As soon as he said that, Ren Wanyun stopped scolding. She looked at Shen Yuan in a daze. “What did you say?”

“Now that the entire Shen family is dragged into this mess, our second branch will be the first to be implicated. You don’t care about Father and me losing our official positions, but what about my little brother who is only a few years old?” Shen Yuan said.

Ren Wanyun looked at him and instantly looked a little flustered. “What does this have to do with Yuanbai? He is still so young. How can he be implicated? No one is more innocent than him.”

“Mother, no one is innocent in this matter.” Shen Yuan sneered. “Am I not innocent?” After taking a deep breath, he continued, “Mother, the rumors are now spreading like wildfire. If we provoke someone we shouldn’t at this time, I’m afraid the entire family will suffer.” He looked at Ren Wanyun and said in a low voice, “You want Shen Miao to die with you. But do you want my little brother to die for nothing?”

Ren Wanyun was stunned, and she couldn’t help but tremble. It had to be known that she did have this thought of dying together with Shen Miao. Although she hated Shen Miao to the core, hated the coldness of the entire Shen family, hated the heartlessness of Shen Gui, hated Old Madam Shen’s reaction, and hated the inaction of the third branch. She even thought that it didn’t matter if the entire Shen family was implicated because of Shen Qing. If she could kill everyone in the first branch, it would be considered revenge taken.

However, Shen Yuan pointed out one thing. If the Shen family was really implicated, Shen Yuanbai could not avoid the punishment either. Since ancient times, the emperor loved the eldest son, and the people doted on the youngest son. Shen Yuanbai was smart since he was young, and Ren Wanyun had always been very fond of him. Shen Yuanbai had to die with the entire Shen family, she couldn’t accept it.

“Then… Yuan, what should we do?” Ren Wanyun looked at Shen Yuan as if he was her life-saving straw and her backbone. The madness from before was gone.

“Mother, we can’t be greedy.” Shen Yuan looked at her with a cruel gaze. “You can only keep one, either Sister or Brother.”

In the prison near the government office in the capital, there were guards standing outside.

In this massacre case, Shen Qing was actually in a very awkward position. On the surface, she looked like a pitiful person. As soon as she married Prince Yu, she encountered a massacre. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to have survived. However, if one thought about it deeper, there were many doubts regarding this case. Perhaps it really had something to do with Shen Qing. Even if it had nothing to do with her, all kinds of guesses or rumors about her being a jinx were enough to make her name the center of discussion in the capital. From the looks of it, it seemed better if she died during the massacre.

Emperor Wen Hui’s attitude towards Prince Yu’s case was also intriguing. He said that he would investigate this case thoroughly, but he only entrusted this case to the capital’s magistrate and the government without even bothering to ask about the progress. With Emperor Wen Hui’s close relationship with Prince Yu, it was strange that he was so indifferent. The emperor’s thoughts had always been difficult to guess, and the courtiers didn’t dare to make bold guesses as to what Emperor Wen Hui wanted to do, so they could only lock Shen Qing, the most likely suspect, up for the time being.

This was actually a little farcical. The only woman who survived the massacre was unarmed, but she was taken as the culprit. Sometimes, things in the world were really strange.

When Shen Miao arrived at the gate of the prison, the head of the prison guards was stunned to see her. He went forward and asked, “Who are you?”
