Chapter 186: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (85)

Sheng Qianmo released his grip. He got up and left.

The prison door was soon closed again.

Silence gradually returned to the cell.

Shu Nuan was lying in a cold corner. Leaning her head against the wall, she closed her eyes as a drop of tear fell from the corner of her eye.

……

The next day, the empress dowager came to the Shenghe Manor in person. Qianmo knew why she’d come, but he had to greet her anyway.

Sheng Gu had come as well. The news of him being poisoned in Southern Xinjiang had already spread, and the dowager had heard that he’d been poisoned by the five-claw insect, and the culprit was Shu Nuan.

In addition, she’d heard that Qianmo had brought Nuan back with him. How could she tolerate such a traitor imprisoned so close to him?

That is why she’d arrived at the manor so early in the morning.

“What did the imperial physician say? Are you well? Did it leave any deep injury?”

Sheng Qianmo said, “I am no longer in danger.”

Hearing this, the dowager was a little relieved, but when she remembered the purpose of her visit, she frowned and asked, “What about the spy? Why did you bring her back here?”

“I have some questions to ask her,” Sheng Qianmo calmly said.

Unexpectedly, her eyes hardened and her face turned somber, as she said, “What else is there to interrogate? So many soldiers saw the insect hidden in her luggage with their own eyes. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have been poisoned. Do you still want to protect her?”

Sheng Gu hadn’t expected that her Fifth Uncle would actually protect the slave from her crimes. She couldn’t help but interject, “Yes, Uncle, she has been a curse from the start, and even now!”

Just after her words fell, Qianmo gave her a cold look, causing Sheng Gu to bite her lips and seal her lips. She dared not speak up again.

Sheng Qianmo said, “Grandmother, I brought her back from the battlefield. If she made a mistake, it displays that I’ve been lacking in disciplining her. Naturally, only I can punish her. That is why I request you not to interfere in this matter.”

“Qianmo! What do you mean? I’m just afraid that she will confuse you!”

Shu Nuan had committed such a big crime, but Sheng Qianmo had not executed her, and instead had brought her back to the manor. The dowager was naturally worried.

However, Sheng Qianmo was as calm and insipid as ever.

“Grandmother said that she was only a little girl, meaning you think I can’t even handle a little girl. “

The dowager looked at him deeply, and she understood that Qianmo was determined to protect the little girl.

She had watched him grow up, and she knew very well that when he got attached to something, it was useless to persuade him. But this matter wasn’t trivial, so the dowager couldn’t let him fool around on his own.

“Is that right? Then tell your grandmother, how do you want to tell your brother, the emperor, about this? A Nanchao spy came in and poisoned you on the battlefield. You nearly died. Now you choose to shield her. How do you want your brother to think about you? Qianmo, to tell the truth, this woman is really not worth it!”

However, Sheng Qianmo remained cold and hard, “I will explain this to the emperor on my own.”

The dowager shook her head, having no choice but to let him have his way.

She had originally made up her mind to come and take care of that person, asking for her to be executed.
