Shen Qiu scratched his head and asked curiously, “Who? Why have I never met them?”

Luo Xueyan also said, “I’ve never heard of them either. Why did they come all of a sudden?”

Shen Xin did not have too much of a reaction. Old Madam Shen was his stepmother, but Old Madam Shen’s background was destined to make her unrepresentable. All these years, there was no news of her family at all. He only knew that Old Madam Shen was originally from Suzhou. He didn’t know why her family sent the juniors over. However, since Old Madam Shen said so, they could only go.

Shen Qiu put down his sword and went back with Shen Xin to change his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Shen Miao standing at the door with a cold expression. He couldn’t help but walk over and ask, “Sister, why are you suddenly unhappy? Aren’t you smiling just now?”

Shen Miao came back to her senses and glanced at Shen Qiu. She smiled and said, “Nothing. I’m fine.”

When they arrived at Rongjing Hall, they could hear Old Madam Shen’s laughter from afar. Ever since Shen Qing’s death, Old Madam Shen had been wearing a dark expression every day. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were both a little puzzled. When they stepped into Rongjing Hall, they saw that Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Gui were both there. A man and a woman were standing in front of Old Madam Shen. Seeing that Shen Xin and the others were here, Old Madam Shen said to the two people in front of her, “This is your first uncle and his family.” She then said to Shen Xin, “This is my brother’s grandson and granddaughter, Guansheng and Chuchu.”

Jing Guansheng, Jing Chuchu.

When the two of them heard that, they quickly turned around and bowed to Shen Xin and the others.

Shen Miao stood still and sized up the two of them calmly.

Jing Guansheng was 18 years old this year, and Jing Chuchu was 16 years old this year. They were both in their prime. Jing Guansheng was ordinary and a little chubby, but his skin was fair and he looked quite scholarly. He was wearing a brown robe. The fabric was not bad, and the cut was simple but just right. However, there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes, which made him look quite unlikeable.

Jing Chuchu was very good-looking. She actually resembled Old Madam Shen quite a lot. However, compared to when Old Madam Shen was young, she was more of a sheepish type. She was wearing a primrose-colored dress that looked quite exquisite. She greeted timidly and bowed, her eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up.

When she greeted Shen Miao, Shen Miao smiled and said, “Cousin, why are you only looking at the ground? I’m not six feet under yet.”

Jing Chuchu was stunned. Flustered, she looked up at her and then at Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen immediately frowned and said, “Chuchu is a little afraid of strangers. Fifth Miss, be polite.”

Old Madam Shen’s protectiveness towards Chuchu immediately made Shen Xin and the others’ expressions change. They would not let Shen Miao feel aggrieved because of a relative who was not related to them by blood. Their attitude towards Jing Chuchu immediately turned cold.

Old Madam Shen did not notice it at all, but Shen Yuan frowned and glanced at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao smiled and said, “Afraid of strangers? It’s fine. We’ll get to know each other in a few more days.”

Shen Miao’s tone was friendly, but when people heard it, they felt like there was an extra layer of meaning to her words. Jing Chuchu smiled shyly at Shen Miao, then lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, as if she would blush if she took another look. On the other hand, Jing Guansheng smiled at Shen Miao gently.
