Shen Yue said worriedly, “What will those people do to Fifth Sister? She’s good-looking. I heard that kidnappers will sell good-looking girls very far away… I’m afraid they won’t let her off easy.” As she spoke, two drops of tears flowed down her face, as if she was extremely sad.
A trace of mockery flashed across Chen Dongling’s eyes, but she remained silent.
“Brother, are we going to report it to the government or not?” Shen Wan asked.
Just as the situation was in a deadlock, they suddenly heard the panting voice of a servant outside. “Madam, Master, Fifth Miss is back!”
The servant ran into the hall and continued, “Fifth Miss was sent back by someone from the princess mansion!”
Everyone was shocked by what the servant said about Shen Miao returning to the mansion. Shen Xin and his wife were pleasantly surprised, but when they heard the words “Princess Mansion”, they were stunned for a moment. On the other hand, Shen Wan’s heart skipped a beat. He took a step forward and asked, “Which princess?”
The servant caught his breath and said excitedly, “It’s Princess Rong Xin. She sent many people to escort Fifth Miss back. The guards are all standing at the entrance!”
Princess Rong Xin?
Chen Ruoqiu stopped in her tracks and bit her lip.
Men weren’t as familiar with Princess Rong Xin who never involved herself in the matters of the imperial court as women, especially the noblewomen in the capital. Now, the women in the palace all had to respect Princess Rong Xin, but it was extremely difficult to get close to her. She was serious and stubborn. Many noble ladies wanted to please her, but they were always given a cold shoulder. However, this princess, who was said to be the most stern and stubborn, actually sent people to escort Shen Miao back? From the looks of it, the escort team seemed to be huge.
Chen Ruoqiu was so jealous that she was about to go crazy.
Without a word, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan ran out of the door and walked towards the entrance. Seeing this, the others followed. They saw a dark crowd at the entrance. When they got closer, they could see clearly that they were all armed guards in armor.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were stunned. They were surprised to see so many guards. A woman walked to the carriage and helped Shen Miao down.
Luo Xueyan quickly went up to her and said worriedly, “Jiaojiao!” She sized up Shen Miao from head to toe. Seeing that Shen Miao was safe and sound, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The maid smiled and said, “Today, when Her Highness was enjoying the festival at Wanli Lake, she happened to see Fifth Miss Shen who was lost. The princess’s carriage accidentally knocked down Fifth Miss Shen, so Princess brought Fifth Miss Shen back to the princess mansion to get treated. Princess asked me to apologize to you for making you worried.”
That clearly explained why Shen Miao ended up with Princess Rong Xin. Although there was something fishy about the maid’s words, since Princess Rong Xin had already said so, no one dared to question the validity of the story.
Behind the crowd, Old Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned ashen. Today, she finally waited for a chance to make Shen Miao suffer, but Princess Rong Xin came out of nowhere and ruined everything. Old Madam Shen hated Princess Rong Xin for being such a busybody.
“I should be the one thanking Her highness for saving my daughter,” Shen Xin replied.
The maid bowed and said with a smile, “I’ve already brought Fifth Miss Shen back, so I’ll leave first.” With that, she dispersed the guards. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and walked to Shen Miao’s side. “Her Highness likes Fifth Miss Shen very much. Before you left, she said that if Fifth Miss Shen has time in the future, please go to see her in the princess mansion. Her Highness will definitely treat you well.” With that, she left.
