671 Going to Prison (4)

In the room, Shen Miao sat at the table and heaved a sigh of relief.

This was just the beginning. Emperor Wen Hui was paranoid. He probably could not tolerate the princes getting too close to the court officials.

From the beginning, she had never forgotten who she wanted to deal with the most. Ever since she was reborn, many things had gradually changed. For example, the Shen family. Even if she did nothing, they would still walk to their own demise. However, Fu Xiuyi was different.

Fu Xiuyi was like the most poisonous snake hiding in the dark. He looked harmless, but he would slither out and bite people. Just like the last time he asked Shen Wan to matchmake her with Prince Zhou. Even though Shen Miao had already tried her best to keep a low profile, Fu Xiuyi still targeted her.

It was no longer appropriate to continue planning. It was better to set up the chess board and start playing the game.

What was Fu Xiuyi most afraid of? What he was most afraid of was his ambition being exposed.

Although Emperor Wen Hui would be suspicious of him for being too close to Shen Wan, with Fu Xiuyi’s methods, he would not be defeated so easily. He would definitely think of a way to help himself out.

However, how could Shen Miao miss this opportunity? Even if she couldn’t bring him down completely this time, she had to make Fu Xiuyi shed some blood.

Shen Wan alone was not enough. This chess game had to be more exciting. Shen Miao asked Jingzhe to call Mo Qing in and instructed him something in a low voice.

It only took a night to go from cloud nine to rock bottom.

Shen Wan felt that the Shen family had been very unlucky for the past two years. It was as if they had run into something unclean and everything was not going well. At first, something happened to the second branch, and after that, it was the third branch’s turn. Now, everyone in the Shen family was locked up in prison. Oh, except for the first branch. The first branch had already been reinstated by Emperor Wen Hui. No matter what happened in the future, at least for now, the first branch had the upper hand.

Speaking of which, the Shen family’s continuous misfortunes seemed to have started after the first branch split up. Or to be precise, it started when Shen Xin returned to the capital two years ago. Could it be that someone had cast a curse on the Shen family behind their backs?

In the cell next door, the women of the Shen family were locked up. Old Madam Shen and Chang Zaiqing were put together. Hearing Old Madam Shen’s complaints and moans, Shen Wan gradually felt a little frustrated.

Two years ago, the Shen family was flourishing with endless guests visiting them everyday. Shen Xin was not in the capital all year round, and the Shen family did not lack money. Although Shen Gui and Shen Wan were civil servants, their careers were also rising year by year. The two daughters were graceful and beautiful. Shen Yuanbai and Shen Yuan were still alive, and Ren Wanyun was smart and Chen Ruoqiu was gentle. It was a happy and harmonious family that people envied.

In just two years, things had changed beyond recognition, and they actually ended up in such a miserable state.

Shen Gui asked sickly, “Third Brother, what exactly did you do? Why did His Majesty arrest all of us?”

“What did I do?” Shen Wan sneered and said, “Second Brother, you’ve also been an official in the imperial court. Don’t you know that if His Majesty wants to put someone in prison, he can have a thousand ways to do it?” The emperor would not punish the entire family of an official who failed to carry out a task.

When Chang Zaiqing heard this, she exclaimed, her voice filled with anxiety, “His Majesty actually arrested us all on purpose? Why did His Majesty do it on purpose? Could it be that you angered His Majesty in some way?”
