682 Execution (3)
Chen Ruoqiu glanced at Chang Zaiqing and sneered. Then, she thought of something and her gaze became filled with despair.
She had lied to Shen Yue about whether they could go out or not this time, and most likely, they would die.
No one understood Shen Wan’s gaze better than Chen Ruoqiu. As long as there was still a trace of hope, Shen Wan would not have this reaction. He sat there indifferently, looking stupefied, as if he did not care about anything. Whether it was the Shen family becoming the laughing stock of the capital, the scuffle between Old Madam Shen and Chang Zaiqing, or the miscarriage at this moment, Shen Wan didn’t react at all because he was already in despair.
Even Shen Wan was in despair, so Chen Ruoqiu had no reason to have any hope of living.
However, when she really knew this ending, Chen Ruoqiu didn’t find it as unacceptable as she thought. Perhaps it was because Chen Ruoqiu had already seen the ugly side of human nature when the Chen family and the Shen family were fighting the lawsuit, or perhaps it was because she was divorced by Shen Wan that Chen Ruoqiu was utterly disappointed. At this moment, Chen Ruoqiu was physically and mentally exhausted. After taking her revenge on Chang Zaiqing, she did not care about what was going to happen next.
If they were going to die, they would all die together, right? If they died together, they would be a family again, Chen Ruoqiu thought.
“Third Brother.” Shen Gui was the first to break the silence. He asked, “Do you think our family is haunted by something in recent years? When Father was around, nothing like this ever happened.”
Ever since Shen Gui was diagnosed as infertile, he had been living a self-indulgent life. It was rare for him to be clear-headed. Whether it was true or not, he asked a serious question.
Shen Wan glanced at him and said in a calm tone, from which no one could tell if he was happy or angry, “When Father was around or when Shen Xin was around.”
Shen Gui was at a loss for words. Indeed, to be precise, when the Shen family went downhill, it started from when the first branch split up. In fact, when Shen Xin just returned to the capital two years ago, their official careers were already a little bumpy. It was just that at that time, the Shen family had not split up yet, and their colleagues in the imperial court had to curry favor with them on account of Shen Xin. Later, when Shen Xin left the capital, those people started to walk away, and the Shen family became worse day by day. Although they did not want to admit it, it was the truth. Without Shen Xin, the Shen family was nothing.
Shen Gui asked hesitantly, “Are you saying that someone is plotting against us behind the curtain? This time, we were also set up by someone?”
Shen Wan smiled strangely, but no one knew what he was smiling about.
“Could it be… that Shen Xin was the one who did it?” This thought suddenly struck Shen Gui.
At this moment, Chen Ruoqiu, who was sitting quietly at the side, said, “Shen Miao, that little b*tch Luo Xueyan gave birth to, is very evil. Didn’t you notice that as long as someone is related to Shen Miao, they won’t end up well?”
Shen Wan and Shen Gui looked at Chen Ruoqiu at the same time. Chen Ruoqiu did not seem to notice their gazes and continued, “First, it was Shen Qing and Shen Yuan from the second branch, and now it’s the third branch’s turn. Back then, Second Sister-in-law lost terribly to that little b*tch. Thinking about it carefully, if we have to find a time from which the Shen family started to go downhill, it was when that little b*tch’s personality suddenly changed.”
In the past, in the eyes of Shen Wan and Shen Gui, Shen Miao was at most a little smart, but she was not that capable. However, now that they listened to Chen Ruoqiu analyze it, they felt that it made sense. For example, Princess Ming An died for no reason after having a grudge with Shen Miao a while back, and her case was still left unsolved.
