Shen Qiu’s expression changed as Shen Miao explained. In the end, he slammed his fist on the table. The smile on his face had long disappeared, and his eyes were red. “Sister, is what you said true?”
“I naturally don’t have to lie to you.” Shen Miao said, “The fire came out of nowhere. I suspect…” She smiled faintly.” After all, if I die, Eldest Sister will be able to marry who she wants.”
“This is too much!” Shen Qiu shouted angrily and turned to leave. Shen Miao grabbed him and asked, “Brother, where are you going?”
“I’ll go and argue with them. Whoever sets you up will pay with their blood!” Shen Qiu said.
Shen Miao looked at him and asked calmly, “How do you plan to argue? Where’s the evidence? Do you want to curse them all or kill them all?”

“Brother, think about it. Why don’t I want to tell Father and Mother about this?” Shen Miao said calmly, “Father and Mother are both straightforward people, and Father is very impulsive. Yes, they will stand up for me, but what about what happens next? The Shen family is a big family in Ming Qi, and there are many eyes watching us. Today, Father will seek justice for me, and tomorrow, people will talk bad about Father.” The corners of her lips curled up. “In this world, whoever has the number has the advantage. The third branch and second branch have more people than us. Do you think people will believe us or them?”
Shen Qiu was shocked by Shen Miao’s words. What surprised him even more was the expression on Shen Miao’s face when she spoke. That calm analysis hit the nail on the head. This was not something supposed to come out of a girl of Shen Miao’s age. He hesitated for a moment. “Sister…”
With a glance, Shen Miao knew what Shen Qiu was thinking. Shen Qiu was too upright, or rather, the entire first branch was too upright. In this world, good people did not have good endings.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and said, “Brother, you are curious how I become like this, aren’t you? Because that’s how I survived the days in the mansion.”
“After experiencing so many things, no one can remain the same. Brother, I’m not the person I used to be, and you’re not the person you used to be. Now, let me ask you something. Do you hate them after listening to me?”
Shen Qiu was stunned. He looked at Shen Miao and slowly gritted his teeth. “Yes.”
“Why do you hate them?”
“Because … how could they do this to you?”
Shen Miao shook her head. “That’s not the reason you should hate them.”
Shen Qiu was surprised. He suddenly realized that his sister was making him more and more confused. However, he felt that what Shen Miao said made sense.
“What you have to hate is that we trusted them and treated them sincerely, but what we got in return was false love that is worse than our enemies. For their own sake, they can take our lives. This is not family. This is worse than enemy.”

If possible, she even hoped that she could protect the young man in front of her well and make him a hero that everyone respected. However, she was really afraid that one day, the scene by the pond would repeat itself. She could only build a wall for Shen Qiu now.
“Sister, what do you want to say?” Shen Qiu finally asked.
Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Qiu was not really stupid. Once he understood, some things would be much easier.
“I hate them, and Brother wants to avenge me. Even if our parents want to stand up for me, they can’t possibly kill them all,” Shen Miao said. “I want to deal with these people personally, but I need Brother’s help.” No matter what, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan didn’t have any evidence. If they killed the second branch, they would have to pay with their lives according to the law. For her, Shen Xin might really do this. She could use her life as a bet, but she didn’t want to see Shen Xin and his wife in danger.
Moreover, the big fish had yet to take the bait.
“Sister, what do you want to do?” Shen Qiu asked.
Shen Miao smiled. “There’s no hurry. We have plenty of time. Let’s take it slowly but steadily and surely.”
