"What message?" Shen Miao lightly said, "Currently the Western courtyard is guarded by Ren Wan Yun's people and even a fly would not be able to fly out. If I were to escape, what would happen to the rest of the people in the courtyard? Even though I am not a benevolent person, there are some people that Father and Mother specially left for me. Do you believe that once I leave, Ren Wan Yun would immediately kill everyone in the courtyard to silence them. "
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were startled.
"Moreover do you think that it is that simple to pass a message? There are people guarding here all day and their intention is to lock me up. Do you think that they would leave a loophole for me to take advantage of? Then you all are looking down on this Second Shen of mine. "
Ren Wan Yun's mind was not something to be feared in Shen Miao's eyes but in this world, a mother was strong. For Shen Qing's happiness, Ren Wan Yun would naturally do her utmost to complete this matter. On this matter, Ren Wan Yun's bet was not small. After all, the matter of exchanging the marriage was not discussed with Shen Gui and it was her own idea. If it was successful, naturally everyone would be happy but if it failed, one fear that Ren Wan Yun would no longer have a place to stand in the Second household.
"But Young Lady, are we just going to let it go like this?" Jing Zhe anxiously said, "This servant will risk my life and not let Young Lady marry that cut sleeve!"
"Can you all see this chess game?" Shen Miao did not speak and only pointed to the chessboard on the table.
On the chessboard, the white and black pieces were arranged in two rows and were clearly separated. It was somewhat strange.
"This servant does not understand chess and also do not understand what kind of game this is." After a long while, Gu Yu carefully answered.
"What did you see?" Shen Miao asked.
Jing Zhe boldly answered, "The white and black pieces are arranged together and it is very clear."
"Yes." A light flashed in Shen Miao's eyes, "This game of chess is to place all the chips on the table. You know my chess pieces and I also know your chess pieces. The final winner would depend on one's own ability."
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at each other and did not understand Shen Miao's meaning.
"Ren Wan Yun thought that she knew all my chess pieces but in fact it is not so." She took out a black piece from behind and placed it beside the white piece, "I still have one last move."
"Old Furen's birthday is next month." She suddenly asked.
"Exactly." Jing Zhe answered, "Heard from Chun Tao that Second Furen's intention is to announce Young Lady's marriage during Old Furen's birthday banquet."
"We have to do it before Father returns to the capital." Shen Miao smiled.
"That's right, there are still a few months before the end of the year. One fear that it would be too late." Gu Yu was deeply worried.
"Really?"
Shen Xin should have returned to the court at the end of the year. Unfortunately, in the sixty-eighth year of Ming Qi, because Shen Xin defeated the enemy in the Northwest region, the enemy fled and surrendered in advance. The Shen family's army brought the surrender letter and returned to the Ding capital a few months earlier.
Speaking of which it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was because Shen Xin wanted to express his filial piety, Shen Xin would not be in the capital for Old Shen Furen's birthday. After a few times, people would say that Shen Xin was unfilial. Thus on Old Shen Furen's seventieth birthday in the sixty-eighth year of Ming Qi, Shen Xin returned to the capital in advance.
On that day, Shen Xin suddenly returned to the residence and Old Shen Furen was having a banquet with guests in the residence but Shen Miao did not attend. Naturally it was because she was hiding in the residence of Prince Ding. Shen Xin originally wanted to come back to enjoy the happiness of a family but knew that his daughter did not care about etiquette and went to the residence of Prince Ding to demand for her. But because of Fu Xiu Yi's hypocritical warmth, she turned a deaf ear to Shen Xin's words and even used death to force her to marry Prince Ding.
Now thinking about it, it was a sin. Shen Xin rushed back and saw such an unfilial daughter who dragged the Shen family into the abyss with no path of return.
This lifetime was not the previous lifetime. She did not escape the Shen family because of Prince Yu and also did not blindly fall in love with Fu Xiu Yi's appearance. If Shen Xin came back and saw a different daughter, would she be able to redeem a little of the sins of the previous lifetime?
"Father had always respected Old Furen." Shen Miao said lightly.
"Yes." Jing Zhe answered.
Old Shen Furen was a songstress and was good at acting. In the beginning, she played the role of a loving mother flawlessly. When the Old General was still alive, he could not pick out any mistakes at all. Generals valued relationships and Shen Xin knew how to repay kindness. In his early years, he had received Old Shen Furen's kindness and he was unable to think that this old woman had a vicious heart under her skin.
"Second Shen, this time it was a bargain for me." Shen Miao said with a smile and her pair of bright eyes were astonishingly bright, "Just nice. Tear it all together for the world to see."
