Chapter 339: Life for Life (3)

"Young lady!" Jingzhe jumped into the house and said, "The people outside are making such a commotion that even the old lady was alarmed!"

Without even raising her eyelids, Shen Miao asked, "Oh? How is the old lady?"

"When I heard that the second young master had killed someone, I fainted immediately." Jingzhe felt a little gloating.

"Miss, this matter won't involve us, right?" Gu Yu was worried. After all, they all knew why Chen Yuan killed people, and it was Chen Miao who was behind the scenes fanning the flames.

"It's okay, someone is blocking it for us. Sun Tianzheng is in a high position and powerful, and the Shen family is no less powerful than them. Besides, the final goal is still Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan pays for his life with his life, and they have nothing to say."

"But will the Second Young Master really pay with his life for another's?" Gu Yu asked, "The Second Master won't let the Second Young Master die so easily."

“If it weren’t for Shen Yuanbai, Second Uncle would have done his utmost to absolve Second Brother of his guilt,” Shen Miao said, “But with Shen Yuanbai, Second Uncle has a way out. Losing a son to appease the Sun family’s anger is worth it in Second Uncle’s eyes.”

Of the three sons in the Shen family, Shen Gui showed the most indifference to family affection. Shen Wan, after all, doted on Shen Yue, but Shen Gui showed no genuine concern for his own children, whether they were his legitimate children, Shen Yuan, Shen Qing, and Shen Yuanbo, or his illegitimate daughter, Shen Dongling. To Shen Gui, his children were either his career supporters or his heirs. It was no wonder that the second wife's children showed no affection towards him.

If Shen Yuanbai hadn't been around, Shen Yuan would have been Shen Gui's only son, and Shen Gui would have fought tooth and nail. But with Shen Yuanbai, Shen Gui had another son, so Shen Yuan seemed unnecessary. Besides, how could the Sun family be so easily dismissed? In his previous life, it was Shen Qiu who killed Sun Cainan. Sun Tianzheng's family had Shen Qiu imprisoned, and Shen Xin had to spend all his family wealth to save his life. Sun Tiansheng only had one legitimate son. With his only son dead, how could he easily let the murderer go?

"But is the second young master the only one who is unlucky?" Jingzhe said something shocking: "Did you just let your cousin go? She is still hiding in the mansion and refuses to come out." After the accident, Jing Chuchu actually slipped back by herself and hid in the Shen Mansion with the Jing family.

“How could that be?” Shen Miao smiled faintly: “After all, she is the culprit.”

Outside the mansion gate, Shen Wan dissuaded him in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Listen to me, everyone. The situation has not yet been clarified. Please go back first. We will definitely give you an explanation!"

A woman spat in Shen Wan's face with a "Pah" sound, and said with her hands on her hips: "Debts must be paid, and murder must be paid with life! Our young master was killed by Shen Yuan, and he must pay with his life! This matter is not over yet!"

Chen Gui flinched, cursing Chen Yuan in his heart. Outside, besides the Shangshu Mansion's servants, there were also some Bai Xins who were watching the excitement. Someone started to shout, "Didn't they say the murder was caused by jealousy? What does the beauty being fought over look like? How about we feast our eyes on her? She must have been so beautiful that he risked his life for her!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them immediately echoed them. The people in the Shangshu Mansion also suddenly realized that the Sun family was in chaos. Sun Cainan, who had been fine when he left home, turned into a cold corpse when he turned back. At this moment, they were in a state of grief. They were so focused on getting Shen Yuan to pay for his life that they had overlooked Jing Chuchu. Now, hearing this reminder, they remembered that since Sun Cainan and Shen Yuan had fought because of Jing Chuchu, and Shen Yuan had accidentally killed Sun Cainan, then Jing Chuchu was the beauty who brought disaster upon them!

The Sun family members immediately said, "Yes! Hand over that bitch! She seduced our young master. Shameless little whore! Hand her over now!"
