Shen Miao replied vaguely. When she walked to the door, she saw that two carriages were already parked there.

Shen Gui and Shen Wan stood outside. When they saw Shen Miao and the others walking over, they looked a little awkward. These days, Shen Xin had never been nice to the two of them. No matter how they explained, he would not listen.

“Brother.” Shen Wan had to be more tactful and greeted Shen Xin with a smile.

Shen Xin nodded and walked to his carriage. He said to Shen Miao, “Madam, Jiaojiao, go in first.” Shen Xin and Shen Qiu did not have the habit of riding in carriages, so they rode horses after the carriage.

Shen Gui and Shen Wan did not look happy being ignored like this. A trace of anger flashed across Shen Gui’s eyes. The curtain of one of the other two carriages was lifted up, revealing the faces of Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu. Shen Yue said gently, “Fifth Sister, do you want to sit in the same carriage as us? This carriage is big enough. Aunt can also sit with us too.”

“No need,” Luo Xueyan said with a cold expression. “It’s safer to sit in my own carriage.”

Shen Miao clapped for Luo Xueyan in her heart. In the past, Luo Xueyan and the other two madam did not have any interaction. She was straightforward and sincere, so no one had ever seen such a mean side of her. One had to know that on the battlefield, she was known for being merciless.

In the other carriage, Shen Qing and Ren Wanyun were also listening to the talk outside. Shen Qing’s face was still a little pale. She held Ren Wanyun’s hand and subconsciously tightened her grip, making Ren Wanyun cry out. When Shen Qing let go, there were scratches on Ren Wanyun’s wrist.

Ren Wanyun was not in the mood to care about her hands. She pulled Shen Qing into her arms and felt Shen Qing’s body trembling.

“Qing…” Ren Wanyun comforted her in a low voice.

“I have to kill her…” With Shen Qing in her arms, Shen Qing said, gritting her teeth. Shen Qing had gradually regained her senses and could recall the terrifying night at the Wolong Temple. All of this was caused by Shen Miao. What was even more terrifying was that she was already pregnant and could not abort the child. Otherwise, she might not be able to be a mother for the rest of her life. Thinking of the pain she had suffered, Shen Qing wished she could make Shen Miao feel the same pain. No, she should make Shen Miao suffer ten times more!

“Mother will avenge you…” Ren Wanyun felt like her heart was being stabbed by a knife. She wished she could turn into a wolf and pounce on Shen Miao to bite her throat. Shen Qing’s cry was like a knife stabbing into her heart. Facing Shen Qing, she would always think of that night. She stayed next door, but she chose to stand by and do nothing.

“I will avenge you…” Ren Wanyun muttered.

In the other carriage, Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu were sitting opposite each other. Just now, Shen Yue was a little unhappy to be rejected by Luo Xueyan. She looked down on vulgar military women like Luo Xueyan to begin with. Now that she was mocked by her, she was even angrier.

“Yue.” Chen Ruoqiu frowned slightly. “How many times have I told you to stay calm under all circumstances? Why do you have to lose your temper because of her?”

“Mother, I just can’t stand it.” Shen Yue looked at her palm. “Shen Miao used to be respectful to us. Now that Eldest Uncle and his family are back, she’s acting more and more arrogantly. Isn’t she deliberately doing this for us to see?”
