Shen Miao sat in Princess Rong Xin's mansion for a while, changed her clothes, and was combed her hair nicely by the maid. After drinking a cup of tea, Princess Rong Xin walked in.
"Miss Shen is even alright." Princess Rongxin smiled and said, "I have already ordered the kitchen to get ginger tea. It's such a cold day, keep your body warm and don't catch the cold."
Shen Miao smiled back, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." But there was some suspicion in her heart, Princess Rong Xin had never been so kind to her, she still had that face at the moment, but there was no sternness and indifference in her previous life. It taught Shen Miao to doubt whether the person in front of her was the real Princess Rong Xin.
While she was thinking, Princess Rongxin was also looking at her with thoughtful eyes. Although Princess Rongxin doesn't like to go out, the rumors in Ding capital will eventually fall into her ears. It is precisely because she does not go out often, and the news has stopped a long time ago, that is, the fifth young lady, the direct descendant of Shen's residence in Ding capital, is a straw bag. in fact.
In Princess Rong Xin's impression, Shen Miao was a timid and cowardly woman, but she was a very brazen and bold woman when it came to pursuing men. She had no talent and no virtue, and was born vulgar, so she was worthy of Xie Jing Xing who was excellent in appearance, talent and learning. However, at this moment, the girl's appearance was delicate and her eyes were as clear as water. Even when she was sitting, she had a bit of extravagance and majesty that was rarely seen at this age, which made her feel a little changed.
"Wanli Lake is crowded with people tonight. Miss Shen and her family are separated. She must be frightened." Princess Rongxin smiled and said, "After drinking the ginger tea, Ben Gong will ask the servants to take you back." She said. There was a bit of temptation on the top: "Today you have an accident, and the nephew of Ben Gong is begging me to help you for the first time."
"Nephew" was naturally referring to Xie Jing Xing, Shen Miao looked at Princess Rong Xin's meaningful expression and did not know how to answer these words. After saying that, he was soured by his own words, Xie Jing Xing was so brave? Obviously black hearted. Today, it was originally that she was implicated by Xie Jing Xing, but now it was as if she had accepted a favor from Xie Jing Xing.
Princess Rong Xin saw that Shen Miao was a little alienated, it seemed that she deliberately distanced herself from Xie Jing Xing and felt more satisfied. If Shen Miao was a slap in the face, taking advantage of Xie Jing Xing’s effort today, she could not wait to show that her relationship with Xie Jing Xing was extraordinary and if she wanted to rely on Xie Jing Xing, Princess Rong Xin would look down on Shen Miao without saying a word. . Although I am happy to see the feelings of young boys and girls, but after all, it is from the royal family with strict etiquette.
"What are you talking about." Princess Rong Xin smiled kindly: "That kid Jing Xing also said that you are his friend, so there is no need to meet friends. Speaking of which, Jing Xing is Ben Gong's nephew, you Since you have friendship with him, it is okay to regard this palace as your aunt."
Shen Miao was holding the tea cup and almost choked her throat with a sip of tea. Think of Princess Rongxin as a real aunt? It was when she married Fu Xiu Yi in her previous life and Princess Rong Xin really became her aunt. Later, she wanted to befriend Princess Rong Xin in private, but Princess Rong Xin said coldly, "Forget it. I don't have a niece like you in this palace."
The Princess Rong Xin who had indifferently rejected her closeness, but now said to her kindly, “It is okay to treat me as your aunt.” Shen Miao felt that she was probably dreaming.
Seeing her a little stunned, Princess Rongxin felt that the child was sincere, but she didn't have the scheming of those Miss Houmen, so she took her hand and said, "This palace has no children, so you might as well come and sit here in the future." She faded away. She took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on Shen Miao: "This is a gift from this palace to you."
