"What is Yue-er afraid of?" Shen Wan caressed Shen Yue's head. It was clearly a loving expression but the words that came out were gloomy, "Just a little girl who does not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. Sooner or later she will pay the price."
…
Shen Miao really entered the Shen family's ancestral hall as Old Shen Furen had arranged.
The Shen family was a military family, and the ancestral hall was dedicated to their ancestors. These ancestors had laid down such a prosperous family business for the Shen family on horseback. Unfortunately, in this generation, the Shen family was also united in appearance, but divided in heart, and was not far from decline.
Old General Shen's branch was initially very prosperous. Unfortunately in a war, the few brothers of the Shen family were all killed in battle and only Old General Shen managed to escape alive. Old General Shen gave birth to three sons but only one of them took the path of a military general. Now on the surface the Shen residence still inherited its original glory but other than that formidable Great General Shen Xin, it was an out-and-out scholarly family which was quite ironic.
"Is Young Lady numb from kneeling?" Gu Yu asked.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu also followed into the ancestral hall. Shen Miao was worried that Ren Wan Yun would do something behind her back. Previously in Wo Long Temple, she had deliberately sent Jing Zhe and Gu Yu away so that both of them could escape the fate of being silenced. But in the huge Shen residence, everyone had their own ulterior motives so it was better to leave it by one's side. Ren Wan Yun's hands were too long and would not dare to make a move in front of her.
"Even if it is not numb, the humidity in this place is heavy." Jing Zhe looked at the little window grumpily, "Now it is raining and the ground is wet. Kneeling like this will cause the root of the illness. Moreover, they are simply being unreasonable. What does this matter have to do with Young Lady? The guilty ones are the first to complain. When Master returns, see if they still dare to …"
"Speak less." Gu Yu reprimanded, "If it is discovered by others, the one to suffer would be Young Lady."
Shen Miao smiled and did not care.
Jing Zhe thought about it and asked again, "But today was considered unexpected. So many of them went to Rong Jing Tang but there was not a single person by Young Lady's side and came out unscathed. Even though kneeling in the ancestral hall is terrible, it is much better than what this servant thought."
Before entering Rong Jing Tang to denounce, Shen Miao did not bring her maids in. Thus Shen Miao's maids did not know what was happening inside.
"Young Lady must have convinced the entire house of people," Gu Yu said with admiration, "Not afraid even when facing so many people, Young Lady is now more and more like Master's demeanour."
So many people? Shen Miao could not help but laugh in her heart. It was just a small Shen residence and just a bunch of clowns that could not be seen in public. At the beginning when Fu Xiu Yi wanted to change the Crown Prince, all the officials stood on the side of Mei Furen and Fu Sheng. Her Fu Ming was almost under house arrest at that time and she wore the Empress' court dress and faced the officials in the Throne Room, arguing with them and every word she said was filled with tears of blood.
How weak was the power of one person? She was the noblest woman in the world, and she had married the noblest man in the world, but she couldn't even protect what her son deserved. No one stood beside her, and she could not retreat, because there were people to protect.
It was precisely because she had failed to protect the precious person that she was using even more violent methods this time. Cruel? Heartless? Hypocrisy? Cunning? It did not matter. As long as the tip of the blade was aimed at the enemy, as long as the enemy was the one who fell, even if the process was more cruel, she alone would block the sin, so what?
She closed her eyes and the ancestral tablets were in front of her. Shen Miao softly said, "The ancestors on horseback, if your spirits are still alive, please bestow me the sharpest arrows and the fastest horses. Please bless me to kill my enemies with my own hands.
