Shen Miao's lips slightly hooked up.
Her eyes swept across the people on the stage one by one.
Shen Wan, Chen Rou Qiu, Shen Gui, Shen Yue, Old Shen Furen … Hearing that Chang Zai Qing had a miscarriage in prison, when the jailer found her the next day and carried her out, her body was already stiff. It was better to let him bleed to death while he was still alive. At least he wouldn't have to watch helplessly as his head was chopped off and his corpse was left intact. But what was the use of that? Her life was gone and the entire Ding capital knew that she abandoned her husband and son.
"Biao Youngest Sister, what are you thinking about?" Luo Tan asked softly.
"Thinking about the past." Shen Miao gently answered.
She thought of when she was fighting for power with Mei Furen in the Inner Palace, it was this group of people on the stage who stabbed the First household without leaving any leeway. They caused the death of Shen Qiu, caused the death of Luo Xue Yan, caused Shen Xin to be haggard and caused Wan Yu and Fu Ming to not have a strong support from their mother's family, and could only be sacrificed in the Imperial family's throne room. They obviously had the most orthodox blood but lived like a lowly Shu son or Shu daughter. And all of these were given by these people in front of her.
Shen Yue said, "Fifth Younger Sister, we are not a family."
Not a family, but an enemy. At least from now on, with the death of this group of people on the stage, she and those jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards of the Shen family no longer had any relationship at all.
Shen Yue looked around in a panic on the stage but suddenly looked towards Shen Miao's direction. At the same time when she saw Shen Miao, a strong hatred burst out from her eyes. If it was not for the fact that she was being held in shackles, Shen Yue would have crossed the crowd to Shen Miao and scratched Shen Miao's face.
Shen Miao smiled at her through the crowd and did not care if Shen Yue could see clearly, but she slightly raised her chin and looked at her with a critical and condescending gaze, like looking at a dog.
Shen Yue was angered by Shen Miao's gaze and started to scream even more. The official who was holding her impatiently gave her a kick and Shen Yue seemed to be in pain from the kick and was momentarily quiet. But she looked towards another direction with an extremely angry expression.
Shen Miao followed her gaze and saw that not far from her, there was a familiar figure. It was a young lady, dressed in luxurious clothes, slightly drooping eyebrows, pointed chin and big eyes. If it wasn't Shen Dong Ling, who else could it be?
Shen Dong Ling also saw Shen Miao and smiled gently and actually walked towards Shen Miao. When he was near, he bowed to Shen Miao and softly said, "Fifth Younger Sister." Then he looked at Shen Qiu and said, "Eldest Brother."
Shen Qiu nodded indifferently. Shen Miao however carefully sized up Shen Dong Ling.
Shen Dong Ling was originally good looking and had the same looks as Wan YiNiang, three points of delicateness and a few points of coquettishness. With such looks, there were actually very few that could be the main room. Most of them were concubines who had such appearances. When marrying a wife, one must choose a virtuous one, but when marrying a concubine, one must choose a charming one. In the past, Shen Dong Ling was always submissive in the Shen residence and was always patient and obedient. Her good looks were also wasted by that grey and loose clothes. Looking at it now, perhaps it was because she had taken good care of herself, her face was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it. Her gaze was also moist and moving. She wore bright clothes that accentuated her slender figure. She was a vivid and charming beauty.
Looking at the entourage beside her, it seemed that Wang Bi treated her well. Otherwise he would not let a married female like her show her face in public so casually.
Because Shen Dong Ling rarely left the courtyard in the Shen residence, not to mention going out, thus the surrounding commoners did not recognise her. Luo Tan looked at Shen Dong Ling with some curiosity. Shen Dong Ling looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile, "One did not think that one would be able to meet Fifth Younger Sister here. It is really fate."
Shen Miao smiled gently.
Shen Dong Ling's attitude was very natural and there was no trace of sorrow in her expression. One heard that Wan YiNiang was also fetched out and was sold off by the Wang family. But Shen Gui who was on the stage was Shen Dong Ling's father and Shen Dong Ling did not have any trace of change in expression. When she was chatting with Shen Miao, it was as if she was watching a flower-viewing banquet. Upon closer inspection, there was even some joy.
"I am here to seek pleasure." Shen Miao looked at Shen Dong Ling, "What is Third Older Sister here for?"
When Shen Dong Ling heard it, she covered her mouth and smiled unhurriedly. It was completely different from the past. Now her every move was overflowing with charm, like the young Wan YiNiang, and there was no trace of timidity in the past.
She said, "Fifth Younger Sister seeking pleasure, I dare not." Shen Dong Ling looked at the stage, "Only heard about the interesting matter in the Ding capital and came to have some fun and to be happy."
Just as she finished speaking, one heard the executioner on the stage throwing down a sign and said, "The time has arrived. Execution."
A few streaks of blood spurted out at the same time.
Shen Dong Ling used a handkerchief to cover her mouth and widened her eyes with a look of pity as she softly said, "Really pitiful."
"Yes." Shen Miao said calmly, "Really pitiful."