“This is too precious.” Shen Miao declined. This bracelet is a double ring of sand-blasted peony and jade, with a total of five gold rings interlocking. It is the dowry of the deceased imperial concubine, that is, the dowry of Princess Rongxin's biological mother. Later, Princess Rongxin gave it to her when she got married. . Shen Miao saw Princess Rong Xin ring this double ring in her previous life, which was enough to see what she cherished.
"You wear it." Princess Rongxin said with a smile: "It's just a gadget, gold and silver jewelry, I want to come to your Shen family to have it, don't dislike it."
“How dare the imperial concubine’s bracelets and ministers dislike it,” Shen Miao said, “But it is still too precious…”
Princess Rong Xin was taken aback: "How do you know this is the bracelet of the imperial concubine?"
Shen Miao followed suit and secretly said something bad in her heart. She was the head of the six palaces because of her past life, so she naturally knew everything about the women's family in the palace, but in this life she was only the daughter of a courtier's family, so she naturally wouldn't know about such private matters of the royal family.
Seeing Princess Rong Xin's suspicious eyes, Shen Miao had an idea and said with a smile, "I have heard that Lord Xie Xiaohou mentioned that Lord Xie Xiaohou has a very good relationship with Her Royal Highness and often mentions Her Royal Highness."
“So it is.” Princess Rong Xin’s expression softened immediately and she was relieved, “Ben Gong has treated him as his own child all these years, it is difficult for him to have a conscience.” Having said this, she looked at Shen Miao again. It's different: "However, he actually told you all about it..."
Shen Miao's body froze, and she heard Princess Rong Xin say, "It seems that he really regards you as a 'friend'." Princess Rong Xin sighed, "This child Jing Xing looks a little stubborn, but It is good. For so many years, Ben Gong has never seen him take such care of any girl.” She smiled at Shen Miao with relief, “You are the first one.”
Shen Miao secretly thought in her heart that Princess Rong Xin's appearance was like that of Xie Jing Xing's biological mother. But Xie Jing Xing took a fancy to her, it wasn't because of any romantic situation, I was afraid that Xie Jing Xing would also be suspicious of her, dealing with such a smart person, it really gave me a headache when I took a step.
Just at this moment, the maid brought the boiled ginger tea, Princess Rong Xin picked up some words with Shen Miao and watched Shen Miao drink the ginger tea. The more she chatted with Shen Miao, the more Princess Rong Xin liked Shen Miao. She found that Shen Miao not only did not look stupid as rumored, but she was well-informed and had greatness in her heart. Although she was a simple chatter, she did not feel stern and did not know where the daughter who was raised in the boudoir came from. Such a broad horizon. Thinking of the previous matter of Shen Miao's love for Prince Ding, Princess Rong Xin actually had a trace of worry in her heart, although Prince Ding was also her nephew, Princess Rong Xin's heart was naturally more on Xie Jing Xing's side than Fu Xiu Yi. And such an excellent girl, Princess Rong Xin didn't want to be missed by her nephew, so she kept talking about Xie Jing Xing in the chat.
Princess Rongxin has an indifferent and old-fashioned temperament, let alone an outsider, even her relatives, facing Emperor Wen Hui, still looks icy and cold, but today she was very happy to talk to a strange girl, and almost shocked all the servants of the Princess Mansion. jaw.
However, she did not know that Shen Miao married Fu Xiu Yi in her previous life and hoped to please all her relatives around Fu Xiu Yi. It was just that the previous life had little effect, and now it was just because of the increased relationship with Xie Jing Xing that it just happened to suit Princess Rong Xin's appetite. Knowing that Princess Rong Xin is so flattering, wouldn't it be fine if she managed to manage her relationship with Xie Jing Xing in her previous life, where would she need such a powerful thing.
When it was said that all the incense sticks were about to burn out, Princess Rongxin got up without any thought and said, "It's getting late, and if I don't send you back to the mansion, I think General Shen and Mrs. Shen are anxious to come. This palace has already made people Get the carriage ready, and I'll take you back." After speaking, he got up and ordered the person who came.
