Chapter 344: Division (2)

Shen Miao slowly squatted down, her eyes level with Shen Yuan's, and said with a smile: "Second brother must have had a hard time in there these days. Second Aunt is crazy, Second Uncle refuses to come to see you, and Seventh Brother is still young. Speaking of which, the old lady loves you the most, but the old lady issued an order yesterday that no one is allowed to mention your name in the mansion. It seems that she has given up on you. I have thought about it in my heart. After all, you and I are brother and sister, so I am here to see you off for the last time."

Shen Yuan glared at Shen Miao with gritted teeth. Words could kill, could destroy a person's beliefs. And what Shen Miao was doing right now was stabbing him in the heart without hesitation. Although Shen Yuan himself was cold-hearted, when he was imprisoned, not even a single person came to visit him, which was quite chilling. Although the old lady had treated him well in the past, it was also because of his talent. Now that he was imprisoned, the old lady would definitely cut ties with him to avoid any trouble.

"Thinking about it this way, my second brother and eldest sister are indeed biological siblings, and they have both been imprisoned. However, when my eldest sister was imprisoned, my second aunt was still working hard to help, but now no one is working hard for you."

Shen Yuan didn't say anything.

“Why isn’t Second Brother talking?” Shen Miao tilted her head to look at him: “Are you unwilling to talk to me, or…” She suddenly laughed: “Has he been given a mute potion?”

Shen Yuan was stunned. Shen Miao could actually guess that he had been given a mute drug. Before he could figure it out, Shen Miao's next words shocked him.

“It seems that Fu Xiuyi’s methods are still the same as before, there is no difference.” Shen Miao pondered.

Shen Yuan's eyes widened as he heard Fu Xiuyi's name from Shen Miao. How did Shen Miao know he was working for Fu Xiuyi? Furthermore, Shen Miao spoke with such familiarity that, judging by her words, she seemed to know Fu Xiuyi intimately. Shen Yuan's astonishment was beyond words. Within the Shen Mansion's inner chambers, Shen Yuan had never thought highly of Shen Miao, no matter how skillful she was. A young lady's status as a boudoir lady only reached that point. However, when Shen Miao brought up Fu Xiuyi's name, Shen Yuan could no longer treat her with composure.

"Second brother, there's no need to be so surprised." Shen Miao glanced at him and said, "Not only do I know Fu Xiuyi, I also know his plans. If you want to tell Fu Xiuyi about me and atone for your sins, it's too late. His Royal Highness Prince Ding is cautious by nature. Since he has given you a mute potion and will not rescue you, he will not send anyone here again in order to avoid attracting attention. Until you die, he will not have any contact with you. From the moment you became a useless child, he has no connection with you and will not allow you to get involved with him in any way."

Shen Yuan's heart began to beat wildly. Shen Miao was right. Fu Xiuyi was that kind of person. So after yesterday, he almost waited for his own death with despair. Don't think of a desperate struggle, because that would be a worse outcome than death. Fu Xiuyi was never as gentlemanly as he appeared to be.

He grew fingers and dipped them into the muddy water in the bowl to write a few words on the dusty ground.

What is your purpose?

Shen Miao suddenly laughed out loud. When she laughed, her eyes curved, the corners of her mouth curved, and suddenly it was as if she had returned to the time a year ago when she was still a fool, a little stupid, a little scheming, but indeed a girl who didn't understand anything. Now, although she still had the same demeanor, it made people feel a little cold in their hearts.

Shen Miao finally stopped laughing. She looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Didn't Second Brother guess what my purpose was?"

Do you want to deal with the second house? Chen Yuan wrote on the ground.

"It's not just the Second House." Shen Miao suddenly whispered, her eyes suddenly flashing with a fierceness that couldn't be contained, and even the murderous intent overflowed. She said: "There's also the Third House, the Old Madam, and... Prince Ding."
