Chapter 337: Life for Life (1)
In front of the stone table in the west courtyard of the Shen Mansion, Shen Miaozheng and Shen Qiu were playing chess.
It was a rare day when Shen Qiu didn't have to practice swordplay. Knowing that Shen Miao's chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds, Shen Qiu had been eager to win a game against Shen Miao for a long time. However, the outcome was not satisfactory.
Shen Miao placed a black piece, and Shen Qiu's white piece, which had been so domineering just now, was surrounded by black pieces and could not escape. Shen Qiu stared blankly for a long time and asked Shen Miao: "Sister, isn't this the chess move I used in the first game?"
He felt that the moves on the chessboard looked familiar, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became. Shen Miao was gradually recreating the moves he had made in the first game. However, Shen Miao was using them better. At least in this game, she used them with ease and with murderous intent.
"Give someone a taste of their own medicine." Shen Miao smiled, "Brother, can you come up with a solution for your own things?"
Chen Qiu shook his head: "My method is to fight against the enemy. It is a dead end. My sister asked me to find a countermeasure, but I can't find one."
Shen Miao looked at the chess moves on the chessboard and smiled faintly.
In his previous life, Shen Qiu murdered Sun Cainan and was imprisoned several years later. It seems the subsequent plotting was more or less in the hands of Shen Yuan. I wonder if Shen Yuan would find it familiar if the same tactics were used against him? Can Shen Yuan untangle the dead end he set for Shen Qiu?
It should not be possible.
When Shen Qiu was scratching his head and about to make a move, he suddenly saw someone running hurriedly outside the yard. It was the second-class maid who was sweeping the floor. The maid's face was full of fear, and she said in panic: "Oh no, Eldest Young Master, Fifth Miss, the Second Young Master has killed someone outside!"
"What?" Shen Qiu frowned, and a chess piece fell down, spun around on the ground, and finally landed on the ground.
Shen Miao bent down to pick up the chess piece, looked at the maid, and asked in a gentle voice, "Who did he kill?"
…
In the Jingzhao Yin prison, Chen Yuan was locked in the innermost cell. His hands and clothes were stained with blood, which was shocking, and his face was also a little bruised.
This was the first time that Chen Yuan fell into such an embarrassing situation. When he was struggling with Jing Chuchu's adulterer, for some reason, he always felt a very violent emotion in his heart, as if his head was a little hot. When he woke up, Sun Cainan had been stabbed to death by him. The restaurant was a wooden attic, and the fight between the two woke up many people. The screams of Taoyuan and Jing Chuchu almost immediately exposed the murder case to the public.
Until then, Shen Yuan's heart gradually calmed down. After all, he was too impulsive in today's matter.
Chen Yuan had always been vain, and what he hated most was having his dignity violated. The incident at the Shen Mansion family banquet had already been humiliating enough, but he had endured it because he hadn't regained consciousness at the time. Now everyone in Dingjing knew he was going to marry Jing Chuchu, yet Jing Chuchu was still cheating on him. The people at the restaurant seemed to be judging him for it, and Chen Yuan could barely contain his anger.
No one knew where Jing Chuchu was taken, but since this matter was caused by her, it seemed that Jing Chuchu's end would not be easy.
But… Chen Yuan was still a little puzzled. Why did the people at the restaurant know him and Jing Chuchu? Why did Jing Chuchu choose to have sex with his man? He felt something was wrong, but he quickly shook his head. That place was where he and Fu Xiuyi's people met. No one else would know about it except Fu Xiuyi's people.
Shen Yuan thought deeply that Fu Xiuyi's people had already known about this matter when they arrived at the restaurant.
At this moment, he had completely calmed down. All the panic had disappeared, and the bloodstains on his clothes and the gloomy cage had not shaken his expression.
