At this moment, not only would Shen Miao not be able to help, but she would also make Luo Xueyan and the others feel more burdened. Therefore, Shen Miao smiled and said, “Is that so? Brother, you have to keep your word.”

Seeing Shen Miao like this, Shen Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Qiu knew that Shen Miao was smart, but he did not want her to be involved in the matters of the imperial court. Moreover, the affairs of the imperial court were never about one person. There were casualties at every turn and countless people were implicated. It was not that easy to explain.

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin also comforted Shen Miao. “Jiaojiao, stay in the mansion and don’t go anywhere. When Father and Mother come back, we’ll go to shop for new clothes together.”

Shen Miao nodded and watched as the eunuch left the mansion with Shen Xin and the others.

Chen Ruoqiu held Shen Wan’s hand and said worriedly, “Why are they suddenly summoned to the palace? Did something happen?”

Shen Wan shook his head. Shen Gui said, “Brother is in the limelight to begin with. He doesn’t know how to behave himself in the imperial court. I’m afraid if something really happens, no one will stand up for him.” What Shen Gui meant was that if something really happened to Shen Xin, the two brothers, Shen Gui and Shen Wan, would not help him.

Shen Miao sneered in her heart. Shen Yue said timidly, “If something happens to First Uncle, it should be a very serious matter, right? Will we be implicated?”

“Of course you won’t be implicated.” Shen Gui smiled and said, “If someone should be implicated, it should be Shen Miao.”

After losing his son and daughter in a row, Shen Gui became resentful. His career was not going smoothly, and he was jealous that Shen Xin’s official rank was higher than him and had more prestige than him. Now that he saw that Shen Xin was in trouble, he was naturally overjoyed. He even hoped that Shen Xin’s family would be wiped out.

A trace of gloating flashed across Shen Yue’s eyes. She looked at Shen Miao sympathetically. “Isn’t Fifth Sister very pitiful?”
