Chapter 393: Disdain and Hate (4)
So when Fu Xiuyi reminded her, Concubine Dong Shu was also stunned.
How could I not say anything bad about such an ordinary little girl? But apart from being a little dull, I really don't know what's wrong with her.
There was no desire, no ambition, and his eyes were as calm as a woman's. Concubine Dong Shu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this exactly the same as herself... or rather, the disguised self?
"I think mother has figured it out." Fu Xiuyi smiled: "This Miss Shen is a hidden master."
Concubine Dong Shu looked at Fu Xiuyi in confusion: "You said she was pretending? She's young, so she can pretend other things, but she can't control her temper."
"Mother," a strange light flashed in Fu Xiuyi's eyes. "I've seen her make a fool of herself in public, I've seen her shamelessly display her affection, and she embarrassed the Cai family's young master with three murderous arrows on the training ground. Now, you've also seen her stupid and dull. Mother, which of these various appearances do you think is the real her?"
Concubine Dong Shu paused holding the teacup.
How could one person have so many different looks, each so vivid and lifelike, each so like her own personality? That disguise was too terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that she had only just reached the age of marriage.
Fu Xiuyi lowered his head. What he didn't say was that he had also seen Shen Miao looking at him at the palace banquet, her eyes filled with uncontrollable hatred. That kind of hatred that penetrated deep into her bones was definitely not the hatred of a little girl who was unable to get her love. That kind of hatred was as if her soul was trembling with anger, wishing to tear him apart.
There are many confusing points.
"Mother, keeping the Shen family will only bring uncertainty. The current situation cannot be changed." Fu Xiuyi lowered his voice and said, "Miss Shen, things may not be as simple as we think. It's best to cut the grass at its roots and end it before it even begins."
"So, this time the mighty general is doomed?" asked Concubine Dong Shu.
"That's not the case," Fu Xiuyi smiled. "The Shen family is now the head of the elite families. Getting rid of them now will only cause greater changes. However, if we take over the power of the Shen family, they will gradually decline. When the time is right, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"What if something unexpected happens along the way?" Concubine Dong Shu looked at him. "The Shen family might have other tricks up their sleeves. What if they can get through it safely? If they find out it was you who submitted the memorial, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."
Fu Xiuyi shook his head. Although he still had a friendly smile on his face, his eyes suddenly turned fierce. "Deceiving the emperor is already a serious crime. No matter how powerful I am, I can't let the Shen family retreat easily. It's just..." He said calmly, "This was originally a test from me."
"Test?" Concubine Dong Shu was a little confused.
Fu Xiuyi looked at his fingertips: "That's right." Shen Yuan had asked him to pay attention to Shen Miao before, but Fu Xiuyi didn't take it to heart. But a series of events later, including the extermination of Prince Yu's family and Shen Yuan's death, made him gradually realize that what Shen Yuan said might be true.
Shen Miao, a girl from the boudoir, could never accomplish such a big thing. There was only one possibility, that there was someone behind Shen Miao. The person behind her was so powerful that Fu Xiuyi had to be on guard.
This time, when the Shen family was in trouble, only Shen Miao was left behind. Naturally, this was due to his suggestion to Emperor Wen Hui. However, Fu Xiuyi's goal was to see what method the Shen family's fifth daughter, who was so well-hidden that even he was toyed with, would use to resolve the crisis. And who would be her helper?
However, no matter what method he used, Shen Xin would not be able to retreat safely. Fu Xiuyi clenched his palms tightly, thinking that there was no reason to spit out the fat meat in his mouth.
