âI have the intention to do so.â Shen Yuan said truthfully, âItâs just that you are hiding it too well, and I canât do anything about it. As your cousin. If you donât mind, Iâd like to give you some advice.â
Shen Miao turned around and stared at him without blinking. âPlease go ahead.â
âWhen I returned to the capital this time, I realized that you have changed a lot. You seem to have become a different person. Perhaps you have grown up, or perhaps you have acquainted with someone wise who can help you. However, I have journeyed further in this life than you after all. There are some things that I know better than you.â He paused and looked at the wedding hall. There, the sound of glasses clinking, of people laughing and chatting, of officials complimenting each other could be heard from afar. Shen Yuan continued, âFifth Sister, are you happy that Qing is getting married today?â
âTo be honest, Iâm satisfied instead of happy.â Shen Miao said with a faint smile.
A trace of fierceness flashed across Shen Yuanâs eyes, and then he smiled. âFifth Sister, you really donât know how to restrain yourself. The grudge between you and Qing has reached the point where none of you will stop until one of you is dead. Now that Qing is forced to marry Prince Yu, you think this is a victory. But in my opinion, this is just a childish thought.â He patted Shen Miaoâs head, as if he was really a good brother of hers. âBut after Qing marries Prince Yu, she might have a chance to make a comeback. But you, Iâm afraid you will be in deep trouble.â
Shen Miao didnât say anything. Shen Yuan continued, âIf I were you, I wouldnât have given Qing a chance back then. I would have taken her life in the first place. You wanted to vent your anger and retaliate, but all of this will only cause you troubles that you could have avoided.â He looked at Shen Miao and smiled kindly. âI think youâre still young and merciful, but mercy is not what you should show to your opponent.â
Shen Miao looked at Shen Yuan, and her heart skipped a beat. Shen Yuan was indeed the smartest person in the second branch. He cared only about the ends and showed no regard to the means. If Shen Miao offended him, he would take her life using the quickest way. His methods were ruthless and straightforward. He was calm and rational, unaffected by emotions. It was impossible to provoke such a person.
She smiled and said, âSecond Brother, you are right. After all, Iâm still young. Iâm not as cold and merciless as you.â When Shen Yuan heard these sarcastic words, he smiled indifferently. However, immediately after that, he heard Shen Miaoâs calm voice. âAlthough Iâm not as cold as you, thereâs one thing that you and I have in common. I⦠donât like to leave any future trouble. Do you think Eldest Sister will be able to make a comeback after marrying Prince Yu?â
Shen Yue stared at her. âDo you think she wonât?â
âWill she?â Shen Miao asked back. In Shen Yuanâs memory, she had always been a calm and obedient girl, but this âWill Sheâ was filled with provocation and ridicule. Shen Yuan, who had always been composed, narrowed his eyes.
After saying that, Shen Miao chuckled and left the garden, heading back to the wedding hall.
Would Shen Qing be able to make a comeback? The corners of Shen Miaoâs lips curled up slightly. How could she give her a chance to do so? Mo Qing, who was following behind Shen Miao, was stunned. After being by Shen Miaoâs side for so long, Mo Qing had seen Shen Miao being ruthless, but most of the time, Shen Miao was calm. She would occasionally smile, but even with a smile on, she still looked unapproachable. However, at this moment, her eyes were curved, as if she was extremely happy, but he did not know what could make her so happy. Mo Qing glanced at Shen Yuan, who was still in the garden, and was puzzled. Why was Shen Miao suddenly so happy after exchanging a few words with Shen Yue?
