What was Shen Yuan up to? He was nowhere to be seen in the Shen mansion, so Shen Miao could not find out.

“Miss, don’t worry. By the way.” Jingzhe suddenly thought of something. “Tao Yuan said that Miss Jing sent an invitation letter to that man and has already received a reply. She’ll go to meet him tomorrow.”

Shen Miao’s eyes lit up. “Very good.” Shen Yuan made her feel uneasy, so some things had to be done as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in Lake Immortal Pavillion, a group of people were also discussing this.

“Shen Yuan has already collected all the evidence against Shen Xin and handed it to Fu Xiuyi.” Ji Yushu said, “Three days later, Fu Xiuyi will hand it to the emperor. At that time, the Shen family will probably be done for.”

“He can even find evidence of Shen Xin defying the imperial edict. At the very least, Shen Xin will be forced to retire and leave the capital.” Gao Yang said, “This Shen Yuan is surprisingly capable.”

“Didn’t I tell you already?” Ji Yushu was a little impatient. “Shen Yuan has secretly been trying to deal with Shen Xin for many years. He’s been planning and waiting for a chance to make a move. If he was given two more years, the evidence he collected would be enough to wipe out the entire first branch of the Shen family.”

“That’s why Fu Xiuyi is indeed quite good at roping in useful people.” Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “Shen Xin is too powerful. There are too many people who want to deal with him. More importantly, the royal family is actually happy to see this. If Shen Xin falls, they will be the first ones to step on him.”

“So what should we do now?” Ji Yushu felt a headache coming on. “Shen Yuan is as wily as Fu Xiuyi. Miss Shen will definitely be very sad if her fathers gets into trouble.”

“You’re still thinking about Shen Miao?” Gao Yang rolled his eyes at him. “If not for Shen Miao setting Shen Yuan up and forcing him to marry a useless girl, he wouldn’t have taken action so early. Originally, with his personality, he would wait at least for another two years to wipe out the entire first branch of the Shen family. It’s Shen Miao who cornered him and forced him to strike back.” Gao Yang rubbed his chin. “Given how much Shen Yuan hates Shen Miao, he definitely won’t let her off easily this time. Perhaps the rest of the Shen family can still survive, but Shen Miao will not.”

Ji Yushu paced about anxiously. “Then what should we do? Don’t tell me that bastard Shen Yuan will use some nasty tricks on Miss Shen. He can even set up his uncle. There is nothing this evil person won’t do.”

“Don’t worry.” Gao Yang said slowly, “Shen Miao is not to be trifled with. I’m very curious about what she will do to turn the tide this time. With her personality, I have a feeling that she won’t give up so easily.”

“Miss Shen is resourceful. Shen Yuan will not be her match.” Ji Yushu suddenly thought of something and looked at Gao Yang. “Before Third Brother Xie left, he specifically instructed us not to interfere in the Shen family’s matters, so… if she wins, you’re not allowed to help Shen Yuan.”

“You’re quite confident in her.” Gao Yang opened his fan and waved it. “But I also want to see what she will do.” Seeing Ji Yushu heave a sigh of relief, Gao Yang poured cold water on him mercilessly. “But don’t worry too much. Ever since Xie’s plan was brought forward, the situation in the capital has changed a lot. One thing that won’t change is Prince Ding’s ambition. No matter how capable Shen Miao is, she’s just a girl after all. Prince Ding is not stupid like Prince Yu. This time, Shen Xin will most likely lose his power. Once Shen Xin is powerful…” He sighed. “To the first branch of the Shen family, it’s a disaster. He won’t be able to protect anyone he wants.”
