Chapter 344: Separation (2)

Shen Miao slowly squatted down to keep her eyes level with his. She smiled and said, “Second Brother must be having a hard time in this damp cell these days. Second Aunt is crazy, and Second Uncle refuses to come and see you. Speaking of which, Old Madam dotes on you the most. However, Old Madam ordered yesterday that no one is allowed to mention your name within the confines of the mansion. It seems like she has given up on you. After thinking about it, I decided to come to see you for the last time. We are a family after all.”

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Miao. Words could kill and destroy a person’s hope. What Shen Miao did now was to dismantle his hope to live. When he was in prison, no one even came to visit him. It was heartbreaking for Shen Yuan. Although Old Madam used to treat him well, it was only because he was talented and smart. Now that he was a prisoner, Old Madam Shen would definitely quickly draw a line between them to avoid getting into trouble.

“Now that I think about it, Second Brother and Eldest Sister are really siblings. Both of you have been to prison. However, when Eldest Sister was in prison, Second Aunt tried all she could to save her. But no one does that for you.”

Shen Yuan did not speak.

“Second Brother, why aren’t you talking?” Shen Miao tilted her head and looked at him. “Don’t you want to talk to me? Or…” She suddenly smiled.” Have you been drugged with mute medicine?”

Shen Yuan was stunned. Shen Miao actually knew that he had been drugged. Before he could figure out why she knew, Shen Miao’s following words shocked him even more.

“It seems like Fu Xiuyi still likes to use the old methods. Nothing changed,” Shen Miao said expressionlessly.

Shen Yuan’s eyes widened when he heard Fu Xiuyi’s name from Shen Miao. How did Shen Miao know that he was working for Fu Xiuyi? Moreover, from her tone, she seemed to know Fu Xiuyi very well. Shen Yuan was shocked beyond words. No matter how brilliant Shen Miao had become, Shen Yuan did not think too highly of her, because there was only so much a young girl was capable of doing. However, when Shen Miao brought up Fu Xiuyi’s name, Shen Yuan changed his opinion of her completely.

“Second Brother, you don’t have to be so surprised.” Shen Miao glanced at him and said, “Not only do I know Fu Xiuyi, but I also know his plan. If you want to tell Fu Xiuyi about me knowing everything to make him save you, I’m afraid it’s already too late. Prince Ding is a cautious person by nature. To avoid arousing suspicion, he won’t have any contact with you until you die. From the moment you became useless, he won’t have anything to do with you, and he won’t let you get in his way.”

Shen Yuan’s heart began to beat wildly. Shen Miao was right. Fu Xiuyi was that kind of person. Therefore, after yesterday, he waited for his death in despair. He had thought about exposing Fu Xiuyi, but after a second thought, he knew that would only bring him an even more miserable death.

He stretched out his fingers and wrote a few words on the dusty ground with the muddy water in the bowl.

What do you want?

Shen Miao laughed out loud. When she laughed, her eyes and the corners of her mouth were curved. She still looked like that foolish Shen Miao a year ago who didn’t know anything, but the smile on her face made people feel a chill run down their spines.

Shen Miao finally stopped laughing and looked at Shen Yuan. “Second Brother, don’t you know what I want?”

You want to deal with the second branch? Shen Yuan wrote on the ground.

“Not just the second branch,” Shen Miao suddenly lowered her voice. A trace of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across her eyes. She said, “But also the third branch, Old Madam, and… Prince Ding.”
