Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “You already have a countermeasure?”
“I suddenly thought of one.” Shen Miao emphasized, “but I need your help.”
“You want my help?” Xie Jingxing smiled and looked at her. “As your husband, I’ll naturally help you.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
When Shen Miao returned home from Prince Rui’s mansion, it was almost dawn. It was naturally Xie Jingxing who “brought” her back. When he found out that Shen Miao came over by climbing over the wall, Xie Jingxing laughed so hard that it almost made Shen Miao angry. However, after this night, many things had changed.
Discussing the countermeasures to deal with the crown prince with Xie Jingxing gave Shen Miao a strange feeling. All along, she had been alone on the path of revenge. Now that she had a powerful backer behind her, she felt inexplicably safe, especially since this backer was quite smart. He could see the flaws in her countermeasures and suggest ways to improve them. Shen Miao felt they were very compatible.
Princess Rong Xin was right about one thing regarding Xie Jingxing. From the beginning, he knew very well what he wanted and did not want. Shen Miao did not know how true Xie Jingxing’s words were. However, the seriousness he displayed towards helping Shen Miao was heart-felt.
Shen Miao sighed. The road ahead was long. She had yet to take her revenge. It was too extravagant for her to think about love. If Xie Jingxing really had the ability, if he really dared to marry the daughter of a general of another country, Shen Miao was all in for it.
Shen Miao reached out and placed her hand on her chest. She didn’t know if there would be another person in the world who could make her heart beat so fast again?
There was still a lingering heat on Shen Miao’s lips, making her face turn red again.
The young man was handsome, decisive, and calm.
It was hard not to be tempted to fall in love with him.
…
That night, Prince Ding’s mansion was brightly lit.
After Fu Xiuyi found out that Shen Miao and the crown prince’s marriage was postponed because of a few words Prince Rui said, he summoned all his aides to discuss the matter.
“I knew long ago that the relationship between Shen Miao and Prince Rui is not that simple. After using the crown prince to test, the evidence is clear now.” Fu Xiuyi sneered. “As soon as Shen Miao is in trouble, Prince Rui will make a move.”
Pei Lang stood below with his head lowered and did not say a word. Over the past few days, Fu Xiuyi had changed from thinking highly of him to not asking for his opinion on many things. The change was too great, so it was naturally noticed by the other aides. They thought that Pei Lang had done or said something that offended Fu Xiuyi, but Pei Lang knew that a smart person like Fu Xiuyi must have discovered something. Perhaps his relationship with Shen Miao had already been discovered. Although he was burning with anxiety, Pei Lang could not show it on his face. Fu Xiuyi had not fallen out with him yet. He must have his own plans. Perhaps he was just suspicious and had yet to confirm it.
“Mr. Pei, what do you think?” Today, for the first time, Fu Xiuyi asked for his opinion.
Pei Lang’s heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and said, “I think we should immediately investigate what relationship the Shen family has with Prince Rui or the Daliang Dynasty. Shen Xin has the most important military power in Ming Qi. If the Shen family and Prince Rui reach an agreement in private, I’m afraid…”
