“Father, do you think this could be related to the Meng Family?” Shen Huaiqiu asked when Shen Feng left.
“You mean the Meng Family might be behind this? What could their intention be? Why did they say that something had happened to Fei-Er? They could even describe everything in detail!” Shen Qingtian said with a frown.
“Who could be the one who sent this letter on purpose?” Shen Huaiqiu was baffled.
In an obscure spot, one of the shadow guards from the Shen mansion was eavesdropping on the conversation between father and son. He smirked. His Master had tasked him to deliver a letter, and it had actually caused them to be greatly concerned.
The man’s name was An Feng. He was a spy planted in the Shen Family by the Pavilion of the Assassins. Su Ruoxi had given him a special pill. After consuming this pill, his skills level would automatically decline to his desired standard.
If he met a powerful foe, he was supposed to consume the pill immediately. This would help him recover his skills.
Thus, when he received the secret signal from Mo Ye, he used his break to reset his skills. Then, he came to Shen Qingtian’s study room to deliver the letter. However, he had not expected father and son to be so wary and cautious…
What should he do? His Master hoped the Shen Family would send someone to Heavenly Phoenix City as soon as possible. Who knew how long Shen Feng would take to finish his investigation?
Suddenly, a bright idea struck him. An Feng’s shadow vanished in a flash! When he reappeared outside Shen Qingtian’s study, Shen Huaiqiu had left.
An Feng used Mystique Energy to envelop the note he had written and flung it into the room.
“Pom…” It made a soft sound.
“Who is it?” Shen Qingtian heard the sound and quickly turned around.
There was nothing. His gaze stopped on the edge of the bookshelf and saw something white stuck on it. Shen Qingtian peered around the room warily. His gaze swept the room, but he did not discover anyone. Not even his shadow guards had been alarmed. This person must be potent, or maybe his shadows guards had already died.
Shen Qingtian did not wish to dwell on it. He immediately walked to the bookshelf and took a closer look. It was a note. This person must be extremely skilled to be able to fasten this piece of paper onto a bookshelf.
Shen Qingtian was stunned beyond belief! It was indeed a busy night at his mansion!
It took some effort for Shen Qingtian to pry the note from the bookshelf. He opened it and read the content. His brows were deeply furrowed, and for a moment, he fell silent. When he finally came to a decision, he shouted in the direction of the door, “Someone, come!”
A guard came in and knelt on the ground. “City Lord, what is your command?”
“Bring Young Master here!” said Shen Qingtian.
“Yes.” The guard replied and left.
When the guard left, Shen Qingtian hesitated for a while. Then, he took out a black whistle and blew on it twice.
“Master!” Shen Feng appeared in the study room shortly afterward.
“Yes. Take a look at this!” Shen Qingtian passed the note to Shen Feng.
Puzzled, Shen Feng took the note. After reading it, he remained silent…
It had been just a short while since Shen Huaiqiu left. They waited for him to make his way back to the study room. After reading the note, Shen Huaiqiu looked at his father hesitantly. “Father, I think it might be better if we sent someone to take a look! What if Little Sister is really in trouble?”
“Shen Feng, what do you think?” Shen Qingtian asked. Since he was young, Shen Feng had followed Shen Qingtian around, and he was also his shadow guard now. They had been together for a few hundred years; although their relationship was that of Master and servant, they were also friends.
Shen Feng pondered for a moment. “Master, I think Young Master is right! Let’s send someone to Prince Feng’s mansion in Heavenly Phoenix City to check on Miss!”
After a moment of silence, Shen Qingtian spoke. “Alright. Shen Feng, arrange for two men to go to Heavenly Phoenix City. They are to depart at once tonight. Get them to report back immediately once they see Fei-Er!”
“Yes, Master!” Shen Feng replied and left once again.
An Feng was satisfied and left before Shen Feng. He located an empty spot and swallowed a pill. The man was to continue his masquerade as a shadow guard at the Shen Family. Shen Huaiqiu exchanged a few words with his father before he went back to rest.
Heavenly Phoenix City…
Su Ruoxi and her baby had joined forces to help Shen Fei and the granny handmaiden purge the poison from their bodies. They had also given the two women some elixirs to help them regain their strength. The mother and the child only left Shen Garden at the break of dawn.
After taking the elixirs from Su Ruoxi and Baby, Shen Fei and her granny handmaiden slept the entire day. Granny handmaiden awoke in the evening and felt that her body was much lighter and more relaxed…
When she recalled the events from last night, she looked around immediately, but Su Ruoxi and her daughter were nowhere to be found. There was a food container on the table with a note underneath it. The message asked her to eat some food and not to be worried. Madam had consumed some medication and would not be awake so soon.
The granny handmaiden was relieved after reading the note. However, she lost her appetite when she thought of how Second Madam intended to let Su Ruoxi take Su Ruolin’s place to marry the dimwitted Crown Prince.
Granny handmaiden ate a light meal and sat on the bed, gazing at Shen Fei lying next to her. Although Shen Fei didn’t look any different, her breathing was much smoother now. In the past, Shen Fei used to breathe very heavily every night before she fell asleep.
Shortly after, a soft knock resounded, and Granny handmaiden turned to see Su Ruoxi enter the room with Baby. “Xi-er, you are here!” She exclaimed in joy.
“Yes. Granny Shen, how are you? Do you feel better?” Su Ruoxi asked as she smiled lightly.
“I’m much better!” The granny handmaiden said gladly. She was aware of her own health. As long as Madam and Xi-er were fine, it was worth it even if she had to sacrifice her life.
Su Ruoxi could see the intense gratitude and relief in Granny Shen’s eyes. She knew that Granny Shen treated Shen Fei sincerely, truly loved her, and meant her well…
She hesitated for a moment before giving her daughter a meaningful glance. Baby immediately sensed what she meant and tugged Granny Shen’s hand. “Granny, let’s continue with our treatment. Eating this pill might cause you some pain, and you might sleep for a longer time. Granny, you have to hang on!”
Granny Shen bent down and carried Baby. She was so soft and small. With a teary eye, she said, “It’s alright. Granny is not afraid of the pain. Don’t worry, Baby, Granny will be strong!”
“Yes, Granny, don’t worry. I learned my medical skills from Mother. I am very, highly skilled!” She took out an elixir and put it into Granny Shen’s mouth.
Then she slipped down from Granny Shen’s grasp. “Granny Shen, let’s go over there where you can lie down. If you fall asleep here, Baby won’t be able to move you!”
“Alright.” Granny Shen smiled as Baby pulled her to the small bed opposite them. She laid down on the bed. Before long, she felt her eyelids grow heavy, and she fell into a deep sleep.
When she saw that Granny Shen was sound asleep, Baby turned around and blinked at her mother. She exclaimed proudly. “Mother, it’s done!”
“Great, Baby is the best! Come, let’s go back to the realm…” Su Ruoxi smiled gently at Baby. An idea came to mind. She would return to the realm with Baby, and she would bring along Granny Shen and Shen Fei, who were both sound asleep.
