543 Heartbeat (2)


    Hearing Shen Miao’s name, Princess Ming An was stunned at first. Then, she frowned and said in a serious tone, “What’s going on? Tell me!”


    Xie Changchao looked up at Princess Ming An in surprise and said, “Princess, do you remember how Fifth Miss Shen came out first at the Ming Qi test?”


    Princess Ming An’s expression darkened. Xie Changchao’s words reminded her of the humiliation she suffered when shepeted with Shen Miao at the tribute banquet.


    “At that time, after Cai Lin left the stage, my second brother wanted to challenge Fifth Miss Shen. If my second brother went on stage, he would definitely be able to defeat Fifth Miss Shen. However, at that moment, Xie Jingxing rushed out to protect Miss Shen,” Xie Changchao said. He would never forget that day. He originally wanted to stand up for Cai Lin in order to win favor of Lord Cai, but he did not expect Xie Jingxing to suddenly jump out. Although Xie Jingxing looked flirtatious on the surface, he had never taken the initiative to help anyone. At that time, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were almost certain that Xie Jingxing had some other intentions towards Shen Miao. Otherwise, why would he help Shen Miao out?


    The two of them were beaten up badly by Xie Jingxing at the test and almost became aughing stock. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao could never let go of the humiliation.


    “I see.” Hearing that, Princess Ming An sneered. “It seems like Xie Jingxing is not a good person either. Since he hooked up with that b*tch, he deserves to die!”


    Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu’s eyes lit up with joy. As long as they defamed Xie Jingxing and heard someone bad-mouth Xie Jingxing, they would be very happy, as if this could express their dissatisfaction.


    “That Shen Miao is also an eyesore to me. If not for my brother protecting her, she would’ve died in my hands countless times.” Princess Ming An was a little frustrated. What Prince Rui said that day in the pce still echoed in her ears.


    “I want such a good girl too.”


    She was crazily jealous. Thebination of new and old hatred made her want to tear Shen Miao into pieces. However, she was grounded by Huangfu Hao. Even if she went out, she would be surrounded by Huangfu Hao’s guards and could not do anything. Now that Xie Changchao mentioned Shen Miao, the hatred grew wildly from the bottom of her heart.


    Princess Ming An had been arrogant her entire life. There was nothing she couldn’t get. Now that Shen Miao had be her obstacle, there was no reason for Princess Ming An to not get rid of her.


    She suddenly looked at Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.


    Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao knelt on the ground. They wouldn’t get up unless Princess Ming An said so. They had been like this all day and were very obedient, as if they could easily be manipted to do anything.


    She suddenly smiled. Princess Ming An picked up a pastry and looked at the exquisite patterns on it carefully. She said, “Xie Changwu, Xie Changchao. You’ve been with Prince Ding for a few years, right? Why are you still just an errand boy?”


    Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were stunned. They did not expect Princess Ming An to suddenly make them the center of the conversation. However, Princess Ming An was right to the point. It had to be known that they had been secretly working for Fu Xiuyi for two years, but the tasks given to them were all insignificant. They were actually no different from the servants in the pce, asked to please and serve a princess. The reason why they were not valued by Fu Xiuyi was not because they weren’t worthy. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao thought that they were very outstanding in literature and martial arts. The reason why they could not make a name for themselves until now was because they were the sons of a concubine.


    Princess Ming An’s words were filled with mockery. Although they did not say anything, they could not help but look angry.
