Chapter 812 - 173: I’m Not a Coward_4
The guards had already dragged the coachman aside.
"Are you trying to put me under house arrest?" Shen Rou shouted in anger.
Hong Xia’s eyes flickered, "We wouldn’t dare! We are simply responsible for Ms. Shen’s safety. If Ms. Shen wishes to return home, please wait another two days, and the guards will escort you back to the capital."
"You... How dare you!" Shen Rou was both furious and frightened. They actually dared to keep her under house arrest at home, and Brother Liuming treated her like this! They really dared to?
"Ms. Shen! For your safety, please return to your room to rest," Hong Xia said with a slight smile, trying to persuade her.
Just as Shen Rou was about to lose her temper, she saw Pei Qian come out from the backyard, leading little Jiujiu who’d just woken up, and furiously said, "Pei Qian! Are you trying to keep me under house arrest!? Brother Liuming allowed me to stay at your house for two days, yet you dare to put me under soft imprisonment!?"
Pei Qian glanced at Hong Xia and Cao Li. Even Cao Li had taken action—could it be the eldest sister and her husband? But she had no kind words for Shen Rou, "Put you under house arrest? Do you think it’s necessary? No one in our family wants you here; you’re free to leave!"
"No one’s welcoming me, yet you have someone blocking my way? Are you afraid that if I go to find Brother Liuming, you won’t be able to get married? You put me under house arrest and have the nerve to deny it!?" Shen Rou didn’t believe her.
"If he’s willing to take you, by all means go find him! Look at you, a daughter of the Official’s family, chasing after a man and even pursuing him to his home. Which respectable family would want you!?" Pei Qian retorted angrily, her words laced with venom.
Deeply humiliated, Shen Rou retorted, "As long as I show up at his house, you’ll have no chance!"
