Chapter 883 New House (6)

He shook his head, sighed, and smiled, "You seem to have little faith in the relationship between royal families."

Shen Miao pursed her lips and said nothing. Don't blame her for not believing it. In her previous life, she lived in the deep palace, and as the master of the six palaces, she had seen many unknown things. In this world, women's lives are miserable, mostly because of love. Even Madam Mei fought with her for most of her life, wasn't it all for the favor of a man? But the men in the palace were different. She had seen princes who loved their concubines in every possible way yesterday, and gave her concubines to their staff the next day just to win them over. She had also seen that in order to balance the power of all parties, childhood sweethearts were forced to compromise and become concubines, and then they were married to the daughters of ministers in a grand sedan chair. Men treated women like old shoes, and men were not necessarily loyal to their brothers. There were many cases of brothers killing each other, and fathers and sons killing each other.

Having seen so many things like this, Shen Miao found it hard to believe in the idea of royal family affection. Perhaps it existed, but she just refused to believe it.

"You'll understand later." Xie Jingxing shook his head and changed the subject: "My royal brother isn't a very good person, but he's still a good emperor. But for you, he's probably not someone you can make friends with."

Shen Miao thought that the only person who could say this about Emperor Yongle was probably Xie Jingxing.

"Don't be afraid even if he threatens you. With me here, no one will dare to touch you." Xie Jingxing continued, "The Emperor's sister-in-law is a good person. You can make friends with her. If you have the chance in the future, you can talk to her more."

Shen Miao's heart moved, Xie Jingxing seemed to be explaining something to her.

"Aren't you going tomorrow?" she asked.

"Why, are you afraid of going alone?" Xie Jingxing saw her frown and said, "I will go with you. But my brother will definitely send me away. If he says anything to you, don't take it to heart. Just ignore it."

Shen Miao was silent for a long while: “I understand.”

Xie Jingxing smiled and looked at her with his chin propped up: "Chen Jiaojiao."

"What?"

"I feel like you've become much more obedient since coming to Longye." A smile welled up in his eyes, but it was with ill intentions: "Don't worry, your husband won't abandon you."

Shen Miao took a deep breath, put the comb on the dressing table, stood up, and said, "I'm going to sleep. When are you leaving?"

"Leave?" Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "It's my new house, why should I leave?"

Shen Miao's eyes widened, and Xie Jingxing also stood up and lay down on the bed.

Shen Miao: “…”

Shouldn't this kind of thing be tacitly understood? Aren't all the fake couples in the storybooks supposed to sleep in the study and the bridal chamber? So why is Xie Jingxing like this?

She said, "Then I'll go out and sleep."

Before she could finish her words, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone. Before Shen Miao could stand firmly, she fell onto the bed. A pair of strong arms supported her, but she happened to be held in his arms.

Shen Miao's nose was filled with the pleasant scent of green bamboo from the man, but his chest was rising and falling, and his breathing was hot. For a moment, she didn't dare to look up to see his expression.

After being frozen for an unknown amount of time, Xie Jingxing's deep voice rang out from above his head.

"Two months."

“What?” She subconsciously raised her head and met a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. However, the meaning flowing in the eyes at this moment seemed to be extremely aggressive, causing Shen Miao’s heart to beat “bang bang bang bang” involuntarily.

Xie Jingxing hugged her and said lazily, "I'll give you two months. After two months, I won't be able to bear it anymore."

Shen Miao was stunned. Xie Jingxing raised the corner of his lips, and smiled wickedly and meaningfully. He said, "Being a gentleman is not my hobby... I have never been a good person."

Shen Miao suddenly jumped up and said, “I’m going to sleep in the study.”

Xie Jingxing pulled her back and said, "I'm going to sleep outside."

Shen Miao didn’t dare to look into his eyes.

When she was in Mingqi before, there were still people from the Shen residence, so Xie Jingxing didn't dare to act presumptuously. Now, there was no one she knew in Longye, and most importantly, she had no way to refuse. She and Xie Jingxing were husband and wife, so everything they did seemed to be the norm.

Xie Jingxing opened the door and left in a seemingly happy mood.

Shen Miao caressed her heart, which still stagnated from the intense beating from earlier. Xie Jingxing had indeed become even more unbridled after leaving Mingqi and returning to Daliang. It seemed as if he had been holding back his temper in Dingjing, but now he was unreservedly revealing his true self to Shen Miao.

How do couples in this world get along? Shen Miao thought, in her previous life, she never knew how real couples got along from beginning to end. Therefore, in this life, although she had some experience in other things, she was still like a naive child in this matter.

After a while, Shen Miao came back to her senses and simply covered her head with the quilt and fell down.

There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Other things have to rely on the path of the previous life, but for this matter, you have to grope around in this life... just let nature take its course.
