Chapter 972 - 972 Birthday (5)

972 Birthday (5)
Madam Ye shook her head and said in a low voice, “Prince Rui never said that. It was the princess consort who said it.”
Luo Tan was really angry. She rushed back but didn’t see Shen Miao. She did not know any of the madams and ladies here, and she could not speak rashly, afraid that she would cause trouble for Shen Miao. Now that she heard these people talking behind Shen Miao’s back, she really could not take it anymore.
“Is she really not coming?” A madam asked.
Just as Luo Tan was about to retort, she heard a gentle and smiling voice coming from the door. “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m late.”
Everyone subconsciously looked at the door.
The young woman lifted the bead curtain and walked in with a smile.
She was young and extremely delicate-looking. Her eyebrows were like the crescent moon, and her eyes were clear like autumn water. She was wearing a purple lily dress with dark patterns and dark purple gourd earrings. Her outfit was not gorgeous and could even be considered simple. However, with her arrival, the hall seemed to have lit up. Not only did the purple color not dim her, but it also made her skin as fair as snow and her face as beautiful as a painting. As she walked over step by step, every step was elegant and beautiful.
Shen Miao raised her chin slightly and walked to the seat next to the head of the table. Her expression was proud. There were high-ranking officials and nobles in the room, but compared to her, they looked inferior.
She took the wine from Luo Tan and smiled. “I came late and will punish myself with a glass of wine.” She finished it elegantly.
Luo Tan blinked. She felt that Shen Miao was especially good-looking today, and her aura was different. No matter what, Luo Tan was proud of her little cousin. She also raised her head and straightened her back.
Shen Miao smiled and glanced at everyone present. Jingzhe and Gu Yu had been busy the entire afternoon making her hair. She had to show all the high ranking officials her best side. More importantly, Consort Mei was also present.
She would not allow herself to be outdone by Consort Mei at all. No matter how badly she lost in her previous life, she would not allow herself to repeat the same outcome in this life.
Li Mei also looked at Shen Miao in a daze, looking surprised.
Shen Miao smiled at her, but her heart was cold. The two of them really dared to appear in front of her so openly time and time again… Did they really think that with the Ye family protecting them, they would be safe?
Luo Tan tugged at Shen Miao and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, “Cousin, did you quarrel with Brother-in-law? Why does it look like something is going on between the two of you?”
Shen Miao turned to look at Xie Jingxing. He was listening to a bureaucrat casually and did not even look over. Shen Miao was saddened by his indifferent attitude. She did not know if Tie Yi had given him the letter. If he already received the letter but was still like this, tonight… Shen Miao was not sure if she should explain it.
