Chapter 208: Family Extermination (5)
"You..." Ji Yushu stared at Shen Miao, speechless for a long while. He felt that this little girl, who looked much younger than him, was truly a monster.
"The deal is done, it's time for me to leave." Shen Miao stood up: "Shopkeeper Ji needs to move faster, at least before the Prince's Mansion is wiped out."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left without even looking at Ji Yushu. Hong Ling had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw her come out, she knew the deal was done, so she led her out again.
In the secret room, Gao Yang was silent for a while, then said, "I don't think it's a good thing that the Shen family is so powerful. There are more people than monks these days, so I think the Shen family can't stay for long."
"Whether to stay or not is up to me." Xie Jingxing said lazily, "It's not bad to use the Shen family to deal with the old dog Prince Yu."
"Maybe the Shen family will treat you like this one day."
"If they dare, I don't mind wiping them out completely." Xie Jingxing's beautiful black eyes flickered: "Is the thing still missing?"
Gao Yang shook his head.
"On the day the family was exterminated, I personally went there." Xie Jingxing sat up straight and played with the jade cup in his hand: "I just don't believe it. Can it still fly?"
“Do you really think that Prince Yu’s Mansion can be wiped out? Shen Miao’s plan is clever, but when it comes to actions, accidents will always happen.”
"Accident?" Xie Jingxing chuckled softly, his half-closed peach blossom eyes as intoxicating as wine. However, beneath his long eyelashes, his eyes were sharp as a knife, like a cat catching a mouse, and he jokingly said, "Ever since I met her, she has never had an 'accident'."
…
Time always passes by so quickly.
The General's Mansion was a strange place. Before anything happened, everything was naturally covered up as harmonious and peaceful. In the past, the relationship between the several branches, at least from the outside, seemed good. But then a fire destroyed the Shen Family Ancestral Hall, wiping out the trust Shen Xin and his wife had in the second and third branches. At least the relationship with the first branch was strained.
Now that Shen Qing had lost her innocence and was about to marry Prince Yu, anyone with common sense knew this was not a good thing. However, Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue were still happily busy preparing for Shen Qing's marriage. Although it was a royal marriage, they should always show some joy, but when it came to family, there was no need to act so cheerfully. This would seem a bit too cold.
Ren Wanyun was arguing with Shen Qing and Shen Gui. Old Madam Shen favored Shen Gui and became increasingly dissatisfied with her as a daughter-in-law. She did not even mention returning the power of the household to Ren Wanyun. Chen Ruoqiu, favored by the old madam, naturally became more attentive to her. Ren Wanyun was furious and could not help but show her resentment when dealing with Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen was even more ruthless and directly kept Shen Yuanbai in Rongjing Hall and did not allow Ren Wanyun to see him.
At this point, Ren Wanyun had become a complete loner in the vast Shen Mansion. Even some of her former servants had secretly taken refuge with the now-powerful Wan Yi Niang. Ren Wanyun spent her days in Caiyun Garden either cursing or crying bitterly with Shen Qing, looking a bit mad.
None of this has anything to do with Xiyuan.
Shen Xin and his wife consciously kept their distance from the Second and Third Houses, their attitudes were lukewarm. This incident had probably made them see clearly the Second and Third Houses' cold and indifferent nature. At least in the eyes of Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan, if what had happened to Shen Qing had happened to Shen Miao, they would never have tolerated it and would have fought tooth and nail to seek justice for Shen Miao. Furthermore, Shen Miao was now much more sensible and her attitude towards them was no longer as distant as before, which made them feel that asking Emperor Wenhui for the grace to stay in Dingjing City was well worth it.
Inside the room, Bai Lu said, "The eldest young master just picked out a few more precious pieces of jewelry for the young lady, and also gave her a few banknotes. I've put them in the box for her."
