Only then did Shen Qing suddenly realize that none of the guards who were supposed to be patrolling were around. There were no other prisoners in the cell where she was locked up. In other words, at this moment, there was only her and Shen Yuan here. He was her closest brother, but looking at him, Shen Qing felt a chill run down her spine.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Shen Yuan asked her.
Shen Qing forced a smile and said, “I-I can’t bring myself to eat such a delicate pastry. I’ll save it for later.”
“It won’t taste good when it’s cold.” Shen Yuan smiled and said, “I’ll send more to you in a few days.”
“No…” Shen Qing declined.” I-I don’t want to eat now.”
“Weren’t you very hungry just now?” Shen Yuan looked at her. “Why do you suddenly not want to eat anymore?”
Shen Qing waved her hand in a panic and said, “I just don’t want to eat anymore. I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. It’s probably because I am pregnant.” She put the snack aside and said, “When I feel better later, I’ll definitely eat it.”
Shen Yuan looked at her in silence. In the end, he sneered and said, “Sister, you seem to have become smarter after staying in prison for a few days.” His voice was no longer gentle like before. Instead, it was inexplicably cruel. Shen Yuan said, “It seems like you already know. What a pity. I originally wanted to make it easier for you to leave.”
Shen Qing trembled and looked at Shen Yuan. “Second Brother, what do you mean?”
“Sister, you’re so guarded against me. I thought you already understood what I meant.”
Shen Yuan’s words were very calm. Coupled with his cold face, he had a terrifying aura. Shen Qing realized something and suddenly shook her head crazily, wanting to shout. Unfortunately, before she could make a sound, her throat was grabbed.
She didn’t expect that someone who looked gentle and amiable had so much strength. What was even more terrifying was that he was grabbing his sister’s throat, and in his eyes, there was no pity at all as if he was looking at a passerby.
Shen Qing widened her eyes and stared at the person in front of her. Shen Yuan chuckled and said, “Sister, don’t blame Second Brother for being ruthless. Now that you’ve caused such a huge trouble for all of us, if you continue to live, you’ll implicate the entire Shen family. Do you want Father, Mother, and Yuanbai to die for you? Sister, you can’t be too selfish.”
Shen Qing struggled with all her might, but she was a woman to begin with, and she was pregnant. Moreover, she had been tortured to the point of death these days, so her strength was no match for a man. She could only kick her legs in vain, and the straw on the ground flew everywhere.
“I know you don’t want to die.” Shen Yuan said softly, “I’m your second brother, so I’ll definitely avenge you. I promise you that the first branch of the Shen family and Shen Miao will definitely end up a thousand times worse than you. So, Sister, don’t hate me. Only when you die and the second branch is not implicated will I be able to avenge you. Do you understand?”
Shen Qing’s body gradually went limp, and her eyes gradually dimed out, like a fish on the verge of death gradually drying up on the dry shore.
Shen Yuan let go, and the body fell to the ground with a thud. Just like that, Shen Qing died in prison.
