Chapter 175 Trapped in the Dark Room



"The princess went to Lotus Village, and on her way back, she was attacked and injured by a tiger. After returning, she was bitten by a poisonous snake..."

Wasn't Shen Pengfei also bitten by a poisonous snake? That's why the princess went to ask him about it.

He told me everything about me, and then said he regretted not killing me in prison, otherwise the princess wouldn't have suffered.

The princess thought his words made a lot of sense, so she angrily killed him.

Shen Liuliu said in a serious and methodical manner.

Everyone: ...

Shen Tiantian lowered her head.

Liu Liu is only three years old, but she speaks in long, drawn-out sentences... She doesn't seem like a normal child at all.

so……

Parents, Liu Liu, what are you still hiding from me?

Why can't you still treat me like family? All I want is a real family.

"Ahem, so wouldn't you say Shen Pengfei...courted death?" Shen Erming was speechless.

It's likely that Shen Pengfei wanted the princess to kill Liu Liu.

Unexpectedly, he incurred the wrath of the princess and was killed first.

Wu Tiao yelled, "He deserved it! He deserved to die!"

“Actually, I think I know what that princess will do next.” Shen Sanlin, who had been silent all along, suddenly figured it out.

Everyone kept asking.

Shen Sanlin said, "A normal person would be afraid in this situation. It should be said that the princess would not dare to lay a hand on her sister for the time being, but she is also afraid that the animals will hurt her..."

So she probably wasn't willing to just swallow this insult. Therefore, the best course of action at this point was to have someone else deal with her sister.

Although he still doesn't understand why those animals would hurt his sister.

But at least it seems like they're on the younger sister's side, which is a good thing.

He decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

"Let someone else deal with your sister?" Shen Yishan didn't understand.

Or perhaps he understood the literal meaning, but didn't understand the specifics of how to do it.

The smartest people in the family are Shen Sanlin and Shen Erming.

Shen Erming looked at Shen Sanlin in shock and asked, "You mean, that princess will spread rumors that my sister is a monster and incite the people to fight against her?"

"Of course, this is the best way, without bloodshed."

Shen Sanlin thought to himself, "I don't think I used this idiom incorrectly."

He had secretly read all the idioms that An'an wrote to his sister.

"What, what do you mean?"

Tian Guifen felt like her brain wasn't working properly; she couldn't understand anything.

"What they mean is, they'll say that the younger sister is a monster who can command animals. And that these animals harm people—like the one who was struck by lightning and died, Shen Pengfei who was bitten by a snake, and the princess who was attacked by a wild beast..."

If these beasts can harm them, then they can harm everyone. Will anyone who makes my sister even the slightest bit unhappy in the future suffer the same fate?

The princess will definitely send people to spread rumors that our family is difficult to get along with and tell everyone about the tragic fate of being attacked by wild beasts.

At that time, everyone will be afraid of their younger sister! Even...

He wanted his sister dead!

This is an open strategy.

It was the best solution that the wet nurse came up with.

She blatantly told everyone everything, forcing them to make a choice.

Because it is human nature to prioritize protecting oneself.

As Shen Erming's voice fell, the Shen family fell into silence and panic.

If everyone in the town treats Liu Liu as an enemy, then Liu Liu...

You can guard against one or two people, but can you guard against everyone?

Tian Guifen's mouth tasted bitter. She cried out and hugged Shen Liuliu tightly, her eyes filled with tears: "How could this person be so vicious? Who did my Liuliu offend?"

The one who got struck by lightning was trying to kill my Liu Liu, that's why he got struck by lightning! And Shen Pengfei, didn't he also commit many evil deeds?

What? They bullied us, and we didn't die and even fought back, so we're the ones who deserve to die?

"This is utterly unreasonable! What kind of people are these?"

Tian Guifen didn't understand.

Is there anything so unreasonable in the world?

"Heh, to that princess, we're nothing but lowly commoners; if we die, we die. But not only did we survive, we caused her some trouble. Isn't that a heinous crime?"

Shen Erming mocked in a sarcastic tone.

What is wrong?

To those high-ranking nobles, these people—

"To be base is a fault!"

“Erming, you can’t say that. There are still good people out there. Look, if it weren’t for the magistrate, we would have been dead long ago.”

Shen Yishan retorted somewhat disagreeingly.

Don't generalize and condemn all people based on a single example.

Shen Wanli agreed with his eldest son's words: "There are inhuman ordinary people, and there are good people among the powerful. Don't be so extreme."

"Alright, stop lecturing me. Let's think about what to do now." Shen Erming rolled his eyes, speechless.

What time is it? Why are you still talking about him?

"Ah, I understand."

Shen Liuliu suddenly let out a strange cry.

Everyone looked over.

"You smashed your daughter's clothes?"

"Mother, Shen Pengfei is dead."

Shen Liuliu repeated what everyone already knew.

Tian Guifen said, "Mother knows."

Shen Liuliu asked, "Mother, how did Shen Pengfei die?"

Although that princess might not have the brains for it.

But not everyone around you is a fool.

In the past, when things were just minor, people around us might not have intervened to stop them.

But now that things have blown up, those around her naturally won't let the princess keep making a scene.

Therefore, they will definitely try to find a way to resolve this matter.

The most important point in resolving these issues is that the princess's hands are clean, without a single drop of blood.

Therefore, Shen Pengfei could not have been killed by the princess.

"...Shen Pengfei...The last time we all knew about him was when he was interrogating us and got bitten by a snake..."

So that damned princess will definitely say that my sister and the wild beast did it!

Once he understood the key point, Shen Erming immediately stood up.

He waved his fists, unable to vent his anger.

So insidious!

That's outrageous!

Tian Guifen was so angry that her hands were trembling: "But, but what do we do now?"

We can't just figure things out but be unable to do anything about it, can we?

We need to get out of here.

Shen Liuliu stared at the candlelight on the table and said seriously.

Only by leaving here can we get things done.

Otherwise, no matter how smart you are, it will all be in vain.

“But unless the magistrate comes in himself, we can’t open it from the inside,” Shen Yishan said dejectedly.

They hadn't seen the sunlight outside for days, and hadn't seen any outsiders since the magistrate brought them back to this secret room.

They didn't even know how many days had passed, because there was no sunlight here, only candles for light.

"Think of a way! Find a way out immediately!"

Shen Wanli slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee!

Just then, the door was suddenly opened—

The blinding sunlight poured down, and the Shen family members were instantly unable to open their eyes.
