575 Right Hand (4)


    Shen Xin frowned. “Jiaojiao, tell me the truth. Does this have anything to do with Princess Ming An?”


    Shen Miao’s heart raced.


    Shen Xin was not a fool. From the time the Shen family returned to the capital until now, the only person they had offended was probably that arrogant princess of the State of Qin.


    Shen Miao said, “Father, what are you thinking? This is Ming Qi’s territory. Even if Princess Ming An wants to deal with me, the crown prince of the State of Qin is not a fool. How can he let her cause trouble at this juncture?” Seeing that Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan still did not believe her, Shen Miao raised her arm and said softly, “That day, they threw me out of the carriage. My hand hurt from the fall and I’m very hungry. Mother, I want to eat.”


    When Luo Xueyan heard that, she couldn’t care less about anything else. As she instructed the kitchen to prepare food, she asked the maid to help Shen Miao back to her room to rest.


    Luo Xueyan went to the kitchen to make soup. Shen Xin frowned and pulled Shen Qiu to do something. Luo Tan and Shen Miao returned to the room together. After Shen Miao sat down on the couch, Luo Tan said, “Cousin, you were lying just now, right? Actually, it was Princess Ming An who did it, right?”


    Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. She asked, “Why do you say that?”


    Luo Tan rubbed her arm and pretended to have goosebumps all over her body. “The way you acted like a spoiled child just now really gave me goosebumps. You were obviously acting just to get them to stop pestering you with questions.”


    Shen Miao chuckled and sized up Luo Tan again. “I heard that you were seriously injured. Why are you bouncing around? Why don’t you take some rest?”


    Luo Tan did a twirl. “Doctor Gao from the pce is very skilled. He can revive the dead. I’m lucky.” She looked at Shen Miao with bright eyes. “I just asked Prince Rui for help this afternoon, and you came back tonight. Prince Rui is really resourceful. This speed is unexpected. I thought I would have to wait a few days. So in fact, that personal maid Lu Xi is just an actress, right?” Luo Tan sighed and said, “This Prince Rui is really considerate.”


    Shen Miao was speechless.”


    Xie Jingxing had saved Shen Miao long before Luo Tan went to Prince Rui’s mansion. When Luo Tan went, Shen Miao was probably already in the princess’s mansion. Poor Luo Tan, she really thought that Xie Jingxing was so capable. Shen Miao thought to herself, but she did not correct Luo Tan. She thought of something and said, “But why didn’t I see Cousin Ling?” She asked, “Has Cousin Ling gone out?”


    Luo Tan’s originally happy face instantly darkened. Seeing this, Shen Miao was a little puzzled and asked, “Why do you look so sad?”


    “Cousin Ling is not doing well.” Luo Tan’s voice was a little obscure. “Gao Yang said that he will never be able to use his right hand again in this life… Go and take a look.”


    …


    In the Marquis’s mansion, Xie Changwu was also on tenterhooks.


    After returning from the banquet with Xie Ding, Xie Changwu couldn’t find Xie Changchao anywhere. Not only was there no sign of Xie Changchao in the secret room, but there was also no sign of Shen Miao. What puzzled him even more was that there was no sign of a fight happening in the secret room.


    Now, with the captive missing, when Princess Ming An sent someone over to ask, Xie Changwu could only find an excuse to brush him off. However, under the calm surface, he was burning with anxiety.
