The day passed quickly. When Shen Miao came to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop on the third day, the Chen brothers had been waiting for a long time.
Compared to before, the two of them seemed to have changed a lot, especially Chen Yueshan. His straightforward and upright aura was gone, and it was replaced by a deep gloom. Shen Miao glanced at Chen Yueshan and Chen Yuehai, and she had a rough idea what happened. The two of them had probably already asked around about their sister, and perhaps they had even seen her with their own eyes. Seeing their beloved sister live such a miserable life must be a great stimulation to them. Otherwise, the Chen brothers wouldn’t have gone to assassinate Prince Yu in the previous life.
“Miss Shen.” Chen Yuehai was the first to speak. He said, “Miss Shen, can you tell us how to prevent the royal family from finding out it’s the Chen family who assassinated Prince Yu?”
Ji Yushu stared at his teacup, deliberately avoiding looking at Shen Miao.
Shen Miao sighed. “I naturally want to help, but like I said before, this way, the risk I’m taking will be huge. In a way, the Shen family and the Chen family will be tied on the same boat. If anything goes wrong, the Shen family will also suffer.”
Chen Yueshan paused for a moment and said, “I know that we’re pulling you into a dangerous situation that has nothing to do with you, so… if Miss is willing to help, we will give half of the Chen family’s assets to the Shen family.”
As soon as he said that, even Ji Yushu couldn’t help but look up at Chen Yueshan.
The Chen family was the richest family in Jiangnan. Since ancient times, blessed with geographical advantages, Jiangnan had been an affluent place. The Chen family probably had more money than the royal family. If the Shen family could really gain that much money, their power and influence would be taken to another level.
When Shen Miao heard that, she looked at Chen Yueshan’s pleading face and was lost in thought. The Chen family was actually willing to pay such a price to avenge their sisters. They knew that even with Shen Miao’s help, there was no guarantee that they could one hundred percent save their sister. The fact that they were still willing to take the risk showed how important the Chen sisters were to the Chen family. In her previous life, Shen Miao was imprisoned and helpless. If the Shen family was still around at that time, would her parents and brother do everything they could to save her?
“Miss Shen?” Seeing that Shen Miao was absent-minded, Chen Yueshan called her.
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said with a smile, “Forget about your family assets. I’m not helping you because I want your money. I just want to build a good relationship with the Chen family. If I need your help in the future, please don’t turn your backs on me. Secondly, I am also enemies with Prince Yu. If he’s around, he’ll remain a constant threat to me.” She looked at Chen Yueshan. “Now, we’re on the same boat.”
Chen Yueshan looked at Shen Miao in front of him. Her eyes were clear and her tone was sincere, as if every word she said was from the bottom of her heart. From the first time he met her until now, she did not act like a young girl. Chen Yueshan could not help but wonder if his sisters could also have the temperament and wisdom of the girl in front of him, would they end up differently?
At the thought of his sister, Chen Yueshan’s mood immediately darkened. He asked, “Miss Shen, what’s the idea you have in mind?”
“You don’t have to worry about the royal family for the time being. Leave them to me. In addition, if you want to make a move, it’s best to do it next month. Prince Yu wants to marry my cousin. On the second day of the marriage, the security will definitely be relaxed. When the time comes, it will be foolproof to make a move early in the morning. ”
“You…” Chen Yueshan wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and said,” How are you going to take care of the royal family within a month? ”
Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu, who was drinking tea, with a faint smile. “You don’t have to worry about that. The most important thing now is to gather your men.” After a pause, she continued, “Prince Yu’s mansion is not small. You have to figure out the layout first. On the day of execution, other than my cousin, you have to kill them all.”
