Chapter 128 He Should Be More Calm
"Madam Shen, remember what you said yesterday. If I find out that you are using Zhiyue, there will be no place for you and Xie Jian in the entire jungle." Princess Ning's expression remained gentle like a housewife, but the threat in her tone was unquestionable.
Chen Heng bowed and said gently, "I always keep my word. If the legitimate daughter comes to see me, how can I refuse to see her? Please, Princess, keep an eye on your daughter."
"How dare you," the old nanny scolded, "How dare you speak to the princess like that?"
Chen Heng was not afraid. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I have no disrespect for the princess. It's just that things don't go as planned. Even if you want to live an ordinary life, it won't be as you wish. You stay away from right and wrong, but right and wrong will find you."
These words made the coldness in Princess Ning's eyes less severe. Although she was a woman from a high-class family, she was not rude or unreasonable. Looking at the woman in front of her, who was only a few years older than Zhiyue, she said, "Remember what you said. You can leave now."
Chen Heng looked up at Princess Ning and saluted, "Thank you, Princess." Then she turned and left.
At this moment, a strong old maid hurried in through the small door and whispered, "Princess, the servants around the young lady have all been interrogated. The young lady did not do anything presumptuous to the son of the Shen family, and she didn't even say a few words."
"Then why is she helping the Shen family so much?" Princess Ning was genuinely puzzled. "By the way, has Madam Feng been found?"
"Still looking. I sent someone to check on Madam Feng's hometown, but they said that Madam Feng didn't go back to her hometown."
Nanny Feng was an elderly woman by her side, the one who had raised Zhiyue since she was a child. Princess Ning had never expected her daughter to even dare to drive Nanny Feng away: "From now on, no matter where the young lady goes, you will be watched closely, and the only people around you can be slaves of the palace."
"yes."
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Chen Heng patted her chest. The Princess of Ning still had some aura. With several old ladies standing beside her, all of them looked at her sharply. People without some experience really couldn't handle it.
"Madam Shen." Qiu, who had been waiting anxiously outside, was relieved to see Madam Shen come out. "Did Princess Ning give you any trouble?"
"No. Let's go back to the stage." She had been out for such a long time, if she didn't go back, Xie Jian would come to find her.
Sure enough, as soon as I reached the stage, I saw Xie Jian and Wu Jin coming down from the stage.
"Look, here I am! Look how anxious you are." Wu Jin saw Chen Heng and said with a smile, "Ajian has been saying that he wants to see you."
Even though it was just a trip to the toilet, without any martial arts training, Chen Heng still found another excuse: "I was bored, so I just took a walk."
"It's time for us to go." Xie Jian said.
"The polo game is only halfway through. We finally made it here, so let's have fun before going home." Wu Jin actually had no interest in polo, he just liked to join in the fun.
Xie Jian's calm and handsome face showed nothing, and he was even more gentle and polite than before. But Chen Heng knew that his heart was probably in turmoil. If Lord Tang was really the eldest brother of the Xie family, she couldn't imagine what Xie Jian was feeling at this moment.
Even such a situation, she didn't dare to tell her eldest sister-in-law. Shen Heng said, "I'm tired too, so let's go home first. Where's Meng Xiaozi?"
"He's on the court. The Wu family should wait until he leaves. Now he is still counting on us to cheer him on." Wu Jin pointed to the person who was swinging the polo stick in the middle of the field.
Chen Heng looked over and saw Meng Xuanlang fighting fiercely with the people in the field.
"Wu Jin, please tell Xuan Lang that Aheng and I are a little tired, so we'll leave for now. We'll meet again later." Xie Jian's calm face did not reveal any of his thoughts.
As the three were talking, they heard several voices of talking and laughing, and then they saw the eldest daughter of Prince Qing's Mansion and the noble-looking Eighth Prince walking towards them.
Seeing this, the three of them stepped aside, lowered their heads slightly, and waited until the group had passed by before raising their heads to watch these distinguished guests leave.
