Chapter 759: Waves (2)

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "Have you already come up with a plan?"

“I just thought of it suddenly.” Shen Miao emphasized, “I need your help.”

"You want me to help?" Xie Jingxing smiled slightly, looked at her and whispered, "Husband will help you."

Shen Miao: “…”

By the time Shen Miao returned to the Shen residence from Prince Rui's mansion, it was almost dawn. It was Xie Jingxing who "brought" her back. When he learned that Shen Miao had climbed over the wall, Xie Jingxing laughed so hard that Shen Miao nearly lost her temper. However, after this night, many things had quietly changed.

Discussing countermeasures for the Crown Prince's marriage with Xie Jingxing in Prince Rui's mansion gave Shen Miao a strange feeling. She had always been alone on the road to revenge. Now, with a powerful supporter behind her, she felt a sense of security. This supporter was particularly intelligent, able to see the flaws in her countermeasures at a glance and suggest ways to improve them. Shen Miao felt that their partnership was quite compatible.

Unconsciously, Shen Miao's mind resurfaced with Xie Jingxing's words at night, asking her to embroider her dowry obediently.

Xie Jingxing seemed nonchalant about certain things, but Princess Rongxin was right when she said that he had been very clear from the beginning about what he wanted and what he didn't want. Shen Miao wasn't sure how much truth Xie Jingxing had in his words. But when it came to Shen Miao's marriage, Xie Jingxing displayed absolute dominance and dominance, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Shen Miao sighed. The road ahead was long. Ming Qi hadn't yet waded through this muddy water. It would be too extravagant to even mention the subject of love. If the enemy came, the general would stop them; if the water came, the earth would cover it. If Xie Jingxing really had the ability, and he dared to marry the daughter of a general from another country, then there was nothing she wouldn't dare marry.

Because, Shen Miao reached out and touched her heart. She didn’t know if there would be another person in the world who could make her heart beat again.

Her lips felt slightly sore, as if the lingering heat still lingered, causing her to lower her head.

The duplicity that cannot be denied, the heartbeat that cannot be suppressed.

The young man was handsome, decisive, wise and calm.

It's hard not to be tempted.

…

The lights in Prince Ding's mansion were bright that night.

After Fu Xiuyi learned that the marriage between Shen Miao and the Crown Prince had been suppressed because of a remark made by Prince Rui, he had all his staff members gather at Prince Ding's mansion that night to discuss the whole matter.

"I had previously suspected that the relationship between Shen Miao and Prince Rui was not that simple. Now that I've tested it on the Crown Prince, it's clear." Fu Xiuyi sneered, "Whenever Shen Miao makes a move, Prince Rui can't sit still."

Pei Lang stood there with his head bowed, silent. Fu Xiuyi had lost his former respect for him these days, no longer asking for his opinion on many matters. The stark contrast naturally caught the attention of the other staff, who assumed Pei Lang was gloating over Fu Xiuyi's misfortune. But Pei Lang knew that Fu Xiuyi, a man as intelligent as he was, must have noticed something by ignoring him so inexplicably. Perhaps Fu Xiuyi had also noticed his relationship with Shen Miao. Although he was terribly anxious, Pei Lang couldn't show it. Fu Xiuyi hadn't yet broken off relations; he must have had his own agenda, perhaps merely suspicions unconfirmed. He knew the full extent of the performance, not halfway through. His reaction was the typical reaction of a staff member who had been snubbed.

"What do you think, Mr. Pei?" For the first time today, Fu Xiuyi asked for his opinion.

Pei Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head and said, "I think we should immediately investigate the relationship between the Shen family and Prince Rui or Daliang. Shen Miao's status is special, representing the most important military power in Mingqi. If the Shen family and Prince Rui have reached some agreement in private, I'm afraid..."
