It had been a long time since Shen Qiu and Shen Miao had a long chat. The guards outside the west courtyard were the soldiers who came back with the general. No one could enter. Two hours was not a long time, but it was not a short time either. Shen Miao had always been the one listening to Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu probably wanted to make Shen Miao happy and talk about some interesting things in the army. He even asked her what she had been through in the past year, but Shen Miao avoided the questions.
There were some things that were not suitable to be said now. Moreover, the current Shen family had not reached the point where they could frame the first branch like in her previous life.
After talking for a while, Shen Miao looked a little tired. Shen Qiu was worried about his sister, so he said, “Sister, you’re not fully recovered yet, so I won’t disturb you. Rest well. When Father and Mother return to the mansion, it will probably be dark. When they come back, I’ll come over with them to visit you.”
Shen Miao nodded in agreement.
Shen Qiu stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Shen Miao. “Sister, you said that Shen Qing’s virginity was taken. Do you know who did it?”
Shen Miao looked at him and smiled. “That raper is very cunning. He escaped.”
“I see.” Shen Qiu lowered his head thoughtfully and looked at Shen Miao with a calm smile. “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.” He strode out of the house. When he walked out of the door, the youthful smile on his face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a gloomy expression. When the servants outside saw this, they couldn’t help but shiver. He instructed the guards beside him, “Get two people to go to the Wolong Temple to investigate.” He glanced at Shen Miao’s door, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice, “Sister, what exactly happened this year…”
In the house, Shen Miao said to Gu Yu, “Go and give some money to Chun Tao and Doctor Chen. At the most critical moment, we have to make sure the baby in Eldest Sister’s stomach is safe and sound.” She touched the scar left behind by the burn on her arm. The scar was especially glaring on her fair skin, as if a piece of top-grade brocade had been burned for no reason. She did not feel sad at all because the outcome was satisfactory. “I need to rely on this unborn nephew of mine for the rest of the show.”
“Miss.” Jingzhe asked, “Why didn’t you tell Eldest Young Master everything just now?” Shen Miao held back from telling Shen Qiu some of the things. For example, the raper was Prince Yu. Jingzhe said, “If Eldest Young Master takes action, at least Prince Yu won’t dare to act rashly. Moreover, if Master and Madam know, they will also protect Miss.”
“Even if I didn’t tell him, he would still go and investigate it.” Shen Miao looked out of the window. “I’m afraid he’s already gone to find out what happened at the Wolong Temple.”
“But can Eldest Young Master find out?” Jingzhe was worried. “If he will eventually find out, then what’s the point of hiding it from him?”
“Prince Yu does things flawlessly. If I’m not wrong, the monks of the Wolong Temple have probably been replaced inside and out. Not to mention Eldest Brother, even Father can’t find any evidence.”
“Oh my god.” Jingzhe covered her mouth. “Then doesn’t that mean that no one will find out the truth?” She thought that after Shen Xin and his wife returned, they would be able to stand up for Shen Miao. However, Shen Miao’s words seemed to indicate that everything that happened that day at the Wolong Temple would remain unknown forever.
