Chapter 190: Taking the Dark Road (5)

“I don’t want to play chess with Big Brother.” Shen Miao shook his head and said, “Big Brother asked me earlier if I was going to just let it go. After playing a game of chess, what do you think?”

Shen Qiu was stunned at first, then startled, and said: "You..."

Heizi's initial stance was gentle, attacking without defending, but then he suddenly changed course, reversing the situation and devouring his opponent completely. This meant that Shen Miao's previous gentleness in dealing with Shen Qing, not because she intended to let it go, but... she was biding her time, waiting for the moment when those people's tactics against Shen Miao would become self-defeating, so she could strike again and reap a rich harvest?

"There are many ways to achieve our goals." Under the light, the girl held a black chess piece between her fingers. Her white fingers contrasted sharply with the inky black chess piece, creating a strange beauty. Her voice was understated: "If this path doesn't work, then try another one. If the obvious one doesn't work, then the covert one. They've already blocked their own escape route. Now, it's our turn to play chess."

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the beauty is as beautiful as jade. Shen Miao can only be called a pretty lady, but at this moment, even Shen Qiu couldn't help but look sideways. The girl's posture was quiet, but it seemed to contain huge energy. She had a delicate heart and had already hidden the chess game in her heart. Everyone became a chess piece.

Chen Qiu felt bitter in his heart. He had always felt that although Shen Miao was not close to him, her temperament was extremely simple. With such a temperament, she would probably be taken advantage of by outsiders. But now, he could see clearly that his sister had grown up unknowingly, and her scheming and tactics were beyond even his reach.

"Sister, I don't understand," she said.

"If you trust me, please leave this matter to me." Shen Miao said, "People like Prince Yu will definitely cause trouble for the Shen family in the future because of this matter. We must cut the grass at its roots. We don't need such enemies."

"Didn't you just say that Prince Yu's Mansion has the royal family's support, so I can't go looking for trouble directly. What are you going to do, sister?" Shen Qiu asked worriedly.

“I’ve said it before, if the white road is blocked, then take the dark road. There are thousands of roads in the world, and there is always one that can be taken.” Shen Miao said calmly: “Prince Yu is relying on the imperial family to bully others, but he is just a tortoise with a shell. Let’s remove his shell and see how arrogant he can be!”

As Shen Qiu stared in amazement, Shen Miao smiled at him, “But big brother, I need some silver, so…give me the things His Majesty rewarded me with real money, I can use them.”

Shen Qiu wanted to ask Shen Miao what she was going to do, but for some reason, meeting her sparkling eyes, he was speechless. He was the dignified Deputy General Shen, and when facing Shen Xin, he would occasionally argue with him until his face turned red and his neck became thick. But as long as Shen Miao looked at him quietly, Shen Qiu felt that he would obey her unconditionally. Shen Qiu secretly spat at himself in his heart. He was not afraid of the enemy generals, but he was afraid of a little girl? It really is true that when you live long enough, you will encounter all kinds of things.

"Brother?"

Shen Qiu came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to pick some and send them over later."

“Thank you, big brother,” Shen Miao nodded, “It’s getting late, big brother should go and rest.”

"good."

"Don't worry about the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion. Don't tell my parents. I will take care of it."

"……good."

Shen Qiu scratched his head and left. After leaving Shen Miao's room, he suddenly slapped his forehead and frowned. Damn, he really felt like he was being protected by his own sister!

Inside the house, Guyu asked cautiously, "Miss, do you really need that much silver tomorrow?"

Shen Miao's gaze froze. Gu Yu hadn't seen his daughter look so serious in a long time.
