950 Encounter (1)


    Madam Ji smiled and said, “Jiaojiao, this is Li Mei. She was the one who gave us the herb to save Jingxing.”


    Shen Miao stared at her.


    The reason why Consort Mei could be favored by Fu Xiuyi for so many years meant that she was not easy to deal with. Those who were more beautiful than her were not as smart as her, and those who were smarter than her were not as beautiful as her. When it was time to make a move, she would make a move, and when it was time to retreat, she would retreat. She was scheming, but she knew her ce well and would not push her luck. She was beautiful, and she knew how to make use of her beauty. The consorts in the pce used to say that if she wanted, all the men in the world would submit to her.


    For example, at this moment, she came in wearing Shen Miao’s clothes. Even the simple and conservative clothes looked good on her. Naturally, by contrast, Shen Miao looked even more miserable.


    Consort Mei had an extremely charming pair of eyes, like a cat that had just woken up in the afternoon. When she met Shen Miao’s gaze, she was stunned. The way Shen Miao stared at her was too strange.


    However, in the next second, Shen Miao lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of smiles.


    “You are beautiful,” Shen Miao said softly.


    Luo Tan sighed in her heart. Previously, Uncle Tang said that the pair of siblings were very outstanding. When she saw Li Ke, she didn’t think too highly of him. She felt that at most, he was good-looking, but when she saw Li Mei, she knew what it was like to be outstanding. Luo Tan had always felt that among the women she knew, Shen Miao was the most unique. Apart from her looks, Shen Miao had a dignified aura that no woman couldpare. Li Mei, on the other hand, gave people apletely different feeling. If Shen Miao was a peony, the queen of flowers, this woman was a poppy, an extremely tempting, charming, and gorgeous existence.


    Shen Miao said, “Miss Li, are you from the Daliang Dynasty?”


    “That’s right.” Li Mei looked at Shen Miao in surprise and smiled. “I just came to Long Ye.”


    “Miss Li and Young Master Li are from Qinzhou.” Madam Ji smiled and said, “When they arrived in Long Ye, they saw the post at the city gate and immediately came to give us the herb.”


    “You saw the post as soon as you arrived in the city?” Shen Miao looked at Li Mei with a faint smile. “Should I say that His Highness is lucky or Miss Li is lucky?”


    This time, almost everyone in the room could hear Shen Miao’s hostility. Li Mei was also stunned. Li Ke took a step forward and bowed to Shen Miao with a smile. “Since Prince Rui is recovering, my sister and I will take our leaves first. Sorry for disturbing you these days.”


    Li Ke’s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. Madam Ji was stunned. Without asking Shen Miao what was going on, she subconsciously grabbed Li Ke and Li Mei and said, “What’s the hurry? You saved Jingxing’s life. Speaking of which, we haven’t repaid you…”
