Chapter 88 - Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (9) (1/2)

“That’s right.” Shen Miao looked at her. “I came from the south pavilion.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ren Wanyun smiled. “Weren’t you staying in the north pavilion last night?”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a smile on Shen Miao’s face. Ever since Shen Miao woke up after falling into the water, her expression had been very cold. Most of the time, she only smiled faintly. However, for some reason, that smile made people’s hearts tremble.

Ren Wanyun’s heart sank like it was tied to an anchor.

“Madam, bad news. Miss is missing!” Two girls shouted in panic. They were none other than Yan Mei and Shui Bi, Shen Qing’s maids.

“What did you say!” Ren Wanyun suddenly screamed.

Shen Yue was stunned. Shen Qing was gone? She stole a glance at Shen Miao. She looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

“How did Qing go missing?” Ren Wanyun grabbed Yan Mei’s collar, her gaze as fierce as a mother beast.

“Oh, I know how,” Shen Miao suddenly said.

Everyone’s eyes fell on her.

In the silence, Shen Miao smiled. “I came from the south pavilion just now. Why? Because I slept in the south pavilion last night.”

“Last night, I really couldn’t sleep, so I went to look for First Sister, hoping to change rooms with her. First Sister agreed. She probably thought that she would be more at ease with Second Aunt sleeping next door. This morning, I went out and met Second Sister, so I came over with her. I wanted to come over and thank First Sister for being so considerate.”

With every word she said, Ren Wanyun’s heart sank deeper. In the end, despair overwhelmed her. The flesh on her face trembled slightly, and her eyes were red like a wild beast that was about to go crazy.

Seeing Ren Wanyun like this, Shen Yue was a little afraid. She probably guessed that something big had happened. However, when she saw that the second madam, who had always been at odds with her mother, had fallen into such a state, she couldn’t help but gloat. She went along with Shen Miao and said, “That’s right. This morning, I saw Fifth Sister walk out of the room next door. She’s here to have breakfast with Second Sister.”
