Chapter 575 Right Hand (4)
Shen Xin frowned: "Jiaojiao, tell me honestly, is this matter related to Princess Ming'an?"
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat.
Shen Xin was no fool. They had just returned to Dingjing when those people deliberately abducted Shen Miao for personal vendetta. And if the Shen family had offended anyone since returning to Dingjing, it would probably be that seemingly arrogant and domineering Princess Qin. If she were a Qin person, such a daring act would not be out of the question.
Shen Miao said, "Father, what are you thinking? This is Mingqi's territory. Even if Princess Ming'an wanted to deal with me, the Crown Prince of Qin is no fool. Why would he let her cause trouble at this critical moment?" Seeing that Chen Xin and Luo Xueyan still didn't believe her, Shen Miao simply raised her arms and said in a soft voice, "That day they threw me out of the carriage. My hands hurt and I'm hungry. Mother, I want to eat."
When Luo Xueyan heard this, she immediately stopped caring about anything else and felt extremely distressed. She ordered the kitchen to prepare some snacks while asking the maid to help Shen Miao go back to the yard to rest.
Luo Xueyan, perhaps feeling particularly distressed for Shen Miao, personally went to the kitchen to prepare soup. Shen Xin frowned and dragged Shen Qiu off to do something unknown. Luo Tan and Shen Miao returned to the room together. Seeing Shen Miao sitting down on the couch, Luo Tan said, "Little cousin, you were lying just now, weren't you? It was actually that Lord Ming An who was behind this, right?"
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat, wondering when Luo Tan had become so smart, so she asked, "Why do you say that?"
Luo Tan stroked his arm, pretending to be somewhat overwhelmed, and said, "The way you acted like a spoiled child just now really gave me goosebumps. You were clearly just being coquettish, and it was obvious that you were just trying to please your uncle and aunt. They only let you go because they love you."
Shen Miao laughed, and looked at Luo Tan again, and said: "I heard that you were seriously injured, why are you getting out of bed now? Why don't you rest more?"
Luo Tan waved her hand: "That doctor Gao from the palace is a master doctor who can bring the dead back to life. I am lucky. Speaking of which," she looked at Shen Miao with a piercing gaze: "I just asked His Royal Highness Prince Rui for help this afternoon, asking him to rescue you. You came back in the evening. His Royal Highness Prince Rui is truly powerful. This speed is beyond my expectation. I thought I would have to wait a few days. So, that Aunt Lu Xi is actually fake, right?" Luo Tan sighed: "This Prince Rui of Daliang is very thoughtful."
Shen Miao: “….”
Xie Jingxing had rescued Shen Miao long before Luo Tan went to Prince Rui's mansion. He was probably already at the Princess's mansion when Luo Tan arrived. Poor Luo Tan, she really thought Xie Jingxing was that capable. Xie Jingxing wasn't a god, so how could he save someone in a split second? Shen Miao secretly criticized him, but didn't correct Luo Tan. A thought struck her, and she added, "But why haven't I seen Cousin Ling?" She asked, "Has Cousin Ling gone out?"
Luo Tan's originally cheerful expression instantly dimmed. Shen Miao was puzzled when she saw this and asked, "Why do you look like that?"
"Cousin Ling is in trouble," Luo Tan said in a somewhat obscure voice. "Gao Yang said he'll never be able to use his right hand again... You should go and take a look."

At the Marquis of Lin'an's Mansion, Xie Changwu was also extremely anxious.
After returning from the banquet with Xie Ding, Xie Changchao disappeared. Not only was there no trace of Xie Changchao in the secret room, but even Shen Miao was nowhere to be found. After a careful look, there were no signs of a fight in the entire secret room, which made Xie Changwu even more confused.
Although Shen Miao had been unable to be sent out due to Shen Xin, now the captives had indeed disappeared. Princess Ming An sent someone to ask when Shen Miao could be sent out, and Xie Changwu could only perfunctorily respond on the surface, but privately he was extremely anxious.
