    “What are you talking about?” Shen Miao said indifferently, “Ren Wanyun’s people are guarding the west courtyard now. Not even a fly can fly out. If I escape, what will happen to the people in the courtyard? Although I’m not a benevolent person, some of them were specially left to me by my parents. Once I leave, Ren Wanyun will immediately kill everyone in the courtyard?”


    Jingzhe and Gu Yu were stunned.


    “Besides, do you think sending a message is that simple? There are people guarding this ce all day long. They want to lock me up. Do you think they will give me a chance? Then you’re looking down on my second aunt.”


    In Shen Miao’s opinion, Ren Wanyun was nothing to be afraid of. However, in this world, an angry mother was the most terrifying. For the sake of Shen Qing’s happiness, Ren Wanyun would naturally do her best to make sure her n was carried out. On this matter, Ren Wanyun had ced a huge bet. After all, she had probably not discussed the matter with Shen Gui. It was her own idea. If it seeded, everyone would naturally be happy. If it failed, Ren Wanyun would probably no longer have a ce in the second branch.


    “But Miss, are we just going to wait?” Jingzhe said anxiously, “I won’t let you marry that homosexual!”


    “Can you tell what’s going on?” Shen Miao pointed at the chessboard on the table.


    On the chessboard, the white pieces and ck pieces were arranged in two rows, looking a little strange.


    After a while, Gu Yu replied carefully, “I have no clue about chess.”


    “What did you see?” Shen Miao asked.


    Jingzhe boldly replied, “White and ck lining up in two rows. They’re very distinct.”


    “That’s right.” A glint shed across Shen Miao’s eyes. “This chess game is about putting all the chips on the table. You know my chess piece, and I know yours. Whoever is more capable will be the winner.”


    Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, not understanding what Shen Miao meant.


    “Ren Wanyun thought that she knew all my chess pieces, but that’s not the case.” She took out another ck chess piece from behind and ced it beside the white chess piece. “I still have a trump card.”


    ......


    “The old madam’s birthday is next month, right?” she suddenly asked.


    “Yes,” Jingzhe replied. “I heard from Chun Tao that Second Madam wants to announce Miss’s marriage at Old Madam’s birthday banquet.”


    “They wanted to make it a done deal before my father returned to the capital.” Shen Miao smiled.


    “That’s right. There are still a few months until the end of the year. I’m afraid it’ll be toote when Masteres back.” Gu Yu was worried.


    “Is that so?”


    When Shen Xin returned to the court, it would indeed be the end of the year. Unfortunately, in the 68th year of Ming Qi, because Shen Xin defeated the enemy army in the northwest, the enemy army fled and gave him a letter of surrender in advance. The Shen family army returned to the capital a few months earlier with the letter of surrender.


    Every time Old Madam Shen held her birthday, Shen Xin was not in the capital. After a while, people said that Shen Xin was unfilial. Therefore, on Old Madam Shen’s 70th birthday in the 68th year of Ming Qi, Shen Xin returned to the capital early.


    That day, Shen Xin suddenly returned to the mansion. Old Madam Shen was holding a banquet at the mansion, but Shen Miao did not attend. The reason was naturally because she was hiding in Prince Ding’s mansion. Shen Xin went to Prince Ding’s mansion to look for his daughter. However, because of Fu Xiuyi’s sweet words, she turned a deaf ear to her father and even told her father she wanted to marry Fu Xiuyi.


    Now that she thought about it, she felt ashamed.


    In this life, she did not escape the Shen family because of Prince Yu, nor did she continue to be infatuated with Fu Xiuyi. If Shen Xin came back and saw a different daughter, would she be able to redeem herself a little?


    “My father has always respected Old Madam,” Shen Miao said indifferently.


    “Yes,” Jingzhe replied.


    Old Madam Shen was born in the gutter and was good at putting on a show. Back then, she acted wlessly like a kind mother. When the old general was alive, he could not find any fault with her. In the early years, he had received motherly care from Old Madam Shen, so he could not imagine how she could be a vicious woman.


    “I have to thank Second Aunt this time,” Shen Miao said with a smile, her eyes shockingly bright. “I’ll expose them all.”
