"Auntie Shen, can I go and take a look at Shiyan's room?"
"Of course, you can."
Shen Qinghe nodded and took Lu Miao to the next room.
Gu Shiyan's room was in elegant grayish-blue color. It was clean and tidy.
Carved and hollowed-out partitions separated the room into a small living room, a resting area, and an office area.
Except for a divine image hanging on the wall behind the desk, there were no weird items scattered around like in the living room.
Lu Miao pointed at the statue on the wall and said, " Aunty Shen, I heard from my grandma that you can't worship a statue in the bedroom. Although there was a study in the room, it was still a bedroom. Is it better to move this painting to another place?"
When Shen Qinghe heard this, she could not help but look at Lu Miao with more fondness.
Although Lu Miao did not know anything about Feng Shui and could only rely on what the elderly in her family said, she was using her limited knowledge to sincerely thought for Gu Shiyan.
In comparison, Lu Siyu only had a sweet mouth and knew how to coax people.
"This was specially placed here by his grandma earlier just to ease her mind. I told her it was useless and I'll have it removed later." Shen Qinghe replied.
Lu Miao walked around Gu Shiyan's room once more before heading back to her room.
Shen Qinghe thought that she was only curious, therefore she wanted to see Gu Shiyan's room. She did not think too much about it. She just sent her back and reminded her to rest well before going downstairs.
Although it was her first time meeting Lu Miao, she really liked this little girl.
Not only was she beautiful and well-mannered, but the fact that she was still willing to stay and help them after knowing everything and thinking about Gu Shiyan was enough for the Gu family to treat her well.
Lu Qin and Qin Shuang, her biological parents, were really blind. They mistook a piece of common junk for a priceless treasure; treated Siyu like treasure but abandoned the real treasure like worn-out shoes.
Before Lu Miao had a chance to nod, there was a loud shout from downstairs, "Lu Miao, you evil dog, get out of the Gu family immediately!"
Following that was a burst of rapid footsteps, and Gu Xingyu ran up the stairs aggressively.
Shen Qinghe frowned and said coldly, " Xingyu, what are you doing? I haven't settled the score with you for what you did earlier. Come over and apologize to Miao Miao immediately."
"Why should I apologize to her?" Gu Xingyu gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Miao, then turned to Shen Qinghe and said indignantly.
"She's the evil one who has ill intentions. As soon as I got in the car, she must have done some kind of witchcraft on my brother, causing him to kick me out of the car. Then, she just went ahead and said that my brother is going to die. That's obviously a curse, it's downright vicious!"
"I think you were chased out of the car therefore you grew resentment towards Miao Miao so you deliberately slandered her like this." Shen Qinghe snapped. Her daughter was good in every way, but she was too naive.
"Mom, how can you trust her and not your daughter? I asked the driver just now, and he told me himself. If you don't believe me, go ask him now." Gu Xingyu's complaint was unsuccessful and was instead reprimanded which made her explode with anger.
Shen Qinghe replied calmly, " Even if she said that it's the truth. Otherwise, why would we ask her to help your second brother?"
She was not someone who could not differentiate right from wrong. She believed that no matter what Lu Miao said, she meant no harm.
"She didn't come to our house to help at all. When she was in the countryside, she always fought around and caused trouble. After arriving at the Lu family, she was lazy and only knew how to spend money and snatch things. She snatched Siyu's engagement because she coveted our Gu family's money and wanted to kill brother so that she could inherit our family's inheritance…"
Gu Xingyu looked at Lu Miao with a gaze that seemed as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
Before she could finish speaking angrily, Shen Qinghe raised her hand and gave her a tight slap on the face.
Her expression was cold and her voice was sharp. " I think I've spoiled you too much and indulged you. That's why you're so rude. I'll say it again. From today onwards, Miao Miao is your sister-in-law, your elder, and the future mistress of the Gu family. Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it. "
Bringing Lu Miao over to the Gu family had already wronged Lu Miao. She could not let her suffer in the Gu family again.
Gu Xingyu covered her burning face and glared at Lu Miao fiercely.
She was the youngest and only girl in the Gu family. Since she was born, everyone had doted on her.
