"You really are here."
Fang Ze looked at the Shen family members inside the dark room and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the master did not lose his conscience because of the princess.
The Shen family was completely bewildered, but they recognized him as the constable who had accompanied Shen Pengfei to their home that day!
Therefore, they are on high alert.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm here to help you. I've already contacted the officials in charge of the city government, and they've reported it to the authorities. They will definitely not let that princess act recklessly."
Fang Ze said, panting.
After he finished these things, he rushed back immediately.
The only concern is that the willful and capricious princess might get angry and kill the Shen family, which would ruin everything.
He never expected that he would hear news of the Shen family members disappearing and the princess being injured as soon as he returned.
He thought that it was impossible for the Shen family to be so well hidden in the town that even the princess couldn't find them, unless... someone helped them.
After making inquiries, he concluded that the most likely scenario was that the Shen family was still in the county government office.
This is also why everyone was blind to what was right under their noses; unexpectedly, the county government office became the safest place.
No one knew better than him what kind of place the county government office could possibly be suitable for hiding people.
"It's been reported to higher authorities? How long will that take?" Shen Wanli pressed.
Fang Ze shook his head: "I'm not quite sure. But the princess is very quiet now. She wanted the magistrate to gather all the men in the town to hunt down wild beasts in the mountains."
For the safety of the townspeople, the magistrate staged a scene, feigning injury and falling into a coma. That's why the matter has been delayed for so long.
However, given the princess's temperament, I think she won't give up easily. I believe there must be a reason why the princess is making things so difficult for you. I'd like to ask you what exactly happened.”
Otherwise, everyone in the town would be in danger.
The Shen family never expected that the county magistrate would be injured! Even more unexpected was that the princess would go to such extremes.
"The mountains around Qingyang Town stretch endlessly, connecting with several surrounding towns. No one has ever been to the deep mountains. How many people would have to die if we wanted to hunt down all the wild animals on the mountains?"
Shen Yishan was filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, he once again deeply realized the cruelty of the princess and his own insignificance.
Fang Ze said, "So, this matter originated from you, and you have a responsibility to resolve it."
Although it was an undeserved disaster for the Shen family, the cause of the incident was definitely related to them.
If we want to get rid of this scourge, the Shen family has to come up with a solution.
The Shen family understood what he meant, and Shen Wanli immediately said, "Go to the Chengfu Wanwu Winery and find Manager Gao. Tell him what happened, and he will know what to do."
The Shen family now has no doubt that this is because of An An.
To put it bluntly, they are not yet in a position to offend people at this level.
“Alright! You guys stay hidden here, it’ll be easier for me to sneak over.” Fang Ze said without hesitation.
But the Shen family remembered what they had just discussed, so how could they sit idly by and wait for their doom?
So Shen Erming pulled Fang Ze aside and asked, "We want to leave here..."
“Absolutely not. The safest place right now is the county government office. If you leave, I'm afraid the princess will… Is there anything you want to do? I can do it for you.”
Fang Ze wasn't stupid; seeing how anxious they were, he knew they wanted to do something.
But it would be too dangerous to let the Shen family leave.
"Can……"
"Let me go, take me out, I'm going to find Manager Gao!" Shen Liuliu squeezed out, calling out anxiously in her childish voice.
But in Fang Ze's eyes, this was just a child playing around, and he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Shen Erming pressed his sister back down, then said to Fang Ze, "I want to go to the city government, is that alright?"
“It’s dangerous for anyone from the Shen family to go out.”
"Actually...why don't you let me go?"
Shen Tiantian raised her hand timidly.
Although she is now part of Shen Wanli's family, it's unlikely that anyone will pay much attention to her.
Even when Shen Pengfei went to the prison to make things difficult for people, he didn't think of her.
This shows how low her presence has become, and that's why she's now suited to do this kind of thing.
"I'm worried you won't be able to get into the city government; these days, you need a document to enter," Fang Ze said, somewhat troubled.
Even for him, getting into the inner circle was not an easy thing.
Moreover, he was accompanied by a girl.
Shen Liuli patted Shen Tiantian and said, "Sister, let's go to Second Uncle's house and find Brother-in-law."
If we're talking about who's the smartest and most resourceful person in the family, it's definitely my brother-in-law, Shen Yushu.
Since it's inconvenient for them to leave right now, they'll have to ask their brother-in-law for help.
"Ah, could you let me leave? I'll go to Lotus Village by myself quietly." Shen Tiantian was a little nervous and scared.
But she knew she couldn't back down, so she mustered her courage and spoke up.
Fang Ze gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but you must be careful. Lotus Village is being watched by the group leader's people, so you must be extremely careful when you go in."
He couldn't handle everything on his own, and the Shen family might not trust him completely.
So this is the only way.
"Sweetie, why don't you let your second brother go instead?" Tian Guifen was worried about Shen Sweetie, after all, she was still just a little girl.
Shen Erming also said, "I'll go."
Where can I send my sister on an adventure?
Shen Tiantian shook her head and said, "I'm the least noticeable one, so I'm the most suitable to go. Mom and Dad, you've been so good to me, it's time for me to repay you."
"You child..."
"Alright, enough talk. If you want to leave, come with me now."
Fang Ze looked around nervously, afraid of being discovered.
Shen Tiantian knew that there was no time to delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth and left with Fang Ze immediately.
The door to the dark room closed, and the sunlight inside vanished instantly.
The Shen family felt a heavy weight on their hearts.
"Sigh, I wonder if Sweetie can manage."
"As long as nothing goes wrong, it's fine."
Shen Erming was extremely annoyed.
He wanted to go out, but he also knew that going out would attract too much attention.
Once discovered, not only will he be in trouble, but the county magistrate who risked his life to save them will also be resented by the princess.
It's not scary to take risks yourself, but it's not appropriate to endanger your savior.
"I hope everything goes well."
All Tian Guifen could do was pray.
Wang Xiuhe remained motionless on the bed, enduring the waves of pain in her chest, not daring to utter a sound.
Even when Shen Yishan came over to ask, she could only try her best to appear relaxed and said, "I'm fine, it hurts a little, but it's nothing serious."
But in reality, her chest was swollen and hard as a rock, and it hurt so much that even breathing was painful.
But the thought that her two children hadn't come with her and were being cared for by their mother in the village made her feel relieved.
It doesn't matter if she suffers, as long as the child is alright.
At that moment, she was unaware that her two children were not having an easy time either in Lotus Village...
