Chapter 959 Questioning (4)

Li Mei looked at her doubtfully, her charming eyes full of confusion and a hint of frankness, completely different from the contempt in Shen Miao's memory.

"Instinct." Shen Miao said coldly. Then, without even turning back, she walked past Li Mei with Jingzhe and Guyu.

Li Mei stood there for a while, shook his head, and left.

Shen Miao, who was standing far away, looked at her back, her expression as cold as ice.

Jingzhe and Guyu didn't dare to say a word. They didn't know why, but they always felt that when Shen Miao faced this unfamiliar Madam Mei, she seemed to become very scary. That kind of scary... was something they had never experienced from Shen Miao before.

“Are you leaving soon?” Shen Miao muttered to herself, then said coldly, “Can you leave?” She turned around and said, “Call Mo Qing over to me.”

Mo Qing quickly arrived at Shen Miao's room and said, "Madam, I have something I want to report to you."

Shen Miao said, “Put your affairs aside for now, I have more important things to do.”

Mo Qing was puzzled: "Madam, please speak."

"Kill Li Mei and Li Ke for me."

Mo Qing was stunned.

Shen Miao said, "I've thought about it again and again. Although this matter is not appropriate and may bring disaster to Prince Rui's Mansion, if these two people are left alive, it will only cause greater uncertainty. I would rather bear other crimes than let these two people live and become a greater disaster in the future. The claws of these two wolves have not yet fully grown. Once they grow fully, it will not be so easy to kill them."

"I don't want to consider whether this matter is well thought out or not. I just want to ask you, can you find a way to kill them?" Shen Miao asked in a low voice. Her voice lingered in the room, as if it came from hell, but it was filled with deep determination.

Wanyu and Fu Ming's dream reminded her that she couldn't be indecisive. Since there was no way to have the best of both worlds, she should kill them first. She could think about it later. Since the siblings were just the children of merchants, killing them would be much less troublesome. If they wanted to find someone to rely on later, it would be even more difficult.

Besides, Li Mei had said today that they would be leaving Prince Rui's mansion soon. Where would they go after leaving? Somewhere that would provide them with better protection? Shen Miao believed that the timing of killing also needed to be chosen carefully and that there was no time to delay. As long as Li Mei and Li Ke were alive, she would not be able to let go of the resentment and would become even more suspicious of Xie Jingxing.

In the choice between her past life and this life, she chose to kill Li Mei and Li Ke now. As for the role played by the Daliang royal family in her past life, she did not want to pursue it. This was the biggest concession she made for Xie Jingxing, and it was also the only concession.

Mo Qing suddenly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Shen Miao stared at him.

"That's exactly what I wanted to discuss with Madam. I just heard that the relative Li Mei and her brother are looking for is Ye Maocai, the current Prime Minister. They are Madam Ye's children." Mo Qing said, "The Ye family has already sent someone."

Shen Miao stumbled back a step and said, “What did you say?”

"I have failed to live up to your trust, Madam. I hope you will punish me!"

The room was silent for a long time, and Mo Qing hesitated to look up. He didn't know why, but he could almost imagine the disappointment in Shen Miao's eyes. That kind of powerlessness made him too embarrassed to look at Shen Miao's expression, as if he couldn't bear this helplessness at all.

It was unknown how long it took before Shen Miao's voice came from above. Her voice was desolate and tired. She said, "I don't blame you. They came prepared, and I was hesitant and missed the opportunity."
