Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 88: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night

“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.”

Shen Miao’s voice was as soft as a feather, but it hit Ren Wanyun’s heart hard, making her feel like vomiting blood.

“It wasn’t me who rested here last night. It was First Sister.”

Ren Wanyun held her chest and took two steps back, almost fainting.

The person who stayed here last night was not Shen Miao, but Shen Qing, her daughter!

If that was the case, the woman Prince Yu was sleeping with and torturing was her daughter! Those shrill and tragic cries came from her daughter! She was next door, separated from her daughter by a wall, but she let her daughter be humiliated! This… How could she accept this! This was unacceptable! This was impossible!

Ren Wanyun’s heart was about to break. She looked at the tightly shut door and for a moment, she did not have the courage to open it. She did not dare to think about the scene inside.

While her mind was in a mess, she still remembered not to let Shen Yue and Shen Miao see what was going on inside. If word got out, if it got out… She forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Girls, go have your breakfast. I just asked Qing earlier. She still wants to sleep. You don’t have to wait for her.”

Shen Miao smiled. “Second Aunt, you must be joking. Just now, you didn’t even know that First Sister was resting inside. Now you said you asked her. It doesn’t make sense. Are you hiding something from us?”

“No!” Ren Wanyun denied it immediately. Shen Miao’s gaze moved, and she shouted at the person who was walking over, “Nanny Gui! Please help Second Aunt open this door.”

Nanny Gui walked over with a hunched back. She had been instructed to come early today, and at this moment, she had yet to see the scene inside the room. Hearing Shen Miao say this, she thought that everyone had already known what happened. She felt guilty. From that angle, Nanny Gui couldn’t see Ren Wanyun’s expression. Otherwise, she would be able to see that Ren Wanyun’s face was ashen.

Because Nanny Gui was close to the door, it was too late for Ren Wanyun to stop her. With a creak, the door was slowly pushed open.

Everything seemed to fall silent.

An indescribable smell rushed out from inside the room.
