“Chen Miao!” Fu Xiuyi shouted angrily, as if he had been poked in a sore spot. He snorted coldly and said, “You’d better take care of yourself.” After that, he turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
Shen Miao fell to the ground, clenching her fists. This was the man she had loved all her life. She and Madam Mei had competed for his favor in the palace, but in the end, she realized that it wasn't a competition for favor, but that this man's heart had never been with her! All those sweet whispers were just jokes played on the spot!
She spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with you, sister? You look so miserable." A gentle voice sounded.
The woman was wearing a light yellow blouse, with a face as pretty as a lotus and a waist as slender as a willow. She looked like a fairy, and her posture was graceful and charming as she walked slowly.
This is Madam Mei who has been fighting with Shen Miao for her entire life and is confident of victory.
Behind Madam Mei stood two women dressed in palace attire. Shen Miao was startled: "Shen Qing, Shen Yue!"
These are the second and third wives, the daughters of the second and third uncles, and her two cousins. How come they are in the palace?
"His Majesty has summoned my sister and me to the palace," Chen Yue smiled, covering her lips. "Fifth sister, don't be surprised. In the past few years, Fifth sister loved to find matchmakers for my sister and me, but now there's no need. His Majesty treats my sister and me very well."
"You..." Shen Miao's heart was in turmoil. In a flash, she seemed to understand something she had never thought clearly. Her voice was filled with disbelief: "You, you are delaying marriage just for today?"
"That's right." Shen Qing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty and my father, Third Uncle, made an alliance back then. If we can convince you to marry His Majesty, one day, my sister and I will have the same fate."
When Shen Miao was able to marry Fu Xiuyi, the Second and Third Houses had played a significant role in that process. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that her initial admiration for Fu Xiuyi was sparked by her Second and Third Aunts constantly mentioning the talented young men of Prince Ding. So, was this an agreement reached long ago? So, had the Second and Third Houses been harboring evil intentions since the beginning, waiting for everything to happen today?
Shen Qing, however, seemed afraid that Shen Miao didn't understand, so she continued, "Your Majesty is handsome and graceful, and my sisters and I have long admired him. Unfortunately, only my eldest uncle holds the power, so I had no choice but to let my fifth sister take the lead. My fifth sister has enjoyed a lot of blessings in the past few years, and now it's time for her to have her turn."
“Shen Qing!” Shen Miao suddenly straightened up and said loudly, “Your Majesty raided the Shen family, but allowed you two to enter the palace. How could the second and third houses be safe?”
"Of course the second and third houses will be safe," Shen Yue covered her mouth and laughed, "because we are great heroes. The evidence of uncle's rebellion was pointed out by our two houses for the sake of justice. Fifth sister, His Majesty is even going to confer high positions on our two houses."
Shen Miao looked at her two cousins in shock and said, "Are you crazy? When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? The Shen family is a family. Fu Xiuyi wants to deal with the Shen family, and you actually framed your own family members..."
"Family, Fifth Sister, we have never acknowledged the eldest wife as our family." Shen Qing sneered, "Besides, you have enjoyed too much. Now that the prince is dead, the princess is gone, and the Shen family is gone, you should go to the underworld as soon as possible and reunite with them."
Madam Mei stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister, the kingdom has been decided, and it's time for you to step down."
After ten years of fighting, Shen Miao finally lost miserably. The loss was so tragic that her family and clan were wiped out. The loss became a huge joke!
She said bitterly: "As long as I am alive, you will all be my concubines!"
"Eunuch Chen, go ahead." Madam Mei winked at the eunuch.
The fat eunuch immediately stepped forward, one hand tightly grasped Shen Miao's neck, and with the other hand, he put the white silk on the plate around Shen Miao's neck. With a strong pull, the white silk tore at the flesh and bones, and the bones made a crisp sound.
The woman struggling on the ground widened her eyes and silently swore a poisonous oath in her heart.
Her son, her daughter, her parents, brothers, sisters, servants, and everyone in the Shen family were killed.
Fu Xiuyi, Madam Mei, Shen Qing, Shen Yue, all those who had harmed her, those who had harmed her family...
If there is an afterlife, blood debt will be repaid with blood!
