574 Right Hand (3)
Luo Tan rubbed her eyes. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she suddenly shouted, “Cousin!”
Shen Miao was sent back by Princess Rong Xin’s personal maid, Lu Xi. When Shen Miao reached the door, she heard Luo Tan shout. Previously, she heard from Xie Jingxing that Luo Tan was extremely seriously injured. Shen Miao was still very worried. Now that she heard her shout, she was relieved.
Luo Tan’s shout alarmed Shen Xin and the others inside. Everyone rushed over and looked at Shen Miao in disbelief.
Luo Xueyan was stunned for two seconds. She quickly walked up to Shen Miao and hugged her, tears flowing down her face. “Jiaojiao!”
Only then did Shen Qiu come back to his senses. He rushed over and shouted excitedly, “Sister, you’re finally back!”
Shen Miao glanced around and said, “Let’s go back inside first. Also, don’t make my return public.”
When they arrived at the hall, Luo Tan asked, “Cousin, what exactly is going on? This person is…” She looked at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi bowed to everyone. After all, she was the personal maid beside Princess Rong Xin. Her etiquette was outstanding, and she did not look like an ordinary person. She said, “I’m Princess Rong Xin’s personal maid. The day before yesterday, Her Highness’s guard saved Miss Shen from evil people. Her Highness was afraid that Miss Shen would not be able to explain herself, so she asked me to send Miss Shen back home. Now that she’s here, I should go back.”
Two years ago, Shen Miao was saved by Princess Rong Xin at the Lantern Festival. Two years later, she was saved by Princess Rong Xin again. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were a little puzzled. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Shen Miao stand up and smile at Lu Xi. “Thank you, Aunt Xi. I hope you can tell Her Highness for me that I will remember her kindness and will definitely visit her to thank her in the future.”
Lu Xi quickly turned around and said with a smile, “Miss, since you and Her Highness are old friends, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. I’ll go back first. Miss Shen, rest well. Tomorrow, Her Highness will send people to explain this matter to the capital magistrate.”
After sending Lu Xi off, Shen Qiu finally couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, what exactly is going on?”
Shen Miao smiled and said, “It’s nothing. The people who kidnapped me that day actually mistook me for someone else and kidnapped the wrong person. Later, when they were about to release me, Princess Rong Xin’s guard happened to pass by. The guard saw me once. He felt that I was in danger, so he saved me. Later, I told Princess Rong Xin what happened, and Her Highness planned to help me out.” She did not want to tell Shen Xin everything for the time being because it involved Princess Ming An. The relationship between the State of Qin and Ming Qi was now complicated. If Shen Xin was not careful, it would be easy for him to get dragged into the mess. Shen Miao had worked hard to pull the Shen family away from the mess. How could she allow herself to repeat the mistake of her previous life?
Most importantly, she had discussed this excuse with Xie Jingxing. Although she did not know what Xie Jingxing was up to, Shen Miao thought that with Xie Jingxing’s methods, Princess Ming An and the Xie brothers would definitely suffer a huge blow. Since that was the case, it was not necessary for Shen Xin to get involved.
