"If it is only like this then it is fine." Shen Wan's eyes flashed a trace of gloominess, "After the separation of the family, with Eldest Brother's military strength and reputation, he would only get better and at the end he would suppress us. Comparing the two powers, one would have to reach this step."
Chen Rou Qiu's heart was shocked when she heard it. She had been married to the Shen residence for so many years and naturally knew of the Shen residence's appearance. Shen Xin and wife were not in the residence all year round so they did not know but she and Ren Wan Yun were well aware of it. In this Shen residence, Shen Xin and Shen Gui brothers did not crawl out from the same mother's womb so naturally it was not sincere. The better Shen Xin lived, the worse the other two households would be. There would be a day when everyone would be in opposition but one did not think that this situation would come so quickly.
"Master, even if it is for Yue-er, one cannot let us be suppressed." Chen Rou Qiu massaged his shoulders, "But how to deal with them?"
"Now that Eldest Brother is wary of us, it would not be that easy to take action." Shen Wan shook his head, "Moreover his soldiers are not ordinary so it would be harder to find loopholes. One must wait for an opportunity." Shen Wan said, "The most urgent matter is to find a good family for Yue-er. Pay attention these days."
Chen Rou Qiu probed, "Master, His Highness Prince Ding …"
"First one must not have any ideas on Prince Ding." Shen Wan said sharply, "Just after the matter of Yuan-er, the people in court are afraid of getting involved with the Shen family and one need to pay more attention to the Princes. If one were to think of Prince Ding at this time, Prince Ding would not be happy. "
Chen Rou Qiu nodded her head, "This concubine understands. Master should also rest early."

On the morning of the second day, Shen Miao had just eaten when she saw Shuang Jiang panting as she ran in. Upon entering the room, she said, "Young Lady! Something happened! "
"Speak slowly if there is something to say. Why are you so anxious?" Gu Yu reprimanded. Shuang Jiang stuck out her tongue but still could not hold it back and spilled everything out, "A few days ago, did the Jing family not set off back to SuZhou? Today the officials from that side said that the Jing family met with bandits on the way back and were all killed by the bandits. Knowing that the Jing family and Old Furen have some relations, the officials then came to inform." Shuang Jiang patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Now this bandit is getting more and more rampant. They dare to kill people in broad daylight and did not leave a single person alive. If one knew it was like this, the Jing family would regret coming to the Ding capital. "
Shen Miao's eyes drooped down. Whether the Jing family was silenced by bandits or not, it would depend on one's thoughts. But Shen Miao knew that Sun Tian Zheng's methods had always been swift and decisive, just like in the court. This matter started because of Jing Chu Chu and Sun Cai Nan lost his life, how could Sun Tian Zheng be willing? Shen Miao believed that if it was possible, Sun Tian Zheng could not wait to silence the entire Shen family. But the Shen Family wasn't the Jing Family.
The Jing family would still have the same ending as in the previous lifetime, losing their lives because of Jing Chu Chu's greed. Now that Jing Chu Chu was still in Sun Tian Zheng's hands, Sun Tian Zheng would not let Jing Chu Chu die easily. To live in despair like this was perhaps more painful than death.
But this had nothing to do with her anymore.
Shen Miao said to Gu Yu, "What about the prepared things?"
Gu Yu said, "It is in the chest, but …" Gu Yu was somewhat hesitant, "Young Lady, you really want …"
"Go and get it." Shen Miao interrupted her words.
After an hour, four people walked out of the Western courtyard's side door of the Shen residence.
Among the three of them, the leader was a young gentleman with delicate features. He was wearing a moon white robe and a hat, and could be considered as an elegant gentleman. It was just that he was a little short but he was somewhat adorable like a carved jade. His pair of bright eyes were rarely clear. With this kind of looks, he would be sought after even in a small brothel.
