Chapter 448 Don't be angry
There was clearly a formation set up outside the secret passage.
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao.
Shen Jinyao shook her head; she didn't know how to break the formation.
"Welcome snow, Leyao..."
Shen Jinyao shouted, and a sound came from the secret passage.
Sure enough, everyone was hiding in the secret passage.
When Madam Shen saw Shen Jinyao and her injuries, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Jin'er, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at Xiang Hongxuan, who was equally disheveled, she wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
The rest of the Shen family surrounded Shen Jinyao, showering her with concern and care, while Xiang Hongxuan quietly stood aside.
Doctor Gao glanced at Xiang Hongxuan and gave Shen Zhixin a push.
"Go and see him."
General Xiang's expression was not much better than Shen Jinyao's.
They could all see the injury on Shen Jinyao's arm.
Shen Zhixin also noticed Xiang Hongxuan's expression.
Although I was somewhat afraid of him, I thought that General Xiang might have suffered some internal injury, so it wasn't too bad.
"General Xiang, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiang Hongxuan glanced at it and realized it was Zhixin.
He wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Shen Jinyao's seemingly unintentional gaze, he opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Mm."
Shen Zhixin was stunned, not expecting General Xiang to admit that he was not feeling well.
Doesn't this person know to say they're not feeling well?
There are at least two or three people here who know medicine.
The commotion they made attracted the attention of others.
After all, Xiang Hongxuan was on the battlefield, so if he was feeling unwell, there must be something wrong, right?
But judging from his appearance, apart from his pale face and bloodshot eyes, he didn't seem to have any external injuries.
While taking Xiang's pulse, Shen Zhixin looked at General Xiang.
"General Xiang needs to rest, otherwise there will be serious problems. If it weren't for your good health, you probably would have collapsed long ago after such exertion..."
"General!"
Before Shen Zhixin could finish speaking, Xiang Hongxuan suddenly fainted.
Before he fainted, he seemed to see Shen Jinyao running towards him anxiously.
Shen Jinyao and others stood by the bed.
According to Shen Zhixin, Xiang Hongxuan had not eaten or drunk anything for many days, and coupled with not sleeping or resting, his health had deteriorated, but he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Shen Jinyao felt extremely guilty, as she had only focused on killing him and hadn't noticed his condition.
Shen Jinyao recounted the situation at the Xiang residence.
Shen Zhixin's expression was somewhat strange.
Even Shen Leyao kept shaking her head.
Song Yingxue then voiced everyone's thoughts: "We never expected General Xiang to be so devoted."
Madam Shen noticed her daughter's discomfort and sent everyone out.
"Jin'er, I see that General Xiang treats you very well now, you..."
Now that Xiang Hongxuan has fainted, they cannot return to the mansion immediately, and the Shen mansion also needs time to be cleaned up.
The corpses on the estate have already been removed.
The soldiers who had chased after them had not yet returned, but the Xiang family army was already guarding the outside of the manor.
So everyone decided to stay at the estate for another two days.
The Crown Prince and the Marquis have already sent word.
Shen Jinyao said truthfully, "Mother, I haven't thought it through yet."
She certainly wouldn't tell Shen's mother about the space or the awkwardness between the two of them, but it seems that Shen's family is satisfied with Xiang Hongxuan.
Madam Shen knew that Shen Jinyao was a strong-willed person, so she didn't try to persuade her.
Looking at Shen Jinyao earnestly, she said, "Jin'er, your mother hopes you are doing well. Even I know you are capable of doing well, but wouldn't it be better if you had a companion?"
Shen Jinyao nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Mother, I will consider it carefully."
She couldn't deny that she had fallen for Xiang Hongxuan, not because he was moved this time, but because she had known for a long time that she treated Xiang Hongxuan differently.
She just needs some time to calm down so she can figure out how to face the rest of her life.
Madam Shen smiled and said, "I'll go out and have someone tidy up the estate. Yingxue said that your eldest brother should be the one to come and rescue us in the end, so I need to send someone to wait for him."
Madam Shen seemed to have thought of something, and turned around with a smile, saying, "By the way, Jin'er, we owe a lot to Miss Song this time. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't know what to do."
Shen Jinyao nodded.
She turned to look at Xiang Hongxuan, who was lying on the bed after being fed medicine, and her thoughts were complicated.
Finally, she tucked the blanket around him, sighed, and went out.
Shen Jinyao found Song Yingxue.
"Yingxue, what exactly is going on?"
Logically, the presence of many corpses outside Zhuangzi's house suggests that no one could undo the acupuncture technique.
She checked and found that there were many formations on the estate.
She couldn't understand it, but she could tell that some of it was fake.
Song Yingxue's expression was also not good. Although her magic was not high, ordinary people could not break the formation.
She remained vigilant at all times and made other preparations.
Upon hearing a commotion outside, they quickly led everyone to the secret passage.
Just as the formation was about to be broken, the one who broke it was actually the woman that the emperor had given to the Xiang family.
The woman was originally left in the woodshed of the Xiang family mansion.
If the Xiang family suffers misfortune, this woman will not care about her life.
Unexpectedly, the woman was sent over by the Emperor's men.
She was actually able to break Song Yingxue's formation.
Worried that the woman's magic was more powerful than hers, Song Yingxue set up more arrays in the secret passage and made some concealments in other parts of the manor.
She could only hope to buy them more time so that someone could come to their rescue.
She knew they were saved when she seemed to hear Shen Zhizheng's voice.
"Later, Lord Shen went to chase after those thieves. I heard no fighting sounds outside, so I didn't dare let everyone come out."
"I was relieved when I heard your voice later."
Shen Jinyao grasped Song Yingxue's hands, which were trembling slightly.
"Yingxue, thank you, I'm so grateful to you."
Song Yingxue's eyes reddened involuntarily; heaven knows how terrified she was at that moment.
She wasn't afraid of anything happening to herself, but she was worried about something unexpected happening to the Shen family.
If something really happens, she won't be able to face Shen Jinyao, who trusts her, and she certainly won't be able to face Shen Zhizheng.
Shen Jinyao stepped forward and hugged Song Yingxue.
"I'm sorry for putting so much pressure on you. Things will get better in the future."
Her words seemed to open the floodgates of Song Yingxue's emotions, and she burst into tears.
"What happened?"
A voice as clear as jade rang out.
Song Yingxue stiffened, and she hurriedly got up.
Shen Jinyao: "Big brother, you're back?"
Shen Zhizheng nodded, but his eyes remained fixed on Song Yingxue's tearful face.
This was the first time he had seen Song Yingxue shed tears.
I don't know why, but I feel really sad.
It felt as if a thorn was constantly pricking his heart.
Shen Jinyao chuckled upon seeing this, "Big brother, please help me comfort Yingxue, I made her cry."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhizheng glared at Shen Jinyao.
Shen Jinyao touched her nose; this was the first time her older brother had looked at her so sternly.
It seems there's something going on between the two.
"I'm leaving Yingxue to you. I'm going to check on Leyao."
Shen Zhizheng looked down at Song Yingxue, "Jin'er is just being immature, please don't be angry..."
Phew.
Song Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
