In the tearoom, Ji Yushu was suddenly enlightened. Previously, when Shen Miao said that she wanted to create a rumor, the rumor was targeted at Prince Yu. At this moment, the clues she sold to the Chen family were also related to Prince Yu. It seemed that Gao Yang was right. The Shen family and Prince Yu had a deep hatred for each other. They had set a trap for Prince Yu and were waiting for him to fall into it. However, when he thought about it, Ji Yushu felt a little depressed. People who came to the All-Knowing-Scholar to buy and sell clues all wanted money. Unlike Shen Miao, who practically used the All-Knowing-Scholar as a tool to rope in the Chen family and deal with Prince Yu.

However… Ji Yushu thought to himself, no matter how powerful the Chen family was, Prince Yu was after all backed by the royal family. Unless it was really a blood feud, they couldn’t possibly make a move on Prince Yu and risk offending the emperor.

“Is Miss Shen telling the truth?” Chen Yueshan’s voice was hoarse. Everyone in the dynasty knew that Prince Yu was a pervert. If the Chen sisters fell into his hands, it wasn’t hard to imagine what kind of misery they lived in.

“I have no reason to lie to you.”

“But how can you prove that what you said is true?” Chen Yuehai suddenly shouted excitedly. Perhaps it was because he couldn’t believe it or because he couldn’t bring himself to believe it, but he became especially aggressive to Shen Miao.

“The Chen sisters were beautiful and taken as the apples of everyone’s eyes in the Chen family. Prince Yu had always liked to seek excitement, so he spent a lot of effort to kidnap the Chen sisters. Then, he quickly brought them to the capital overnight. When the Chen family was still searching for the missing sisters in Yuzhou, the Chen sisters had already been taken to Prince Yu’s mansion.” At this point, Shen Miao paused for a moment and continued, “After that… Prince Yu tortured them with terrifying methods. The Chen sisters wanted to kill themselves, but they were all stopped by Prince Yu. Later, the elder sister tried to please him, hoping that by doing so, her younger sister could escape. In fact, Prince Yu knew their plan and pretended not to know. After that, the elder sister was given to his subordinates for fun and then beaten to death. While on the run, the younger sister was humiliated and lost one of her eyes. She then found a job to clean the toilets. She wanted to survive because this was the life that her elder sister had fought for her. However…” Shen Miao let out a sigh.” She actually never escaped Prince Yu’s hands. The job was set up by Prince Yu to trick her into believing that there was hope and watch her slowly lose her hope.

Her voice was calm and cold, and there was only a hint of pity at the end, but it made people feel a chill run down their spines. Ji Yushu was also shocked. Although he knew about Prince Yu’s horrifying methods of torturing women, this was the first time he had heard someone describe it in such detail. It was easy to kill a person, but it was very difficult to make a person live a life worse than death. As for that younger sister of the Chen family, she thought that she had escaped and lived on with hope, hoping that she could be saved and avenge her elder sister However, she did not know that her life was still in the hands of Prince Yu and that she was just a plaything for him.

These words made the Chen brothers fall silent. Chen Yuehai slowly reached out and covered his head, suddenly howling in pain. His voice was like a wounded beast, making people’s hearts tighten. Ji Yushu could not help but look at him sympathetically.

Shen Miao looked at him and sighed in her heart. In the first half of their lives, the Shen sisters led a comfortable life and were supposed to continue doing so. However, in the second half of their lives, they were more miserable than animals. What had the Chen sisters done to deserve that?

“Miss Shen…” Chen Yueshan was more collected than Chen Yuehai. Even so, his voice was still trembling.” How can you prove that what you said is true? All of this is just your one-sided story.” No matter how collected a person was, when they heard things that they didn’t want to believe, they would try to deny it. This was what people would do when the defense mechanism kicked in.
