Just as Shen Yue's voice landed, she saw Shen Miao looking at her. That pair of grape-like dark eyes were exceptionally clear and seemed to contain a special meaning, which made her surprised for a moment.
In the next second, she heard Shen Miao's faint voice, "Second Older Sister, what admiring His Highness Prince Ding? These words cannot be spoken nonsense. Now Fifth Lady is a young lady of marriageable age and to speak like this, one fear that it will ruin Fifth Lady's reputation. "
Shen Yue was stunned.
Shen Miao's love for Prince Ding was known by the entire noble circle in the capital. Even though Shen Miao did not say it explicitly, her words and actions were not concealed, so why was she denying it now?
She smiled, "Fifth Younger Sister, everyone here is one's own family. There is nothing wrong with these matters …"
"Second Older Sister!" Just as she was speaking, Shen Miao suddenly interrupted her words loudly and sternly said, "Second Older Sister speak cautiously. As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth. His Highness Prince Ding is a descendant of nobility and as an aristocratic family, one must be cautious in words and actions. In the past it was Fifth Lady who was young and insensible, and one fear that she had done some things that would cause misunderstandings. But the matter yesterday was a lesson and Fifth Lady will naturally restrain her words and actions. One hopes that Second Older Sister will not say such things. "
With these words, not only Shen Yue but everyone in the room, including Old Shen Furen, were all stunned.
Shen Miao was usually gentle and timid and never spoke loudly before. She was obedient and easy to manipulate, so when had she ever spoken so harshly before?
Chen Rou Qiu's eyes flashed. Shen Yue was still young and was not as astute as her. Chen Rou Qiu was born in a scholarly family, but she was not brainless. She was usually arrogant and was never willing to give in. Seeing that her daughter was at a disadvantage, she was unhappy and immediately said gently, "Whether Wu Niang is in love or not, it can be said in one sentence. After all, who can guess a girl's mind? But Fifth Lady still have to listen to Third Shen Shen's words. Your Second Older Sister is right. His Highness Prince Ding's status is noble and no matter what, one should go and apologise to him. "
"Correct." Old Shen Furen also recovered to her senses and said, "Tomorrow one will go to the residence of Prince Ding to send an invitation and personally apologise."
Shen Miao almost laughed out of anger. These words could only deceive the ignorant her in her previous lifetime. Now looking at it again, she was a Di daughter of a military family with a noble status. Why should she go to the Prince's residence to apologize? As such, where would Shen Xin put his face? One was afraid that from tomorrow onwards, there would be another joke in the Ding capital.
She could be considered to have understood that Old Furen did not like Shen Xin, the First household, and could not wait for the First household to make a fool of themselves all day long. It would be best if they collapse early and Shen Xin, Shen Furen was not in the Ding capital, so she was used as a raft.
But how could there be such a good thing in the world?
Shen Miao smiled faintly and her gaze fell on Chen Qing who had been silent since the beginning. She said, "Big sister, when I fell into the water that day, only you were by my side."
Shen Qing raised her head and nodded calmly. She had already thought that Shen Miao would definitely say that she pushed her into the water but Shen Qing was not afraid at all. Now Old Furen and Ren Wan Yun were the ones making the decisions in the Shen family. Shen Miao only had the title of a Young Lady on the surface, but in reality she was just a daughter of the Third household. As long as one insisted that there was no such thing, Old Furen and Ren Wan Yun would side with her. At that time when Shen Miao lied, Old Furen would despise her and even punish her severely. Serves you right! Who asked a vulgar and ignorant daughter to want to snatch Prince Ding from her. Why did she not drown to death that day!
"Big sister, did you also see His Highness Prince Ding that day?" But Shen Miao's question was not about this.
"Saw." Chen Qing answered.
"That is it. The day before yesterday, it was obviously me and Big sister playing by the pond and accidentally fell into the water. Coincidentally, His Highness Prince Ding who was passing by the Shen residence and came in to ask Second Shu for a painting." Shen Miao shook her head, "If I went to peek at His Highness Prince Ding, where would I get the news from? There is no reason for Second Shu's and Third Shu's servants to pass the message to the inner courtyard. How would I know that His Highness Prince Ding would suddenly come to the Shen residence to ask Second Shu for a painting? Or … "She spoke unhurriedly," Could it be that His Highness Prince Ding sent an invitation to our residence? "
Chen Qing did not understand the meaning of Shen Miao's words and was about to refute with a frown when she heard her mother Ren Wan Yun suddenly shout, "Eldest Sister!" There was an unconcealable panic in her voice.
Shen Miao swept a glance at the pale Ren Wan Yun and the suddenly nervous Chen Rou Qiu and smiled slightly.
As she said, there were so many astute people in the residence so how could they not hear it.
Fu Xiu Yi came to the Shen residence the day before yesterday and when he passed by the Shen residence, he remembered the chess bet with Shen Gui and went to look for Shen Gui to ask for a painting.
Now Shen Miao said that an invitation was sent in advance … Nowadays the Emperor hated officials and Princes to be too close, so if an invitation was specially sent, what was the purpose of the invitation? The future plan of the Crown Prince?
There were thousands of eyes and ears in the world and who knew if there would be spies from the Tian family in the Shen residence. There were some things that could not be said.
Shen Miao's one sentence had raised a female's conduct to a subject's loyalty. Shen Xin was in the Northwest region so naturally there was no problem but Shen Gui and Shen Wan were still in the Shen residence and these two people were still serving in the court.
Shen Yue and Shen Qing did not understand this logic but Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu definitely understood.
Shen Miao sneered in her heart. They wanted to trample on her reputation so she would use Shen Gui's and Shen Wan's heads to gamble. She did not know if her Second and Third Shen understood? Willing to? Dare to?
