“If you want to worry about these things, why don’t you worry about yourself?” Shen Miao said.

“Me?” Shen Yue became nervous. “What should I be worried about?”

“Do you think your maids can still live after seeing the scene in that room?”

“What?”

“It seems like Second Sister is still very naive.” Shen Miao smiled. “How long do you think a servant who knows their master’s secret can live?”

Huang Ying and Qing Luan, who were beside Shen Yue, immediately turned pale. They naturally knew that there were plenty of nasty things in rich families. Once they were seen by servants, the servants would only die. Only the dead could keep secrets.

Shen Yue was shocked. Just now, she was so shocked to see what happened to Shen Qing that she forgot her maids were in danger. It was not that she was a sentimental person, but it took a lot of effort to nurture a personal maid. Of course, she was not willing to let her maids die.

“It’s not just the two of them.” Shen Miao smiled and glanced at Yan Mei, Shui Bi, and Nanny Gui. “None of them can escape.”

Nanny Gui and the two maids almost fainted.

Shen Miao turned to leave, but Shen Yue quickly stopped her. “Where are you going?”

“Didn’t we come to Wolong Temple to offer incense?” Shen Miao replied indifferently. “I also have a lot of questions to ask Buddha.”

With that, she left without looking back, as if whatever happened here didn’t concern her in the slightest. Everything was going according to plan. She would sleep for a night, then burn incense and pray for peace.

“Wait!” Shen Yue suddenly said, “Why aren’t her two maids here?”

Nanny Gui was also stunned.

When Shen Miao met Shen Yue this morning, she asked Jingzhe and Gu Yu to go to the kitchen to get some food. They hadn’t appeared until now, so they didn’t know what happened to Shen Qing. Now that Shen Yue thought about it, how could it be such a coincidence? Shen Qing and Shen Yue’s maids had both witnessed something ugly and couldn’t escape the punishment. However, neither of Shen Miao’s maids was around. She was obviously the one who sent them away on purpose.

She already knew that this would happen today. She already knew that something would happen to Shen Qing.

Shen Yue looked back, but Shen Miao was no longer there.

When it was noon, the rain finally stopped.

Xianglan searched the entire mountain but could not find a doctor. Usually, other than the occasional visitors, no one else would come here. When the monks in the temple fell ill, they would just grab some herbs and cook them. Xianglan could not find a doctor, so she could only go to the monk and ask for some calming herbs and medicine for Shen Qing.

The room was filled with the smell of herbs and a strange smell. Even though it had been cleaned, the smell still lingered. The woman on the bed had her eyes closed, and Ren Wanyun was sitting by the window. In just a few hours, she seemed to have aged ten years.
