749 Exposed (4)
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. What Princess Rong Xin was driving at was too obvious.
Princess Rong Xin picked up a small mirror on the shelf and said, “Actually, he doesn’t look like the Marquis of Lin’an, and he doesn’t look like Yuqing either. The Marquis of Lin’an is stupid and indecisive. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been used by a little b*tch like Concubine Fang. Yuqing was a lovestruck fool. She lost her life because of it. However, Jingxing is different from the two of them.”
“Jingxing looked mischievous, but he was extremely decisive. One of his good friends used to take a fancy to a sword he got. His friend did not say it, but he understood it. Later, he said that he liked his friend’s mirror and exchanged his sword for it.”
“I asked him why he said he liked that mirror when he clearly didn’t like it. He told me because he didn’t like that sword either.”
“When he was young, he seemed to know very well what he wanted and didn’t want. For things he didn’t want, he wouldn’t even take a look at it. He always liked to smile and was popular among girls, but he didn’t show interest in these girls.”
Princess Rong Xin stared at Shen Miao. For a moment, Shen Miao felt that Princess Rong Xin and Xie Jingxing were a little similar in some ways, especially when they stared at people with sharp eyes, as if they could see through people’s souls.
She continued, “I thought that the title of the Marquis of Lin’an was not something he wanted, so from the beginning, he never had any kinship with the Marquis of Lin’an. I always thought that I was someone he wanted to hold on to tightly, but now it seems that I was wrong. I’m also someone he doesn’t need, right?”
The question was directed at Shen Miao.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu had already been pulled out by Princess Rong Xin’s personal maid, Yang Xin. There was no one else in the room. Shen Miao listened quietly and said, “Young Marquis always had you in his heart.”
“Shen Miao, I know you’re smart.” Princess Rong Xin said, “If he really had me in his heart, why would he lie that he’s dead? Why would he watch as I’m tortured by his death? He clearly planned everything from the beginning and took advantage of my trust in him. He was in front of me but he refused to acknowledge me and used a lousy excuse to brush me off. Shen Miao, tell me, does he really me in his heart?”
At the end of her sentence, her tone suddenly became sharp, almost questioning angrily.
Shen Miao’s heart sank. At the end of the day, Princess Rong Xin still discovered it.
But Shen Miao still didn’t want to admit it.
There were many things that she could not say even if she knew it, even if there was ample evidence. Princess Rong Xin was a princess of Ming Qi, and Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty. Once the secret was out and Princess Rong Xin made it public, Shen Miao could not imagine what kind of change it would bring to the overall situation and how much trouble it would cause Xie Jingxing.
Even if Princess Rong Xin was absolutely certain that she was right.
Shen Miao said, “I don’t understand what Princess is talking about.”
Princess Rong Xin looked at her disdainfully. The kindness and gentleness from before were gone, and it was replaced by the condescension of a superior when facing a subordinate. That was the most common expression of the royal family. Once upon a time, Shen Miao could see it every day. She suddenly felt a sense of disgust. It was not that she hated Princess Rong Xin, but she probably hated the blood of the royal family flowing in Princess Rong Xin. Princess Rong Xin said, “Do you know what kind of crime it is to deceive the royal family?”
