The Rebirth of the Empress

Back to the House (part 2)

In the temple hall, a huge towering golden Buddha statue stood facing lovingly towards the believers.

In front of the grass mat, Shen Miao kneeled on the ground holding an incense stick, but no one knew what he was thinking.

From morning till now, he has been kneeling here for some Shichen (1 shichen \= 2 hours)

"Young Miss, better get up and rest." Jing Zhe calmed down, “There is no point in injuring the body by kneeling too much. Buddha must have seen your sincerity and your request will surely be reached.”

Demand can be achieved? Shen Miao heard those words and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. His request has long been unfulfilled. There is an opportunity to make changes in this life for the mistakes made in his past life but those who died in that wrong life will not come back again. Wan Yu. Fu Ming. Will they have a chance to return?

One fears that in the destined human world, there is nothing left.

Moreover, he is not a believer.

Shen Miao raised his head and looked at the gigantic golden Buddha statue. It was just an ice-cold statue and could not really save all the creatures. If Heaven had eyes, how would a good person suffer such a miserable fate? Instead the wicked are free and enjoy life?

He knelt here and continued to burn sticks and incense, not to worship the Buddha but to the people who died in his previous life. People who died because of him.

After his rebirth, he had no chance and reason to salute or perform religious ceremonies to these people, including his sons and daughters who were no longer around. Now that he was here, he could offer incense to the Buddha and pay homage to death.

“Shen Miao!” An aggressive voice suddenly broke.

Shen Miao smiled gently. People in the world are often impatient.

He rubbed his sore knee and stood up. When he turned his head, he looked at Ren Wan Yun with all of a smile, "Shen Second."

Seeing Shen Miao's smile, Ren Wan Yun felt annoyed and stood forward to raise his hand with the intention to slap Shen Miao's face.

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu wanted to stop him but it was too late. Before the expected loud slap sound could be heard, Shen Miao grabbed Ren Wan Yun's arm tightly and the palm stopped right in front of his face.

“People don't know why Second Shen is so impulsive. Although you can discipline me on behalf of Father and Mother, but that does not mean that someone can be beaten. I fear there are no such rules in ordinary families. ” She said.

Ren Wan Yun never expected that Shen Miao would actually stop his slap. The young lady in front was thin but the hand she was holding was extremely painful. He did not know when the nephew who had previously consented and easily persuaded it had actually grown taller. He could no longer use the same gaze as when he was young as if someone was a little negligent, someone would be deceived by this little whore.

He did not want to let go of that problem, “Shen Miao, stop acting silly. Regarding the matter of Qing-er, did you do it?”

As of now, Shen Qing's state of mind was unclear and no one knew how the matter got to that point. But Ren Wan Yun was clear that if this matter was not related to Shen Miao then he would not believe it even if he was beaten up. He did not know what method Shen Miao used but he would definitely not take it lightly if anyone touched Shen Qing or let Shen Qing become like this!

“The Eldest Brother is being hurt by someone and I am also very sorry for it. But how could Shen Second be suspicious of me?” Shen Miao gently smiled, “If someone does not exchange rooms with Eldest Brother then the one who will encounter such an misfortune is me. I wouldn't be able to do such a cruel thing.”

Then the one who will encounter such misfortune is me!

It would still be fine if he did not say it but as soon as he said it, Ren Wan Yun felt his head jump in pain. He clasped his hands tightly and his expression was like a dangerous snake, “That is something you should bear. You're the one who let Qing-er suffer in your place.”

When Jing Ze and Gu Yu saw Ren Wan Yun like that, they were both shocked and furious. They were surprised that this Second Furen who usually wore a kind expression actually let go of all the pretenses of hospitality and became as brutal as that. They were angry because if not for Shen Miao's vigilance last night, the three of them, the mistress and the maid, would have suffered today. But Ren Wan Yun actually still blamed him. This was clearly the case of the guilty party filing a lawsuit first and not even having any shame!

