The two brothers looked at each other. Chen Yuehai did not hold back from expressing his true feelings. “The blood feud is irreconcilable. The Chen family and Prince Yu will be enemies for life, and we will take revenge.”
“If your sister has gone missing in the Prince mansion, Prince Yu will definitely suspect that it was done by your family. I think if you want to settle this matter once and for all, you need to wipe the Prince mansion out of the surface of the earth.”
“Miss Shen, what do you mean?” Chen Yueshan asked hesitantly.
“Although Prince Yu is a noble, in terms of strength, he’s far inferior to your family that has connections reaching out to every corner and cranny of the martial world. Annihilating the Prince Mansion isn’t all that difficult.”
Ji Yushu was listening at the side, but when he heard ‘annihilating’, he spat out a mouthful of tea. He looked at Shen Miao in surprise. It was actually a little terrifying to see a little girl say the word “annihilating” with a calm expression.
The Chen brothers were also stunned. Chen Yueshan sized up Shen Miao opposite him and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine. He thought that he had seen many ruthless people in the martial world, but this little girl in front of him could be said to be one of the most ruthless.
However, they also felt that what Shen Miao said made sense.
“It’s indeed not difficult to annihilate Prince Yu.” Chen Yueshan smiled bitterly. “But going against the current emperor…” As members of the Chen family, they naturally wanted to cut Prince Yu into pieces and they were capable of doing that, but there were still other people in the Chen family, including the women, old, and weak. If the royal family found out the truth, the entire Chen family would be implicated.
“I have a way to make His Majesty not pursue this matter, as long as you have the guts to get rid of Prince Yu,” Shen Miao said.
“You?” Chen Yuehai said, “Miss Shen, we know you’re capable. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the piece of information we’ve been looking for for three years. However, the royal family is not a merciful bunch. If you are not careful, you’ll find yourself in trouble you can’t deal with.”
“I think you’ll go and get to the bottom of my identity after the meeting, so I might as well tell you about it. I’m the daughter of the Mighty General Shen.”
The Chen brothers were stunned and looked surprised. They probably did not expect Shen Miao to have such a background. Then, they fell silent. They came from the martial world. Although they were rich, they were at most a family of merchants. When compared to government officials, merchants were many times lower in terms of social status. There was no way merchants could interfere with the matters at the imperial court and had no idea what was going on in the palace. When they heard Shen Miao say that, they were convinced even more.
“Why are you helping us?” Chen Yuehai asked warily, “What good will it do you to go out of your way to help us?”
“You’re really strange. Just now, you blamed me for not helping your sister. Now that I’m trying to help, you’re suspicious of me.”
Shen Miao’s mocking words made Chen Yuehai a little angry. Chen Yueshan waved his hand and looked at Shen Miao with a smile. “Miss Shen, this matter is very risky. If you are implicated…”
“I’m not just helping you,” Shen Miao said indifferently. “I also have a blood feud with Prince Yu. My cousin is about to marry Prince Yu and will be tortured by him. When you are annihilating the Prince mansion someday, I hope you can let my cousin live.”
When the Chen brothers heard that, most of the doubts in their hearts dissipated. They cupped their hands at Shen Miao. “In that case, thank you.”
“The two of you can go and ask around to find out about your sister first. After you find out, don’t act rashly. Let’s meet up here in three days .”
