947 Consort Mei (4)
“Since he’s Prince Rui’s savior, I’ll go and see him first.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “Is he in the main hall now?”
“That’s right.” Uncle Tang said, “I’m about to go over too. Madam, let’s go together.”
Shen Miao nodded, and Luo Tan quickly followed.
Along the way, Uncle Tang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, “Speaking of which, those two benefactors seem to have just arrived at Long Ye and are not familiar with this place. They said that they’re here to look for their relatives.”
!!
“Two benefactors?” Shen Miao asked, “Why are there two?”
“That’s a pair of siblings.” Uncle Tang smiled and said, “They’re about the same age as Madam and are very outstanding. Madam Ji is very enthusiastic and wanted to introduce some young talents and young ladies to that pair of siblings. They are very friendly. After staying here for a few days, they’ve gotten along quite well with the servants.”
The servants in Prince Rui’s mansion were mostly from the Black Feather Army. Some of them were not from the Black Feather Army, but they were all firm-minded.
It was not easy to get along well with this group of servants. Shen Miao did not know if she was overthinking, but she felt that the two benefactors were not simple.
Luo Tan was curious. “In that case, this pair of siblings are extremely good people.”
“That’s probably the case.” Uncle Tang smiled and said, “No matter what, the fact that they saved Master will make them an honored guest of Prince Rui’s mansion for the rest of their lives.”
As they spoke, they had already walked to the entrance of the main hall. As soon as they entered, they saw the Ji family. Marquis Ji was talking to Madam Ji. Seeing Shen Miao behind Uncle Tang, Madam Ji stood up and quickly walked up, saying, “Jiaojiao, you’re finally back!”
There were also some madams in the hall, but they were strangers that Shen Miao had never seen before. Shen Miao looked at Madam Ji in confusion. Madam Ji said in a low voice, “They are here to check in on Jingxing… It’s not appropriate to ask them to leave, so I let them sit here.”
Shen Miao understood that Xie Jingxing’s status in Long Ye was very delicate. His life was related to many people in the imperial court. It was not easy for those court officials to show up, but they could get their wives to come and see how badly Xie Jingxing was injured, Shen Miao guessed that these madams must be instructed to come and see if Xie Jingxing was dead.
Madam Ji said, “Where have you been these days? Butler Tang said that you went to look for a doctor, but we couldn’t find you no matter what. It’s good that you are finally back.” After saying that, she reproached, “I know you’re worried about your husband, so you went to look for a doctor, but no matter what, you should stay by your husband’s side. When he woke up this morning, he was disappointed that you were not around. Now, your identity is not that of an official’s daughter, but Princess Consort Rui. Think about the consequences. Many eyes are on you.”
Although her words were not pleasant to the ear, Shen Miao knew that Madam Ji said it for her own good.
