Chapter 952 Meeting (3)

Shen Miao smiled: "That's good. The Prince's Mansion owes you such a 'favor'. If you don't stay, how can we 'repay' it?"

She was sometimes suspicious, sometimes talking about repaying. This ambiguous attitude made people a little confused. Li Mei looked at her thoughtfully. Shen Miao noticed her gaze and smiled again, "I have something else to do, so I won't be here with you all." She then said to Madam Ji, "Aunt, please find me and take the ladies with you." She was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and stopped in front of Li Mei, smiling, "This dress looks very good on you. It seems that it was made for you. Since it fits you well, there is no need to take it off and return it to me. Just think of it as a gift from me."

Shen Miao said she was sending clothes, but it didn't seem like she was sending clothes. It was as if she was bestowing something. Even though Uncle Tang was known for his smooth dealings, he was still somewhat baffled by Shen Miao's inexplicable behavior today. Only after Shen Miao left did he look towards Luo Tan.

Luo Tan stuck out his tongue and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either." He turned around and followed him.

Madam Ji looked at Li Mei and Li Ke with a sense of shame: "The princess has been worried about the prince's illness these days. Perhaps she is a little sensitive. I hope you two can bear with her."

"I can naturally understand your sincere heart." Li Mei smiled.

"Then let's go inside and talk." Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

Ji Yushu also looked at Li Ke, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Li, please."

Shen Miao returned to the house. Jingzhe Guyu saw her return and greeted her with surprise, saying, "Madam, you are finally back! We servants have been anxious these days, fearing that something bad may have happened to you."

After seeing Shen Miao in such a state of disarray, the two of them froze in unison. Jingzhe asked, "Madam...what's going on? Have you been wronged?"

Shen Miao's clothes were dirty and disheveled, and her expression was unusually ugly. Looking closely, she seemed to be a little distraught, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Guyu was smart again and said, "Madam, I will go get you some water first. You can wash yourself first and then have a bowl of hot porridge. His Highness is fine now. After you have rested well, it will not be too late to think about things slowly." She also pulled Jingzhe and went to get some hot water for Chen Miao.

After the hot water was ready, Shen Miao sent the two away and sat in the wooden barrel. The water was just the right temperature, but now Shen Miao felt it was as cold as ice.

How could Madam Mei end up in Daliang? And how could she, by some strange coincidence, become Xie Jingxing's savior? She had endured so much hardship not to kill Madam Mei the moment she first saw her, and because this was Prince Rui's residence, she had no way of explaining her actions.

But no matter how hard she tried to hold it in, her somewhat strange appearance today still caught everyone's attention. It was unknown what others would think of her. She was afraid that these people were all suspicious in their hearts, wondering if she was jealous or something. But Shen Miao wanted to find out more: why did Madam Mei come to Daliang?

In her previous life, Shen Miao went to Qin as a hostage, and when she returned, Madam Mei had already entered the palace. It was said that Madam Mei was the daughter of a minister whom Fu Xiuyi met during his eastern expedition. However, since Fu Xiuyi had not yet left for the expedition, he naturally could not have met Madam Mei, and yet, Madam Mei was currently in Daliang.

Could it be that Madam Mei had also arrived in Daliang in her previous life? According to this timeline, Madam Mei had already met Xie Jingxing before she even met Fu Xiuyi?

Then why did Madam Mei become Fu Xiuyi's favorite concubine in the end, and why did she go to Mingqi... Could it be that this was also Xie Jingxing's intention? Shen Miao couldn't help but shudder.