After Shen Miao went out with Princess Rong Xin, she was taken aback by this battle, Princess Rong Xin's carriage was extremely gorgeous, what was even more shocking was that she brought a group of guards with swords, Princess Rong Xin laughed, "Today Street There are many masters, and more people are guarding, so that there will be no accidents."
The other party was kind, and Shen Miao had no reason to refuse, and with the power of Princess Rong Xin’s battle, she was able to rectify some people in the Shen residence. She then thanked Princess Tong Rongxin, who was very kind, and then got on the carriage.
On the streets of Ding capital, the crowds have not diminished until now, and the fireworks really have to be put on all night, and the presence of such a crowd of ostentatious people and carriages on the streets of the crowded people is not enough to attract attention.
On the city wall at the corner of the street, a young man in a fox fur is standing at the moment, and a middle-aged man is also beside him. The big man said, "Her Royal Highness actually sent so many bodyguards to escort Miss Shen back to the house."
"Auntie Rong is not a flattering person." The young man said with great interest, "This lady from the Shen family is very capable."
The middle-aged man was silent, and suddenly he heard the young man beside him say, "How is the slaughter caught today?"
"Returning to the master, they are all locked in the tower. Three of them are dead men who have killed themselves by biting the poison. The remaining three have their chins unloaded, and they refuse to speak."
"Then pick one and crush the bones, and don't let go of the whole body. I don't need to teach you to kill chickens and show monkeys."
"Yes." The big man hesitated for a moment: "The one who got into the city..."
"Find it out, kill without mercy."
…
Ding capital was bustling with people, and the unease and danger surging beneath the prosperity could not be seen in the general's mansion.
In the main hall of the Shen residence, everyone stood awe-inspiring. The Shen Xin couple standing in the middle couldn't hide their anxiety and worry, and Shen Qiu was even more annoyed.
They searched all night and could not find Shen Miao's whereabouts. Shen Xin and his wife were not fools. Knowing the current situation, probably they were not kidnapped by kidnappers. Who would have taken Shen family guards a few steps away and forcibly kidnapped Shen Miao. Wonderful, ordinary kidnappers wouldn't take such a big risk, I'm afraid that someone will seek revenge.
Shen Xin and his wife did not know about the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion, but Shen Qiu knew it well. If Prince Yu's Mansion was destroyed, Shen Miao would not be able to get rid of dry cleaning. You can imagine what the results were in their hands.
Shen Xin even dispatched the army of the Shen family, and secretly informed the city guards to guard the city gate, and the Ding capital went from house to house and could not find it. As time passed, Shen Xin and several people were already going crazy.
Chen Rouqiu said softly, "Brother and sister-in-law, there is no way to do this right now, or... let's report it to the official, if it is reported to the official, it will always be better to have Jing Zhaoyin come forward, it is not a solution for us to search like this. "
"That's right," Shen Wan also said, "Big Brother, the longer it drags on now, the worse it will be for Xiao Wu. The Shen family army has been searching outside, and others will be suspicious when they see it."
Shen Yue stood behind Chen Rouqiu and lowered her head so that no one could see the corners of her lips curled up. Deserved! The matter of Shen Miao getting lost was probably the most joyous thing she heard today, she didn’t think about anything and just hoped that Shen Miao would be smeared and sent back just like Shen Qing, then from then on, the Shen family She is the only one of her first daughters. At that time, even if Shen Xin and his wife were in control of the military, what about the elder brother Shen Qiu? Shen Miao's reputation was completely ruined and she would not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life!
“No,” Luo Xueyan raised her eyebrows and glared at Chen Rouqiu, “If she reports to the official, Jiaojiao’s reputation will be ruined!” Shen Miao was lost today, she wanted to hide from others, but how many rooms did the Shen family have? The people were all human beings, paper could not contain the fire after all, what Shen Miao did not see was stabbed out in the end.
However, Shen Xin and Shen Qiu searched all night to no avail, so they had to order their subordinates to continue searching for people, and then go back to the manor to make plans.
