Chapter 232: Can’t Bring Himself to do It (4)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Occasionally, when commoners passed by the mansion, they would look at it and sneer hatefully. Over the years, everyone knew about how notorious Prince Yu was. Seeing evil people end up getting punished was probably the happiest thing in the world.

When Shen Qiu and the others rushed to Prince Yu’s mansion, they were struck dumb by this scene. The difference between the festive atmosphere yesterday and the desolation today formed a sharp contrast, making people feel dazed for a moment. Even Shen Qiu, who was used to seeing death on the battleground, could not help but feel sad.

After all, it was undoubtedly a tragedy that no one survived.

Shen Qiu’s soldiers explained their intentions of coming to the officials at the entrance of Prince Yu’s mansion. The officials let them in, and the group followed Shen Qiu in. As soon as they entered, they were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they were speechless.

The corpses of the servants in the mansion had been dragged away, but the blood left behind from last night was still there. It was frozen and looked very terrifying, painting the entire mansion scarlet. Even the thick snow could not hide the strong smell of blood. Looking at the scarlet ground, one seemed to be able to picture the tragic massacre taking place in the snow last night as well as hear the desperate cries as the people were being slaughtered.

The soldiers were all a little frightened. Shen Qiu also frowned tightly. He suddenly remembered that Shen Miao was beside him and was afraid that she would be frightened. He quickly looked at Shen Miao and wanted to cover her eyes. However, when he turned around, he saw that Shen Miao’s gaze was intent and calm, even more so than the soldiers around him.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes and looked at the blood on the ground. The blood of her enemy would only make her excited. In her previous life, the massacre that happened to the entire Shen family must be more tragic than this. She was not moved, nor was she sympathetic. She wanted to laugh out loud and take out a knife to slash Prince Yu’s corpse.

“Sister…” Shen Qiu asked hesitantly,” I’m going to investigate. Do you want to find a room to rest?”

Shen Miao looked at the southwest corner of Prince Yu’s mansion and smiled. “When I came yesterday, I heard from the maids that there’s a tearoom there where I can rest. I’m going there to take a short nap. Brother, after you’re done, come to the tearoom to find me.”

“Over there?” Shen Qiu followed Shen Miao’s gaze. The trees in the southwest corner were lush and exquisitely trimmed. He nodded and said, “Ask Mo Qing to go in with you. Don’t run around.”

Shen Miao agreed and walked to the southwest corner with Mo Qing. Today, she was afraid that her maids would be frightened by the blood in Prince Yu’s mansion, so Shen Miao did not bring a single maid with her. Mo Qing was a guard, so he was naturally not afraid of the ghastly scene.

Mo Qing followed behind Shen Miao and was surprised to find that Shen Miao seemed to be familiar with this place. She knew where the corners were, where the corridors were, and where to go up the stairs.

The tearoom was hidden behind the flowers, and there were grapevines on the shelves outside. The grapes would bear fruits in the summer, so it would definitely be pleasant to sit here drinking wine and enjoying the cool shade.

“Wait for me outside.” Shen Miao said to Mo Qing, “I’ll go in alone.”

Mo Qing was a little hesitant. Shen Miao glanced at him and said, “It’s just a tea room. If you’re worried, go in and take a look.”
