Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 686

686 Suspicion (1)

Shen Miao had always hated the third branch. It was not a surprise that she was apathetic to their demise. However, Shen Dongling was different. Although she and Concubine Wan were suppressed by Ren Wanyun in the Shen family in the early years, Shen Dongling had never shown any dissatisfaction. It was precisely because of this that her behavior today seemed odd.

A few heads rolled down the stage and into the crowd. Exclamations burst out from the crowd, and the timid women were already screaming with their eyes covered. Because the Shen family were sinners, they were not allowed to be buried. Instead, their corpses would be incinerated.

Looking at the corpses being dragged away by the executioners, Shen Dongling seemed to have lost interest. She looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile, “When I was in the Shen mansion, because I was sick all year round, I didn’t get to interact with Fifth Sister a lot. Now that I’m married, it’s even more inconvenient to go look for you. However, Fifth Sister always has a place in my heart. When you have time, feel free to come look for me in the Wang mansion.”

As Shen Qiu listened from the side, he frowned. Shen Dongling was a timid person, but she was able to wrap her husband around her fingers right after marriage. Shen Qiu was not a fool. He felt that Shen Dongling was not as simple as she looked. She looked delicate and unharmful on the surface, but her personality was very cold. He did not like her and didn’t want Shen Miao to be close to her.

!!
When Shen Miao heard that, she only smiled indifferently and asked, “From the looks of it, Young Master Wang treats Third Sister very well.”

Shen Dongling lowered her head shyly. “The Wang family is kind.”

Shen Miao smiled coldly. The Wang family was kind? That was probably not the case. In her previous life, she did not pay too much attention to Shen Dongling. Under Ren Wanyun’s suppression, Shen Dongling probably did not dare to make trouble. However, Shen Dongling was like Fu Xiuyi and was good at hiding her ambition. She did not know if after her death, Shen Dongling could get the upper hand in the battle against the Shen family.

“Congradulations.” Shen Miao said casually, “We still have something to do, so we will get going first. Enjoy your time.”

Shen Dongling said, “Fifth Sister, see you around.”

Shen Miao did not want to talk to her anymore and took the lead to leave. Shen Qiu nodded and said goodbye with a calm expression. Luo Tan and Luo Ling quickly followed suit. After Shen Miao and the others left, Shen Dongling’s personal maid, Xing Hua, pouted in anger. Originally, Xing Hua was humble and timid. Now that she followed Shen Dongling to the Wang family, she was not as timid as before and was even a little arrogant.

Xing Hua complained, “Madam is treating Fifth Miss so nicely, but Fifth Miss doesn’t appreciate it. It’s really infuriating.”

“She’s the legitimate daughter, and I’m the daughter of a concubine. Of course she look downs on her.” Shen Dongling was not as angry as Xing Hua.

“But you’re also the young madam of the Wang family now. We can’t let people treat us like before, right? Besides, when Fifth Miss gets married in the future, she won’t even have a sister to keep her company. She’ll probably be laughed at by many people. Not only did she not try to please you, but she even gave you the cold shoulder.”
