Venomous Empress Reborn

643 Return (6)

She scratched her head in frustration and closed the box. However, she accidentally saw a jade token lying quietly beside the box.

The token of the Golden Jade Bank…

Shen Miao remembered that she returned the token to Xie Jingxing, but somehow, Xie Jingxing still left it behind, obviously intentionally. Shen Miao had never seen anyone giving out so much money to others. She felt sorry for the Daliang Dynasty for having such a prodigal prince.

Putting away the jade token, Shen Miao shook her head. She thought that when she met Xie Jingxing another day, she would return this to him…

In Huangfu Hao’s mansion, late at night, a woman was sitting in front of the mirror to dress up.

She was quite beautiful, especially so because of the scholarly aura she exuded. At this moment, she was wearing a snow-white inner dress. However, through the mirror, one could see her dark expression.

This person was none other than Shen Yue, who had been missing for many days.

Shen Yue had never thought that one day, she would actually build a relationship with the crown prince of the State of Qin. She originally planned to leave home and go to Prince Ding’s mansion. She thought that Fu Xiuyi was such a gentle person and she was the daughter of the third branch of the Shen family, so on account of her father, Fu Xiuyi would not sit back and do nothing. She was born beautiful, had a friendly personality, and was talented in poetry and painting. Even a rock would be tempted by her. At that time, as long as she poured her heart out to Prince Ding, Prince Ding would definitely take pity on her.

However, she had never left home alone like this since she was born, so how could she navigate her way to Prince Ding’s mansion? Because she was afraid that the servants of the Shen family would be searching for her, she had no choice but to hide. There were often such women in the capital. They either escaped from the marriage or had done something wrong. Women who were alone were the easiest to be targeted. Shen Yue was also targeted.

The people who targeted her were a group of local hooligans. Before she could find Prince Ding’s mansion, she was cornered in a remote alley. Those local hooligans snatched her belongings and wanted to humiliate her. In a hurry, Shen Yue shouted that she was the niece of the mighty general.

Shen Yue knew very well that her father’s name was far less famous than Shen Wan’s, especially now that Shen Xin had returned to the capital and was highly valued by Emperor Wen Hui.

In the end, someone happened to pass by. When the person heard her shout, he helped her out. Later, Shen Yue found out that this person was actually from Crown Prince Qin’s mansion.

Then, Shen Yue was brought to see Huangfu Hao.

Shen Yue had only seen Huangfu Hao once at the tribute banquet. He was of noble status, so she did not have a chance to talk to him. This time, Huangfu Hao helped her out, so Shen Yue thanked him profusely. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Hao seemed to be very interested in her. To be precise, he was very interested in Shen Miao and asked her a lot of questions about Shen Miao.

Shen Yue felt that Huangfu Hao probably liked Shen Miao, so she was even more jealous. No matter what, Huangfu Hao was the crown prince of the State of Qin. One day, he would be the emperor of the State of Qin. If Shen Miao and Huangfu Hao got together, she would become the crown princess and be the empress one day with endless wealth to enjoy.

Therefore, Shen Yue said a lot of bad things about Shen Miao. Slowly, she revealed that Shen Miao was a scheming and untalented woman. As expected, after Shen Yue finished speaking, she saw that Huangfu Hao frowned with a trace of disgust on his face, which made Shen Yue satisfied.

Huangfu Hao planned to send Shen Yue back. Shen Yue heard that Shen Wan wanted to divorce Chen Ruoqiu and Chen Ruoqiu returned home in a fit of anger. She was furious and planned to go back to seek justice for her mother. However, just as she was about to leave, she thought that if she went back now, she would definitely be asked to marry Wang Bi. Now, Shen Wan and Old Madam Shen were still angry with her. If she went back, what awaited her was definitely punishment.

Shen Yue could not think of a good idea, but she did not want to sit back and see Chen Ruoqiu suffer either. Once Chen Ruoqiu was divorced, even her place in the family would be affected. She would probably have no place in the Shen family in the future. Shen Yue already had a lot of grudge against Shen Wan and Old Madam Shen, and this time, she was filled with resentment.

In the end, she thought of a way.

Huangfu Hao was the crown prince of the State of Qin and had monstrous power. If Huangfu Hao could step in, nothing would be a problem.

As for her, she just had to please Huangfu Hao.

She had to stay here to prevent the Shen family from finding her and controlling her.
