“Shen girl, do you have a grudge against the Shi family?”
Shen Miao looked at the young man in front of her quietly.
He was beautiful, but in a terrifying way. Although he had a cynical expression, he had a calmness unsuitable for his age. It was not shown on his appearance, but it was in him.
It was a pity that such a talented person died young in her previous life.
A look of pity flashed across her eyes. When she spoke again, her tone was calm. “Yes.”
“The game of chess is interesting.” Xie Jingxing looked at her appraisingly. “You took such a big detour just to help Gao Yan take on his official career. Are you trying to mess up Ming Qi’s imperial court?”
Even though Shen Miao had lived for two lifetimes, she couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.
Ordinary people would take one step at a time, but smart people would take ten steps at a time. She suddenly didn’t know how to answer his question.
A moment later, she replied, “What does this have to do with the Young Marquis?”
“I don’t care about Ming Qi, but I won’t allow anyone to touch my family.” There was a warning in his tone. “If you have any ideas about my family, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Shen Miao glanced at him. Xie Jingxing seemed to have always hated his family and loved to go against his father. Now, it seemed that he didn’t completely hate it. He probably still cared about his family. Otherwise, in her previous life, he wouldn’t have ended up dying for his family.
It was understandable that Xie Jingxing suspected that she would attack the Xie family. The Shen family and the Xie family had never seen eye to eye. Moreover, what she did now was incomprehensible. In the eyes of outsiders, it was indeed possible that the Shen family would cause trouble for the Xie family.
……
“Marquis Xie, don’t worry,” she said indifferently, her tone as if she was talking about the weather today. “The Xie and Shen families have nothing to do with each other, so naturally, nothing will happen. What Marquis Xie is worried about won’t happen. In the short span of a few decades, the tide will be turned around many times. The Xie family now sees the Shen family as their enemy, but one day, we will be in the same boat and face the same enemy.”
“Are you trying to show your friendship for me?” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
“Yes,” Shen Miao said calmly.
Xie Jingxing sized up the girl in front of him. Ever since he was born, he had seen countless women. When he was young, those women wanted to get close to his father, but later on, those women started to get close to him. Among these women, some were delicate, some were drop-dead gorgeous, some were good with swords, and some were good at strategy.
Xie Jingxing had seen thousands of smart people, but none of them surprised him as much as the person in front of him.
Perhaps it was because of the intuition of people who had been on the battlefield, Xie Jingxing could smell blood from this girl. It was like a pool of stagnant water, but there was a huge ferocious beast lurking at the bottom. Now that the surface was calm, it was just waiting for an opportunity to attack. When the day came, there would definitely be a bloodbath.
Although this sounded a little ridiculous. How could a young girl set off a storm? However, Xie Jingxing would never underestimate his intuition.
Under the lotus-green embroidered cloak in the plum forest, the girl looked dignified, lonely, decisive, and indecipherable.
