Chapter 962: Thoughts (1)

Xie Jingxing left.

Shen Miao sat alone at the table. Jingzhe walked in and looked outside. She had been in the outer room just now, and the two people inside hadn't deliberately lowered their voices, so she heard every word. Now, seeing Shen Miao's bad face, although she felt uneasy, she couldn't help but say, "Madam, you are too distant with His Highness."

Shen Miao remained silent, and Jingzhe continued, "Before Madam married into the Prince's household, she treated His Highness much better than she does now. These past few days, it seems like she's deliberately avoiding His Highness. Sick people are naturally more sensitive, especially since His Highness narrowly escaped death this time, so his mind must be even more sensitive. Madam's lack of concern at this time will inevitably make His Highness feel uncomfortable. Tomorrow, Madam will offer some kind words of comfort, and everything should be fine. Madam, please don't be too sad."

Shen Miao said, “I understand, you can leave now.”

Jingzhe then retreated.

After Jingzhe left, Shen Miao pressed her forehead. She was powerless to face Xie Jingxing in her struggle, but to be fair, Xie Jingxing was also innocent in this. The sentence "In fact, you, from beginning to end, have never been moved" made her feel cold.

Shen Miao couldn't remember exactly when she first fell in love with Xie Jingxing. Perhaps it was when he saved her life on Wanli Lake, or when he took off his mask in front of Princess Rongxin in the Princess's Mansion, or perhaps it was on their wedding day when he extended his hand from his high horse. Or perhaps it was even earlier, even earlier, when she set the fire in the ancestral hall, when she first met Xie Jingxing and their confrontation began.

The feeling of being moved was too far away. In her previous life, she had only been moved by Fu Xiuyi, and that had come at a heavy price. With that experience in mind, she dared not be easily moved. Even when she was willing to give her feelings, she was stingy, cautious, and calculating the gains and losses. However, Xie Jingxing was different. Whether he was inherently arrogant or reckless, he squandered his emotions. In this marriage, their contributions were not equal. But Shen Miao also gave her everything she could.

Until now, because of her feelings, she could not deal with Madam Mei without scruples. Admiration and suspicion were intertwined, and she could not face Xie Jingxing.

And what about Xie Jingxing? I'm afraid he's also extremely disappointed with her in his heart.

She sat at the table. The hard-earned medicinal herb she had obtained from Taoist Chiyan was locked in a box and thrown aside. Because no one had taken care of it for these days, it was covered with a thin layer of dust and no one noticed it anymore.

In the next few days, Shen Miao's life became a little strange.

Luo Tan and Gao Yang didn't know what had happened. Luo Tan was probably thinking that Gao Yang had deceived her. Gao Yang saw that Xie Jingxing's poison was almost cleared, so he left the old doctor in the Prince's Mansion and took Luo Tan away to an unknown place. No one was there.

Madam Ji and Ji Yushu also returned to the Ji Mansion. As long as Xie Jingxing was fine, there was no point in them staying in the Prince's Mansion.

Pei Lang didn't know why, but he seemed to have caught a cold, so he rested in the house and didn't go out.

Suddenly, Shen Miao was left alone. The servants in the Prince's Mansion also noticed that Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao seemed to be in a cold war, and they all acted cautiously. For a moment, everyone in the Prince's Mansion felt insecure, and the atmosphere was even more solemn than when Xie Jingxing was unconscious.

It was at this time that someone from the Ye family came.

Someone from the Ye family came to claim Ye Mei and Ye Ke.

The Ye family seemed to know that Shen Miao disliked Ye Mei and Ye Ke, and had never mentioned this matter to Shen Miao from beginning to end. Their visit today was just to inform her.
