    “I don’t care what others say. Since Second Brother insists on this, I can’t be bothered to exin. You won’t believe me anyway. Did youe all the way here today just to use me of that?”


    Shen Yuan endured the anger that was surging inside him. The girl in front of him had an indifferent smile on her face, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. Her eyes were as clear as water, reflecting Shen Yuan’s slightly disheveled appearance. Shen Yuan was proud and conceited, but now that he was tricked by a girl, he was naturally extremely indignant. However, at this point, he had to admit that he really underestimated his opponent.


    “Aren’t you afraid of implicating the Shen family by doing this? Should the truth be revealed, your family won’t have a good time either!” Shen Yuan said fiercely.


    Hearing this, Shen Miao seemed to have heard a funny joke. She chuckled and looked at Shen Yuan for a moment. When Shen Yuan could no longer hold back his anger, she said indifferently, “I didn’t do anything. In addition, what Second Brother said is really strange. Even if this matter is rted to the Shen family, what does it have to do with my first branch?” She said casually, “My parents and brother are in the Northwest all year round. No one will believe I, a young girl, can manage taking down Prince Yu. Even if the Shen family is really involved, Second Brother, I think the first branch will automatically be taken out of the equation.”


    Shen Yuan gasped.


    No matter how smart and cunning Shen Miao was, she could only y tricks within the confines of the Shen mansion, whereas the imperial court was the battleground for men. Shen Wan and Shen Gui would never be bothered to discuss political matters with Shen Miao. However, the remark made by Shen Miao just now clearly showed that her understanding of the situation was better than anyone.


    “So you had a backup n.” Shen Yuan’s expression changed and he sneered. “It seems like your first branch is going to just stand by and watch.”


    “We’ve never had the intention to stick our noses into other people’s business.” Shen Miao looked at him calmly. “Second Uncle and Third Uncle will be busy for quite a while. However, Second Brother, you should be the one who’s most worried.” She shook her head and said with a sigh, “As soon as you return to the capital, such a troublesome matter is immediately thrust upon you. This will absolutely hinder your official career.”


    She deliberatelyid stress on “official career’, which caused Shen Yuan to clench his fists in anger.


    Shen Miao suddenly turned around and touched the soft fur on her neck. She smiled and said, “But considering that we’re both surnamed Shen, I have an idea that can perhaps help you.”


    “I don’t dare to use your idea.” Shen Yuan stared at her. “If I’m not careful, I might lose my life.”


    “Second Brother, you must be joking. I’m not that scary. I came up with this idea for you sincerely. However, with Second Brother’s intelligence, I’m afraid you’ve already thought of it. Since the Shen family is already involved, we just have to get the Shen family out of it. Actually, Second Brother also knows that rumors can’t be taken seriously. It’s just that after the rumor is spread for a long time, people will inevitably be suspicious. To stop the rumor from continuing, all it takes is for Eldest Sister toe out and rify it.”


    Shen Miao looked out of the window. Shen Qiu was sitting under the tree with his eyes fixed squarely at the door. She smiled faintly. “I think the most convincing way to exin oneself is through the death of one’s own life.”


    “You!” Shen Yuan suddenly stretched out his fist, but he stopped at the top of Shen Miao’s head. He stared at Shen Miao and said, “You’re the first person I’ve seen who has such a vicious heart at this young age.”
