The Rebirth of the Empress

Tampa Loss (part 2)

"All right." Shen Miao's lips were interested, “I wanted to ask on that day Shen Second stayed next to Eldest Brother's room and was very close. If something happened, how could Second Shen not hear it?”

Ren Wan Yun was stunned.

“If Eldest Brother refuses, there will definitely be voices. Seeing that Eldest Brother's body was filled with injuries that day, it seemed like he had struggled to get help, then why couldn't Second Shen hear him so closely? Could it be that Second Shen heard it but was unable to come out to see it because someone was too tired? ”

“You...” Ren Wan Yun opened his mouth and wanted to refute as his palms filled with cold sweat.

“Of course, maybe the Second Shen didn't hear a call of help. Wh why? It was only natural that Eldest Brother did not ask for help. Why didn't Eldest Brother ask for help? Is it because he knows the perpetrator of the crime?”

"You're spouting nonsense!" At this moment Ren Wan Yun could no longer tolerate and interrupted Shen Miao's words sharply.

Shen Gui and Shen Wan were after all men and their minds were not as thorough as women and did not think too much about things in the inner courtyard. But Chen Rou Qiu and Ren Wan Yun immediately understood. The former looked towards Shen Miao with eyes full of surprise, while the latter's eyes were filled with fear.

Shen Miao's words were truly terrifying. Yes, that day Ren Wan Yun and Shen Qing's rooms were very close to each other and if Shen Qing asked for help, how could someone not hear him and if someone heard him, how could someone not hear him, then why didn't he go and see her? . Could Ren Wan Yun have done it on purpose? Ren Wan Yun would naturally not intentionally harm his own daughter but the person who should have stayed there was Shen Miao. Ren Wan Yun had no reason to hurt his own daughter but it was not impossible for him to hurt his nephew. For Shen Miao to say it straightforwardly, Ren Wan Yun's secret plan would not be able to cover it in front of others.

And he also imagined another possibility. Shen Qing did not shout for help at all and why was that? Suffering such abuse but not screaming for help, it could be intentional. Why is it intentional? This matter, if one made it into a smaller matter, it would be humiliated by the perpetrators of the crime, if one made it into a big problem, it would be, perhaps he would even spread that Shen Qing had deliberately committed the crime of committing illicit relations with others. !

The world is already very difficult for women and it is always better to be safe than sorry. When the rumors started, it would be hard to put them out.

Shen Miao gently smiled, “Shen Second, I found that there are many doubts in this matter. Since Second Shu is also reasonable and upholds justice, it would be best to send me to the office of the Inspector General of the government to hold a pen hearing. I will definitely tell Daren what I know in its entirety and let Daren make the final decision and maybe the perpetrator of that crime will also be known.”

"No!" Ren Wan Yun and Shen Gui opened their mouths together.

Ren Wan Yun said no because he was naturally afraid that the problem would become complicated. If Shen Miao were to talk about this matter, then an intelligent person would be able to know the secret. There were many large families in the capital Ding and it was still fine if the matter was well hidden but if rumors spread then it was not impossible that one would be able to see the truth of his plan to harm his nephew. Moreover, once the truth was revealed, what was the result of Shen Qing's innocence? When this rumor spread, Shen Qing had to hang himself with a white silk attack.

Yet Shen Gui said no because of the opposite thought to Ren Wan Yun. He was just afraid that the matter would involve Prince Yu of the First Rank. Initially the matter was chaotic and the identities of Shen Miao and Shen Qing were mixed up. When Prince Yu learned of the matter, he would definitely be furious and if he got involved in the matter and was infected by the matter, Shen Gui was afraid that his official route would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, the couple who had previously threatened, both stopped Shen Miao's proposal simultaneously.

"Then what will Second Shu do?" She Miao's eyes swept over to the thick long whip that was in Shen Gui's hands and casually asked, "Still wanting to use the family scepter?"

The people in the room fell silent for a moment as Shen Yue stared intently at Shen Miao.

Even Shen Yue could see that he was threatening!

As if reflecting the shock in everyone's hearts, Shen Miao softly laughed, “If Second Shu uses the family scepter then there is no way out, no way out, but I always had a stubborn nature and if I had to commit the crime of the perpetrator of that crime.not mine, when Dad returns, then I will definitely think of a way to report to the government office.”

He implied that if Shen Gui were to hit him today, in the future when Shen Xin returned, he would definitely complain and at that time would also urge Shen Xin to report to the government office. Someone said it was to report the perpetrator of the crime but who would know who exactly he was reporting on in the end?

