However, the more she said that, the more it seemed to remind everyone that Shen Miao was Shen Qiu’s sister. How good a person could she be if her brother was a bad person?
“I’m just curious.” Shen Miao said indifferently, “Why are you discussing this here instead of resolving the matter? Do you want more people to join the show? Why don’t you go out and get the passers-by to come in?”
Her sarcasm made everyone plunge in silence.
Indeed, if it happened to an ordinary family, they would immediately think of ways to cover it. However, Old Madam Shen and Chen Ruoqiu seemed to want more people to know. They even started discussing at the door. Anyone with a brain could tell the two of them were up to no good.
Chen Ruoqiu and Old Madam Shen were a little embarrassed, but Shen Miao continued casually, “Even if my mother isn’t here, there should be someone here to take charge of the situation, right? Second Aunt is not here today. Third Aunt, don’t you have a clue what you should do?”
Chen Ruoqiu’s face turned pale, and so did Shen Yue’s. At this moment, when Ren Wanyun was brought up, everyone looked at Chen Ruoqiu meaningfully. Chen Ruoqiu was even angrier. Shen Miao was clearly saying that her ability to manage the mansion was not as good as Ren Wanyun’s.
After all, Shen Miao had been in the harem for many years. None of the women in the harem were easy to deal with. When it came to arguing and quibbling, everyone was sharp-tongued.
Just because Luo Xueyan was not here didn’t mean they could accuse Shen Qiu as they pleased. When Shen Qiu was in trouble, they stood outside gloating without doing anything. More importantly, the madams were not fools. Earlier, they were shocked by the situation inside and couldn’t think straight. However, Shen Miao’s sarcastic tone made them gradually realize that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.
Old Madam Shen flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “Shen Miao, is this how you are supposed to talk to us after what your brother has done?”
Shen Miao almost laughed, but she shook her head. “This is considered a big matter. Let’s get my father, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle to come over to judge.”
Old Madam Shen, Chen Ruoqiu, and all the madams present were stunned. The less people knew about this, the better. Why did Shen Miao want more people to know? Chen Ruoqiu felt even more uneasy. For some reason, although everything was going according to her plan, she felt that something was wrong.
The door was wide open, and there seemed to be no movement from the two people inside. Old Madam Shen’s maids wanted to close the door, but they heard Shen Miao sneer and say, “Don’t close it. Since we’ve already seen what there is to see, it’s useless to close the door. Anyone who wants to see more can go on.”
At this moment, Old Madam Shen also felt that something was wrong. At this moment, she was in a difficult position. Old Madam Shen could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart and watch helplessly as Shen Miao instructed someone to invite Shen Xin and the others over.
Jiang Xiaoxuan wiped her tears and said, “Miss Jing is still young. How is she going to live the rest of her life after this?”
“Please be my witness.” Old Madam Shen said, “People of the Shen family have always been upright. After such a thing happened, I naturally have to give everyone an explanation. Chuchu is my grandniece and has always been obedient and sensible. I originally wanted to keep her by my side and find a good match for her in the future. Unexpectedly…” Old Madam Shen looked sad.” My Shen family is not that kind of family to shun the responsibility. No matter what happens, I will definitely give Chuchu justice!”
