Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Qiu, go to Prince Yu’s mansion. Your second uncle is going to the capital magistrate’s court, and your third uncle has entered the palace to ask for information, but we still need someone to keep an eye on the situation in Prince Yu’s mansion. Your father and I will go to the palace first. This matter is very important. If there are really assassins in the capital, it’s no joking matter.” Luo Xueyan instructed Shen Qiu, “Go and find out if anyone from our mansion died there. If so, we need to inform their family and compensate them.”

“Don’t worry, Mom. Leave this to me.” Shen Qiu agreed readily.

After Shen Xin and his wife left, Shen Qiu grabbed his stuff and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Shen Miao’s voice behind him. “Brother.”

“Sister?” Shen Qiu was stunned. He turned around and asked, “Why don’t you stay in the house?”

“Brother, are you going to Prince Yu’s mansion?” Shen Miao asked.

“That’s right.” Shen Xin replied, “I still have some things to deal with. I’ll be back soon.”

Shen Miao looked at him and said, “Brother, take me with you.”

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying seriously, “Sister, I know that you have a deep grudge with Prince Yu. To be honest, I think they deserve it. The scene will be very uncomfortable to look at. Just stay at home.”

Shen Miao smiled. “I don’t mind. I just want to take a look.”

“There’s really nothing to see.” Shen Qiu deliberately tried to scare her. “I heard that those people died extremely miserably last night. Their stomachs were all cut open, and their blood was all dried up. I’m afraid if you go, you’ll see a ghost.” Although the scene was tragic, it was definitely not as terrifying as Shen Qiu said. Shen Qiu just wanted to scare Shen Miao. He really did not want Shen Miao to see those bloody scenes.

However, after he finished speaking, Shen Miao was still expressionless as if she had witnessed this kind of scene countless times. She replied with a smile, “As the daughter of a general, if I’m frightened by some corpses, won’t I be made a laughing stock? Brother, are you afraid of seeing dead people on the battlefield?”

“Of course not!” Shen Qiu immediately said. As soon as he said that, he knew that he was tricked. Shen Miao looked at him calmly and continued, “In that case, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Brother, bring me with you.”

“I mean, Sister, why are you going to Prince Yu’s mansion?” Shen Xin said anxiously, “There’s really nothing there.”

“I’m just going over to take a look. Brother, you don’t have to worry about me. Just as you said, the mansion is heavily guarded now, so there won’t be any danger. It won’t be a problem to bring me there.”

Shen Miao said every word with extreme determination. Over recent days, Shen Qiu had also noticed that Shen Miao had become an opinionated and stubborn person. Even if he refused to bring her along, she would still find a way to do so. It was safer for her to go with him.

“Alright.” Shen Qiu stared at her. “Don’t walk around when you reach the mansion. I’ll get Mo Qing to follow you. If there’s anything wrong, shout!”

Shen Miao smiled. “Okay.”

…

In just one night, Prince Yu’s mansion seemed to have changed completely. Yesterday, it was still filled with joyful chatter and laughter. One could still vividly remember the scene of guests lining up to enter the mansion outside Now, the door was sealed, and the guards guarding the door had solemn expressions, afraid that some ruthless assassins would suddenly appear to take their lives.