"Sister-in-law," Chen Rouqiu said with a sincere expression, "Is Jiaojiao's reputation more important or her life? If my daughter's family loses her life because of her reputation, she will regret coming to her sister-in-law in the future."
"Chen Rouqiu, who are you cursing!" Luo Xueyan shouted angrily upon hearing this. She was impatient, she said that she was nothing, but she could not tolerate others to say that Shen Miao was not good, and immediately turned her face with Chen Rou Qiu.
"What are you arguing about!" Old Shen Furen, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth, glaring at Luo Xueyan, "Why are you mad at others for losing the fifth sister yourself! What is wrong with the second family? Time? After a long time, the fifth sister's life is gone, and what to do with the reputation!"
On the surface, these words seemed to be for Shen Miao's sake, but Luo Xue Yan just felt uncomfortable and wanted to refute it subconsciously.
"Yes, auntie," Shen Yuan also said, "Even if you don't report to the official, the Shen family guards are looking for someone in such a big battle outside, I'm afraid that someone will guess the truth tomorrow, then what will the report be? the difference?"
Shen Yuan originally regarded Shen Miao as a thorn in his side and could not wait to get rid of it, but now that he has not done anything, Shen Miao himself has been caught, how can he not add fuel to the fire
Shen Gui was even happier, but he was used to being someone who didn't know how to make heads. He just said with regret on his face: "Hey, Xiao Wu, a good-natured child, how could such a thing happen to you. Brother, what kind of enemies do you have? ?" What Shen Gui hated the most was Shen Xin. Shen Xin's meritorious deeds were outstanding, and the imperial court pressed him in everything, if something happened to Shen Miao because of Shen Xin, I was afraid that Shen Xin would feel guilty for the rest of his life, and Shen Gui would stab Shen Xin with a knife.
Wan Yiniang pulled Shen Dongling to stand behind Shen Gui, she was the aunt, and she had no role to speak here. He listened to other people's words without saying a word, but secretly thanked that Shen Dongling was pulled tight, and Shen Dongling was not abducted. Shen Dongling lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Okay, everyone, everyone needs to be known by others. Now the reporter may be able to make the fifth sister suffer a little less. Let's report earlier." Old Shen Furen said, but a light flashed in her eyes. What she hated the most was that the son born by the old general's original spouse was crushing the son she gave birth to, anyway Shen Miao did not live up to her expectations, which made her feel much more at ease. Who knows when Shen Miao will compare Shen Qing and Shen Yue, and now Shen Qiu is swaying in the mansion day by day, making her heart panic, this time it is rare to see Shen Miao unlucky, Old Shen Furen is almost hilarious. She wished that all Ming Qi people who reported to the official newspaper knew that Shen Miao was abducted by kidnappers, it is best to lose her innocence, the big house of the Shen family could not lift her head, this is what makes people happy!
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan hadn't spoken yet, but Shen Qiu clenched his fists, he was young and vigorous, but it did not mean that he did not know what to say, these people were all thinking about Shen Miao on the surface, but their eyes were gloating and falling for misfortune. The light, no wonder, no wonder Shen Miao has changed so much in one year, she has a deep scheming and does not look like a child when she is mature, but she was forced out by the Shen family. There has never been a moment when she clearly realized what kind of environment Shen Miao lived in.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin looked at each other, their eyes almost fierce. If there is still some misunderstanding about the fire in the ancestral hall, after all, they have not been able to see the cause of the incident, but this scene is clearly presented in front of them, Luo Xueyan is angry, while Shen Xin is extremely shocked and disappointed .
He treated them with sincerity, respect and help, but when his daughter had an accident, what he saw was secret joy. Shen Xin suddenly felt how ironic the past pictures of happy, harmonious and friendly love were so ironic.
Shen Yue said worriedly: "What will those people do to Fifth Younger Sister? Fifth Younger Sister is a good-looking girl, and I heard that a good-looking girl will sell a kidnapper very far... If it weren't for kidnappers, I'm afraid that such a big setback would be abolished. I won't make Fifth Sister feel better." As he spoke, he shed two tears, as if he was extremely sad.
