“I don’t intend to seek justice for myself through the just way,” Shen Miao said indifferently. “There are many ways to achieve your goal in this world…”
Justness was useless and was used to restrain the weak. During her years in the harem, she understood a lot of things. It was not that there were no good women in the harem, but those women were like flowers in the winter. They were too fragile and could not even withstand the wind before being crushed into mud. Since she was on a dark and bloody path, her methods along the way were destined to be dark and bloody.
“But Miss, what can you do?” Jingzhe said, “At least Master and Madam can protect you and stand up for you. After all, you’re just a girl. Even if you want to take revenge, there are many things that are outside your control.”
“If Father and Mother are furious, they will directly go against Prince Yu and intimidate him so that he will not dare to covet me” Shen Miao said, “But it’s impossible for the Shen family to be unharmed when confronting Prince Yu. What’s more, I want more than just intimidating him.”
Jingzhe was getting more and more confused. What Shen Miao meant was that she wouldn’t let Shen Xin go against Prince Yu, nor would she let Shen Xin intimidate Prince Yu so that Prince Yu wouldn’t dare to do anything to Shen Miao. However, looking at Shen Miao, she obviously wouldn’t let this matter rest. What was Shen Miao up to?
Shen Miao smiled. “If anyone offends me, I will kill them all.”
Jingzhe was shocked and subconsciously looked up at Shen Miao, only to see the girl bathing in the morning sun. The smile on her lips was clear and pure, but she was like a young beast baring its fangs in the dark forest.
She was shocked, and at that moment, she actually felt terrified. She couldn’t say a word and lowered her head in fear. She thought to herself that Shen Qiu was right. Why did Shen Miao seem to have changed completely in just a year? Not to mention Shen Qiu, even maids who were with her day in and day out didn’t know how she changed.
Shen Miao narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Now that everyone was back, the chess game could begin. Shen Qing was a pawn, and Prince Yu was that knight. As for the Ming Qi Royal Family, they were like white pieces. When would they be captured? That depended on God’s will.
This time, she would play God.
…
At the Marquis of Lin’an’s Residence.
Even in the harsh winter, the entire marquis’s mansion was still filled with flowers. When the late wife of the marquis, Princess Yuqing, was alive, she liked flowers the most. When she married the Marquis of Lin’an, he was full of sweet words. Xie Ding doted on Princess Yuqing and renovated the entire marquis’s mansion into the look of the princess hall where Princess Yuqing lived in the palace. At that time, it caused a huge sensation.
Later on, when Princess Yuqing passed away, Xie Ding still retained all the scenery when Princess Yuqing was alive. He hired someone to protect and take care of it, so after so many years, even though it was winter, this place still did not feel desolate.
However, although the scenery was prosperous, what was bleak was not the scenery but the people. Things were the same, but people were different. Though everything was maintained to the point of perfection, deep down, it was no longer what it was.
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were practicing their spear skills in the courtyard. Ever since the test, the two of them rarely left the mansion. Firstly, it was because they were too ashamed to go out. Secondly, because their injuries were not fully healed, they could not go out to train. Speaking of which, although Xie Jingxing looked like he didn’t beat up his brothers too hard, he was actually very harsh on them. Even after resting for a few months, they still felt some pain.
