894 Aristocratic Family (5)


    In the end, Shen Miao stood up and walked out of the room, deciding to talk to Pei Lang face to face.


    Pei Lang was arranged to stay in the room on the east side of Prince Rui’s mansion. The environment was not bad, and Pei Lang was treated quite well.


    When Shen Miao arrived, Pei Lang was sitting in the courtyard and ying chess. Two maids in green stood beside him. The two of them were pouring tea for Pei Lang from time to time. asionally, their gazes wouldnd on Pei Lang. Although they had been restraining themselves, their eyes still revealed admiration.


    The sight of which made Shen Miao stop in her tracks and look from afar, thinking about what happened in her previous life.


    In her previous life, Pei Lang was extremely talented. In the end, after Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, he supported Pei Lang and made him the state preceptor. Pei Lang was handsome and lofty, looking like a sage. The court officials all knew that he was trusted by Fu Xiuyi and did not dare to be his enemy. Pei Lang was considered very famous throughout Ming Qi.


    Fu Xiuyi once tried to matchmake him with the daughter of a minister, but Pei Lang rejected it. Fu Xiuyi thought that Pei Lang probably had someone he liked, so he let him be. Before Shen Miao went to the State of Qin to be a hostage, she was quite close to Pei Lang and had once asked him if he had a girl he liked.


    What was Pei Lang’s answer at that time?


    Shen Miao looked a little dazed.


    Pei Lang answered, “Love is not what I’m pursuing.” Pei Lang was a very rational person, so much so that when he was helping Fu Xiuyi make a decision, he would eliminate any possibility of being emotional to ensure that nothing would go wrong.


    Speaking of which, until Shen Miao died in her previous life, Pei Lang had always been alone and had never had a rtionship with women.


    As Shen Miao was thinking, the maid beside Pei Lang who was fanning him to chase away the flies saw Shen Miao. She was first stunned, then she quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Princess Consort.”


    The other maid in green quickly bowed respectfully.


    Pei Lang looked up and saw Shen Miao. Shen Miao smiled and walked over, saying to the two maids in green, “You can leave.”


    The maids looked at Pei Lang with a troubled expression. Pei Lang waved his hand, and the two maids left. Shen Miao looked at the backs of the two of them and asked, “It’s rare to see Mr. Pei together with women.”


    The way the two maids looked at Pei Lang was filled with admiration.


    Pei Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he did not refute. These two maids were sent to him by Prince Rui. If it were in the past, Pei Lang would definitely think of a way to chase them away and not keep them by his side. However, this was not Ming Qi, and they were not his servants. He did not know if it was Xie Jingxing’s idea, but no matter how much he disliked them, he could only endure having them around.
