Chapter 240 Soft Heart (6)
She used to be his favorite girl, but now he could abandon her without hesitation. Old Madam Shen's selfish character was truly despicable. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan both looked at him with disdain, but said nothing, just watching the fun.
Shen Yuan glanced at Chen Ruoqiu, his gaze also very gloomy, making Chen Ruoqiu pause for words, a little apprehensive. Shen Yuan walked over to Ren Wanyun and helped her up. He looked at Old Madam Shen and said, "Grandmother, don't worry. Things are not that bad yet. My sister is only suspected, not convicted. My sister has nothing to do with this matter. I think the truth will come out in a while. I will investigate this matter seriously and will not let my sister be wrongly accused."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Shen's expression softened. Of all her children and grandchildren, her favorite was her youngest grandson, Shen Yuanbo, but the one she was most proud of and valued was the extremely capable Shen Yuan, despite his young age. Besides, Shen Yuan was always willing to please her, so she nodded and said, "If that's the case, then you should investigate thoroughly. If Miss Qing is truly innocent, I naturally don't want her to be wrongly accused." After a pause, she looked at Ren Wanyun and sneered, "But I think your mother is insane. If she's truly not in her right mind, then don't go out. Stay home and avoid causing me any trouble."
Ren Wanyun was filled with anger and resentment, her face flushing crimson. She didn't know when Old Lady Shen had become increasingly dissatisfied with her, now even wantonly humiliating her in front of all her children. Even Chen Ruoqiu looked at her with a mocking gaze.
Ren Wanyun didn't catch her breath until she was helped back to Caiyun Garden by Chen Yuan. She grabbed Chen Yuan's arm and said, "Yuan'er, find a way to save your sister. How could Qing'er be so capable? How could she be the murderer!"
"Mother, don't worry." Chen Yuan comforted her, "Since my sister has been wrongly accused, she is not afraid of being investigated. She is now under suspicion only because the real murderer has not yet been revealed. In this case, if the real murderer is found, my sister's grievances will naturally be resolved."
Hearing this, Ren Wanyun felt as if she had found a lifeline, and her eyes suddenly lit up again. She asked happily, "When will the murderer be found? How long will your sister be imprisoned? When will you find the murderer?"
Chen Yuan stared at Ren Wanyun. She looked extremely haggard, having not worn makeup in ages. Her skin looked aged and dull, her hair tangled and disheveled. She had never seen the meticulous refinement she once had. She had always been someone who cared about her appearance and wealth, but now, in this slovenly state, she looked like a completely different person.
The cause of all this was nothing more than a young girl who was once called a fool.
Shen Yuan felt a bit of a headache. He prided himself on being smart and quick-witted, but he hadn't expected that upon returning to the capital, he would find himself in such a mess. Ren Wanyun's status in the palace had plummeted, and Shen Qing was pregnant before marriage, but now she was involved in the tragic case of the Prince of Yu's family being wiped out.
For some reason, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the day when Shen Qing got married. He was talking to Shen Miao, and Shen Miao had said at that time: "No one can predict the things in the world. People are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time. You never know, there may be no way forward."
Now, Shen Qing truly had no way out. Even if there was a way, it would be extremely difficult. She was the only one left alive in the entire Prince's Mansion. At this point, Shen Yuan saw clearly that the person who had spared Shen Qing's life was not out of mercy or sympathy. This life was a death warrant for Shen Qing.
At least, there is a huge difference between what you get from dying as a result of a family massacre and dying on the charge of murder.
The person who had done this had clearly intentionally put Shen Qing in such a difficult situation. But Shen Qing was just a little girl. Who would be so cruel to a little girl? Shen Miao? How could Shen Miao drive so many assassins to kill the people from Prince Yu's Mansion for her? With such a large team, it would be difficult to do so.
Shen Yuan's eyes were heavy. Regardless of whether the person behind this was Shen Miao or not, he would get to the bottom of this matter. Since that person was targeting Shen Qing, it wasn't necessarily that he wasn't targeting the second branch of the Shen family. Although Shen Qing's current situation was difficult, it wasn't completely hopeless. He was determined to find out who was behind this, and then, repay them a thousandfold.
This is what Chen Yuan thought, but what he didn't expect was that, as Chen Miao said, no one can predict the future of the world. People are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any moment, and there may be no way forward.
On the second day, his road was blocked and became a dead end.