Her brothers and Shen Qinghe had never said anything harsh to her.
Now, Lu Miao had just entered the house, and her brother chased her out of the car and Shen Qinghe had even slapped her for her.
This damned country bumpkin, she was irreconcilable with her!
Shen Qinghe reprimanded, " Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect on your past. When you realize your mistake, you may stand up. "
Lu Miao narrowed her eyes. Ancestral hall?
In ancient times, the ancestral hall was a place to worship the ancestors. In modern times, almost no one worshipped the ancestral hall at home. She did not expect the Gu family to still maintain such a custom.
Gu Xingyu left angrily. Shen Qinghe sighed and said to Lu Miao.
"I've made you suffer."
No matter what Xingyu slandered, she did not argue for herself, nor did she show any resentment.
This child was so sensible that it made one's heart ache.
After sending Shen Qinghe off, Lu Miao returned to her room.
She casually opened the wardrobe and saw that all kinds of princess dresses occupied almost half the space.
Lu Miao searched for a long time and found a set of simple sportswear in the corner. She took a shower and changed her clothes.
She took the phone from the table and the screen showed 99+ notifications.
She opened the messages. Other than a text message about receiving two million yuan, the rest were all from the same person.
"Master, are you there?"
"Master, you're simply too godly! My father listened to you and didn't go south today. He took a detour and went north. Along the way, he heard that there had been a serial car accident on Baiyun Road in the south. More than ten ambulances had gone there. Not only did he successfully avoid a car accident today, but he also successfully clinched the deal with Changyuan Company."
"Previously, I was blind and doubted you, but from today onwards, you are my idol! I'm your most loyal fan!"
"Master, two million has been transferred to your account. Do you have time recently? My father said that he wanted to thank you in person. At the same time, he wanted to ask you to help check if there are any problems with the feng shui of the house and the company."
"Master, Master!"
...
"Master, please reply to me."
Lu Miao wiped her wet hair with a towel and sat down on the sofa. She replied, " I don't have time recently. "
The other party immediately replied, " Master, you're finally willing to talk to me! It's okay. I'll send you the photos of my home and company. Please help me take a look first."
After she finished speaking, the photos were immediately sent over.
It was obvious that he was well prepared and took pictures of almost every corner of the house and the company.
Looking at the photos was naturally not as accurate as going to the scene directly, but it was not a problem to get a general idea.
Lu Miao looked at each photo patiently.
" From the pictures, there is nothing major wrong. I'll go to the site to take a look when I have time. "
"Okay, boss. Three million has been transferred to your account."
The crisp sound of the notification tone for the incoming money sounded the next second as if the person was afraid of being refused if she waited for a second longer.
"Boss! Idol! If you need any help, please contact me at any time. I'm free 24 hours a day!"
Before Lu Miao could put down her phone, it rang again.
Sweeping a glance, it was Qin Shuang.
Since she had already left the Lu family, she naturally had nothing to do with them anymore.
She hung up and blocked the call in one go.
She also blacklisted Lu Siyu and Lu Qin's numbers.
Surprisingly, Lu Miao only saw Shen Qinghe at the dining table during lunch and dinner.
Grandma Gu and the other siblings of the Gu family who had helped to facilitate this marriage were nowhere to be seen.
Probably because of Gu Shiyan's illness, the atmosphere at home was very depressing.
The servants were all very careful and did not even dare to speak loudly.
As the night fell, Lu Miao returned to her room, opened the window, and looked up.
The night sky above seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth, hiding the moon and stars. It was pitch-black.
All the light seemed to be directly swallowed up after entering the Gu family.
Lu Miao thought for a moment, then raised her hand and formed a seal, slapping it into the air.
In her eyes, the pitch-black clouds above her head instantly dispersed.
A few beams of light lit up in different parts of the city, and the lights intersected and gathered in the night sky.
It looked like a formation.
However, this formation seemed to be somewhat incomplete.
She looked up at the eaves that blocked his view. She held the window with one hand and flipped out. At the same time, the thin thread on the bracelet popped out.
She tapped the wall lightly with her toes and jumped onto the roof In a few moves.
