“Yue, what are you afraid of?” Shen Wan rubbed Shen Yue’s head. With a gentle expression, she said sinisterly, “She’s just a little girl and knows nothing. She will pay the price sooner or later.”

Just like Old Madam Shen had ordered, Shen Miao entered the Shen family’s ancestral hall.

The Shen family was a military family, and the ancestral hall was dedicated to generations of ancestors. These ancestors had built such a prosperous family on horseback. Unfortunately, in this generation, the Shen family was not far from declining.
Old General Shen’s generation was actually very prosperous in the beginning. Unfortunately, in a war, several brothers of the Shen family died, and only Old General Shen escaped alive. Old General Shen had three sons, but only one of them was a general. Now, the Shen family still maintained its original glory on the surface, but apart from the mighty general, Shen Xin, it was a family of civil servants. It was ironic.

“Miss, are you numb from kneeling?” Gu Yu asked.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu also followed her into the ancestral hall. Shen Miao was worried that Ren Wanyun would do something to them behind her back. Although she had deliberately sent Jingzhe and Gu Yu away at the Wolong Temple so that the two of them could escape the fate of being killed, the Shen family was huge, and they each had their own ulterior motives. It was better to keep them by her side.
“It’s really humid here.” Jingzhe looked at the small window and complained, “It’s raining now, and the ground is wet. What should we do if Miss gets sick from kneeling? Besides, what does this have to do with Miss? When Master comes back, let’s see if they still dare to…”

“Shut up,” Gu Yu reprimanded. “Someone might be eavesdropping.”
Shen Miao smiled and didn’t mind.
Jingzhe thought for a moment and said, “But the result was really unexpected. Although it was terrible to kneel in the ancestral hall, it was much better than what I thought.”
Before entering Rongjing Hall, Shen Miao did not bring her girls in. Therefore, the maids did not know what happened inside.
Gu Yu said in admiration, “Miss is more and more like Master, not afraid when she is outnumbered.”
Shen Miao laughed in her heart. It was just a small Shen family, just some clowns. When Fu Xiuyi wanted to replace the crown prince, the officials were all on the side of Consort Mei and Fu Sheng. At that time, Fu Ming was placed under house arrest. Shen Miao wore the empress’s court dress and argued with the officials in the throne room. Every word she uttered was right to the point, making the officials unable to retort.
Despite being the most noble woman in the world and marrying the most noble man, she still could not even protect her son. There was no one standing beside her, and she could not retreat because there was someone to protect.

It was precisely because she did not manage to protect people she loved in her previous life that she used more vicious methods this time. Cruel? Heartless? Hypocritical? Cunning? None of that meant anything to her now. As long as the tip of the knife was aimed at the enemy and the person who fell was the opponent, it was fine if the process was cruel. She would commit the sins and bear the sins alone.
She closed her eyes. The memorial tablet of her ancestor was in front of her. Shen Miao muttered softly, “Ancestors who fought on horseback, if your heroic spirit is still lingering, please give me the sharpest arrow and the fastest horse. Please bless me to kill my enemy with my own hands.”