“Shu Second, did you take out that stick or not? If it will be used, then please do it faster. ” There was a faint smile on Shen Miao's clear eyes and there was also a hint of ridicule, "Since there are so many people around, I won't be able to escape from it."

Practically uniting the entire crowd at Rong Jing Tang as a bandit-like character, who wanted to see Shen Miao suffer a beating.

Shen Gui never thought that she would be threatened by her own nephew today after all she was in the official circle for such a long time and had the two-faced ability to deal with any issues like a fish in the water. It was not that he had not thought of a way out, but Shen Miao had not given him the chance to respond at all from the start. Shen Miao who spoke at first and as time went on, his words were as sharp as the tip of the spear and so aggressive that one could not retreat at all.

Traces of shock appeared in Shen Wan's eyes. This Second Brother of his was a shrewd old fox in official circles that even the political opponent had never pushed him into such an awkward position. Moreover, the one who pushed her into such a situation was only a fourteen-year-old young woman. The first household... Is it really indestructible? Shen Wan's bright eyes turned cloudy.

"You ..." Shen Gui's face turned slightly red. Today he did and said everything angrily because in his heart, after all, Shen Miao was a deceptive nephew and his character was weak. Even if he was beaten and his stick was used, in the future with some persuasion, he would not dare to talk about the matter today. Who knew that Shen Miao would change drastically and he did not know that he had become a thorn in his head. Not only did he not submit to the difficulty and still attack him and make him unable to get off the stage.

If he was not afraid of Shen Xin, Shen Gui would really be impatient to kill Shen Miao right now.

Grand Madam Shen who was sitting in the hall secretly saw that her son was forced into such a situation, she looked at Shen Miao with a hint of anger in her eyes. After suppressing it, he said deeply, "Enough!"

The hall returned in silence, Shen Gui heaved a sigh of relief and everyone looked towards Grand Madam Shen.

Grand Madam Shen knew nothing about the affairs of the Court and the outside world, but she was a good player in the inner courtyard. Shen Miao's words to Shen Gui and his wife made him unable to resist raising his eyebrows. The more Shen Miao showed her wise side, the more her heart felt evil. It was because Shen Miao now held Shen Xin's reputation and could threaten Shen Gui's troubles. So for the time being, Grand Madam Shen did not dare to act rashly.

He coldly said, “Fifth girl, what your Second Shu said is rational. Considering your young age, the staff can be forgotten but since the Eldest girl suffered in your place, you will go and kneel in the ancestral hall to atone for the crimes against your Eldest Brother. From today on, you are locked up and copying the Buddhist scriptures while kneeling in the ancestral hall. Every time the Eldest Girl recovers, it will happen when you are released. ”

That meant keeping Shen Miao permanently locked up.

Ren Wan Yun was somewhat dissatisfied but Shen Miao's words were so shocking that he now did not dare to act rashly. At this moment his heart was in a mess and he was unable to think of a better method. Even though he had a grievance with Grand Madam Shen's words, he knew that this was a temporary ploy so he could only boil over and say nothing.

"Oh." Shen Miao's voice was slightly dragged, but the words were clearly soft but one did not know why when others heard it, there were hundreds of different feelings within. He said, “Understand. I will 'redeem' for Brother in front of Buddha.

Now every word that Shen Miao spoke seemed to have another meaning. Ren Wan Yun inevitably had a layer of goosebumps all over his body. She didn't know what to say so she could only cry.

“Alright, alright,” Big Lady Shen was a bit unbearable today and could not stop Shen Miao and thus felt a stone blocking her heart. Seeing Ren Wan Yun cry, he felt even more frustration in his heart and said, “Second Son, get your Furen out. What's with all the crying in Rong Jing Tang! You all go! Fifth Miss, now you go to the ancestral hall to kneel and do not even have to bother to have dinner today!”

Everyone retreated and Shen Miao did not care much about the matter. He left Rong Jing Tang and headed towards the Western courtyard.

Shen Wan said heavily, "The Fifth Miss has truly matured."

"Yes." Yeah." Chen Rou Qiu's lips were intrigued, "This time Fifth Miss could be considered a real eye-opener."

"Mother ..." Shen Yue softly spoke, "Fifth Sister is a bit scary." In the Wo Long Temple, her calm expression and ability to let Shen Qing suffer losses yet come out of it unscathed made Shen Yue feel a hint of fear. He had no idea since when did the fool and easy to talk to Tangmei acquire such an ability?

