965 Good Intention (4)
In the end, nothing came out of this conversation. It seemed to be the first time Ye Maocai had met a stubborn person like Xie Jingxing. Seeing that it was getting late, he gave up. He knew that he had come for nothing today, and there was no point in staying any longer. He was about to stand up and leave with Ye Mei and Ye Ke.
Just as Xie Jingxing instructed Uncle Tang to send them off and was about to leave the main hall, Madam Ye seemed to have thought of something and turned around to ask, “In a few days, it will be Prince Rui’s birthday, right?”
Shen Miao was stunned. She did not know about Xie Jingxing’s birthday. The birthday he spent in Ming Qi was definitely not real. As for his real birthday, she had never heard Xie Jingxing mention it.
Madam Ye, on the other hand, had sharp eyes. When she saw Shen Miao’s slightly surprised expression, she smiled and asked, “Why do you look like you don’t know?”
Ye Mei and Ye Ke also stopped in their tracks. Ye Mei looked at Shen Miao with a strange gaze.
As a wife, she did not know her husband’s birthday. This… was strange for a married couple.
Xie Jingxing drank tea, as if he did not hear Madam Ye. Shen Miao smiled and said indifferently, “Madam Ye, do you still remember Miss Ye and Young Master Ye’s birthday?”
Madam Ye was puzzled. “This…”
Shen Miao did not give her a chance to speak. She smiled and said, “Madam Ye, you’d better think of a way to make up for Miss Ye and Young Master Ye’s birthday first.” In other words, she was saying “Don’t be a busybody and mind your own business”.
Madam Ye’s expression turned ugly. Ye Maocai seemed to be a little embarrassed. Ye Mei pulled Ye Ke and bowed to Shen Miao before hurriedly leaving.
Looking at their backs as they left, Shen Miao took a deep breath.
In the end, Ye Mei and her brother succeeded. Before she made a move, the Ye family brought them away. From now on, if she wanted to make a move on Ye Mei and Ye Ke, she had to first deal with the Ye family. This was much harder than simply assassinating this pair of siblings.
She was indignant and unhappy.
As she thought about it, she hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at Xie Jingxing. She thought about how she was angry yesterday and took her anger out on him. Perhaps they should really have a serious talk. These days, she had indeed been behaving badly.
However, just as she turned around, she saw Xie Jingxing stand up expressionlessly and walk past her without looking at her. He didn’t say a word, like a stranger.
Shen Miao wanted to stop him and say that she had something to tell him, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Seeing this, Gu Yu and Jingzhe, who were behind her, looked at each other. The two of them knew that Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing were having a quarrel these days. If the master and madam were not happy, the servants would naturally not be happy. However, just now, Shen Miao clearly wanted to reconcile but she was given the cold shoulder. Xie Jingxing’s coldness probably hurt her a lot.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu had been with Shen Miao for so many years, especially in the past two years, they had figured out Shen Miao’s personality. Shen Miao was stubborn. With Xie Jingxing treating her like this, she would not take the initiative to make peace again. Jingzhe said in a low voice, “This is bad. We can’t let this continue.”
Gu Yu also pondered and said, “We have to think of a way.”
When Shen Miao returned to the house, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Xie Jingxing’s attitude towards her was really annoying.
