Venomous Empress Reborn

Feng Anning always felt that she was very afraid of Shen Qiu.

Speaking of which, it was strange. She was the daughter of the Feng family and had been pampered since she was young. Mr. and Mrs. Feng doted on her, which made her arrogant.

However, there were two people, in front of whom she would be humble.

One was Shen Miao. Feng Anning did not even remember how she became friends with Shen Miao. Shen Miao, who was called stupid and uncultured, suddenly stopped doing ridiculous things like before. Moreover, because they were studying in Guangwen Hall together and were deskmates, Feng Anning gradually realized that Shen Miao was actually quite smart.

Since Feng Anning was young, she had always admired people who were mysterious. The fact that Shen Miao had changed drastically made her interested in Shen Miao and want to get to know her more.

Feng Anning didn't like the other young ladies in Guangwen Hall, but she liked Shen Miao very much. Shen Miao neither flattered her nor curried favor with her. Feng Anning felt that Shen Miao was more straightforward than those young ladies who often followed her around.

The second person who she didn't dare to provoke was Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu always had an extremely good reputation among the elders and juniors. Even with such a notoriously stupid sister, it did not affect his reputation at all.

Feng Anning had seen Shen Qiu once or twice in the past and felt that he was a handsome young man. He looked as warm as the sun and was very easy to talk to.

Later on, as she gradually became familiar with Shen Miao, she also had more chances to meet Shen Qiu. However, the more often they met, the more she felt inexplicably afraid of him.

Firstly, Shen Qiu was not as polite to her as those young masters of noble families. Perhaps it was because Shen Qiu was a general to begin with and was rough. Secondly, he did not treat her differently because she was Shen Miao's good friend.

Feng Anning, who was proud and arrogant, could not tolerate this.

However, every time she wanted to lose her temper, she would stop when she looked into Shen Qiu's sharp eyes.

Feng Anning did not understand why either. In the capital, it was no exaggeration to say that she was the female version of Xie Jingxing. She was not afraid of anything, but why was she so afraid of this pair of siblings?

The eldest brother of the Feng family said that she was a tyrant at home and a coward outside.

Feng Anning was angry. Every time, she would retort that the next time she saw Shen Qiu, she would definitely point a finger at him and scold him. However, when she really saw him, she shrank back.

Even Shen Miao's cousin, Luo Tan, felt that something was wrong and said, "Why is it that every time Anning comes to the Shen mansion, she's quieter than usual?"

Shen Miao said with a faint smile, "It's more precise to say every time she sees my brother, she is quieter than usual."

Feng Anning flew into a rage out of humiliation. "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a right to be quiet whenever I wanted."

Luo Tan shouted behind Feng Anning, "Cousin Qiu, what brought you here?"

Feng Anning froze and was about to run when she saw Luo Tan pointing at her happily. "Cousin Miao is right. Is the pampered girl of the Feng family actually afraid of Cousin Qiu?"

Feng Anning stood up angrily and swore to never speak to Luo Tan again.

...

What happened after that was a little beyond Feng Anning's expectations. She went out with Shen Miao, and because of her negligence, Shen Miao fell into the hands of the kidnappers. Feng Anning naturally blamed herself, and Shen Qiu's attitude made her even more frightened.
