“It’s very simple. Your younger sister is still alive. Prince Yu’s mansion is impregnable. If you go and question him rashly, I’m afraid you won’t get what you want. If you want to know if what I say is true, kidnap a servant from Prince Yu’s mansion and ask him if there’s a girl who cleans the toilets in the mansion.”

As soon as she said that, the two brothers wobbled at the same time, unable to hide the pain on their faces. Ji Yushu sighed in his heart. Shen Miao had said it in such detail and with such certainty. This was most likely true.

“You…” Chen Yuehai stared at Shen Miao and suddenly said,” Since you know about this, why didn’t you save her? You watched her fall into the abyss without offering a hand. Instead, you came here to sell the information. You… ” He slammed the table. “You’re so heartless! ”

“Yuehai!” Chen Yueshan reprimanded him in a low voice. He looked at Shen Miao and cupped his fists. “I’m sorry, Miss Shen. My second brother is just too sad. I hope Miss Shen won’t take it to heart.” Although he spoke politely, Shen Miao could still see resentment in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Shen Miao smiled instead of flaring up. She looked at Chen Yuehai and said, “Young Master Chen, how do you think I should help her? I’m just a powerless girl. What ability do I have to save her? Do you want me to sneak into the prince’s mansion without caring about my own safety, or do you want me to risk my life to help her escape like her elder sister did? Let me be brutally honest with you. If she were my biological sister, I might risk myself to save her. However, she’s just a stranger to me. I dare to ask you, Young Master Chen, would you risk your life for a stranger? If you would, you have all my respect. However, I’m just a timid and cowardly woman, and I don’t want to be a hero!”

She spoke quickly and excitedly, making the Chen brothers unable to interrupt. Ji Yushu’s mouth was wide open. For some reason, he felt that Shen Miao was angry, and her words were filled with sarcasm. That’s right. If the world was full of people who were willing to risk their lives for strangers, there wouldn’t be so much suffering. Shen Miao was just a little girl. What ability did she have to help the Chen sisters escape?

Shen Miao looked at the two brothers opposite her coldly. Just now, she had lost control of her emotions. What she hated the most now was being asked to be just and righteous by others who knew nothing about her. Back then, for the sake of the people of Ming Qi, for the sake of Fu Xiuyi, she volunteered to be a hostage in the State of Qin. When she returned to the palace, what awaited her was the coldness and heartlessness of an emperor. The Shen family had assisted the emperor for the sake of the country, but what they got in return was execution. Why should they be the sacrificers? Why should she be asked to be the savior? The Chen sisters were indeed very pitiful. Back then, when she was forced to hang herself to death, who offered a hand to help her and wasn’t she pitiful too?

In this world, no matter how difficult life was, one had to walk on their own. No one was responsible for saving others.

Chen Yuehai was silent for a moment before saying to Shen Miao, “Miss Shen, I’m sorry.”

Shen Miao calmed down and said, “That’s all the information I can provide you.”

“The two of us believe in Miss Shen.” Chen Yueshan said, “However, the most important thing now is to find out where my sister is. If we find her, the Chen family will definitely reward you handsomely.”

“I’ve already said that I don’t need that much money. I just wish to befriend the Chen family.” Shen Miao said, “However… I have something to say. I wonder if the two of you want to listen…”

“Please, we’re all ears.” Chen Yueshan cupped his hands.

“Prince Yu is narrow-minded. If anyone provokes him, he will not hesitate to take revenge. The Chen family is influential and powerful, but it’s nothing compared to the royal family. I believe the two of you not only want to save your sister, but also avenge her.”
