Su Minglang sat back down, pouting. He heard that this was Old Madam Shen’s birthday banquet, so he came. Thinking that he had not seen Shen Miao in Guangwen Hall for so long, he was very concerned. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to see Shen Miao, but Shen Miao hadn’t shown up.

In the women’s section outside, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, “Speaking of which, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Wei, shouldn’t you guys toast Old Madam too?”

After all, they would be in-laws in the future.

Mrs. Huang dressed exquisitely with heavy makeup on. Hearing this, she just smiled. She probably knew that this marriage was just a matter of exchanging benefits. If the Shen family really cared about their daughter, they would not agree to this marriage at all.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wei looked a little uncomfortable. The Shen family was indeed a good family. However, Shen Miao in the past was too stupid to be the madam of the family. Later, after the test, she asked around and found out that Shen Miao seemed to have been enlightened and became much smarter. That was why she came to propose marriage for her son.

However, she did not see Shen Miao today. When she heard that Shen Miao had a rash, Mrs. Wei was a little worried. If Shen Miao got a bad disease, it would ruin her son’s life. Thinking of this, she looked a little unwilling.

When Chen Ruoqiu saw these expressions, she sneered in her heart. She was not a fool. How could she not tell what Ren Wanyun was up to? Old Madam Shen and Ren Wanyun were hiding it from others, but they could not hide it from her. However, this was even a good thing for her. Ren Wanyun was too concerned about her daughter and made a wrong move. She did not take into consideration how angry Shen Xin would be when he returned. At that time, the first and second branches would fight and hurt each other. Her daughter, Shen Yue, would be able to stand out.

Ren Wanyun smiled and stood up. “In that case, I should toast to the two madams first.”

Everyone laughed even louder. Feng Anning frowned and looked a little unhappy.

In the ancestral hall on the other side, all the maids were sent away. Shen Miao knelt in front of the memorial tablet and looked at the hourglass in her hand. The sand was about to leak out and the time was almost up.

She burned the three incense sticks and bowed gently.

At this moment, she heard a soft sound.

In the years spent in the State of Qin, she had developed a habit of being extremely vigilant at all times Shen Miao stood up and said, “Who is it?”

“Little girl, you’re quite sharp.” A familiar voice sounded. Shen Miao turned around and saw the purple-clothed youth leaning against the window, looking at her with a faint smile. Seeing that she was looking at him, he jumped into the ancestral hall.

No matter how calm Shen Miao was, she couldn’t help but be a little stunned. Xie Jingxing was actually wandering around someone else’s house in broad daylight. It was naturally impossible for him to be invited over. The relationship between the Shen family and the Xie family was like walking on thin ice, unless Shen Gui and Shen Wan were crazy.

Now, there were guards in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall. How did he get in? Shen Miao accidentally asked the question in her heart.

“The guards of the Shen family are really useless,” Xie Jingxing said. “I walked straight in.”
