954 Encounter (5)
Mo Qing looked at Shen Miao and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Madam, they…”
“If I don’t get rid of these two people, there will be endless trouble in the future. Kill them for me,” she said.
Before Mo Qing could answer, he suddenly heard a voice outside the window. “That’s not a good idea.”
The two of them turned around and saw that the window was open. Jingzhe had probably left in a hurry and forgot to close the window. At this moment, it was dark outside, so the two of them did not know that there was someone else standing outside the window. It was Pei Lang.
Shen Miao gestured for him to come in. Pei Lang walked in and glanced at Mo Qing. He shook his head at Shen Miao and said, “It’s not a good idea to kill someone rashly.”
Shen Miao stared at him coldly. Consort Mei’s appearance reminded her of those dark days in the past, and she inexplicably found Pei Lang displeasing to the eye.
Pei Lang cleared his throat. He said, “That pair of siblings are living in this mansion now. If you kill them, Prince Rui will be implicated.”
“Secondly, what you did in the hall today was too much. There are already rumors outside that you’re jealous of Li Mei’s beauty and deliberately made things difficult for her. I was wondering why you behaved strangely today, but now that I heard that you have a grudge against them, I understand. Since you have a grudge against them, you shouldn’t show it. Once you show it, you’ll be the first suspect if anything happens to that pair of siblings.”
“Thirdly, the fact that you asked Mo Qing to kill someone for you means that you don’t trust anyone else, including Prince Rui’s subordinates. But is Mo Qing really a match for the other guards in this mansion? No matter how good Mo Qing’s martial arts are, it’s difficult for him to fight against two. If he’s caught, Prince Rui will definitely ask you the reason. There must be a reason why you asked Mo Qing to do it but didn’t tell Prince Rui. At that time, your secret will be exposed.”
“Therefore, this is not a good idea,” Pei Lang said in one breath.
Shen Miao stared at him for a while. After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, “Mr. Pei, are you always so rational?” Without waiting for Pei Lang to speak, she sneered. “That’s right. If you weren’t rational, you wouldn’t have been where you were.”
Pei Lang did not understand what she meant. Shen Miao continued, “You’re right. I can’t kill people rashly in Prince Rui’s mansion. Moreover, death is too merciful a punishment for these two people.”
Shen Miao said to Mo Qing, “Go out and investigate for me first. I want to know everything about this pair of siblings! Everything, big or small!”
Mo Qing left.
Shen Miao took a deep breath. Her enemy was right in front of her, but she could not do anything now. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Mo Qing nodded and left. Pei Lang looked at Shen Miao and thought for a moment before asking, “You seem to be very resentful towards this pair of siblings.”
Shen Miao sneered. “Why do you say so?”
He looked at Shen Miao inquisitively. “The fact that you want them dead so much means that you’re afraid of them. Are these siblings… very powerful?”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Pei Lang in front of her and asked angrily for no reason, “Mr. Pei, you’ve always prided yourself on being insightful. Do you know what kind of deep hatred is driving me to want to kill them so much.”
“Are you willing to tell me?”
