893 Aristocratic Family (4)
His low voice came from beside her ear. “If you continue, I’ll soon have no secrets from you.”
Secret? Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Was she right about something?
“You still have secrets from me?” she asked deliberately.
“Don’t you have secrets from me too?” Xie Jingxing said.
She froze. Xie Jingxing let go and stared into her eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up, but his gaze was locked on her, making her unable to breathe.
He said, “Why don’t we trade? My secret for yours?”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reacted and turned around. “I don’t want to know your secret.”
Xie Jingxing nodded and smiled. “Anyway, you have the ability to find out yourself, right?”
Shen Miao turned around and looked at him in silence.
Xie Jingxing said lazily, “You have the ability to find out about my secrets. Do you think I have the ability to find out about your secrets too?”
Shen Miao instantly panicked.
She had secrets from her previous life. However, she did not have the courage to tell anyone, not even Shen Qiu, Shen Xin, and Luo Xueyan.
Not to mention whether people would think that she was crazy if she laid bare her heart, she was just afraid that no one would believe her, and she was even more afraid that people would look at her strangely.
Would they blame her for being too stupid and weak and causing the death of her children and family? Shen Miao did not dare to try.
Then if Xie Jingxing found out that she had been married before and was Fu Xiuyi’s wife, what would he think of her?
Shen Miao used to think that she didn’t care what others thought of her, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little afraid. She didn’t want Xie Jingxing to treat her like an enemy.
Xie Jingxing saw her strange expression. His eyes darkened, but he sighed and hugged her again.
“I don’t like to force you. If you don’t want anyone to know, I won’t ask,” he said.
“But don’t make me wait too long.”
…
After returning home, Xie Jingxing quickly went out again. He always had a lot of things to do, so Shen Miao did not ask further. The situation of the Lu and Ye families that Xie Jingxing explained to her in the carriage made her realize that the Daliang Dynasty was essentially no different from Ming Qi. Under the harmony and peace, there were dangers lurking in every corner, even more so than Ming Qi precisely because it was more powerful.
Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jingxing’s attitude towards their father was also very strange. Shen Miao remembered that when she first met Xie Jingxing in Ming Qi, he seemed to be searching for something. In the secret room of Prince Yu’s mansion, Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang seemed to have obtained something.
But what exactly was it?
Shen Miao originally thought that it was a map that showed the layout of Ming Qi’s capital, but she thought that such a map would probably not be placed in the secret room of Prince Yu’s mansion. As for what it was, she did not know.
As she thought about it, she thought of something else.
Pei Lang followed them all the way to the Daliang Dynasty to run away from Fu Xiuyi. He also brought Liu Ying along. Liu Ying could settle down anywhere, but Pei Lang aimed high and would probably not be satisfied with the status quo. Originally, he was forced to work for Shen Miao because of Liu Ying. However, now, Shen Miao had no reason to ask Pei Lang to do anything for her.
