Chapter 574 Right Hand (3)
Luo Tan rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, and suddenly screamed, "Little cousin!"
Shen Miao was escorted back by Princess Rongxin's personal maid, Lu Xi. When she reached the door, she heard Luo Tan's cry. She had been deeply worried after hearing Xie Jingxing say Luo Tan was seriously injured, but now, hearing her powerful cry, she felt relieved.
Luo Tan’s shout immediately alarmed Shen Xin and his group inside. They all came over in a hurry and were a little bit unbelievable when they saw Shen Miao.
Luo Xueyan was stunned for two seconds, then quickly stepped forward, walked to Shen Miao and hugged her, tears streaming down her face: "Jiao Jiao!"
As if realizing it, Shen Qiu also ran over and shouted excitedly: "Sister, you are back!"
Chen Xin was about to step forward. Shen Miao glanced around. It was late in the evening, and because of Chen Xin's constant manhunt, the people had been in a state of panic these days. Most of the people stayed indoors at night, and no one had seen anyone coming to the Shen residence at this time. Shen Miao said, "Let's go back to the mansion first. Also, don't make this public yet."
Although Shen Xin was a little confused, he also exchanged glances with Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu quickly responded and went out to instruct the servants outside. The group entered the mansion first.
When they arrived in the hall, Luo Tan asked, "Cousin, what is going on, and who is this person..." She looked at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi saluted everyone. After all, she was a lady-in-waiting to Princess Rongxin, so her every move followed etiquette, making her seem unlike any ordinary person. She said, "I am a lady-in-waiting to Her Royal Highness. The other day, Her Royal Highness's guards rescued Miss Shen from the clutches of a criminal. Her Royal Highness was worried that Miss Shen wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly, so she sent me to see her off. Now that she's here, it's time for me to return."
Two years ago, during the Lantern Festival, Shen Miao was saved once by Princess Rong Xin, and two years later, she was saved again. To call it a coincidence would be a stretch. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were a little puzzled, and before they could say anything else, Shen Miao stood up and smiled at Lu Xi, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Xi, for what happened a few days ago. I hope you will thank Her Highness for her help on my behalf. Your Highness's life-saving grace will be remembered by Shen Miao, and I will definitely come to thank you in the future."
Lu Xi quickly dodged Shen Miao's greeting and said with a smile, "I don't deserve it. Since you and Her Royal Highness are old acquaintances, there's no need to be so formal. I'll go back first. Miss Chen, take good care of yourself. Her Royal Highness will meet with the Jingzhao Yin to explain tomorrow."
Shen Miao thanked him again, and after sending Lu Xi away, everyone finally couldn't help but ask Shen Qiu, "Sister, what on earth is going on?"
From what Shen Miao and Lu Xi had just said, everyone could tell that Shen Miao had clearly already made up her mind. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan knew Shen Miao's personality best. Shen Miao was a girl with big ideas, and she probably had other plans already.
Shen Miao smiled and said, "It's nothing. The people who kidnapped me that day actually implicated me in another incident and kidnapped the wrong person. Later, when they were planning to send me away, they happened to meet someone from the princess's mansion. The guards of the princess's mansion had seen me before and felt something was wrong, so they rescued me. Later, I explained the matter to Princess Rongxin, and Her Highness wanted to help me clear it up." She didn't want to tell Shen Xin the whole story for the time being because it involved Princess Ming'an. The power of Qin and Mingqi was now complicated, and if Shen Xin was not careful, it would be difficult to escape. She had worked hard to gradually distance the Shen family from those chaotic vortexes. How could she repeat the mistakes of her previous life?
Most importantly, this statement was something she and Xie Jingxing had agreed on. Although she didn't know what Xie Jingxing would do in the end, Shen Miao believed that with Xie Jingxing's methods, Princess Ming'an and the Xie brothers would definitely suffer a great loss. Since this was already the case, it would be bad for Shen Xin to intervene.
