Liu Ying contacted Du Yunzhi, who then contacted Ye Feiyan, and everyone went to help search for Shen Ning.
There was no movement in the city, but many soldiers chased after him out of the city, which almost certainly confirmed that Shen Ning was not in the city.
Ye Feiyan also led his men out of the city, but they went astray and ended up somewhere else. When he realized something was wrong and came back, he happened to hear that a group of soldiers were returning. He followed them back and was surprised to find that it was Qin Zhuo, and Shen Ning had actually come back with him.
Everyone gathered in the Shen family hall: Ye Feiyan, Du Yunzhi, Liu Ying, Yu Zhu, Mo Xueer, Mo Lin, and the Liang family of three. There were originally several servants and managers, but Liu Ying sent them away.
A group of people sat quietly, waiting for Shen Ning to speak.
Mo Xue'er stared at Shen Ning expectantly, as if afraid that she would disappear again.
Shen Ning drank several sips of tea and ate a few pastries to fill her stomach and calm herself down before briefly recounting the events of the day.
In short: I suffered an unexpected disaster and was extremely unlucky. It's all because I didn't check the almanac before going out today.
Liu Ying and Yu Zhu felt extremely distressed. Their master had suffered so much today. They would have to boil pomelo water to wash her properly and then burn mugwort leaves to fumigate her.
It would be best to go to a temple and pray for ten or eight amulets for protection.
Du Yunzhi was also quite frightened: "It's good that everyone is alright. In the future, we should bring more people with us wherever we go."
Shen Ning actually brought people with her, but the two of them were waiting downstairs. Later, the soldiers separated them, and she was kidnapped and dragged away by the Thousand-Faced Fox.
In this situation, no matter how many people she brings, it won't make a difference.
Of course, there's no need to take it too seriously now.
"Understood." Bringing more people is never a bad thing.
Seeing that she looked tired, Du Yunzhi didn't ask any more questions: "It's good that you're back. You should get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"good."
Best friends understand each other best.
Ye Feiyan stood up as well: "Then I shall take my leave."
A good brother-in-law is also good.
The two left one after the other, while the others remained still for a while.
Liu Ying and Yu Zhu had already prepared water for Shen Ning to bathe, and were just waiting for the others to leave. Mo Lin was standing there to confront the three members of the Liang family, while Mo Xue'er was just there to make up the numbers.
The three members of the Liang family were clearly unaware that they were being ostracized.
Firstly, Steward Liang felt that he was now of great importance and an indispensable veteran of the Shen family; secondly, he was still lying low, afraid that Shen Ning would discover his ambition, so he paid close attention to his words and actions and had no time to think about anything else.
Even if he did think of something, he wouldn't believe that Shen Ning was rejecting him; he would only reject his son, and it would all be Liang Zhuo's fault.
Butler Liang smiled and said, "It's truly a blessing from heaven that Miss is back safe and sound. She's a lucky person who has survived such a calamity. Everything will go smoothly for Miss from now on."
Aunt Liang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, our young lady is kind-hearted, and God is protecting you."
After saying that, Aunt Liang nudged her good-for-nothing son: "Are you mute? Can't you see how surprised the young lady is? Aren't you going to comfort her?"
Liang Zhuo was pushed and took a few steps forward, feeling embarrassed: "Miss, I'm glad you're not hurt. I'll go out with you next time."
Aunt Liang was satisfied: "Yes, yes, you should stay with him, never leaving his side, so that the thief won't have a chance to take advantage."
Then, his eyes darted around and he said, "It's getting late, so we'll head back now. You young people can have a good chat."
Before leaving, he gave Liang Zhuo an encouraging look.
Young people should spend more time together. It's rare that the young lady hasn't kicked her son out, so this is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
A frightened girl is most vulnerable, so a little comfort will surely soothe her heart.
Liang Zhuo instantly understood what his parents meant, and blushed with embarrassment.
A pure-hearted young man blushed in front of you, and behind him were his parents who unconditionally supported his pursuit of you. Aren't you touched?
But between the lines, in every single word and sentence, where isn't there selfishness, calculation, and greed?
As soon as Butler Liang left, Shen Ning lost interest in acting and had Liu Ying help her inside to wash up.
My legs hurt, my whole body aches, and even walking normally is a bit difficult.
They seemed normal just now, but it was all for the sake of saving face.
"Young Miss..."
Liang Zhuo eagerly tried to step forward, but Mo Lin's tall figure blocked his way: "Miss needs to wash up, aren't you going out?"
Liang Zhuo said angrily, "Is she injured? I want to see her, why are you blocking my way?"
Mo Lin: "Miss Liu Ying is taking care of her, she doesn't need you."
Liang Zhuo harbored delusional fantasies and had long regarded Shen Ning as his woman. Why was he concerned about his future wife?
However, this Mo Lin is definitely up to no good, as he has repeatedly obstructed him, which is simply hateful.
"How do you know the young lady doesn't need me? Who do you think you are?"
Seeing Shen Ning go inside, Liang Zhuo immediately turned stern: "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shen Ning didn't even turn her head when she heard this: "Mo Lin, tie him up and send him to the Wei family."
She doesn't want to deal with these unimportant people at all right now.
Mo Lin: "Yes!"
Liang Zhuo instinctively resisted, but Mo Lin acted very quickly, grabbing him and pulling him out without giving him a chance to shout.
----
Inside the bathroom, Shen Ning's clothes were peeled off one by one, revealing countless bruises of all sizes on her jade-like skin, which were extremely glaring.
They must have suffered so much.
Tears welled up in Liu Ying and Yu Zhu's eyes instantly, but they both forced themselves to remain silent.
The young lady was already exhausted; they couldn't let her get any more upset.
All I can do is curse that damned thief in my heart.
Shen Ning was indeed tired. In addition, Liu Ying and the others had prepared three kinds of water for her to dispel bad luck. She became sleepy while soaking in the water and woke up in a daze. She couldn't remember how she got to bed.
Shen Ning fell into a deep sleep. Liu Ying applied medicine to the bruises on Shen Ning's body and gently rubbed them to release the medicinal properties. Yu Zhu wiped Shen Ning's hair again and again until it was completely dry.
After everything was done, they lowered the curtain, but the two of them did not leave; they stayed together in the outer room to keep watch.
While Shen Ning slept soundly, Zhao Shi from the second wife's side stomped her feet in anger, her heart and lungs about to explode: "How can they not die? This is outrageous!"
Zhao was filled with resentment. What had her Ming'er done wrong? All he wanted was for Shen Ning to marry off. What had he done wrong?
Who would have thought that the heartless Shen Ning would turn the tables on them and send the person directly to the authorities.
If you don't agree, fine, but how could you be so ruthless as to take Ming'er's life?
Her son, she only had one son.
She wanted nothing more than to kill Shen Ning to make her son pay for his death, but that slut went out to have fun and got captured by thieves.
She prayed in her heart that the corpses would never return and would disappear completely.
Even if she were defiled and returned half-dead, Shen Ning would not be qualified to be the head of the Shen family.
Who would have thought that she would be rescued by the soldiers and return unharmed.
It's truly a case of God being blind.