"What is Yue-er afraid of?" Shen Wan patted Shen Yue's head. It was clearly a loving gaze but her words were extremely gloomy, "She was just a little girl who had no idea how high the sky was and would sooner or later pay the price."

*****

Shen Miao had actually done what Grand Madam Shen had arranged and entered the ancestral hall of the Shen family.

The Shen family came from a military lineage and the revered ancestors were all descendants of successive dynasties. This ancestor fought on horseback for the Shen family and laid down such a prosperous family treasure. Unfortunately reaching this generation, it just so happened that the Shen family was not far from falling.

Old General Shen's generation had actually grown by leaps and bounds at first. Unfortunately in one of the wars, several brothers from the Shen family were killed and only Old General Shen survived. Old General Shen had three sons and only one took the military line. Now the Shen residence inherited the original glory on the surface but other than the formidable Great General Shen Xin, it was only an ironic in-and-out family.

"Is Young Miss numb from kneeling?" Gu Yu asked.

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu also followed to the ancestral hall. Shen Miao was worried that Ren Wan Yun would take action behind him, even though he had deliberately pulled Jing Zhe and Gu Yu in order for them to escape the fate of being killed. But in Shen's large residence, each of them had their own ulterior motives so he kept them by his side. No matter how long Ren Wan Yun's hand was, he would not dare to do anything in front of him.

“Even not numb, the humidity is also high here.” Jing Zhe complained as she looked at the small window, “Now it is raining and the ground is wet. What would happen if a person contracted the disease from kneeling? Besides, they really have nothing better to do. What does this have to do with Young Miss, this is the case of the guilty party who filed the lawsuit first. Wait until Master returns, see if they still dare.”.

"You have to say a few words less." Gu Yu blamed, "If anyone gets caught, Young Miss will be harmed."

Shen Miao smiled and did not care about it.

Jing Zhe thought for a moment and asked again, “But today is also beyond anyone's expectations. So many of them went to Rong Jing Tang today but there was no one by Young Miss's side and could even leave unscathed. Although kneeling in the ancestral hall was also bad, compared to what this servant thought, it was already much better. ”

Before he entered Rong Jing Tang to be cursed, Shen Miao did not bring along the maid. So Shen Miao's servants had no idea what was going on inside.

"Young Miss must have convinced an entire room full of people." Gu Yu said in awe, "To face so many people and not even be afraid, Miss now has more Master style."

So many people? Shen Miao laughed in his heart. It was just Shen's small residence and nothing more than a few jumping clowns that could not be seen in public. At the moment when Fu XiuYi wanted to replace the Crown Prince, the officials stood by the side of Mei Furen and Fu Chen. His Fu Ming was under house arrest and he wore the formal attire of an Empress and faced the officials from the throne and argued with the officials who were crying blood with every word.

How small is the power of one person? Just as she was obviously the most honorable woman in the world and married the most honorable man in the world but she could not even protect what was appropriate for her son. No one stood by his side and he could not retreat because he had people to protect.

It was because at that moment he was unable to protect his precious people so now he would use a more intense manner. Cruel? Cruel? A hypocrite? Cunningly? It doesn't matter, as long as the blade is directed at the enemy and the fallen one is the opponent, even if the process is cruel, he will bear all the sins, what difference does it make?

He closed his eyes. The ancestral memorial tablet was in front of him as Shen Miao softly pondered, "Our ancestor, if your spirit is still here, then, please give me the sharpest arrow and the fastest horse to kill the enemy with my hand."

After saying it and opening her eyes, she saw Jing Zhe looking at her while blinking her eyes. He took out a bag of snacks from his hand and smiled, “Young Miss has long been starving and can't go without eating. This servant has some snacks here for Young Miss to fill her stomach. ”

It wasn't because of Grand Madam Shen's orders that she completely stopped eating. He grabbed the paper bag and when he opened it, he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, "This ..."

"This is what this servant found in Young Miss's room at Wo Long temple." Jing Zhe scratched his head and said, “At that time, Young Miss gave this servant a snack. After this waiter tried a piece, this one had never tasted a good snack like this and could not bear to eat it. After returning to the residence and heading to the ancestral hall with Young Miss, this one has no time to bring food from outside and only this remains.”

Shen Miao looked at the small and complicated snack. That was what Xie Jing Xing had left after he spoke to her. Thinking about it, it seemed like he could see the young man's handsome face in the rain curtain and his mysterious identity.

Xie Jing Xing. Shen Miao muttered to herself doubtfully, what kind of person she really is.
