Chapter 193 Deliberately, Shen Xiang’s Purpose
Wei Chenghe, Yuan Xiu and others tacitly concealed the fact that Shen Xiangwan was missing from Zhao Yuping to prevent her from worrying too much, and they had to distract themselves from comforting her. Although most of the guards had gone into the mountains to look for her, they did not let go of the village and the county town, and continued to search back and forth over and over again, not wanting to miss even the slightest possibility.
"Guards?"
In the space, Shen Xiangwan, who was returning, raised his eyebrows slightly. Are all the guards running into the mountains? It seems that this matter is a bit big!
"Ma'am, are you there?"
"lady!"
The guards quickly shuttled between the woods, and while calling out, they also looked around, not missing any corner where they could hide, and it was obvious that they were searching very seriously.
"Should I go out, or wait a little longer?"
Caressing her chin and watching the movement outside, Shen Xiangwan's eyebrows were slightly evil. With her intelligence, how could she not know how anxious Yuan Xiu and the others would be after she disappeared without a reason? Moreover, she was sure that they would not tell Zhao Yuping and the others, which meant that the only ones who would be anxious were Yuan Xiu, Yuan Yue, Yuan Ying and the guards.
She did it on purpose, and her purpose was simple, to retaliate against them for deliberately hiding something from her.
This move was indeed childish, but she was the kind of person who didn't want to suffer any loss, even if the things they hid from her were most likely instructed by Wei Chengyi and were for her own good.
"I am here."
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Xiangwan carried a small backpack filled with various herbs, and carried the howling wolf cub out of the space. After this incident, she believed that both Wei Chengyi and Yuan Xiu and the others would refresh their perception of her, and would think twice before trying to hide anything from her in the future.
"lady?!"
The guards were all born masters with great martial arts skills. Even those who had already run far away heard her voice and flew towards her in unison. Although they were a little confused as to why she appeared in the rear area that had already been searched, they still breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was unharmed. The Second Master kept them at home to protect the ladies' safety. If something happened to her, how would they have the face to see the Second Master?
"I'm fine, you guys..."
"lady!"
Before Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, another exclamation sounded. Before she could react, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying fell in front of her one after another: "Madam, why didn't you tell us that you were going into the mountains? We thought... You really scared us to death."
"That's right, Madam. If anything happens to you, how are we going to explain it to the Second Master? Please, tell us where you are going next time, okay?"
This time they were really scared. After all, the Second Master was seriously injured by the Dragon Shadow Guards a few days ago. Who knows if there are other Dragon Shadow Guards lurking? You know, the leader of this team is a Grandmaster. If Madam really lets them kidnap her, they will not be able to apologize even if they die ten thousand times. Fortunately, fortunately, she just went into the mountains.
"Aren't you guys hiding something from me?"
Looking at them deeply, Shen Xiangwan did not hide the fact that she deliberately did not tell them before going into the mountains. If she did not let them know the interests involved, who knows how many things they would have to hide from her in the future. Even though they were most likely following orders and doing it for her good, she said it was not necessary. Nothing is good or bad. Only by knowing can one respond in time. Not letting her know anything would most likely harm her.
"lady···"
Hearing this, the two of them widened their eyes in disbelief. Did the Madam do this on purpose? No, did the Madam know that they were hiding something about the Second Master from her? When did she know about it? How come they didn't notice it at all?
"Go back."
Although he saw through their thoughts at a glance, Shen Xiangwan had no intention of explaining it to them. He just turned around with the wolf cub in his arms. The guards looked at each other and followed him without any prior agreement. "Aying, did we do something wrong?"
Looking at their departing backs, Yuan Yue asked in a hoarse voice.
"Ah."
Nodding vigorously, Yuanying tiptoed to catch up. They had already belonged to Madam when Second Master assigned them to Madam, but they were still loyal to Second Master, not Madam, otherwise they would not have helped Second Master to hide her. Madam saw through this but did not point it out. She was telling them clearly with her actions that she did not value their loyalty. At the same time, she had no obligation to cooperate and had to inform or take them with her wherever she went.
Yuan Yue, who was lagging behind, seemed to have figured it out. He clenched his hands hanging at his sides into fists, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Second sister-in-law!"
"lady!"
As soon as they got down the mountain, Wei Chenghe and Yuan Xiu, who had received the news, came to meet them with their men. They looked at her carefully at the same time, and after confirming that she was unharmed, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Second sister-in-law, if you want to go into the mountains to collect herbs in the future, tell me and I will go with you. If you encounter any ferocious beasts, I can help you to block them, right?"
After saying this in a nonchalant manner, Wei Chenghe stepped forward and took off the backpack from her body. He was not stupid. His second sister-in-law would never make everyone worry for no reason. There must have been something that he didn't know about.
"Are you sure you can hold it off?"
Letting her take off the backpack, Shen Xiangwan glanced at him with a smile on her lips. It seemed that he looked down on her, but in fact he was just joking. She could clearly feel that the big boy in their family was really worried about her. Thinking about the situation when they first met and looking at her now, she had to say that the arrogant and grumpy boy back then had really grown up.
"You're underestimating me, aren't you? I'm already an innate warrior."
With a grin, Wei Chenghe started to tease her. He was indeed an innate warrior, but he should be at the bottom of the list, and it was the potion given by his second sister-in-law that helped him break through.
"Really? I'm also an innate warrior, how about we fight each other some other day?"
Shen Xiangwan smiled as she walked and talked. She ignored Yuan Xiu from beginning to end and pretended not to see him deliberately falling behind and whispering with Yuan Ying and Yuan Yue. She was not worried at all that they would tell him that she did it on purpose today. Only by letting them know would they be more restrained in their behavior in the future. Of course, she also knew that they were just accomplices and the real culprit must be Wei Chengyi. She was waiting for him to come back and settle the account with him!
"Isn't that bad? What if I hurt you?"
"just you?"
After a slight pause, Shen Xiang looked him up and down, sighed heavily, and continued walking without saying anything.
"No, sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Why did he feel so deeply despised?
After Wei Chenghe reacted, he quickly chased after him. The guards following behind him couldn't help but laugh. Even a fool could see that they were just trying to be funny.
The only ones who couldn't laugh were probably Yuan Xiu, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying. They really didn't expect that the lady who seemed easy to get along with on weekdays would choose to warn them in this way!
