NOVPUBOutside, Shen Hexuan waited anxiously. Xiao Fu handed him the tea bowl and then instructed the others to search for the jade pendant.
Taking advantage of the moment, Shen Roujia quietly followed behind Shen Hexuan and slipped out.
Shen Hexuan first instructed Shen Roujia to hide in the false bottom of one of their carriages, but after thanking him, Shen Roujia shook her head. “Brother, the rest of the plan cannot go as originally intended.”
“You can’t imagine how terrifying Xu Zening is. He must have been fully prepared before you even arrived. If I follow my own plan, nothing will go wrong.”
After saying this, Shen Roujia still felt uneasy and gently hugged Shen Hexuan, catching him off guard.
“To me, you will always be the brother I admire.”
With that, Shen Roujia resolutely turned and left.
Shen Roujia’s departure was so quiet that even Xiao Fu, the one closest to her, didn’t notice.
The fake bride was then carefully supported out of the house, her appearance and mannerisms almost identical to Shen Roujia’s.
Shen Hexuan watched, feeling a sense of relief, knowing Shen Roujia had completely escaped the City Lord’s Manor.
But despite the relief, Shen Roujia still had no idea where she would go next.
