Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 62: The Third Arrow

On and off the stage, everyone froze.

It was Cai Lin who broke the silence. He reached out to touch his left cheek, where the arrow had brushed past, revealing a trace of red blood.

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Miao actually dared to shoot. She did not stop the arrow halfway, nor did she deliberately miss. The arrow brushed past Cai Lin’s cheek.

Cai Lin shouted, “Shen Miao, what are you doing?!” Before he could finish his sentence, a second arrow swept over with a strong wind and brushed past his right cheek. Cai Lin immediately felt a burning pain on his right cheek. He reached out to touch it and was shocked to find that there was a smear of blood.

He was about to go crazy. He stared at Shen Miao in disbelief. Lord Cai wanted to stop her, but Prince Yu was still around, so he did not dare to move.

Ren Wanyun stood up immediately. “Is Fifth Sister crazy? How dare she really hurt Young Master Cai?”

“Shen Miao is really strong.” Mrs. Yi pretended to be surprised and said, “How can ordinary women have the guts to do that? If she hurts the young master of the Cai family, won’t your husband have more enemies in the Imperial Court?”

These words hit the nail on the head. They had thought that Shen Miao would make a fool of herself, but who knew that not only did Shen Miao not make a fool of herself, but she also hurt Cai Lin. If they offended the Cai family, how could Shen Gui and Shen Wan not be implicated? At the thought of this, Ren Wanyun was anxious. She wanted to shout to stop Shen Miao but was stopped by Chen Ruoqiu.

“Sister, what are you doing?” Ren Wanyun said unhappily, “Are you going to watch her get us into trouble? If Master asks, who can bear the responsibility?”

Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t be bothered to argue with her second sister-in-law. She was born into a family that was more noble than Ren Wanyun’s. She disdained such vulgar women the most. She said, “Second Sister-in-law is right, but you heard what Prince Yu said, didn’t you? Otherwise, why do you think Lord Cai hasn’t spoken until now and just watched his son get injured? Even if Second Sister-in-law speaks, do you think you have a say here? It’s better to wait and see.”

“Are we just going to sit back and wait?” Ren Wanyun knew that what Chen Ruoqiu said made sense, but she still couldn’t help but worry. “What if Shen Miao really killed Cai Lin?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t you see what Shen Miao did just now?” Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, “She clearly knows how to draw the bow. She’s just deliberately embarrassing that kid. She’s deliberately taking revenge. However, she will stop when she sees fit. Otherwise, he’d already be dead.” Chen Ruoqiu sighed. “We’ve offended the Cai family anyway. Let’s be patient and let nature take its course.”

Shen Qing and Shen Yue heard every word. They were still young and did not know anything about the bureaucracy. Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao on the stage. Today, she was calm and composed, and she was in the limelight. Shen Yue thought that if Shen Miao really shot Cai Lin to death, it would be good, because no one would dare to marry her in the future.

The more Shen Yue thought about it, the more expectant she became. She had long forgotten about Cai Lin, who was standing up for her. She even hoped that Cai Lin would use his life to make Shen Miao infamous.

Although the people below the stage were discussing, they did not dare to make a sound because of Prince Yu. Even the Cai couple was burning with anxiety and could only watch as their son stood on the stage as a target.

“Shen Miao, what exactly do you want?” Cai Lin’s face was burning with pain. Apart from anger, he also felt a trace of fear towards Shen Miao. He suddenly realized that there was nothing Shen Miao did not dare to do. She was clearly a lunatic. She would do anything!

Shen Miao’s voice was a little muffled, so it couldn’t reach the audience, but it could reach Cai Lin’s ears.

She said, “To teach you a lesson.”

Shen Miao suddenly raised her voice. “There’s still one more shot!”

Everyone present stared at the arrow. Cai Lin’s legs were about to go limp. He pinched himself hard to prevent himself from going limp, because he saw Shen Miao’s arrow aimed at his head.

He was very afraid. It was a fear towards the Shen family. This fear was overwhelming and occupied all his attention at this moment. He wanted to escape from this test platform, but Shen Miao’s arrow was aimed at him, as if it could chase him to the ends of the earth.

“Miss Shen is too strong-willed.” Although the adults in the men’s section admired Shen Miao’s calmness, they were also disapproving of what she was doing at this moment. It had to be known that it was not a good thing for a woman to be too strong-willed. The reason why she was insisting to continue the competition now was none other than to take revenge on Cai Lin for provoking her just now. However, Cai Lin did not cause her any harm. Shen Miao had caused Cai Lin’s face to bleed already. Although it was fine for boys to have a scar, it was still better to have a smooth face.

“That’s more like General Shen’s daughter.” Some people cheered for Shen Miao. “If General Shen finds out that his daughter gets bullied and doesn’t fight back, he will probably be furious.”

“But look, she’s aiming the arrow at Cai Lin’s head. She’s planning to kill Cai Lin. Isn’t that too vicious?”

Cai Lin’s legs were trembling as he looked at the girl in the distance, as if he was looking at a ghost.

Shen Miao said softly, “The third arrow.”

She loosened her grip and the arrow shot out, charging towards Cai Lin’s forehead, scaring him so much that he knelt down and screamed, “Help!”

“Lin!” Madam Cai and Lord Cai exclaimed in unison.

Everyone stood up and craned their necks to see what was going on on the stage.

Cai Lin collapsed to the ground, and the apple on the ground was pierced through by the black arrow.
