Chapter 958 Questioning (3)
Because Wanyu and Fu Ming were between her, she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
That morning, when Shen Miao woke up, she looked extremely unhappy. Jingzhe and Guyu both noticed something was wrong with her and asked her several times, but Shen Miao only gave perfunctory answers, her heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Last night, she had a dream all night long. She dreamed that she was in the Kunning Palace in Dingjing. Wanyu and Fu Ming were eating fruit and chatting in front of her. As they were talking, blood began to flow from the corners of their mouths at the same time. She panicked and looked for the imperial physician. When she looked up, she saw Madam Mei and Fu Xiuyi coming towards her. Fu Xiuyi had someone tie her up and abandoned Wanyu and Fu Ming, whose lives were unknown, in the palace with her. Then he set a fire to burn the Kunning Palace clean.
The raging fire licked Kunning Palace, and soon swept Wanyu and Fu Ming in. She screamed heartbreakingly, but saw Madam Mei smiling faintly and said to her, "You lose."
Shen Miao suddenly woke from her dream. The summer sun was already in the morning, almost reaching the scorching heat of midday, nearly blinding her eyes. Shen Miao broke out in a cold sweat, her entire body drenched in sweat. However, the despairing expressions of Wanyu and Fu Ming filled her mind, making her feel restless.
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Li Mei walking out.
Li Mei saw Shen Miao and immediately stopped and bowed to her.
Shen Miao darkened her eyes. Whenever she encountered the woman before her, she would do her utmost to restrain her murderous intent. Especially the dream she had last night, which almost made her want to reach out and strangle her to death. The fingertips hidden in her sleeves pierced her palm, causing a slight pain, which finally brought her back to consciousness.
Shen Miao glanced at Li Mei and said, "Miss Li, where are you going?" Her tone was stiff and carried a certain strange meaning that could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried.
Li Mei smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has awakened. He summoned my sister and me today. My second brother has already gone there, and I am planning to rush over as well." Then she looked at Shen Miao with some shame, "We have been bothering you for many days. After meeting His Royal Highness today, it is probably time for us to leave. The Princess has taken great care of us, and we haven't even said a word of thanks."
Shen Miao sneered inwardly. She had never asked anyone to "look after" these two people before. She thought it must be Madam Ji's idea. In addition, everyone in the mansion was polite to them because they saved Xie Jingxing's life.
“Why are you talking about leaving?” Shen Miao said indifferently, “We haven’t properly ‘repaid’ you yet.”
Li Mei shook her head. "We came to Longye to look for our relatives. Now that His Royal Highness is well, we should leave."
Shen Miao twitched the corners of her mouth, not even bothering to smile. Whether they were looking for relatives or not, Shen Miao really couldn't believe Li Mei. Who knew what they were doing in Longye?
Li Mei looked at Shen Miao and suddenly spoke softly, "Princess, have I offended you in some way? You don't seem to like me."
After all, these words were spoken. Shen Miao's attitude towards Li Mei was almost obvious. Shen Miao had not seen the benefactor who saved Xie Jingxing since the day she returned. Shen Miao acted appropriately and gently, which certainly wasn't due to forgetfulness, but rather intentional. As for why this happened, it was puzzling.
"I really don't like you." Shen Miao raised her chin. She could be hypocritical with her enemies, but she couldn't do that to Madam Mei. She wanted to express her hatred directly. If it weren't for Prince Rui's Mansion, if it weren't for the inability to explain to Xie Jingxing... She chuckled: "Do you want to know why?"
