“I have the intention to do so.” Shen Yuan said truthfully, “It’s just that you are hiding it too well, and I can’t do anything about it. As your cousin. If you don’t mind, I’d like to give you some advice.”

Shen Miao turned around and stared at him without blinking. “Please go ahead.”

“When I returned to the capital this time, I realized that you have changed a lot. You seem to have become a different person. Perhaps you have grown up, or perhaps you have acquainted with someone wise who can help you. However, I have journeyed further in this life than you after all. There are some things that I know better than you.” He paused and looked at the wedding hall. There, the sound of glasses clinking, of people laughing and chatting, of officials complimenting each other could be heard from afar. Shen Yuan continued, “Fifth Sister, are you happy that Qing is getting married today?”

“To be honest, I’m satisfied instead of happy.” Shen Miao said with a faint smile.

A trace of fierceness flashed across Shen Yuan’s eyes, and then he smiled. “Fifth Sister, you really don’t know how to restrain yourself. The grudge between you and Qing has reached the point where none of you will stop until one of you is dead. Now that Qing is forced to marry Prince Yu, you think this is a victory. But in my opinion, this is just a childish thought.” He patted Shen Miao’s head, as if he was really a good brother of hers. “But after Qing marries Prince Yu, she might have a chance to make a comeback. But you, I’m afraid you will be in deep trouble.”

Shen Miao didn’t say anything. Shen Yuan continued, “If I were you, I wouldn’t have given Qing a chance back then. I would have taken her life in the first place. You wanted to vent your anger and retaliate, but all of this will only cause you troubles that you could have avoided.” He looked at Shen Miao and smiled kindly. “I think you’re still young and merciful, but mercy is not what you should show to your opponent.”

Shen Miao looked at Shen Yuan, and her heart skipped a beat. Shen Yuan was indeed the smartest person in the second branch. He cared only about the ends and showed no regard to the means. If Shen Miao offended him, he would take her life using the quickest way. His methods were ruthless and straightforward. He was calm and rational, unaffected by emotions. It was impossible to provoke such a person.

She smiled and said, “Second Brother, you are right. After all, I’m still young. I’m not as cold and merciless as you.” When Shen Yuan heard these sarcastic words, he smiled indifferently. However, immediately after that, he heard Shen Miao’s calm voice. “Although I’m not as cold as you, there’s one thing that you and I have in common. I… don’t like to leave any future trouble. Do you think Eldest Sister will be able to make a comeback after marrying Prince Yu?”

Shen Yue stared at her. “Do you think she won’t?”

“Will she?” Shen Miao asked back. In Shen Yuan’s memory, she had always been a calm and obedient girl, but this ‘Will She’ was filled with provocation and ridicule. Shen Yuan, who had always been composed, narrowed his eyes.

After saying that, Shen Miao chuckled and left the garden, heading back to the wedding hall.

Would Shen Qing be able to make a comeback? The corners of Shen Miao’s lips curled up slightly. How could she give her a chance to do so? Mo Qing, who was following behind Shen Miao, was stunned. After being by Shen Miao’s side for so long, Mo Qing had seen Shen Miao being ruthless, but most of the time, Shen Miao was calm. She would occasionally smile, but even with a smile on, she still looked unapproachable. However, at this moment, her eyes were curved, as if she was extremely happy, but he did not know what could make her so happy. Mo Qing glanced at Shen Yuan, who was still in the garden, and was puzzled. Why was Shen Miao suddenly so happy after exchanging a few words with Shen Yue?
