not even land on Jing Guan Sheng. She stared at Jing Chu Chu but could hear the sound of her teeth grinding.
Jing Chu Chu was always like this, shy and bashful. She had no schemes and would always lower her head timidly, as if anyone could bully her. So when the incident happened, when they saw her and Shen Qiu lying on the same bed after drinking, everyone would insult Shen Qiu for being worse than a beast. Who would have thought that this young lady who was as pure as a piece of white paper would at the end put on a green hat for Shen Qiu and because she accidentally killed her adulterer, Shen Qiu was sent to prison. Those military matters that often went wrong after marrying in and Shen Qiu's broken leg from the horse, most likely all had something to do with Jing Chu Chu. And at the very end, Shen Qiu's body was found in the pond and Jing Chu Chu ran away with the money of the First household of the Shen family.
A woman's heart was the most poisonous. Shen Miao felt that this face that was as gentle as a rabbit was more poisonous than a snake. After all even though Shen Qiu did not like it, he still treated Jing Chu Chu sincerely after marrying her and with Shen Qiu's sincere temperament, he would definitely not let Jing Chu Chu suffer.
But Jing Chu Chu was an out and out white-eyed wolf.
Shen Miao kept staring at Jing Chu Chu and even with Shen Qiu's careless heart, he also sensed that something was wrong and asked in puzzlement, "Younger Sister?"
Jing Guan Sheng also said, "Why is Fifth Younger Sister staring at Chu Chu?"
Jing Chu Chu took a step back and somewhat nervously turned her body sideways to let Jing Guan Sheng block Shen Miao's gaze, as if she was very afraid. Shen Miao smiled gently, "Biao Older Sister is really too beautiful. One was not careful and looked too much."
Shen Yue bit her lips. Now that Shen Miao's appearance was getting older, she had already taken away a lot of her limelight and now there was an additional Jing Chu Chu, making her heart extremely uncomfortable.
Jing Chu Chu's face turned red and whispered to Shen Miao, "Younger Sister is the one who is beautiful."
Shen Miao smiled and declined to comment.
Old Shen Furen coughed twice and said, "Since Chu Chu and Guan Sheng have arrived, they are guests of our residence and are all one family. Fifth Girl, Eldest Brother, bring them around more on normal days."
There was obviously Shen Yuan and Shen Yue, and at the very least there was Shen Dong Ling. It was not like the Shen residence only had Shen Miao and Shen Qiu, these two grandsons, but he came over to warn them. Shen Miao's lips slightly hooked up and looked at Jing Chu Chu who had her head lowered and smiled warmly, "Naturally I will take good care of Older Sister."
She usually had a delicate appearance but in this room of females, there was a kind of unruffled bearing and that unhurried smile that bloomed just now had an indescribable charm. Jing Chu Chu was still alright but Jing Guan Sheng was somewhat infatuated looking at her.
Seeing Shen Miao like this, Old Shen Furen was extremely satisfied. She said with a smile, "Since that is the case, all of you can withdraw. I still have some words that I want to discuss with Chu Chu that girl. After so many years of not seeing one another, one do not know if the family is well." Old Shen Furen's loving look fell into Chen Rou Qiu's eyes and she was somewhat moved. However, she only respectfully agreed and followed the crowd to leave, except for Rong Jing Tang.
Outside of Rong Jing Tang, Jing Guan Sheng said to Shen Miao, "What does Fifth Younger Sister like to do at home?"
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were walking at the front and did not hear the words but it was Shen Qiu who walked to Shen Miao's side vigilantly when he heard it and did not speak as he looked at Jing Guan Sheng.
Shen Miao gently smiled, "Nothing much, just reading books."
"Coincidentally, I also like to read books in the residence." Jing Guan Sheng smiled, "Most likely one can seek advice from Biao Younger Sister."
Shen Miao swept a glance at him and even Shen Qiu noticed the contempt in her eyes and was somewhat surprised that Shen Miao would be so unfriendly to a person whom she had just met for the first time. He only heard Shen Miao saying, "Forget it. One think that Biao Older Brother's residence does not have many books, to seek advice from me … It is better to get someone to send a few books to Biao Older Brother as they are all unique copies."
She actually did not conceal her disdain of the other's poor background. Jing Guan Sheng's face stiffened in a moment.
In Rong Jing Tang, Old Shen Furen was holding Jing Chu Chu's hands and said benevolently, "To be so beautiful at such a young age, one do not know if there is any betrothal at this age?"
Jing Chu Chu softly said, "Replying to Old Furen, not yet."
"Not yet." Old Shen Furen's smile deepened, "With your appearance and temperament, it would be good if you can be my Shen family's granddaughter-in-law."
Jing Chu Chu lowered her head and her face turned even redder as her hands gradually clenched. Their Jing family was only an ordinary merchant and heard that their Grandfather had a sister who had prospered in the Ding capital, thus they sent the two of them to the Ding capital, hoping that the other party would be able to help them. Early on when they reached the Shen residence, Jing Chu Chu was already dazzled by the riches and honour of the Shen residence. If she was able to marry into the General residence, then she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life and she would be a Furen of a wealthy family. How could Jing Chu Chu's heart not be excited? It was just that she could not show it on her face.
Old Shen Furen patted her hands and smiled, "At this age, you are very compatible with Eldest Family's Qiu-er. Our Qiu-er is now a Deputy General and what is even better is that he is still unmarried. "
