798 Conviction (5)
Shen Miao? Oh right, Shen Miao!
Shen Miao must have done it behind the scenes!
Shen Dongling suddenly had an idea. She took off a bracelet from her wrist. After she was sent to the prison, she had almost used up all her jewelry to bribe the prison guards. This bracelet was given to her by Madam Wang the day she married Wang Bi. It was extremely expensive and was almost enough to buy a shop in a remote place. She stuffed the bracelet into the hands of the prison guard and said anxiously, “Please help me. Find my fifth sister and send a message to her for me. Tell her that I have something to say to her.” She then said sincerely, “I hope you can help me one last time.”
She was good-looking to begin with. When she put on such a pitiful expression, the guard’s heart softened. He took the bracelet and said, “In that case, I’ll help you this time. However, I’m only in charge of delivering a message. I can’t guarantee if Fifth Miss Shen will come or not.”
Shen Dongling quickly thanked him.
Wang Bi sneered, looking tired. It was unknown if he was mocking himself or Shen Dongling, but he said, “Do you think Shen Miao will come to save you?”
“I don’t know if she’ll come or not.” Shen Dongling was no longer as weak as when she was facing the prison guards. Her expression was a little ruthless. “If she’s willing to save me, I’m willing to be her servant. Since we’re family, we naturally have to help each other.”
The prison guard really delivered a message to Shen Miao. However, Shen Miao interrupted him and expressed that she did not want to go.
Among the three branches of the Shen family, only the first branch was still standing in the capital like an impregnable wall. Two years ago, Shen Xin was demoted and chased out of the capital. Not one expected him to return two years later. Not only that, but Shen Xin was doing better than two years ago. One was a prisoner, and the other was the daughter of a general with a lot of power. No matter what, the prison guard would not choose to offend Shen Miao.
The prison guard left.
Shen Miao sat in front of the dressing mirror. As Jingzhe combed her hair, she asked, “I thought Miss would go and see Third Miss.”
Gu Yu glared at her. “Why would Miss go to see here? After all, the second and third branches have nothing to do with us. Moreover, they committed a capital crime. If People saw Miss going to see Third Miss, wouldn’t they spread rumors?”
Jingzhe stuck out her tongue and said, “Miss, you went to see Second Miss and Eldest Miss for the last time, but why don’t you want to see Third Miss for the last time?”
“Shen Dongling is not an ordinary person.” Shen Miao listened to the two of them argue and said, “She specially set up a trap form. I won’t jump in.”
“A trap?” Jingzhe’s expression suddenly changed. “Miss, are you saying that Third Miss wants to harm you?”
“Never relax vigilance against evildoers,” Shen Miao said indifferently.
Among the daughters of the Shen family, Shen Yue and Shen Qing were pampered by their mothers. They were vicious, but they were not very scheming. However, Shen Dongling was different. Shen Dongling and Concubine Wan had been suppressed by Ren Wanyun. Shen Dongling, who had survived in such an environment, was more strong-willed than ordinary people. The fact that she could endure for more than ten years and make herself almost invisible was enough to prove this.
Shen Miao had never dared to underestimate such an enemy. If Shen Yue and Shen Qing suffered a heavy blow, they would panic first. However, Shen Dongling would still try to seize every opportunity to make a comeback. As long as she was not dead, she would not give up.
