NOVPUBXu Shiyi let out a sigh of relief and then said to Xiao Fu, “Today is such an important day; it’s best if you don’t wander around too much. Stay with your Miss.”
Xiao Fu glanced at Xu Shiyi, a bit puzzled, but nodded and turned back toward the house.
When Xiao Fu brought the tray over, she was still getting ready and didn’t turn around. “Miss, here’s what you asked for.”
A soft “hmm” came from the other side, without turning around, as if in low spirits.
Xiao Fu understood this reaction because she knew Shen Roujia didn’t want to marry Xu Zening. In this situation, Shen Roujia didn’t want to deal with anyone.
Xiao Fu didn’t say much, knowing when to step out quietly.
As she was leaving, Xiao Fu saw Shen Hexuan, who had left earlier, returning.
“Prime Minister Shen.”
Xiao Fu greeted him politely, “Why have you come back, Prime Minister Shen?”
Shen Hexuan replied anxiously, “I lost my jade pendant. Did you see it on the way? It’s a precious jade pendant carved with a dragon and phoenix motif.”
Xiao Fu, sensing the importance of the item, became more concerned. “Really? Have you searched along the way?”
Shen Hexuan frowned, “It seems I’ve only missed the courtyard.”
Xiao Fu glanced toward the house. “Let me arrange for someone to search the courtyard. Don’t worry.”
Shen Hexuan looked at the house and then said, “Is Jiaojiao getting ready to leave?”
Xiao Fu nodded, “The ceremony is about to begin. Why don’t you wait in the front?”
A strange look flashed in Shen Hexuan’s eyes, and then he said, “I’m a bit thirsty after all that walking. Could you get me a bowl of water?”
Xiao Fu nodded and turned to fetch the water. As she left, Shen Hexuan quietly summoned a woman who bore a slight resemblance to Shen Roujia.
“Go in now, quickly.” 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Meanwhile, Shen Roujia had already changed out of her wedding dress and darkened her face to look almost like coal.
“Miss, I’m sorry for the trouble.”
The woman who resembled Shen Roujia quickly changed into the wedding dress without a word. “Miss, safe travels.”
With that, Shen Roujia put on the most ordinary clothes. “Goodbye.”