There was a hint of irony in Shen Dongling's eyes, who was standing quietly, but she still didn't speak.
"Brother, are you going to report to the official or not?" Shen Wan asked.
The atmosphere was at a stalemate, and suddenly I heard the panting voice of the young servant outside: "Madam, master, the fifth miss is back!"
The servant ran into the lobby, without taking a breath, and said, "The Fifth Young Lady was sent back by the people from the Princess Mansion!"
Everyone was startled by what the servant said about Shen Miao's return to the mansion, and the Shen Xin couple was surprised when they heard the word "Princess Mansion" and did not return to their senses for a while. However, Shen Wan's heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked, "Which princess palace?"
The little servant took a breath and said excitedly, "It's Her Royal Highness Princess Rongxin, who sent a lot of people to escort Fifth Young Lady back to the mansion, and the guards are all standing at the gate of the mansion!"
Princess Rongxin
Chen Rouqiu paused and bit her lip all of a sudden.
Princess Rongxin doesn't ask about court affairs. Maybe it's fine for men, but it's different for women, especially the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Nowadays, all the female relatives in the palace want to sell Princess Rongxin's face, but Princess Rongxin herself is extremely difficult to get close to. She is serious and old-fashioned. Send Shen Miao back in person? Looking at this battle, is it still not low
The jealousy in Chen Rouqiu's heart was about to go crazy.
Without saying a word, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan ran out the door and walked towards the gate of the mansion. The rest of the people also followed after seeing this. I saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the General's Mansion. When I got closer, I could see clearly that they were all guards with swords in armor. So many people were really shocking. And there were also a group of people watching the excitement around the door, probably all of them didn't know what trick the Shen residence was playing.
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were stunned for a moment, so many guards were beyond their expectations, they saw a woman who looked like a female official walking to the carriage and helped Shen Miao down.
Luo Xue Yan hurried up to meet her and said worriedly, “Jiaojiao!” She looked at Shen Miao up and down, seeing that Shen Miao’s expression was normal, she was relieved.
The female official said with a smile, "Today is when Her Royal Highness the Princess was playing in Wanli Lake, she happened to meet the lost fifth Miss Shen, the princess' carriage accidentally knocked down the fifth Miss Shen, so she took the fifth Miss Shen back to the Princess Mansion to rest. Unexpectedly, General Shen and Madam Shen were anxious, and the princess asked the maid to apologize."
After a few words, he explained frankly why Shen Miao came together with Princess Rong Xin, although there were still some oddities, but Princess Rong Xin had already spoken, who would dare to question it. Having hired so many bodyguards today and attracted so many people to watch, I am afraid that even if some people want to spread some unfavorable rumors, no one will believe it, this is a real confirmation of Shen Miao's innocence.
After the crowd, Old Madam Shen's face was ashen with anger, she was waiting for Shen Miao to be unlucky today, but Princess Rong Xin appeared in the middle, and Old Madam Shen hated even Princess Rong Xin who was nosy.
"Your Royal Highness is polite, it should be Shen Mou thanking Her Royal Highness for saving the little girl." Shen Xin replied.
The maid hurriedly avoided and said with a smile, "I don't dare to accept General Shen's gift. The maid will leave first." After that, he urged the guards to leave, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He walked up to Shen Miao and said, "The princess loves Fifth Young Lady Shen very much, and the reception was rushed today, she said before she left that if Fifth Shen is free in the future, please go to the Princess Mansion to sit more, Her Royal Highness will definitely entertain them well. ." After he finished speaking, he left with the carriage guards.
