At the stone table in the west courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Miao was playing chess with Shen Qiu.

It was rare for Shen Qiu to not have to practice swordsmanship. Knowing that Shen Miao’s chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds, Shen Qiu had been looking forward to playing with her. However, the outcome was not satisfactory.

Shen Miao placed a black piece down. Across the chess board, the white piece was gradually besieged by the black piece. Shen Qiu looked at it for a long time in a daze and asked Shen Miao, “Sister, isn’t this the tactic I used in the first round?”

He felt that the chess maneuvers were a little familiar. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. Shen Miao was using the tactic he used and was doing it much better than he did.

“I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.” Shen Miao smiled. “Brother, can’t you think of a way to deal with your own creation?”

Shen Qiu shook his head. “This is the same tactic I used to deal with the enemies. I didn’t intend to leave the enemies any chance of survival so naturally there is no way out.”

Shen Miao looked at the chessboard and smiled.

In her previous life, Shen Qiu killed Sun Cainan and went to prison. Now that she thought about it, Shen Yuan must have contributed a lot to the outcome. She wondered if Shen Yuan would find the same method familiar.

Just as Shen Qiu scratched his head and was about to place his piece, he suddenly saw a second-class maid rushing over from the courtyard. The maid’s face was filled with fear as she said in a panic, “First Master, Fifth Miss. Second Master killed someone!”

“What?” Shen Qiu frowned. A chess piece fell to the ground.

Shen Miao bent down and picked up the chess piece. She looked at the maid and asked gently, “Who did he kill?”

In the prison, Shen Yuan was locked up in the innermost room. His hands and clothes were dyed red with blood, and his face was a little bruised.

This was the first time Shen Yuan had fallen into such a sorry state. When he was fighting with Jing Chuchu, for some reason, he was feeling very irritable, as if blood was rushing in his brain. When he came back to senses, Sun Cainan had already been stabbed to death by him. The restaurant was built of wood, so the scream immediately alarmed the customers who rushed up and witnessed the murder scene.

Only at this moment did Shen Yuan gradually calm down and realize that he was being too impulsive today.

Shen Yuan had been conceited all his life, and what he hated the most was people trampling on his dignity. The Shen family’s banquet had already made him feel humiliated enough. Now that everyone in the capital knew that he was going to marry Jing Chuchu, Jing Chuchu was still cheating on him outside. When all the anger he’d accumulated over the days exploded, he made the worse choice in this life.

Jing Chuchu, on the other hand, had been taken somewhere, but since this matter was caused by her, she would not have an easy time either.

However… Shen Yuan was still a little puzzled. Why did the people of the restaurant know him and Jing Chuchu? Why did Jing Chuchu choose that room to meet Sun Cainan? He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he quickly shook his head. That place was where he met Fu Xiuyi’s people. Other than Fu Xiuyi’s people, no one else knew about it.

Shen Yuan thought to himself that Fu Xiuyi’s people probably already knew about this and went back to report.

At this moment, he had completely calmed down. The panic had disappeared, and the blood on his clothes and the dark cell did not make him feel scared.
