521 Nightmare (4)
Shen Miao said, “Tell the servants not to mention what happened today to anyone. Chang Zaiqing has never been here. Remember that.”
The two maids nodded and left. Although they did not understand why Shen Miao paid so much attention to Chang Zaiqing, the maids knew that Shen Miao had a reason to do so and did not interfere.
After everyone left, Shen Miao sat at the table and looked at the bronze mirror in a daze.
Shen Miao got Chang Zaiqing to target Chen Ruoqiu instead because Chen Ruoqiu was really detestable, and Shen Miao was too busy to deal with her. In her previous life, Chen Ruoqiu “accidentally” discovered the marriage contract between Chang Zaiqing and Shen Xin. It was Chen Ruoqiu who kept saying that the Shen family must not let Chang Zaiqing down and wanted to seek justice for her. Shen Miao thought that Chang Zaiqing was probably instigated to marry Shen Xin because Chen Ruoqiu had been persuading her in private.
Since they were good friends, there was no harm in putting them together to see who could win Shen Wan’s heart. Shen Miao’s eyes turned cold. She could naturally save herself a lot of trouble by letting Chang Zaiqing deal with Chen Ruoqiu, but still, she wouldn’t let Chang Zaiqing off easily either.
However… Shen Miao frowned. What exactly did Chang Zaiqing do in her previous life that caused Luo Xueyan to die in the end? Even now, it was still a mystery.
Because of Chang Zaiqing, Shen Miao had been absent-minded during family dinner. When everyone asked her what she was troubled with, Shen Miao said that she was a little tired. Luo Xueyan got someone to make some milk soup for Shen Miao and told her to rest early.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu tucked Shen Miao in and blew out the candlelight. Shen Miao closed her eyes.
The dark night gradually enveloped the entire capital, and Shen Miao started to feel that her body was getting lighter and lighter.
The sun suddenly shone brightly outside. She opened her eyes and felt that it was a little dazzling. The air in the room was stuffy and hot, feeling like summer.
It was early winter, so how could it be summer? Shen Miao sat up and felt a strange headache. She looked down and found herself sitting on the soft couch in a room, the sound of a woman talking could be heard. An extremely bitter herbal smell spread out.
The herbal smell was actually a little familiar.
Shen Miao stood up. There was not a single maid in the room, and the woman’s voice became clearer. She thought for a moment and walked into the room to take a look.
In the spacious room, the windows were tightly shut. The weather was very hot to begin with, and with the windows tightly shut, the room was almost suffocating. Coupled with the annoying bitter herbal smell, Shen Miao felt as if there was something stuck in her chest.
Shen Miao took a few steps forward and was about to open the window when she heard someone say, “Go and open the window. I feel uncomfortable.”
Shen Miao was stunned. The woman lying on the bed looked haggard. She was wearing a dark apricot-colored thin cotton robe. Her hair was soaked in sweat, and most of the clothes on her chest were wet from sweat. Her face was extremely pale, and her eyes were filled with death. Shen Miao widened her eyes. It was Luo Xueyan!
When had Luo Xueyan ever looked so haggard?
“Sister, lie down.” The woman sitting by the bed comforted her. “It won’t be good if you catch a cold in this weather.”
Shen Miao turned to look at the woman. Her light green clothes were simple, but the material was expensive. She was dressed refreshingly and elegantly, making a sharp contrast with the lifeless Luo Xueyan. At this moment, Chang Zaiqing was holding Luo Xueyan’s hand and saying, “Sister, you have to get better.”
