Chapter 231: Unbearable (3)
Shen Gui heard Shen Yuan's sarcasm and felt a little annoyed, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend that he didn't understand Shen Yuan's meaning and said, "In that case, let's go quickly."
On the other side, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were also preparing to set off.
"Qiu'er, go to the Prince's Mansion. The second son has gone to the police station, and the third son has entered the palace to inquire about the news. Someone needs to keep an eye on the Prince's Mansion. Your father and I will go to the palace first. This matter is of great importance. If there are spies infiltrating the city, it will be disastrous." Luo Xueyan instructed Chen Qiu: "Negotiate with the Prince's Mansion and investigate the deceased members of my Shen family. We will also have to send money for compensation."
"Don't worry, mother, leave this to me." Chen Qiu responded readily.
After Shen Xin and his wife left, Shen Qiu also straightened his clothes and prepared to go out, but suddenly he heard Shen Miao's voice behind him: "Brother."
"Sister?" Chen Qiu was startled, turned around and asked, "Sister, why are you out here instead of staying in the house?"
“Big brother, are you going to the Prince’s Mansion?” Shen Miao asked.
"That's right." Shen Xin replied, "There are still some things to deal with. I will be back soon after I finish these things."
Shen Miao looked at him and said, “Brother, take me with you.”
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said seriously: "Sister, I know that you have a deep grudge with Prince Yu's Mansion. Now that Prince Yu's Mansion has come to such a conclusion, to be honest, I also think they have brought this upon themselves. If you want to see their end with your own eyes, I will watch it for you. There is no need for you to go there in person."
Shen Miao smiled: "I just want to go and take a look."
"That's really nothing to see." Shen Qiu deliberately frightened her. "I heard that those people died in a very tragic way last night. They were all disemboweled, and the blood pooled for several feet. I'm afraid that they died unjustly, and their souls are still in the mansion. If you go there, you will see ghosts." Although the people in Prince Yu's mansion died tragically, it was definitely not as horrific as Shen Qiu described. Shen Qiu also wanted to scare Shen Miao. He really didn't want Shen Miao to see those bloody scenes. How could a delicate young lady from an official family bear to see the scene of death?
Yet, after he finished speaking, Shen Miao, who was sitting opposite him, remained expressionless. It was as if he was describing a perfectly normal scene. Shen Miao even smiled. "As the children of a military commander, if we are frightened by a mere dead person or ghost, wouldn't that be disparaging? Could it be that even on the battlefield, Big Brother is afraid of seeing the dead?"
"Of course not!" Shen Qiu said immediately. As soon as he said it, he knew he had said the wrong thing. Seeing Shen Miao looking at him calmly, he said, "If that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of. Big brother, take me with you."
"No, sister, what are you doing at Prince Yu's mansion?" Shen Xin said in embarrassment: "There's really nothing there."
"I'm just going to take a look. Don't worry about me, big brother. As you said, there are officials guarding the place now, so there won't be any danger. It won't be any trouble if you take me there."
Shen Miao spoke with great resolve, word for word. Shen Qiu had also discovered from her recent actions that Shen Miao was a determined person with a very stubborn temper. Once she made a decision, no one could change it. Even if he didn't let her go today, he thought she would still go secretly someday without his knowledge. It would be safer to have him accompany her today.
"Okay." Chen Qiu stared at her. "Don't wander around when you get to the palace. I'll let Mo Qing follow you. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately."
Shen Miao smiled: "Okay."
…
In a single night, Prince Yu's mansion seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Everything inside and out had become completely different. Yesterday, it was still bustling with guests, filled with laughter and joy, and one could still see the bustling traffic and guests chatting and laughing in front of the gate. Now, the vermilion gate was covered with white seals, and the guards at the door all had solemn expressions, fearing that some sudden and brutal attack would occur.
