856 Secret (3)
“If we stay in Ming Qi and one day, Ming Qi and the Daliang Dynasty fight, the people will understand that you are just a woman and can’t do anything to reverse the situation, so they won’t blame you. The Shen family is in Ming Qi, so it’s even more impossible for us to collude with the Daliang Dynasty and be accused of treason.”
Shen Miao shook her head. “If that happens, Father, are you going to fight the Daliang Dynasty for Ming Qi?”
“No.” Shen Xin smiled. “Before that, the emperor will definitely make a move on the Shen family. Even if the emperor doesn’t make a move, I have a way to get him to make a move on the Shen family.” Shen Xin looked at the tea on the table. “The royal family is paranoid. As long as I spread some rumors, the emperor will definitely not be able to hold back from making a move.” He said sarcastically. He had fought for Emperor Wen Hui for many years, protected the country, and risked his life many times. However, as long as Emperor Wen Hui heard these rumors about Shen Xin, he would forget Shen Xin’s contributions and kill him without hesitation.
Once Emperor Wen Hui felt that his throne was threatened, he would not be merciful even to his sons.
“When that day comes…” Shen Xin’s eyes suddenly darkened.” The day the emperor raises his knife to our Shen family will be the day the Shen family rises up!”
He didn’t want the Shen family to be tarnished, but he also didn’t want his beloved to be sacrificed to the despicable royal family. Therefore, he wanted the people of the world to see clearly that the royal family was the one who was heartless to the Shen family first.
Perhaps compared to the royal family, the mighty general with outstanding military achievements would have a higher reputation among the people of Ming Qi. Shen Xin wanted to use this to compete with the royal family.
This was the Shen family’s counterattack against the royal family.
However, Shen Miao was not thinking about this at this moment. She was thinking that this was not Shen Xin’s style of doing things.
Shen Xin was straightforward and non-scheming. This was why ever since Shen Miao was reborn, she had been walking the path of revenge alone. Firstly, Shen Xin wouldn’t scheme against people. Secondly, she was afraid her father would think she was a sinister person.
However, what Shen Xin was doing now was secretly setting up a trap. It was impossible for Shen Xin to take the initiative to do this. He must be guided by someone. Shen Miao thought of someone almost immediately, Xie Jingxing.
She looked at Shen Xin and wanted to speak, but she was lost for words.
Shen Xin seemed to have seen through her inner turmoil. He smiled and patted her head. “I used to think that Jiaojiao couldn’t grow up. Later, while staying in the capital alone, you grew up. I originally thought that it was not good for a little girl to be too mature so early, but now, I’m very glad.” He smiled and said, “I believe that even if Father and Mother are not by your side, you can still protect yourself.”
Shen Miao said, “Father, if you can’t protect the Shen family, write a letter to the Daliang Dynasty. I’m the daughter of the Shen family. I’ll think of a way.”
Shen Xin laughed heartily. “My Jiaojiao is the best girl in the world.”
Shen Miao felt a lump in her throat. It seemed to have started at this moment that she clearly understood that in this life, she was about to leave her family.
“Although Prince Rui is a little cunning and ruthless, he’s still a trustworthy person. Since he agreed to marry you, he will protect you. If you like him, don’t worry about anything. Just do what you want.”
