Chapter 296: Miss, Madam, where did that... beast come from?
Wen Yuan instantly became a notorious villain with no one to protect him. His arms and legs were cut off and fed to dogs.
My aunt sneered, "Karma and reincarnation are inevitable, no matter what life you're in. He's fallen into this state entirely because of his own fault."
"Mianmian, even though Wen Yuan has been eliminated, he still has a daughter, Wen Qiang. They're both birds of a feather. Letting her go would be like leaving an extra hidden danger. Not to mention, she almost let those people from the black shop kill us! To be honest, she's our sworn enemy!"
At this moment, Mei Xi did not forget to add: "That black shop is not only targeting us, the side dishes they serve to people are human flesh."
"It's easy to imagine how many unspeakable deals this black shop has done behind the scenes. Since Wen Qiang is related to that old woman, her hands must be stained with blood."
"What did you say?!" My aunt's eyes widened. When she heard what the side dish was, she suddenly felt her stomach churning and almost vomited.
"Damn bastards, how could they do such a thing! They must all die, don't let them go!"
The aunt spoke angrily, and at this moment, Meixi coughed, looked over and asked in a low voice.
"Miss, Madam, where did that... beast come from?"
This question has been on her mind all the way.
Because the young master was present and the girl was wholeheartedly focused on treating him, Mei Xi suppressed her shock and confusion and did not ask.
But now she couldn't help herself and asked cautiously, "Could it be... related to the girl?"
"Of course, if you're not comfortable telling me, then just pretend I didn't ask. Anyway, as long as they're not trying to hurt us, that's fine."
The eldest aunt glanced at Ruan Mian, smiled, and looked at Xixi with a burning gaze: "Did you know that your daughter raises a spirit beast?"
When her aunt said this, Meixi was stunned on the spot.
She looked at Ruan Mian in disbelief, shocked: "Miss... Is what the eldest lady said true? When did you start raising spirit beasts? Such a big one..."
Ruan Mian laughed, knowing that her aunt was teasing her on purpose, and also knowing that Mei Xi must be shocked.
However, she couldn't explain the matter of the space, so she could only tell her: "It's just some beast-controlling techniques. Meixi, you just need to know that this matter is not suitable for outsiders, and I hope you can help me keep it a secret."
Mei Xi nodded quickly, suppressed her curiosity, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, young lady, I will keep this secret for you."
"But... this is the first time I've heard of this beast taming technique."
Ruan Mian smiled, and her aunt echoed.
"Isn't your girl capable of many things? My eldest niece's abilities are unmatched by ordinary people. All we have to do is stay by her side and wait for the good things to happen!"
Of course, Mei Xi knew her daughter's abilities, but she felt embarrassed to let her just sit around and wait for death.
"The girl is so amazing, I should work harder. If I can give a little to her, I will be satisfied."
A warm feeling welled up in Ruan Mian's heart. Ever since she saved Mei Xi on the road to exile, she had seen how she treated her and her family.
I have long treated her like my own sister.
I feel grateful in my heart.
But she still wanted to say: "Xixi, you and I are equal. You just need to be responsible for yourself and live a stable and happy life."
"In this world, no one owes anyone anything. When I saved you, I was doing it right with my conscience."
She patted Xi's shoulder comfortingly, and seeing her eyes filled with tears, she had to change the subject.
"After we get to the city, I'll have to trouble you and Aunt to take care of my brother. I have something else to do."
Seeing this, her aunt immediately came over and asked her in a low voice, "But has the princess's matter been resolved?"
Ruan Mian just nodded.
Now is the time to deal with the matter of Princess Jiacheng.
She left the princess alone for a few days, aiming to frighten her and make her break down emotionally in the isolated and helpless situation.
The reason why Wen Yuan failed to find the whereabouts of the princess and the valuables after so many days and despite mobilizing so many people was because they had all fallen into Ruan Mian's hands.
At that time, she rescued the unconscious princess from downstream and used space to collect all the property that fell into the river.
The princess was placed in a remote and dark cave outside the city.
Gave her enough food.
When the princess regained consciousness, she learned that it was Ruan Mian who saved her. She was extremely grateful and immediately said that she would not treat her unfairly when she returned to her fiefdom.
But Ruan Mian told her that they could not leave now. Wen Yuan's men were looking for her everywhere, and she needed some time to arrange people to take the princess out.
Tell her not to leave the cave these days and wait for him here peacefully.
At that time, Princess Jiacheng was isolated and helpless, and could only place all her hopes on Ruan Mian.
Now seeing her come back again, hope suddenly ignited his heart. He rushed over and asked repeatedly with a hopeful look on his face.
"Madam Ruan! Have you made all the arrangements? When are we leaving?" Ruan Mian sighed solemnly. Her silent expression made the princess instantly disheartened.
"Indeed, it would be difficult for you to compete with Wen Yuan on your own."
"He's powerful in Runing, and he has so many people backing him. He must be desperate to overturn the entire city to find me. How can you safely transfer me by yourself?"
"If there is really no other way, we can only seek external help."
Ruan Mian just happened to think so.
She took out the writing brush and ink from her bag, looked at the princess and said, "I have brought enough food for the princess's wife. Please entrust the token to me and I will help you seek help."
"It's just... I don't know if Madam can trust me."
Hearing her say this, the princess quickly said, "Of course I believe you! I only believe you now!"
"Madam Ruan, I'll be honest with you. I was indeed wary of you before, but this time you saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen into the river and would have died."
"So, don't worry and go find my father for me. I'll write a letter and give you a token. But the journey will take at least ten days, even if it's quick. I'll do my best to protect myself. If you don't find me here by then, search all of Runing City! I won't leave."
Ruan Mian nodded and also provided some suggestions.
In the letter, the princess told her father about her situation, and described in great detail how Chen Bochong colluded with Wen Yuan to hide Wu Heng's disaster relief silver. Of course, she left out her own selfish motives.
It also describes how she was hunted by Wen Yuan and how much stolen goods were in Wen Yuan's private vault. The whole article is filled with panic for help and the urgency of the situation.
Of course, she did not forget to mention the person who delivered the letter, Madam Ruan, who was her most trusted aide.
Even her life was saved by her. She will wait for her father in Runing to save someone else's life.
After Princess Jiacheng finished writing, she solemnly handed the letter for help to Ruan Mian.
"Madam Ruan, thank you for your hard work on this trip. As long as I can leave this place safely, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."
"And take this too."
After saying that, she took off an exquisite jade stone from her neck and handed it to Ruan Mian.
"This is the jewelry my father made for me when I was born. It is also my token of trust. If my father sees this, he will definitely believe you!"
Ruan Mian took it. If she hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known that she had such a token of love.
