When Shen Miao went out with Princess Rong Xin, she was shocked by the scene. Princess Rong Xin’s carriage was extremely gorgeous. What was even more shocking was that she had also summoned a group of armored guards. Princess Rong Xin smiled and said, “There are many people on the street today, so I get some guards to protect you just in case something bad happens again.”
Shen Miao had no reason to refuse her kindness. Moreover, she could use this opportunity to use Princess Yu Rong’s power to intimidate some people in the Shen family. She thanked Princess Rong Xin and got into the carriage.
On the streets of the capital, the crowd had not decreased, and the fireworks would be on for the entire night. On the busy streets, such a group of guards and a gorgeous carriage was too eye-catching.
On the city wall at the corner of the street, a young man in a fox fur coat was standing there, accompanied by a middle-aged burly man. The burly man said, “Her Highness actually sent so many guards to escort Miss Shen back to the mansion.”
“Auntie Rong is not easy to please.” The young man said with interest, “This Miss from the Shen family is quite capable.”
The middle-aged man was silent. Suddenly, he heard the young man beside him say, “Did the people you caught tonight speak?”
“Master, they’re all locked up in the tower jail. Three of them have already committed suicide by drinking the poison. The remaining three have bitten their tongues out and refuse to say a word.”
“Then pick one and skin him alive. Don’t let go of an inch of his body. I don’t need to teach you how to do it, do I?”
“Yes.” The burly man hesitated for a moment. “How about those who sneaked into the city…”
“Find and kill them all.”
…
The capital was bustling with people, and under the superficial prosperity, unrest and danger surged.
In the main hall of the Shen family, everyone stood there solemnly. Shen Xin and his wife, who were standing in the middle, could not hide the anxiety on their faces, and Shen Qiu was even more vexed.
After searching for the entire night, they still could not find Shen Miao. Shen Xin and his wife were not fools. They knew that in this situation, Shen Miao was probably kidnapped. Who would take the risk to kidnap Shen Miao while the entire Shen family was just a few meters away? Ordinary kidnappers would not take such a huge risk. Most likely, it was a retaliation.
Shen Xin and his wife did not know about the details regarding Prince Yu’s death, but Shen Qiu knew very well. The destruction of Prince Yu’s mansion probably had something to do with Shen Miao. If the subordinates of Prince Yu wanted to avenge their master, it wasn’t hard to imagine what they would do to her.
Shen Xin even mobilized the Shen army and secretly informed the city guards to close the gate. As time passed, Shen Xin and the others were about to go crazy.
Chen Ruoqiu said gently, “Brother, Sister-in-law, we can’t just wait. Why don’t… we report it to the government? With the government interfering, it will be easier to find Fifth Miss.”
“That’s right.” Shen Wan also said, “Brother, the longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for Fifth Miss. The Shen army has been searching outside. If others see it, they will be suspicious.”
Shen Yue stood behind Chen Ruoqiu and lowered her head to prevent others from seeing the corners of her curling lips. “Shen Miao deserved it,” she thought. The fact that Shen Miao was missing was probably the most pleasing thing she had heard today. She did not think about anything and only hoped that Shen Miao would be sent back after losing her virginity like Shen Qing. From then on, she would get all the limelight in the Shen family. Shen Miao’s reputation would be ruined and she would be unable to raise her head for the rest of her life!
“No.” Luo Xueyan frowned and glared at Chen Ruoqiu. “If we report it to the government, Jiaojiao’s reputation will be ruined!”
