“It takes one to know one.” A trace of smugness flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. She asked, “Do you think Eldest Sister will be willing to do so for the sake of your official career?” She smiled gently. “I think she will. After all, you two are siblings.” After a pause, Shen Miao suddenly shook her head. “No, I don’t think she will. Elder Sister loves her life more than anything. Why should she sacrifice her life for your future?”
“Shen Miao, you won’t be lucky every ti.” Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, his tone as if he wanted to skin Shen Miao alive. He suddenly understood why Ren Wanyun hated Shen Miao to the core when she ntioned her.
“I don’t know if I’ll be lucky every ti.” Shen Miao looked at him. “But Second Brother, you have no choice now.”
With a bang, Shen Yuan kicked the door open and left without looking back. Shen Qiu was frightened and imdiately rushed into the room. Seeing that Shen Miao was safe and sound, he was relieved and asked curiously, “What did you say to him? Why is he so angry?”
“Oh, he is probably blaming himself for not being able to help his sister who is suffering in prison.” Shen Miao picked up her cloak without looking back. Seeing this, Shen Qiu asked, “Sister, are you going out?”
“Eldest Sister is in prison. As her cousin, I feel obliged to go and see how she is doing.” Shen Miao smiled. “After all, we are from the sa family.”

In the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop, Hong Ling placed the exquisite pastries and tea set on the table before quietly leaving. Ji Yushu picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. He spat it all out and said, “What’s this? It’s really disgusting.” Then, he looked at Xie Jingxing and said shalessly. “Third Brother Xie, can I borrow your chief for a few days.”
Xie Jingxing simply told him to get lost.
Gao Yang drank his tea and said, “Now that the entire capital is in shock after the massacre that wiped out Prince Yu’s mansion, you still have the mood to enjoy pastries. Ji Yushu, you’re really sothing.”
Ji Yushu threw him a glance and said, “What does that have to do with ? Why can’t I eat pastries?”
“Don’t forget that your pawnshop is also involved in this matter.” Gao Yang reminded him.
When Ji Yushu heard that, he retorted angrily, “Shen Miao is the mastermind and she doesn’t seem to be worried in the slightest. I heard that she even went to see Shen Qing in the prison early this morning. If I were Shen Qing, I would die from indignation.”
Xie Jingxing smiled and picked up a piece of pastry to eat. The taste was probably not to his liking. He frowned slightly, put down the remaining half, and stopped eating.
“How can you compare to her?” Gao Yang said coldly, “The Fifth Miss of the Shen family probably fears nothing. You have to know that this is the first ti I’ve t soone who can escape unscathed after stabbing our Third Brother Xie.”
“What?” Ji Yushu exclaid and looked at Xie Jingxing. “Third Brother, you were actually stabbed?”
Xie Jingxing glanced at Gao Yang. “Do you want to send you back?”
Gao Yang imdiately sat up straight. “I was talking nonsense just now.”
