Li Mei looked at her in confusion, her charming eyes filled with confusion, as if she was a completely different person from the one Shen Miao remembered.

“Instinct,” Shen Miao said coldly. Then, without looking back, she walked past Li Mei with Jingzhe and Gu Yu.

Li Mei stood rooted to the ground for a while, shook her head, and left.

Standing far away, Shen Miao looked at her back, her expression as cold as ice.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu did not dare to say a word. For some reason, they always felt that when Shen Miao faced this unfamiliar lady, she seemed to become very terrifying. That kind of terrifying look… was something they had never seen from Shen Miao in the past.

“You’re leaving?” Shen Miao muttered to herself. Then, she said coldly, “Can you leave?” She turned around. “Call Mo Qing over.”

Mo Qing quickly came to Shen Miao’s room and said, “Madam, I have something to report.”

Shen Miao said, “Put your matters aside for now. I have something more important for you to do.”

Mo Qing was puzzled. “Madam, at your service.”

“Kill Li Mei and Li Ke for me.”

Mo Qing was stunned.

Shen Miao continued, “I’ve been thinking about it. Although it is not appropriate and might cause trouble for Prince Rui, if these two people don’t die, it will be a variable I can’t control. I’d rather be accused of than let these two people live and become an even bigger disaster in the future. These two wolves haven’t sharpened their claws yet. Once they have, It won’t be that easy to kill them.”

“I’m not asking you for an opinion. I just want to ask you if you can kill them,” Shen Miao asked in a low voice. Her voice lingered in the room, as if it came from hell, but it was filled with determination.

The dream of Wanyu and Fu Ming reminded her that she could not be indecisive. Since there was no way to get the best of both worlds, she would kill them first. She would think about how to clean up the mess later. Now that the siblings were just the children of merchants, killing them would be much less troublesome. If they found someone to rely on in the future, it would be even more difficult.

Moreover, Li Mei had also said today that they would leave soon. Where would they go after leaving? To a place that could protect them better? As long as Li Mei and Li Ke were alive, Shen Miao would not be able to get over it and would distance from Xie Jingxing.

In this life, she chose to kill Li Mei and Li Ke now. As for what role the Daliang Dynasty’s royal family played in the death of her two children in her previous life, she did not want to pursue it. This was the biggest concession she could make for Xie Jingxing.

Mo Qing suddenly knelt down and said, “Forgive me for not being able to do it.”

Shen Miao stared at him.

“I was about to tell you. I just heard that the family Li Mei and her brother are looking for is the current prime minister, Ye Maocai. Li Mei and her brother are Madam Ye’s children.” Mo Qing said, “The Ye family has already sent people over to pick them up.”

Shen Miao staggered back and said, “What did you say?”

“I failed you, Madam. I can’t kill the siblings. Punish me as you wish!”

Mo Qing did not dare to look up for a long time. For some reason, he could almost imagine the disappointment in Shen Miao’s eyes. He was too ashamed to face Shen Miao.

After an unknown period of time, Shen Miao said, her voice desolate and tired, “It’s not your fault. They came prepared, and I was too hesitant. I missed the opportunity because of my indecisiveness.”