"Shen Second must not say so, there is still the presence of Buddha here." Shen Miao chuckled as his eyes glanced smoothly as if there was light, “In this world, everything and every matter is conclusive. If the matter last night did not fall on me but on Eldest Brother, perhaps it was doomed by fate. The first Second Shen did not blame the perpetrators of the crime and did not blame fate but instead blamed me. What kind of reason is this?”

Ren Wan Yun was almost angered to death by Shen Miao. He sneered, “You are really fluent. I'm the one who underestimated you in the past.”

"Oh. So it turns out that Second Shen used to see me like that.” Shen Miao smiled unconcernedly.

Ren Wan Yun looked at Shen Miao in front of here. This modestly dressed young lady had a gentle demeanor and her delicate features started to change and started to gradually lose her original sentimentality. He did not know since when that stupid and stupid idiot Shen Miao had disappeared. There was no trace of Shen Miao past on this person ahead. The tactic he played in the inner courtyard for so many years had failed because of this young lady's hand and at a painful price. And Shen Miao still remained graceful which reminded her of the tragic Shen Qing.

“Shen Miao, since you are clear and not confused, I will also tell you honestly.” Ren Wan Yun suddenly smiled sinisterly. Since all the pretenses of hospitality are shed, there is no need to put on a mask of love. He said, “You think this matter will end like this? Old Madam will not let you go. Your Second Shu will also not let you go. That guy won't let you go either. Your fate will definitely be tens of thousands of times more tragic than Qing-er's. You will definitely be..Ridden by thousands of people and forever a prostitute that cannot be seen in public!”

"Furen was indeed guarding his tongue!" Jing Zhe and Gu Yu said loudly together. This Ren Wan Yun as the Second Furen of the Shen residence, and after all Shen Gui was someone in the official circle, would curse this viciously and vulgarly. No matter if it was a mortal enemy, Shen Miao was young, how would it be if these dirty words affected his ears?

Ren Wan Yun only then realized Gu Yu and Jing Zhe and sneered, “You even worked hard to protect these two maids. I'd like to see how long you can protect them! ” After he was done, he looked at Shen Miao cunningly before brushing his sleeves and leaving.

After Ren Wan Yun left, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao in a slight panic. Gu Yu anxiously said, "Young Miss, is it really good to let go of all the pretenses of hospitality?"

The truth about surviving in the Inner Palace is that if the enemy is in the light, let them defend in the light. If they were in the dark, one needed to find a way to bring them to the light. He had no intention of playing and performing with Ren Wan Yun. This game was filled with strong winds and rainstorms from the start and Ren Wan Yun had now lost all his senses, so it would definitely take his revenge like a madman.

“But... Once back in the residence, the Old Lady will definitely side with them.” whispered Jing Zhe. Old Shen Furen was the most biased and most favored of the Second household. It was not only because Shen Gui was the biological son of Grand Madam Shen and also because Ren Wan Yun gave birth to two sons for Shen Gui. Without mentioning Shen Yuan Bo, the eldest son of the Second Household held an office position as soon as he grew up and would also return to the capital. With two grandchildren, how Old Shen Furen was not biased towards the Second House/

Moreover, Ren Wan Yun's mouth could so please Grand Madam Shen that he became confused and confused. So after they returned, what happened would only correspond to Ren Wan Yun's words. Who would believe Shen Miao's words?

“If bias, let it go. Didn't expect these people would make the decision for me.” Shen Miao laughed.

When his laughter landed in Gu Yu's eyes, Gu Yu's nose felt sour and he suddenly said, "If this is the case, then this servant will bring this matter to be blackmailed. If something bad happens to Young Miss, this servant will even use this life to fight to the end to tell the whole world about it!”

"true." Jing Zhe's expression also turned cold, "Despite the method of killing thousands of enemies like this and injuring ten thousand people himself was a bit foolish, but in the future, it will be, one would not let them live well!"

Shen Miao was somewhat dumbfounded. He had not expected that the two maids by his side would be this brave. After a moment of silence, he laughed. Yep. At first in order to protect him, Gu Yu admitted to the charge of stealing the Empire's jade artifacts and was killed by the Crown Prince of the Qin state. Jing Zhe used her beauty and became a concubine to help her gain the support of high-ranking officials. Both of them were very loyal to him, but unfortunately he was unable to give them anything in his past life.

