NOVPUBJust as Shen Roujia finished asking, Xiao Fu hesitated before replying, “It was Rong Shuyao. She attempted to assassinate His Highness, following Prince Chun’s orders.”
Xiao Fu’s words were both expected and unexpected by Shen Roujia.
Shen Roujia nodded slowly. “Your arrival truly surprised me. I thought I’d never see you again.”
Xiao Fu nodded in agreement. “Miss, please don’t take any more risks in the future. We’ve all been very worried. Also, the Second Miss has arranged a marriage. The gentleman is of good character and appearance. You should be more at ease now, right?”
Shen Roujia smiled gently, her gaze softening. “With Second Sister’s personality, it’s only natural that her husband would be fond of her.”
Shen Roujia smiled again, but Xiao Fu paused, then slowly looked at Shen Roujia. “And what about you, Miss? Have you ever thought about your own future?” 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Shen Roujia looked up, a bit puzzled as she gazed at Xiao Fu. “Why ask that all of a sudden?”
Xiao Fu shook her head. “Everyone can see that His Highness has deep feelings for you. He’s even sacrificed a lot for your sake. Although there might have been misunderstandings before, but that…”
Shen Roujia raised her hand, cutting Xiao Fu off. “Wait a minute, have all of you been bribed by Xu Zening?”
Shen Roujia had never been one to fall head over heels in love. She admitted she could be somewhat emotional at times, but she wasn’t foolish enough to be completely oblivious.
Thinking about it now, Shen Roujia hesitated even more.
She smiled slightly. “No matter how good he is, that’s just him being good. I don’t have any reason to be responsible for his goodness, right? My first responsibility is to myself.”
As she thought this over, Shen Roujia looked at Xiao Fu, her gaze unusually calm, as if she was seeing a very simple matter.
Shen Roujia smiled again. “Xiao Fu, you should be on my side. Don’t ever forget where you stand.”
Xiao Fu had always thought from the perspective of someone from the past, so Shen Roujia often gave ambiguous answers to many things.
But in this situation, Shen Roujia wondered if she had been too hesitant.
