Chapter 556 He Comes (3)
Xie family? Xie family!
In the corner, Shen Miao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, unable to hide the shock in her heart.
She didn't expect that the person who kidnapped her was actually a member of the Xie family. That person called another person "Second Brother". There was no doubt that these two people were Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao!
Shen Miao was in disbelief. She never expected that the two people who had formed an alliance with Princess Ming'an were Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao. You have to know that although Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao had always been dissatisfied with Xie Jingxing, from their previous lives, they were also people who were good at forbearance, just like their master Fu Xiuyi. How could they be so arrogant in this life, not hesitating to put themselves in danger and even kidnapping people?
The Lin'an Marquisate is a prominent family in Mingqi. Even if he is a concubine's son, he is still better than many legitimate sons of officials. Once what Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao have done is exposed, the entire Lin'an Marquisate will be destroyed. Are these two people crazy?
Xie Changwu spat and said, "Is this place safe?"
"Of course it's safe." Xie Changchao said proudly, "Who would have thought that the young lady of the Shen family would hide in our mansion? Besides, even in this mansion, the only people who know about this secret room are you and me. Even if Chen Xin really got the emperor's order and had the good fortune to search our mansion, I will make sure he returns empty-handed."
"That's good." Xie Changwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The success or failure of this matter depends on a single thought. We can't make any mistakes. Once the rumors die down outside, we must quickly send the people out."
Xie Changchao nodded, took out some water and rice from the basket, walked to Shen Miao, and placed the two bowls in front of Shen Miao.
"Should we wake her up to eat now? We can't let her starve to death." Xie Changwu asked.
"No need." Xie Changchao said, "Even if she's tied up, she's not speechless. Don't you think that if a rich lady eats like a dog, Her Highness will be very happy to hear it? When the time comes, the princess will be happy and will say a few good words for us in front of His Highness."
Xie Changwu said, "That's good. Third brother is really thoughtful. In that case, let's go out first to avoid arousing suspicion." After the two of them finished talking, they left.
After there was no more sound outside, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.
There were two bowls on the ground in front of her, one containing water and the other containing... Fortunately, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao didn't give her anything more disgusting to eat.
Shen Miao sighed inwardly.
It's not like she hasn't eaten before, even rotten food among the leftovers in the cold palace, so what? In order to survive, people can temporarily put aside their dignity. As long as there is an opportunity one day, they can take revenge.
But Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao's words finally made her frown.
This turned out to be the secret room of the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion. If that was true, then it would be very difficult for Chen Xin to find it. First, without the oral order of Emperor Wenhui, it would be impossible to search the mansion of a bureaucrat unless there was solid evidence. But for no reason, the Xie brothers and Shen Miao had no contact with each other on a daily basis, so how could others think that they were the kidnappers? Second, even if Chen Xin really got the oral order, as the Xie brothers said, this secret room must be very secret. If Xie Ding didn't know about it, how could Chen Xin find it?
The Xie family took a different approach. The most dangerous place was the safest place. This made things more difficult.
Shen Miao looked at the clear water in front of her.
Can Xie Jingxing find it?
…
On the other side, in the Shen residence, the imperial physician finally arrived.
The man who came was dressed in white and holding a folding fan. If it weren't for the medical box on his back, he would have looked like a gentle prince from a royal family. He didn't seem to be here to save people, but rather to appreciate the flowers.
