487 Prince Rui’s Neighbor (6)
Concubine Fang of the Marquis of Lin’an was the biological mother of Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao. Back then, Princess Yuqing’s death was more or less related to Concubine Fang. Everyone knew that Princess Yuqing was a sore point for Xie Jingxing, but Shen Miao deliberately brought it up.
Xie Jingxing looked at her with a faint smile. “Are you trying to get information out of me?”
“Will you tell me?”
“There’s no harm in telling you.” Xie Jingxing said lazily, “In my eyes, she’s more insignificant than nothing.”
Shen Miao looked at him. “Why don’t you kill her and take revenge then?”
Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes. He stared at Shen Miao for a while and suddenly smiled. His voice was as pleasant as the spring breeze, but also as cold as the winter. He said, “Shen Miao, are you worried that Shen Xin will become the second Xie Ding?”
Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “That’s right.” After a pause, she said, “If I were in your position, I would do everything I can to take revenge. I’ll kill Concubine Fang and her two sons. Only then will the revenge be complete.”
When Xie Jingxing heard this, he was not surprised. He only smiled, as if he was laughing at her naivety. Xie Jingxing said, “I didn’t kill Concubine Fang because I couldn’t be bothered and I don’t like trouble. Xie Ding and Princess Yuqing have nothing to do with me. Why should I take revenge?”
Shen Miao was stunned.
Shen Miao had heard from Xie Jingxing saying that he wasn’t related to Xie Ding before and was not surprised. However, why was it that even Princess Yuqing had nothing to do with Xie Jingxing? If he was not the son of Xie Ding and Princess Yuqing, how did he become the son of the Xie family?
Shen Miao thought of something and asked Xie Jingxing, “Then Princess Yuqing’s son…”
“Died,” Xie Jingxing said indifferently. “He died at birth.”
“If Xie Ding’s son was still alive, he would die before he reached the age of three.” Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “Because it was me, Concubine Fang didn’t dare to do anything. Because…” He smiled evilly.” The people sent by her to kill me would all disappear mysteriously for no reason. ”
Shen Miao was enlightened. She knew it. Since Concubine Fang could force Princess Yuqing to a dead end and cause her to die in grief, she must be someone with schemes and ambitions. How could such a person be willing to let Xie Jingxing grow up safely? It turned out that the people she sent would always disappear for no reason, so she probably felt scared and decided to restrain her ambition. As for why those people disappeared, since Xie Jingxing was the Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty and had some capable people around him, it should be more than enough to deal with Concubine Fang.
The confusion Shen Miao had was all cleared. Xie Jingxing looked down at her and said, “You don’t have to worry. Shen Xin is different from Xie Ding.”
Shen Miao said, “I’m also different from you.”
Xie Jingxing was slightly stunned. Shen Miao said, “You couldn’t be bothered to deal with her because there is no need. I’m different. If someone has designs on my family like Concubine Fang, I’ll do everything I can to make her the victim of her own evil doing. If someone with ulterior motives like Concubine Fang tries to ruin my family, I’ll tear her into pieces and drag her corpse to feed the dogs.” At the end of her sentence, she lowered her head, but there were other emotions in her eyes.
Xie Jingxing placed a hand on her head and said, “If there’s such a person, just tell me. I’ll kill them for you since, you know, we are neighbors.”
Shen Miao shook off his hand and Xie Jingxing looked at her with a smile. His expression was relaxed and his words were joking, but his eyes were serious.
For Xie Jingxing to kill someone like Concubine Fang, it was indeed easy.
Shen Miao said, “I can kill people myself.”
“It’s not a good move to make until the last moment.” Xie Jingxing said, “If you feel bad about it, you can give me something as a reward for helping you kill.”
Shen Miao said sarcastically, “Prince Rui, you are noble. I can’t afford to hire you to kill someone.”
Xie Jingxing smiled. “I’ll give you a 20% discount.” He stood up and walked to the table. The handkerchief given by Luo Ling was lying there. Xie Jingxing picked it up and sniffed it. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Although the fragrance is bad, my dog hasn’t been sleeping well recently. This might help it sleep better.” Without waiting for Shen Miao to speak, Xie Jingxing put the handkerchief into his pocket. “I’ll take it as my reward.”
