On the day the entire Shen family was massacred, Shen Xiaowei, the legitimate daughter, cut off her vocal cords with her own hands.
Three years later, she became the quietest mute maid in the Regent's Palace. Everyone said that Prince Xiao Jue was violent and vicious, but he allowed this mute girl to get close to him.
He watched her pruning flower branches, watched her study ink and read, and even... Watched her mix poison into his wine glass.
He drank the poisoned wine, wiped the blood from her trembling eyes, and smiled: "Finally, you are willing to touch my things with your own hands."
It wasn't until the rebels surrounded the house and he was covered in blood and protected her behind him that she finally heard the truth from his broken words——
It turns out that all this wealth and power are just a bloody road paved for her revenge.
The real culprit who framed the Shen family was the hypocritical Prince of the East Palace.
Later, the Jindian complained about the injustice and the Shen family came out.
The regent who once had all the power in the government gave up his military power in public, just to say in exchange for her: "Xiao Jue, let's go home."
