Chapter 1801: Chapter 1739: Song Jiaoer Is Rescued

Before dawn, a clerk from Wei’s Fur Shop discovered a sack tossed at the door. Gathering his courage to open it, he was shocked to find the delicate Commandery Princess inside!

The Commandery Princess was far from her usual noble appearance. Her legs and feet were tied, hair disheveled, face swollen and filthy, and she was unconscious. Startled, the clerk quickly carried her into the shop and rushed to the back hall.

Upon receiving the news, Song Cheng hurried over. Seeing Song Jiaoer, who was unbound but still unconscious, he first sighed in relief, then coldly snorted and ordered, "Fetch a doctor, and have a maid assist the Commandery Princess with washing."

Such a reckless girl, better hope she hasn’t suffered any severe damage, or she’d be ruined for life.

The people set off on their errands, and hearing the clerk’s words, Song Cheng narrowed his eyes, pondering how Tie Lao Er was indeed involved with those kidnappers; otherwise, how could they have returned her so quickly?

It seems they knew who they could and could not offend.

An hour later, a maid shuffled to report to Song Cheng.

"How is she?"

"To answer Young Master, the young lady is mostly unharmed, except for some facial bruising and scraped fingers. She suffered no other harm," the maid replied respectfully.

Song Cheng responded with a sound, considering her fortunate, and said, "Go and take care of her."

"Yes."

Shopkeeper Lin arrived leisurely and, upon seeing Song Cheng seated calmly drinking tea, felt his heart skip a beat. Smirking slightly, he stepped forward to greet him.

"The Commandery Princess has been found. Arrange for two suitable individuals to attend to her, and later have her sent back to Nanyue," Song Cheng instructed sternly.

Shopkeeper Lin was startled, then delighted, and asked, "Where was the Commandery Princess found? Is she all right?"

"That’s none of your concern. Your job is to do as I say!" Song Cheng glared at him and said, "You work for the Princess Consort, and if you can’t handle even this, I’ll report to Father, who will advise the Princess Consort to replace you with someone more competent."

Shopkeeper Lin’s expression changed slightly.

"Don’t forget, after the Commandery Princess went missing, you couldn’t locate her for a long time," Song Cheng said coldly, "Just this inability to complete your task can make the Princess Consort abandon you."

Filled with anger inside but not daring to speak, Shopkeeper Lin forced a smile and said, "I will heed Second Young Master’s instructions."

Song Cheng lowered his eyes and raised his tea to drink.

Witnessing this, Shopkeeper Lin felt even more disdainful, inwardly spitting, thinking what an arrogant young master, just a plebeian born of a lowly singer, and he truly imagines himself a prince, bah!

From a nearby room, a woman’s scream was heard, causing both their expressions to change.

Song Cheng set down his teacup and swiftly approached, entering the room where Song Jiaoer was placed. He found the area in disarray and Song Jiaoer sitting on the bed, like a startled bird, warily eyeing everyone present.

"What happened?" Song Cheng asked sternly.

"To answer Young Master, the Commandery Princess was momentarily frightened, mistaking us for those bad people," the maid replied, filled with grievance.

Upon seeing Song Cheng, Song Jiaoer jumped off the bed, staring wide-eyed at him, "Song Cheng? Is it you who rescued me?"

Was this not a dream? Had she truly left that kidnapper’s lair and returned to her own place?

Song Jiaoer pinched the arm of a maid beside her, and hearing the girl cry out in pain, she let out a long breath of relief—it was real, she was truly safe!

She looked down at herself, touched her face, overwhelmed with joy and relief; she was unharmed.
