Xie Jingxing used “The Fu family” instead of “The royal family”, which seemed to imply something. Shen Miao turned to look at him, her heart skipping a beat. She said indifferently, “Young Marquis, you can think whatever you want.”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “As expected.” He nced at Shen Miao. “Since this matter is over, leave immediately. If you stay here for too long and are seen, I won’t be able to save you.”
Shen Miao did not say a word and turned to leave. The meeting with Xie Jingxing today made her understand something. At least, this young marquis of the Marquis of Lin’an was not as simple as he looked on the surface. She could not use such a person, nor could she offend him. If Xie Jingxing’s enemy was also from the Ming Qi Royal Family, that would naturally be good for her. If not, she wouldn’t dare to deal with him either.
After Shen Miao took two steps, Xie Jingxing followed. His legs were long, so he quickly caught up to Shen Miao and threw her a small medicine bottle. “Don’t go around telling people I bullied you and made you cry.” Then, he strode forward and left before Shen Miao.
Under the dim light of the touches, Shen Miao suddenly looked a little sheepish. In her previous life, after she returned from the State of Qin, when she was fighting for favor with Concubine Mei, she had once heard someone advise her, “Your Majesty, although as an empress, a solemn and dignified look is important, His Majesty might not like this. Look at that Concubine Mei. She’s coquettish and weak. It’s said that children who cry will get candy. Love in this world is the same. Men are all protective of weak women. Women should be like water, flexible and gentle.”
However, back then, she scoffed at this saying and thought that such a behavior was not appropriate. How could the empress learn from those coquettish concubines? However, when her life was at stake just now, she suddenly thought of that saying “Children who cry will get candy”.
She was still young and born with a naive and innocent look. Not wearing the empress’s phoenix robe, if she did something cute or yed weak, she could really melt people’s hearts. Shen Miao did not expect that a tough girl like her would cry like a river in front of a man. However, the oue surprised her. With Xie Jingxing’s fierce and arrogant personality, he actually let her off.
However, in this confrontation, she had used a very disgraceful method.
After leaving the secret room, she did not know where Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang left from, but there was no one in the tearoom. When she walked out of the tearoom, Mo Qing was still guarding outside. Shen Miao asked him, “Did anyonee out just now?”
“Someone?” Mo Qing was stunned. “Miss, aren’t you the only one inside? Did you meet someone else inside?”
“No.” Shen Miao smiled and said, “I was just asking.” In her heart, she thought even more highly of Xie Jingxing.
“Why isn’t Brother here yet? Let’s go find him first,” Shen Miao said.
Mo Qing was a little confused. He did not know why Shen Miao changed her mind so quickly. Just now, she said that she would wait for Shen Qiu in the tearoom, but now, she wanted to go and find him. However, Mo Qing naturally would not disobey Shen Miao, especially about such a small matter. He nodded and walked away with Shen Miao.
When Shen Miao left, she looked back at the closed door of the tearoom, wondering if Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang were still inside. Today, she came for that “thing”, but that “thing’ unexpectedly ended up in Xie Jingxing’s hands. For a moment, Shen Miao was puzzled. ording to the trajectory of her previous life, Xie Jingxing shouldn’t have discovered the secret room at this time. Could it be that something had changed in this life, which caused Xie Jingxing’s fate to change too? Or could it be that there were some things that were left unnoticed in her short and tragic life in her previous life?
