Instead of killing them all now, it was better to let them live with hope. Shen Gui thought that he still had a son, and Ren Wanyun also thought that Shen Yuanbai would replace Shen Yuan. However, one day, when Shen Yuanbai could not escape the calamity, the seed of despair lurking in the second branch would break out of the ground and drown the entire second branch.

The second branch was destined to have no descendants, but now, they were filled with hope. They did not know that the footsteps of misfortune were already slowly approaching them and the day when the sickle would swing down and reap their hope was not far.

The chess game was ready, and the chess pieces were advancing forward step by step as planned. Wasn’t this good?

“Miss, Mo Qing came over just now.” Bai Lu walked in and said with a troubled expression, “He said that he has already spent all the banknotes you gave him and asked if he should continue going to the Treasure Fragrance Chamber.”

Bai Lu was a little embarrassed and confused. What kind of master would give her subordinates money to find a girl? Moreover, it wasn’t a small sum of money. What was more confusing was that every time Mo Qing came back from the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, he looked like he had just survived a catastrophe.

“Go and give him another 500 taels of silver. Also, tell Mo Qing that it’s time to say that to Liu Ying,” Shen Miao said.

The maids in the room were stunned and looked at Shen Miao in confusion. After all, none of them knew what Shen Miao meant by “that”.

Just as Bai Lu was about to go out, she suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Miss, Mrs. Zhang from Rongjing Hall came over a while ago. She seems to want to ask about Master and Madam splitting up from the Shen family.”

After Luo Xueyan found out the truth from Jing Guansheng that day and quarreled with Old Madam Shen, she came back and told Shen Xin about it. Shen Xin was naturally furious and immediately went to Rongjing Hall to argue with Old Madam. Luo Xueyan wanted to split up from the Shen family, and Shen Xin was also disappointed by the Shen family, so he agreed without hesitation. Even if it meant he couldn’t inherit the assets left behind by Old General Shen, Shen Xin was still bent on splitting up. Old Madam Shen knew that she still needed to rely on Shen Xin’s reputation and money. Seeing that this time, Shen Xin was being serious, she pretended to have a stroke and fainted.

Naturally, Mrs. Zhang came to ask if Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan really meant everything they said.

“If she comes to ask again, tell her that we’ve made up our mind to split up from the family. And tell her to take good care of Old Madam. If Old Madam can’t recover from her stroke, we’ll get the elders from the family to come and help us with the splitting up procedure.”

The elders in the family had always looked down on Old Madam Shen’s background. When Old General Shen was alive, he favored Shen Xin, so the elders would naturally be biased towards him. They wouldn’t let Old Madam Shen get too much out of the separation.

“I understand.” Bai Lu smiled and left.

Shen Miao sat down at the table. Her path in this life had just begun, but she already had to plan so many things. It was not easy to protect the Shen family while taking revenge.

She had to take one step at a time and do it slowly.

Gradually, the events happening in the capital became just a topic for casual chats between the commoners. After some time, there would be new topics to replace the old.

The Treasure Fragrance Chamber was as lively as ever. Recently, a new batch of Persian dancers arrived. They were beautiful and open-minded, and the young masters of the capital flocked to patronize them. The Treasure Fragrance Chamber was already prosperous, but now, it was almost packed with people.

Men liked new excitement. When the dancers became popular, the courtesans were pushed out of the limelight. However, among these pleasure-seeking men, one of them was especially different. Just as he walked to the door, the girl at the door waved her handkerchief and said with a smile, “Master Mo, you’re not seeing Miss Liu Ying today, right?”
