    “You…” Ji Yushu stared at Shen Miao and was speechless for a long time. He felt that this little girl who looked much younger than him was really a monster.


    “Since the deal is done, it’s time for me to leave.” Shen Miao stood up. “Shopkeeper Ji, you have to act quickly. The rumor has to be wide-spread before Prince Yu and his mansion are annihted.”


    After saying that, she turned around and left without looking at Ji Yushu. Hong Ling, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw here out and knew that the deal was done. She led Shen Miao out of the shop.


    In the secret room, Gao Yang was silent for a while before saying, “I don’t think it’s a good thing to keep a powerful family like the Shen family around. Now that powerful and influential families are cleaned one by one, I think the Shen family has to go too.”


    “I have the final say.” Xie Jingxing saidzily, “It’s not a bad idea to use the Shen family to deal with Prince Yu.”


    “Maybe the Shen family will deal with you like this one day.”


    “If they dare, I don’t mind getting rid of them.” Xie Jingxing’s beautiful ck eyes were flickering. “Any news regarding that thing?”


    Gao Yang shook his head.


    “On the day of the annihtion, I’ll go there myself.” Xie Jingxing sat up straight and yed with the jade cup in his hand. “I don’t believe it’s gone from the surface of the earth.”


    “Do you really think Prince Yu’s mansion can be wiped out? Shen Miao has a good n, but in execution, there will inevitably be some idents.”


    “idents?” Xie Jingxing chuckled. His half-closed eyes were as intoxicating as wine. However, under his long eyshes, his gaze was as sharp as a knife. He said, “Ever since I met her, she has never allowed an ‘ident’ to happen.”


    …


    Time always passed especially quickly.


    The Shen family was a very strange family. Everything was well concealed and peaceful. At least from the outside, the rtionship between the first and second branches looked good.However, after the fire that burnt down the ancestral hall, Shen Xin lost all his trust in the second and third branches, and their rtionship had been stiff ever since.


    Now that Shen Qing had lost her virginity and was going to marry Prince Yu, everyone knew that this was not a good thing. However, Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue were happy and enthusiastic about preparing for Shen Qing’s marriage. Although it was only right for them to appear happy since Shen Qing was marrying into the royal family, the fact that their happiness was undisguised made them look a little too unsympathetic.


    Ren Wanyun argued with Shen Gui because of Shen Qing. Old Madam Shen was biased towards Shen Gui and was increasingly dissatisfied with this daughter-inw of hers. She did not mention anything about returning the management power of the family to Ren Wanyun. Chen Ruoqiu was now trusted by Old Madam Shen, so she became more and more diligent. Ren Wanyun was furious and could not help but show resentment when she was around Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen was even more ruthless. She forced Shen Yuanbai to stay in Rongjing Hall and did not let Ren Wanyun see him.


    At this point, Ren Wanyun had be an out-and-out loner in the huge Shen mansion. Even some of her former servants chose to side with Concubine Wan, who was continuously gaining momentum. Ren Wanyun either cursed all day long in Rosy Cloud Garden or cried with Shen Qing, looking nothing short of a lunatic.


    None of this had anything to do with West Courtyard.


    Shen Xin and his wife consciously kept a distance from the second and third branches, and their attitudes were neither cold nor warm. Through Shen Qing’s incident, they probably understood what a cruel bunch the second and third branches were. At least in Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan’s opinion, if what happened to Shen Qing happened to Shen Miao, the two of them would definitely not sit back and watch their daughter suffer. They would probably fight to the death to seek justice for Shen Miao. Moreover, Shen Miao was much more sensible now, and her attitude towards them was not as distant as before. This made them feel that it was worth it to ask Emperor Wen Hui to allow them to stay in the capital.


    In the room, Bai Lu said, “Miss, Eldest Young Master picked a few more pieces of jewelry for you and gave you a few banknotes. I put them in a box.”
