“Then, why did you betray me when I treated you so well?”

These words almost scared Nanny Gui out of her wits. She looked up at Shen Miao and said in surprise, “What!”

“Nanny, you don’t have to look so surprised.” Shen Miao smiled and said, “Back then, I was a thousand times. No, ten thousands more surprised than you.”

“Miss, someone must be sowing discord between us. I’ve never betrayed you. How can I betray you? Miss, you have to believe me!” Nanny Gui reacted very quickly. After a short moment of panic, she looked extremely aggrieved. She shouted loudly to prove her loyalty.

“That’s enough.” Shen Miao waved her hand, looking a little impatient. “In the Wolong Temple, you added an aphrodisiac drug to the food you gave me. Second Aunt has always been smart. It seems like she really treated you as her trusted aide.”

When she finished speaking, Nanny Gui, who wanted to defend herself at the beginning, could not say a word.

She looked at Shen Miao in a daze, her eyes filled with shock.

“Nanny, I want to hear it from you. Who do you think is smarter? Me or Second Aunt?”

“You, don’t tell me you…” Nanny Gui said with difficulty.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Shen Miao’s voice was so low that only Nanny Gui could hear it. She said, “I was the one who should be humiliated. Why did it turn out to be First Sister in the end? It’s naturally not a coincidence. I did it.”

It was one thing to guess, but it was another to hear it with her own ears. Nanny Gui looked at the girl in front of her in fear. Shen Miao was half-squatting on the ground and looking at her with a smile. Her clear eyes were like the eyes of a beast under the green light. They were surprisingly bright and terrifying in the night. She was clearly obedient and fair. How could she be so terrifying?

After being thrown into the woodshed, Nanny Gui had been thinking about why Shen Miao and Shen Qing changed rooms in the end. She also wondered if Shen Miao was involved, but she quickly dispelled this ridiculous thought. She had watched Shen Miao grow up, so she was very familiar with her. Shen Miao was stupid and soft-hearted to begin with, so she could not do such a thing. Now that Shen Miao admitted it in front of Nanny Gui, she did not even try to hide it.

“Miss…” She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Since Shen Miao already knew about this, there was no way Shen Miao would save her.

“Second Aunt has always been ruthless. Although she values Nanny, after this incident, Nanny won’t have a good future. What a pity.” Her words were filled with pity, as if she really sympathized with Nanny Gui.

Nanny Gui was afraid of Ren Wanyun’s ruthless methods. She immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Shen Miao. “Miss, please save me this time. I didn’t mean to harm you. Second Madam used my children and grandchildren to threaten me. I was forced to do this. Miss, for the sake of Master and Madam, I’ve served you for more than ten years. Please save me!”

She knocked her head hard. In the past, Shen Miao respected her and would never make Nanny Gui kowtow like this. But now… she was Empress Shen of Ming Qi. All the civil and military officials had knelt before her. She didn’t feel a thing when Nanny Gui’s head bled from knocking on the floor.
