Only then did Ren Wanyun seem to notice Jingzhe and Gu Yu. She sneered and said, âYou even went to the trouble of protecting two maids. I want to see how long you can protect them!â With that, she glanced at Shen Miao strangely, turned around, and left.
After Ren Wanyun left, Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao in panic. Gu Yu said worriedly, âMiss, is it really good to fall out with her like this?â

âWeâll fall out sooner or later anyway. No matter how well we seem to get along with each other on the surface, she wonât show mercy on me when Iâm down and out. Why should I keep putting on a show? Itâs useless,â Shen Miao said.
She was not in the mood to play a game with Ren Wanyun. Now that Ren Wanyun had already lost her mind from anger, she would definitely take revenge crazily.

âBut⦠when we return to the mansion, Old Madam will definitely side with themâ¦â Jingzhe whispered. Old Madam Shen favored the second branch the most, not only because Shen Gui was Old Madam Shenâs biological son, but also because Ren Wanyun gave birth to two sons for Shen Gui. Needless to say, the eldest son of the second branch, who had taken a post at another place, would also return to the capital at the end of the year. With two grandchildren, Old Madam Shen would definitely favor the second branch.
Moreover, Ren Wanyun had a glib tongue. She could make everyone believe that it was Shen Miaoâs doing.
âSo be it. I didnât expect these people to stand up for me.â Shen Miao smiled.
When Gu Yu saw her smile, she felt a lump in her throat and suddenly said, âIf thatâs the case, Iâll use this matter to threaten them. If anything happens to Miss, Iâll tell the world about it even if I have to risk my life!â
âThatâs right.â Jingzhe also looked serious. âAlthough it is not the best idea, we definitely wonât let them off easy!â
Shen Miao was a little stunned. She didnât expect her maids to be so brave. After a moment of surprise, she smiled. Back then, in order to protect Shen Miao, Gu Yu admitted that she stole a jade artifact from the palace and was sentenced to death by the crown prince of the State of Qin. Jingzhe tried to rope in a powerful official for Shen Miao by using her body and was willing to be his concubine. She was beaten to death by the wife of the powerful official. The two of them were loyal to her to begin with. Unfortunately, in her previous life, she couldnât give them anything.
In this life, she had to protect these girls no matter what.
âNo need. I didnât intend to spread this news. Second Aunt wonât let it spread either.â
âThen doesnât that mean that this matter has to be kept a secret forever? But it canât be kept secret forever. If First Miss gets married, the secret will naturally be discovered.â Gu Yu was a little puzzled. Unless Shen QIng stayed single all her life, once she got married, her husband would find out that she was no longer a virgin.
âTherefore, they will definitely find a way to deceive everyone. As for what they want to do to me, they will definitely ask that person for help.â
âThat person?â Jingzhe asked, âWho is that person?â
âOf course itâs the person who humiliated First Sister.â Shen Miao chuckled. âDo you really think last night was an accident?â

Jingzhe and Gu Yu trembled. Although they had already vaguely guessed what was going on, they did not want to believe it. They did not believe that someone would harm Shen Miao like this. This method was too vicious. They did not believe that Shen Miao would be able to predict the future, nor did they believe that it was the second branch of the Shen family who did this. Although they knew that the people in the east courtyard were up to no good, they did not expect them to be so vicious as to use such a nasty way to deal with their own family.
