When Su Miao gets busy, she doesn't have the mind to think about anything else.
He could see her figure from time to time, but the woman did not notice him.
Su Miao headed towards her room when it was almost dinnertime.
Throughout the journey, Su Miao kept flipping through the booklet in her hand.
Based on the current situation, she should be able to return to Beijing soon.
She felt a little reluctant to part with it...
Su Miao raised her face, stopped walking, and looked involuntarily towards a certain spot.
Her home... used to be in that direction.
Unfortunately, things have changed. So many years have passed, and the place has long since become a desolate forest.
A bitter smile appeared on Su Miao's lips as she gripped the booklet in her hand, unable to help but recall those past events.
Just as she was lost in thought, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind.
Su Miao was startled, and the other person hugged her even tighter.
"I've been eyeing you for a long time!"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Su Miao struggled frantically, crying, "Help! Help!"
"Let me go if you don't want to die!"
"Don't move! Doctor Wang is so handsome, I've been thinking about him day and night! As long as you're willing to be with me, I guarantee you'll live a comfortable life!"
No matter how much Su Miao struggled, the other person showed no intention of letting her go, and the arm around her dragged her into the house.
"Are you looking for death?"
Su Miao hurled the booklet in her hand at the person behind her.
"Hehehe, that's bold! I don't like girls, I only like guys like you!"
The more it hurts, the more aroused the other person becomes.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao became even more enraged, kicked backward, then turned around and smashed the booklet down hard.
The kick sent the man sprawling to the ground, clutching his most sensitive area.
Seeing Su Miao trying to run away, he endured the pain, reached out and grabbed Su Miao's robe.
Seeing that she couldn't shake him off, Su Miao was about to turn around and kick him a couple of times when she heard the thugs howling.
As soon as Xie Qin appeared, a group of people followed behind him.
Are you alright?
Xie Qin only paid attention to Su Miao. He took off his cloak and covered Su Miao with it, his face full of worry.
"No...it's nothing!"
Su Miao was slightly out of breath, her face flushed.
Xie Qin glanced back and ordered in a deep voice, "Take the man to General Shen for processing!"
"yes!"
"I'll take you back!" Xie Qin turned to look at Su Miao and said gently.
Su Miao nodded.
Tao'er was out for half a day, and she never expected that such a thing would happen.
"That's outrageous! I've heard of that man. He often steals things, and he's fearless because he has a brother-in-law in the government office!"
"I never expected him to be so bold as to lay a hand on you, Miss!" Tao'er said unhappily.
"Don't be afraid, neither Ziji nor I will let him go! Have some soup to warm yourself up first."
Xie Qin placed the items in front of Su Miao.
But Su Miao had no appetite.
"I'm fine. Tao'er is here to keep me company. Please go ahead and do what you need to do, Your Highness."
"Your matter is..."
Xie Qin realized his mistake after saying only half a sentence and swallowed his words back.
"You are Doctor Wang, and such a thing cannot be let off lightly!" Xie Qin quickly changed his tune.
"They must not be let off lightly!" Tao'er echoed.
"Yes! So drink the soup and get some rest. I'm going to take care of things!" Xie Qin pointed to the door. Although he really wanted to stay, he knew that forcing Su Miao to stay would only make her uncomfortable.
She was just startled and needs time to calm down...
After learning about this, Shen Changji showed no mercy.
The thug who touched Su Miao's hands was immediately chopped off and fed to the dogs.
They even swept up the office where his brother-in-law worked, sending evidence of his corruption to the capital overnight.
It was almost dawn when Shen Changji finally caught his breath.
Xie Qin couldn't help but praise Shen Changji's speed.
But Shen Changji simply said, "She is also a member of our Duke's mansion. We cannot stand idly by when someone in the mansion is in trouble."
Xie Qin merely listened to these words and didn't take them to heart.
After all, the person who can make Shen Changji act so quickly is not simple.
Shen Changji handled the matter openly, while Xie Qin chose to make the villain suffer in secret.
...
Three days passed in a flash, and Liu Jiaojiao also received a letter from Shen Changji.
The letter contained less than she had imagined.
All I wrote was: All is well, don't worry about me.
Eight simple words, yet they reveal indifference.
Liu Jiaojiao vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
At first glance, it may seem unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, the handwriting appears to be that of a young woman…
It lacks the powerful strokes of Shen Changji's work.
Liu Jiaojiao's expression instantly changed, and her hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
She had sensed the people around Shen Changji before, but she was never sure.
Because every time she saw Shen Changji, she felt that this man did not look like a woman!
What kind of woman could Shen Changji possibly ask to reply to a letter?
What is this if not a provocation against her!
"You bitch!"
Unable to control her displeasure, Liu Jiaojiao tore the letter in her hand to shreds.
Cui'er quickly said, "Miss, why did you tear up the letter!"
"How dare someone bully me, Liu Jiaojiao! This is outrageous!"
"Go and investigate right now! I want to see who's so shameless as to hook up with Shen Lang before I even stepped inside!" Liu Jiaojiao said angrily.
"Miss, please don't overthink it! General Shen is perfectly fine in Zhangshui City, and he's all alone with him!"
Cui'er truly felt that her young mistress was beyond saving.
With the plague raging there, how could General Shen possibly have any other maids serving him?
Upon hearing Zhang Shuicheng's name, Liu Jiaojiao could no longer suppress the turmoil in her heart.
It's Zhangshui City again!
Back then, the first time she had eight lives on her hands was in Zhangshui City!
Now Zhangshui City is also suffering from a plague!
Ha! Why didn't they all disappear because of this plague?
"Go and investigate for me!" Liu Jiaojiao roared, her eyes red.
Upon hearing this, Cui'er quickly withdrew.
...
Meanwhile, Su Miao has been staying quietly in her room these past two days.
"Miss, Liu Jiaojiao has probably received the letter."
"Good thing she got it. She'll probably go crazy, right?" Su Miao stopped writing and sneered.
Would she make a scene with Shen Changji over something like this?
Given Liu Jiaojiao's personality, she would never do that!
She only pretends to be a good person in front of Shen Changji and the Duke's mansion, and always tries to maintain her proper image!
What's a little bit of madness?
It's nothing compared to even half the pain she experienced back then!
“She might lose her composure,” Tao’er said.
Thinking of those bloody and gruesome events from back then, Su Miao's eyes surged with hatred as she coldly said, "Keep a close eye on her!"
Who are we keeping a close eye on?
A long, cold, and deep voice came from behind.
