Chapter 250 Family (4)
Shen Qing was stunned and stared at Shen Miao without saying a word.
Shen Miao looked at her gently: "Everyone in our mansion knows how much Second Aunt loves Seventh Brother. If you want to sacrifice Seventh Brother for you, do you think Second Aunt is willing to take this risk? In fact, I am also very much looking forward to knowing the answer to this question. I wonder if Big Sister can explain it to me?"
Shen Qing's body began to tremble violently. She knew better than anyone how much Shen Yuanbai held in Ren Wanyun's heart. At Ren Wanyun's age, Shen Yuanbai was naturally a precious gift. Furthermore, although Shen Yuanbai was mischievous, he was also very lovable. Most importantly, he was a son.
This world is always particularly difficult for women. In Ren Wanyun's heart, her youngest son is always more favored. If Shen Yuanbo really had to sacrifice himself for her, Shen Qing knew the answer well: she would definitely be the one abandoned. But no matter how terrified she was, facing Shen Miao, Shen Qing was unwilling to show any weakness. She looked at Shen Miao and sneered, "What are you trying to say? Are you saying that I'm doomed no matter what? Shen Miao, don't forget, I have royal flesh and blood in my belly! My child has royal blood. Even for him, I will not make any mistakes!" After saying this, Shen Qing stroked her belly, revealing a loving smile. This was truly shocking. After all, just a few days ago, she was pounding her belly, wishing that this "bastard" was gone.
"Big sister, do you really think he's your life-saving talisman?" Shen Miao's light eyes fell on Shen Qing's slightly bulging belly, and she said lightly: "If it were in the past, with the importance His Majesty places on Prince Yu, he would naturally want to protect this child. But now... I'm afraid he will become your death warrant."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qing didn't understand what Shen Miao was saying, but from Shen Miao's determined eyes, she suddenly felt a fear in her heart. She intuitively felt that Shen Miao was not biased towards her, but why would the child in her belly become her death warrant?
Shen Qing naturally didn't know that rumors had spread through the palace and reached the emperor's ears, and as a result, some things had quietly changed. In the past, to protect Prince Yu's bloodline, Emperor Wenhui would naturally not have buried Shen Qing so early. But now, once the seeds of suspicion had been sown, the emperor was ruthless and merciless, and he was probably eager to eliminate the root of the problem and send Shen Qing and the evil child in her belly to hell as soon as possible.
Seeing Shen Miao smiling but not saying anything, Shen Qing became even more panicked. She sternly asked, "Shen Miao, I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to hurt me like this?"
"No grudges or hatred?" Shen Miao seemed to have heard a funny joke. She looked at Shen Qing: "When you and your daughter were plotting against me, did you ever think about having no grudges or hatred?"
“You…” Shen Qing felt unwilling in her heart, and looked at Shen Miao as if she was looking at someone scary. She said, “You harmed me, and you will definitely not die a good death! Things will change, and one day, your eldest wife will also become a stray dog, trampled underfoot by others, and you will all not die a good death!” At the end, her voice suddenly became sharp, as if this was the only way to hide the fear in her heart.
Amidst her abuse, Shen Miao's expression remained unchanged. She whispered, "It's true that fortunes change, but waiting for fate to change them is probably too difficult. Ultimately, success depends on human effort, but fortunately, nothing was in vain."
The unpleasant death Shen Qing spoke of was a fate she had already experienced in her previous life. Luo Xueyan had already passed away, Shen Qiu had drowned, and Shen Xin, along with all the servants in the Shen family's main house, had been imprisoned. The eunuchs in the cold palace spread rumors that Shen Xin was being held in the most horrific of prisons, with iron chains piercing his shoulder blades to prevent him from escaping, and the word "prisoner" branded on his cheek. For a general known for his decisiveness on the battlefield, this was undoubtedly the most unacceptable. If the physical torture was bearable, the mental humiliation was the most painful for Shen Xin. Yet, at that time, she was imprisoned in the cold palace, watching Fu Ming being deposed from the throne and Madam Mei gloating.