After his rebirth, no matter what he wanted to protect this servant. Enough to make a few mistakes.

"unneeded. I don't mean to spread this news. Shen Second will also make sure that it will not spread.”

“This problem that needs to be covered up but finally the paper can not cover the fire. When Eldest Young Miss gets married, of course it will be known. ” Gu Yu is a bit confused. It can be hidden temporarily but cannot be hidden for life, unless Shen Qing is not married in this life. Otherwise she gets married, her innocence issues will be revealed and everyone will know.

“So they will definitely find a way to hide it from everyone. As for what means they would use to deal with me, they would only do nothing but find that person to help. ”

"That guy?" Jing Zhe asked carefully, "Who is that person?"

“Of course the perpetrator of the crime was the one who harassed Eldest Brother.” Shen Miao chuckled, "Do you really think that last night was really an accident?"

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu shivered. Although they fainted guessing through some clues but they were unwilling to believe it. They did not believe that someone would hurt Shen Miao because this was an extremely cruel method, blocking his entire path. They did not believe that Shen Miao would predict him without becoming a fortune teller nor did they believe that the Second household of the Shen family did such a thing. Although it was only learned that the Easterners had bad intentions but they did not expect that the situation would be like that. This kind of method was clearly meant for the enemy.

“Young Miss... Is it true that Second Furen ordered people to do it?” Gu Yu had trouble asking.

If it was just an accident, they would feel lucky that Shen Miao had escaped that night, but if it was intentional, then the Second House would accept the consequences.

“But why Young Miss said that Second Furen would be looking for that person to ask for help. That person... Aren't people careless?” Jing Zhe felt a bit faint. If Ren Wan Yun found someone at random to destroy Shen Miao's innocence, now with this accident, Ren Wan Yun would kill that person. Why is he still letting that guy help?”

“Because that person is Prince Yu.”

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu inhaled a breath of cold air. The things that they had previously been unable to comprehend were now all cleared up. If that person was Prince Yu then everything was clear. Prince Yu seemed to be interested in Shen Miao before, but what kind of person was Prince Yu? Normal women will go the other way when they face it. If Prince Yu made a transaction with Ren Wan Yun personally, then it was likely that Ren Wan Yun would help Prince Yu in Shen Miao matters.

But now with the combination of strange factors between the two, if Ren Wan Yun told Prince Yu about the matter, with Prince Yu's fickle temperament, it was the case that, he would definitely not let Shen Miao go because he was fooled under the skin of his eyes.

"Young Miss, then ... Should a letter be written to the teacher?" Gu Yu and Jing Zhe panicked.

Prince Yu was someone impossible to deal with. Not mentioning strength or temperament, there was also the Imperial family protecting.

“It's okay” Shen Miao's eyes shine mysteriously, “Shen Qing is just an anecdote. What I want to deal with is Prince Yu. ”

He turned his head towards the smoke that was soaring in a spiral form above the temple hall.

Wan Yu, your entire life is too difficult and disappears so quickly like a flower. It has the namesake Princess but is no better than weeds. I can't even do anything for you. At least now, at least in this lifetime, I will help you take back every single thing from those who have oppressed you.

In one of the buildings in the capital city of Ding, a man dressed in white was playing with a porcelain cup in his hand and asked curiously, “So to say that the Shen family girl turned out to be an enemy of Prince Yu? To use her own TangJie hand to pull Prince Yu into the hole, such a method was indeed smart but being female, it was really too cruel.”

He shook his head and put on a sympathetic look.

"Prince Yu of the First Rank?" When he faced the purple-clothed youth, he had a smile on his face and his pair of eyes on that handsome face were as sharp as a knife. He lazily said, "I see Prince Yu is not the person he wants to handle."

“Not Prince Yu? Then who?" The white-clothed man stopped and looked towards the person opposite him, "You think that's ..."

"How about using Prince Yu as an entry point and killing the entire Ming Qi Empire family?" The young man replied lightly.
