Chapter 102: Unharmed (5)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that her son was forced into such a situation, Old Madam Shen, who had been sitting in the hall silently, looked at Shen Miao with a trace of anger in her eyes. Then, she suppressed it and said in a low voice, “Enough!”

There was another silence in the hall. Shen Gui heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone looked at Old Madam Shen.

Although Old Madam Shen knew nothing about the imperial court and the outside world, she was an expert in fighting internal strife. Shen Miao’s sharp response to Shen Gui impressed Old Madam Shen. However, the smarter Shen Miao was, the angier Old Madam Shen was. Because Shen Miao could threaten Shen Gui with Shen Qing’s reputation, Old Madam Shen didn’t dare to act rashly for the time being.

She said coldly, “Miao, your second uncle is right. However, forget about whipping because you are still too young. From today onwards, you will be grounded. Every day, you will kneel in the ancestral hall and copy Buddhist scriptures. When Shen Qing recovers, you can come out.”

She actually wanted to lock Shen Miao up forever.

When Shen Yue heard that, she was a little disappointed. She wanted to see Shen Miao being beaten up by the whip and unable to get out of bed, or being expelled from the family. Who knew that the punishment would turn out to be just confinement? When Shen Xin returned in a few months, Shen Miao’s confinement would naturally be lifted. At that time, everything would be the same as before.

Ren Wanyun was also a little unhappy, but what Shen Miao said just now shocked her so much that she did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, her mind was in a mess, and she could not think of a better way. Although she was a little unhappy with Old Madam Shen’s idea, she knew that this was a temporary solution, so she held back and did not say anything.

Shen Miao didn’t refute.

“Alright, alright.” Old Madam Shen was also quite impatient. Today, she did not manage to get rid of Shen Miao, which made her feel like there was a heaviness on her chest. Looking at Ren Wanyun’s crying face, she was even more annoyed. She said, “Shen Gui, bring your wife out. Rongjing Hall is not a place for her to cry! All of you, get out! Miao, go to the ancestral hall. Don’t eat today!”

......

Everyone took their leave one after another. Shen Miao did not dwell on this matter. After leaving Rongjing Hall, she walked towards the west courtyard.

However, she did not know that everyone’s eyes were on her.

Shen Wan said in a low voice, “Fifth Miss has really grown up.”

“That’s right.” Chen Ruoqiu smiled. “Fifth Miss really broadened my horizons this time.”

“Mother…” Shen Yue said softly,” Fifth Sister is a little scary. “The calm expression on her face made Shen Qing feel a little afraid. She didn’t know that her cousin, who had always been a coward, was so capable.
