Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 288

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Princess Rong Xin liked Shen Miao very much and even asked Shen Miao to go to the princess mansion when she was free?

The Shen family was all standing at the entrance of the mansion, stunned by what the maid said at the end. Shen Yue almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. She naturally knew about Princess Rong Xin and how difficult it was to get close to this princess. Now that Shen Miao had used some kind of witchcraft to make Princess Rong Xin look at her in a different light, would she be able to get close to Prince Ding in the future with the princess’s help?

Shen Yue was really anxious this time.

Shen Dongling’s expression also changed drastically, and she heard Concubine Wan say with envy, “Fifth Miss is really lucky. She actually befriended a princess.”

Shen Yuan snorted and turned to leave without looking at the door. Shen Miao smiled at the Shen family. “Sorry that I’ve made everyone worry today.”

!!

When Shen Miao said that, Shen Xin and his wife immediately remembered the faces of the people from the Shen family just now and their expressions turned ugly. Seeing that Shen Miao was fine, everyone from the Shen family was disappointed. When they saw Shen Miao, they were so angry that they felt suffocated. After Old Madam Shen reprimanded Shen Miao, they all found an excuse to leave.

Shen Miao followed Shen Qiu and the others to the west courtyard. When she saw the anrg expressions on Shen Qiu and her parents’ faces, she understood.

Previously, she deliberately delayed the people from the princess mansion from telling the Shen family about her whereabouts in advance. It was impossible for Shen Xin to change his mind about the Shen family overnight, just like how she had always had hope for Fu Xiuyi to change in her previous life. It would take some time for Shen Xin to completely change his opinion about the Shen family.

This was a good opportunity to let Shen Xin see what kind of wolves the Shen family were. While he was still in the capital, the Shen family couldn’t wait to hit Shen Miao when she was in trouble. He wasn’t so stupid as to not know what could’ve happened if he wasn’t in the capital.

As expected, when they arrived at the west courtyard, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan asked her about some things tonight. After confirming that she was fine, they instructed Shen Miao to rest early. The two of them left. Before they left, they called Shen Qiu out. It was obvious that they wanted to discuss something.

After the three of them left, Shen Miao rolled up her pants when no one was around. The wound on her calf was bandaged by a white cloth, and it seemed to still have the warmth of a certain someone’s palm.

After the eventful night, she seemed to have understood Xie Jingxing better. However, the more she understood her opponent, the more she felt that it was dangerous. In the future… it was better to stay away from him.

…

In the east courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Yuan sat in his room, his expression dark.

After Ren Wanyun went crazy, he rarely visited her, and he was even more distant from Shen Gui. He was not a person who valued friendship and loyalty as he could even kill his own sister. In his mind, benefits outweighed everything.

Tonight, he thought that Shen Miao would not be able to escape unscathed. Unexpectedly, not only did she return unscathed, but she even befriended the princess. This made Shen Yuan feel a sense of danger, and his opponent was still getting stronger at a rapid speed.

In just a short period of time, Shen Miao had grown from a pushover to someone he didn’t dare to underestimate. She was scheming and ruthless. How could someone as old-fashioned as Princess Rong Xin side with Shen Miao in the end? He couldn’t help but wonder if Shen Miao would find someone stronger to back her up in the future and whether he would be her next target.

He felt shameful that he had to treat a little girl as his opponent. However, he had to admit that it was precisely this little girl who made the second branch almost collapse. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was next in line on Shen Miao’s list.

However, Shen Miao was not difficult to deal with. What was difficult was that she still had Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan behind her. He had to be careful. However… Shen Yuan looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly smiled.

Although the first branch of the Shen family had a lot of military power, if they did not have a successor… they would be useless. He wondered if Shen Xin and his wife would go crazy from the pain like Ren Wanyun after losing their children.
