Chapter 579 Pastries (2)
Chang Zai Qing smiled and asked, "I heard a few days ago that Miss Shen Wu was kidnapped. I don't know if she has been found yet."
“There is no whereabouts yet.” Shen Wan shook his head.
Chang Zaiqing sighed, "A good girl has met with such an unexpected change... According to the Third Master, was Miss Shen Wu murdered by General Shen's enemies?"
Shen Wan said: "It's hard to say, after all, the only one who was kidnapped was the Fifth Sister. But it's been so long, I'm afraid that even if we rescued her, it would be..."
Chang Zaiqing's face showed sorrow, but she was secretly delighted. She didn't know why, but she felt an instinctive fear when facing Shen Miao. Perhaps it was the words Shen Miao said to her last time that made her hair stand on end, or perhaps Shen Miao saw through her thoughts too clearly. Regardless, with such a person around, Chang Zaiqing always felt uneasy. Now, hearing Shen Wan say this, she was very happy.
Regarding the matter of Shen Miao, people in the Shen Mansion and Caiyun Garden were also discussing it.
Aunt Wan said, "I used to think it was bad for you, Dongling, to stay at home all day, but now I feel relieved. There are so many kidnappers on the streets, and you are so pretty. If you were kidnapped, I would have to spend the rest of my life crying." As she spoke, she stopped sewing and said, "I wonder if the fifth young lady is dead or alive now?"
Shen Dongling, who was holding the embroidery cushion for Aunt Wan, laughed when she heard this: "Aunt, that's not something a kidnapper can do."
Aunt Wan's eyes widened: "Why?"
"How could a kidnapper kidnap people openly on the street? Even if there were, they wouldn't kidnap the daughter of an official, especially one who looks very powerful. You can't be sure how much trouble they will cause you in the future. Those people were obviously coming for my fifth sister. I think they are probably the enemies of the eldest wife, and it just happened that my fifth sister ran into them." Although Shen Dongling said this, there was not much sadness on her face, as if she was talking about someone else's family.
Aunt Wan sighed, "Fifth Miss's life is over. She was born into such a good family, but she didn't enjoy her life. She wasted her luck."
"That's not necessarily true." Shen Dongling smiled sweetly. "Fifth sister has always had benefactors helping her, and she always manages to turn danger into safety. Who knows if there will be a benefactor who can save her from danger this time?"
"Even with the help of noble people, now that things have become like this, what else can we do?" Aunt Wan disagreed with Shen Dongling's words.
As he was speaking, he saw Shen Dongling's personal maid Xinghua hurried in from outside, as if she had something to say.
"Auntie, Third Miss, I just heard from outside that Fifth Miss was taken back to the Chen Residence by Princess Rongxin's carriage. She is safe and well!"
"Look, Auntie," Shen Dongling smiled, "I was saying that Fifth Sister is very capable and has noble people to help her."
…
After a few days, there was finally news of Shen Miao, who had been abducted by criminals. She was personally sent back by Princess Rongxin's personal maid, and Dingjing City was once again in an uproar.
After Shen Miao was abducted by bandits, they intended to transport her out of the city. However, the Shen family's official troops were conducting strict inspections that day. During the process, Shen Miao escaped, injured her leg, and passed out. She stumbled upon the guards from the princess's residence. The guards escorted Shen Miao back to the residence, where she met Princess Rongxin after waking up. The lack of news in the past few days was simply because Shen Miao hadn't woken up, and the people at the princess's residence didn't know her identity and were afraid to identify her.
In the end, Shen Miao was still a good girl with a clean conscience, and this time she escaped with no danger.
