Venomous Empress Reborn

556 He’s Here (3)
The Xie family? The Xie family!

In the corner, Shen Miao’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, unable to hide the shock in her heart.

She did not expect the people who kidnapped her to be from the Xie family. Without a doubt, these two people were Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao!

Shen Miao was in disbelief. She did not expect that the ones who would form an alliance with Princess Ming An would be Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao. Although Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao had always been at odds with Xie Jingxing, in her previous life, they were just like their master, Fu Xiuyi, who wouldn’t make a move until the very end. Why would they be so reckless and willing to take such a risk in this life?

The Marquis of Lin’an was a big family in Ming Qi. Even if they were sons of a concubine, they were still better than the legitimate sons of many officials. Once Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were caught, the entire Marquis of Lin’an would be implicated. Were these two people crazy?

Xie Changwu spat and said, “Is this place safe?”

“Of course it’s safe.” Xie Changchao said proudly, “Who would have thought that the young lady of the Shen family would be hidden in our mansion? Besides, in this mansion, only the two of us know about this secret room. Even if Shen Xin is really permitted by His Majesty to search our mansion, I guarantee that he will go back empty-handed.”

“That’s good.” Xie Changwu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “We can’t afford to make any mistakes. Once the lockdown is lifted, quickly send her away.”

Xie Changchao nodded and took out water and food from the basket. He walked to Shen Miao’s side and placed two bowls in front of her.

“Are we going to wake her up and feed her the food?” Xie Changwu asked.

“No need.” Xie Changchao said, “It’s not like she doesn’t have a mouth. Don’t you think Her Highness will be very happy to hear that she eats like a dog? At that time, Her Highness will be happy and put in a good word for us in front of His Highness.”

Xie Changwu said, “That makes sense. Third Brother, you are indeed more insightful. In that case, let’s go out first to avoid suspicion.” After saying that, the two of them left.

When there was no more sound outside, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.

There were two bowls on the ground in front of her. One was water, and the other was… Fortunately, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao did not give her anything more disgusting to eat.

Shen Miao sighed in her heart.

It was not like she had never eaten it before. In her previous life, she had eaten leftovers and even rotten food. So what? In order to survive, she could put down her dignity for the time being. As long as she could survive to take revenge, she could put up with any humiliation.

However, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao’s words made her frown slowly.

This was actually the secret room of the Marquis of Lin’an’s mansion. If that was the case, it would probably be very difficult for Shen Xin to find this place. Firstly, without Emperor Wen Hui’s permission, it was impossible to search an official’s mansion unless there was concrete evidence. However, the Xie brothers and Shen Miao had nothing to do with each other. Why would anyone suspect them? Secondly, if Shen Xin was really permitted to search, as the Xie brothers said, this secret room must be well-hidden. How could Shen Xin find something that even Xie Ding did not know?

The Xie brothers took an unconventional method. The most dangerous place was the safest place. This way, things became trickier.

Shen Miao looked at the water in front of her.

Could Xie Jingxing find her?

…

On the other side, in the new Shen mansion, the imperial physician finally arrived.

The person who came was dressed in white and held a folding fan in his hand. If not for the medical box on his back, he looked like a gentleman who came to admire the flowers instead of saving people.
