Shen Miao sat in Princess Rong Xin’s mansion for a while and changed her clothes. After drinking a cup of tea, Princess Rong Xin walked in.

“Miss Shen, are you feeling well?” Princess Rong Xin smiled and said, “I’ve already instructed the kitchen to get ginger tea. It’s such a cold day. Warm your body and don’t catch a cold.”

Shen Miao smiled back. “Thank you, Your Highness.” However, she was a little puzzled. Princess Rong Xin had never been so friendly to her. At this moment, she still looked the same, but there was no sternness or coldness on her face. It made Shen Miao wonder if the person in front of her was really Rong Xin.

While she was thinking, Princess Rong Xin was also sizing her up, looking thoughtful. Although Princess Rong Xin did not like to go out, she was still informed of all the rumors circulating in the capital. It was precisely because she did not often go out that the rumors she knew were all outdated.

In Princess Rong Xin’s impression, Shen Miao was a timid and cowardly woman who was extremely bold when it came to pursuing men. She had no talent and no virtue, and she was born vulgar. How could she be worthy of Xie Jingxing, who was both good-looking and talented? However, at this moment, the girl sitting in front of her was pretty and delicate, and her eyes were as clear as water. Even when she was sitting, she had a noble and dignified aura that was rare in girls of her age. Prince Yu Rong couldn’t help but change her opinion about Shen Miao.

“Tonight, Wanli Lake must be very crowded. Miss Shen, were you frightened that you got separated from your family?” Princess Rong Xin smiled and asked with concern, “After drinking the ginger tea, I’ll get a servant to send you back.” She looked like she was testing Shen Miao. “In order to help you, my stubborn nephew actually begged me for the very first time.”

Shen Miao looked at Princess Rong Xin’s meaningful expression and did not know how to respond. She paused for a moment before saying, “Young Marquis Xie is a chivalrous man. Sorry for disturbing you today.” After saying that, she thought to herself, “Is Xie Jingxing a chivalrous man? He is clearly not. Today, if not because of him, I wouldn’t get kidnapped. Why do I feel like I owe him a favor?”

Seeing that Shen Miao seemed to be deliberately trying to distance herself from Xie Jingxing, Princess Rong Xin was relieved. If Shen Miao pestered Xie Jingxing to be responsible to her because of what happened tonight, Princess Rong Xin would definitely look down on Shen Miao.

“Don’t mention it.” Princess Rong Xin smiled kindly. “Jingxing already said that you’re his friend. Speaking of which, Jingxing is my nephew. Since you’re friends with him, you can treat me as your auntie too.”

Shen Miao held the teacup and almost choked on the tea. Treating Princess Rong Xin as her aunt? In her previous life, when she married Fu Xiuyi and Princess Rong Xin really became her aunt, she went to visit her, trying to fix their relationship. However, Princess Rong Xin said coldly, “Forget it, I don’t have a niece like you.”

The cold and distant Prince Yu Rong actually wanted Shen Miao to treat her as her aunt. Shen Miao felt that she was probably dreaming.

Seeing that Shen Miao was a little stunned, Princess Rong Xin felt that she was really an innocent child. She held Shen Miao’s hand and said, “I don’t have a child. Why don’t you come to visit me often in the future?” She took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on Shen Miao. “Take this as a gift from me.”
