522 Nightmare (5)

“I can’t take it anymore.” Luo Xueyan was almost at her last breath, and there was no more vitality in her eyes. “My child is gone, and there’s nothing to look forward to. It doesn’t make a difference if I live or not. It’s wasteful to feed me these expensive herbs.”

“Sister, don’t say that.” Chang Zaiqing said, “If Fifth Miss finds out that you think this way, she will be very sad.”

“Jiaojiao…” Luo Xueyan’s eyes hurt. Shen Miao took a step forward and wanted to hold Luo Xueyan’s hand, but her hand went right through it.

It was as if she did not exist.

“Jiaojiao hates me.” Luo Xueyan closed her eyes. “But what can I do? The Shen family can’t be tied to Prince Ding. Prince Ding can hide it from Jiaojiao, but he can’t hide it from me. Jiaojiao even hates her father now. She doesn’t even want to see me. What will Jiaojiao do in the future? There’s no way out for me. I…” The more she spoke, the more heartbroken she became. She suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently. When she opened the handkerchief again, there was a pool of dark red blood on it.

“Sister, don’t let these thoughts trouble you.” Chang Zaiqing held her and comforted her. “Perhaps Prince Ding really likes Fifth Miss. Besides, there’s no real hatred between parents and children. Fifth Miss will understand you in the future. This hatred is only temporary.”

Shen Miao glared at Chang Zaiqing. Chang Zaiqing sounded like she was comforting Ruo Xueyan, but in fact, she was adding fuel to the flames. In her previous life, when Shen Miao married Fu Xiuyi, although she also wanted the Shen family to help, Shen Xin refused, so she was quite angry. However, it wasn’t so much as hatred. Now that Luo Xueyan was on the verge of death, how could she not be sad when she heard that Shen Miao hated her?

Shen Miao’s eyes suddenly blurred. When her vision cleared, she saw a girl in autumn-colored clothes sitting on a chair opposite Chang Zaiqing, looking a little impatient. The girl was young. She had delicate facial features, but her makeup was extremely heavy, making her look a little strange. Shen Miao opened her mouth. Who else could this girl be but her?

Chang Zaiqing smiled and said, “Fifth Miss, don’t be angry with your mother. It’s just that military strength has always been very important. Your parents refused you probably because they have their own thoughts.”

“We’re all family. Since I married Prince Ding, he is considered half a member of the Shen family. Why do they still treat him as an outsider? I know that my parents have never liked me since I was young, so they abandoned me in the capital and left me alone.”

Chang Zaiqing smiled again. “Fifth Miss, what are you talking about? Although your parents are not as close to you as Eldest Young Master, blood is thicker than water no matter what.”

“I don’t care.” The young Shen Miao said arrogantly, “They all say that Auntie Chang is the smartest. Can you think of a way for me to get my parents to agree to lend the troops to Prince Ding?”

Chang Zaiqing seemed to be in a difficult position. A moment later, she said, “Fifth Miss, if you throw a tantrum, perhaps your mother will give in and agree. If not, just make a fuss like a child.” She smiled and said, “But I’m just spouting nonsense. Fifth Miss, you have to consider it carefully.”

Shen Miao, who was watching from the side, was so angry that her face turned ashen. Chang Zaiqing was clearly trying to sow discord!

Shen Miao remembered that in her previous life, Luo Xueyan did not tell anyone about her pregnancy. She wanted to wait until the pregnancy was stable before spreading the news, but something unexpected happened. Coincidentally, Prince Ding wanted to borrow troops from Shen Xin, but Shen Xin refused. Shen Miao went to consult with Chang Zaiqing, and Chang Zaiqing instigated her to kick up a fuss.
