Chapter 204: Family Extermination (1)
In the teahouse, Ji Yushu suddenly realized something. Previously, Shen Miao had said she was going to fabricate news, but it was targeting Prince Yu's Mansion. Now, the news she was selling to the Chen family was also related to Prince Yu's Mansion, which was just to incite hatred towards Prince Yu's Mansion. It seemed Gao Yang was right. The Shen family and Prince Yu's Mansion had a deep hatred. They were setting up a trap here, waiting for Prince Yu's Mansion to fall. But thinking about it, Ji Yushu felt a little depressed. Those who came to Bai Xiaosheng to do business were always sincere in buying and selling news, and they were grateful to this place for providing information. Unlike Shen Miao, who was directly using Bai Xiaosheng as a tool, using Bai Xiaosheng to win over the Chen family and to deal with Prince Yu's Mansion.
But... Ji Yushu thought in his heart, even if the Chen family in Jiangnan is wealthy and powerful, and Prince Yu's Mansion has been notorious for so many years, and there is the royal family protecting it behind the scenes, unless there is really a blood feud, who would rush in when seeing danger?
"Is what Miss Shen said true?" Chen Yueshan's voice was hoarse. Prince Yu's reputation as a cruel and lewd man was known to the entire court. If the Chen sisters fell into his hands, their fate could be imagined.
"I don't have to lie to you."
“But how can you prove that what you said is true?” Chen Yuehai suddenly shouted excitedly. Perhaps he couldn’t believe it after hearing the news, or he didn’t dare to believe it, but he was particularly fierce towards Shen Miao.
“The Chen sisters are both beautiful, but they are well protected by the Chen family. Prince Yu has always loved excitement, and it took him a lot of effort to kidnap the Chen sisters. After that, they were quickly taken to Dingjing City overnight. While the Chen family was still searching for the sisters in Yuzhou, the Chen sisters had already arrived at Prince Yu’s mansion.” At this point, Shen Miao paused and continued, “After that… Prince Yu’s methods of torturing women were terrible. The Chen sisters almost wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by Prince Yu. Later, the elder sister tried to please him, hoping to let her younger sister escape. In fact, Prince Yu knew that the two of them were together. It was planned by someone else, but she feigned ignorance. After that, her elder sister was given to Prince Yu's men, tortured, and beaten to death. Her younger sister was humiliated on the way to escape, and lost both eyes. She found a place to work as a night incense seller, always hoping to survive, because this was the life her elder sister had fought for her. But…" Shen Miao sighed softly, "She actually never left the gate of Prince Yu's mansion. The so-called night incense seller and the neighbors around her were all arranged by Prince Yu, just to tease the younger sister of the Chen family and see her living in the swamp with hope."
Her voice was calm and slightly cold, with only a hint of regret at the end, yet it sent chills down one's spine. Ji Yushu was also horrified. Although he knew of Prince Yu's absurd and horrific methods of torturing women, this was the first time he had heard someone describe it in such detail as Shen Miao had. You know, killing someone is easy, but making them live a life worse than death is much harder. And that little sister of the Chen family, thinking she had escaped death, lived on with hope, hoping that perhaps one day she could avenge her family and return home, unaware that her hope had already been seized upon by someone else, and that everything she did was merely a means of amusement in Prince Yu's eyes.
These words silenced the Chen brothers. Chen Yuehai slowly reached out his hands, covered his head, and suddenly howled in pain. His voice was like that of a wounded beast, bringing tears to anyone who heard it. Ji Yushu couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at him.
Shen Miao looked at him and sighed inwardly. The Shen sisters had lived a life of luxury, like the apple of their eye. They had lived an innocent and carefree life, and could have been the happiest women in the world. Yet, their lower bodies were so miserable, worse than those of ordinary girls. Excessive beauty was a sin, but what sin had the Chen sisters committed?
"Miss Shen..." Chen Yueshan was more stable than Chen Yuehai. Even so, his voice was trembling: "How can we prove that Miss Shen is telling the truth? All of this is just Miss Shen's one-sided statement." Even the most stable person, when hearing news he doesn't want to believe, will probably keep avoiding it like Chen Yueshan, thinking that this way he won't have to face it.