Princess Rong Xin loved Shen Miao very much? Also let Shen Miao go to the princess’ residence when she has time
The Shen family stood at the gate of the mansion, dumbfounded by the last word that the female official said. Shen Yue almost broke the veil in her hand. She naturally knew Princess Rong Xin and how difficult it was for her to get close. Now Shen Miao doesn't know what kind of magic tricks she used, even Princess Rong Xin looked at her with admiration, and after all, she had a relationship with the royal family, would she be able to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Ding in the future
Shen Yue was really in a hurry this time.
Shen Dongling's eyes moved, and she heard Wan Yiniang's envious voice sounding: "The fifth miss is really lucky, this is the princess."
Shen Yuan snorted coldly, never looked at the door of the mansion again, turned around and walked away. Shen Miao smiled slightly at the Shen family: "Today everyone is worried."
When she said this lightly, she immediately reminded Chen Xin and his wife of the faces of the people in the Shen family just now, and their faces were a little ugly. Seeing that Shen Miao had nothing to do, everyone in the Shen family was disappointed, and seeing Shen Miao would only be out of breath. After Old Shen Furen reprimanded Shen Miao, they all found a reason to leave.
Shen Miao followed Shen Qiu and the others to the West Courtyard and saw Shen Qiu and the others' unattractive faces, she understood in her heart.
Before, she had deliberately dragged the people from the Princess Mansion to tell the Shen family his whereabouts in advance. Adversity shows the truth, and similarly, adversity can also show falsehood. It was impossible for Shen Xin to change her temper towards the Shen family overnight, just like she gave Fu Xiu Yi hope in her previous life until the last moment. It is impossible to take back the feelings that people have imposed on them overnight, and it will take some time for Shen Xin to completely change his mind on the Shen family.
It was just right to take this opportunity to let Shen Xin see clearly what a pack of jackals the Shen family was. When they were still in the mansion, facing Shen Miao in distress, the Shen family could fall into trouble like this, but when Shen Xin was not in Dingjing, Shen Xin was not a fool and could naturally guess what Shen Miao suffered.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the West Courtyard, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan carefully asked about some things tonight and confirmed that she was all right. They then told Shen Miao to rest early. The two left and called Shen Qiu before leaving. What to discuss.
After the three of them left, Shen Miao rolled up her trouser legs when no one was there, and the wound on the exposed calf was bandaged with pure white silk cloth, which seemed to have the warmth of someone's palm.
In a night full of surprises, he seemed to know Xie Jing Xing better, but the more he knew his opponent, the more dangerous he felt. In the future... it's better to have less dealings.
…
In the east courtyard of the Shen residence, Shen Yuan sat in the room with a gloomy expression on his face.
After Ren Wanyun went mad, he seldom visited him, and there was a slight estrangement from Shen Gui. He was not a person who valued love and righteousness. He could even kill his own sister, so everything was naturally for the benefit. for heavy.
Tonight originally thought that Shen Miao could not escape, who would know that not only did she come back intact, but she even went to the Princess Mansion. This made Shen Yuan aware of a hint of danger. The opponent's strength was not enough to be feared. What was terrifying was that this opponent was constantly getting stronger.
From being a bullied young lady to now no one dares to underestimate her, she has deep thoughts and ruthless means, an old-fashioned person like Princess Rong Xin can finally be subdued by Shen Miao, one can't help but guess that if Shen Miao has intentions in the future , Is it possible to find a more powerful person as a background? If you win more people, will he be the one to deal with next
Treating a little girl as an opponent was shameful for someone as arrogant and arrogant as Shen Yuan. However, he also had to admit that it was this little girl who just got married that made his second room become what it is today. Shen Yuan would never leave her future troubles, Shen Miao did harm to the second room like this, obviously it would not be good, and one day the spear will be directed at him.
It was just that Shen Miao was not difficult to deal with, what was difficult was that she had Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan behind her. In the end, I have to take care of it, but... Shen Yuan looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly smiled.
Although the Shen family has strong military power, if there is no successor... it will only be a pile of mud. One wondered if Shen Xin and his wife would go mad with pain just like Ren Wan Yun after breaking up the brother and sister Shen Miao and Shen Qiu.
