Chapter 967 Thoughts (6)

He is not doubting you, but doubting himself!

Shen Miao was shocked, as if a piece of ice in her heart had blossomed because of these simple words, and soil, trickling streams, and endless green fields in spring were born from it.

"The master will doubt himself, doubt that he is not good enough, doubt that he is not as good as others, and doubt that you are dissatisfied with him. These doubts add up to doubts about your feelings. In this case, do you still want to hide your feelings?"

Shen Miao lowered her eyes slightly, but her heart began to surge.

Xie Jingxing was such a proud man that he could walk through the crowds with a nonchalant smile. He lived in the most filthy and chaotic court struggles, and at such a young age, he had to bear a heavy burden that did not belong to him. His relatives, brothers, and friends were so distant and distant that no one believed in his sincerity. This made him seem like a person who never cared about anything.

However, people forget that he has the most straightforward sincerity, like a naive teenager. Just like how he treats Su Mingfeng, Princess Rongxin, and even the Marquis of Lin'an.

He was too proud to explain everything, yet he was doing everything behind her back. A person like him, in past lives and present lives, would never get involved with someone like Li Mei and Li Ke. She shouldn't have doubted him in the first place. Her distrust stemmed from her own lack of confidence in herself, just like Xie Jingxing's suspicion of her stemmed from his own doubts about himself.

Shen Miao closed her eyes.

Just like Bajiao said, people always become extremely demanding when it comes to the things they cherish most. She was jealous of Xie Jingxing, so she was afraid that Xie Jingxing and Madam Mei would be involved. Xie Jingxing's care for her made her coldness these days become a thorn in his eyes.

She seemed to have done something wrong, but fortunately, there was still a chance to make up for it.

Bajiao looked at the change in Shen Miao's expression and suddenly smiled again: "Madam, please try to comfort the master. The master has been very cold and harsh these days, and everyone in the Mo Yu Army can't stand it."

Shen Miao shook her head and smiled, “I understand.”

"However," Bajiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Madam, do you... have any grudges with the Ye family siblings?"

Shen Miao was stunned: "Why do you say that?" Her cold attitude towards the Ye siblings was known to everyone in the Prince's Mansion, and everyone was speculating. However, this was their first meeting after all. Everyone said that Shen Miao was jealous of Ye Mei's beauty. Although it was outrageous, there was no other reason. Why would Bajiao ask this?

"You are too cold to the siblings. The master has had people investigating their background these days, but nothing seems to be wrong. So... Madam?"

Shen Miao's heart moved. Firstly, she was surprised that Xie Jingxing was secretly investigating the details of Ye Mei and her brother. Secondly, even Xie Jingxing could not find anything wrong with the details of this brother and sister, which meant that they were really innocent.

“They have some grudges against me.” Shen Miao said, “However… this matter is of great importance, so let’s not talk about it for now.”

Bajiao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Shen Miao and smiled, "It's good that Madam has finally figured it out. Madam, you must not hide your feelings. The master is too confused by anger to see it right now, but when we accompanied Madam to find the strange Taoist priest that day, we saw it clearly. Anyone with a discerning eye can see Madam's feelings, so there's no need to hide them." She winked at Shen Miao again, "The master's birthday is the third day of next month. In previous years, a grand banquet would be held at the Bixiao Tower in Longye. I secretly asked the housekeeper, and it will be the same this year. If Madam wants to prepare a birthday gift, it's best to prepare it for the master in the next few days."

Before Shen Miao could say anything, Ba Jiao threw down another sentence: "Master is a very easy person to appease. If that doesn't work, Madam, you can make a bowl of longevity noodles yourself. I'm sure that will calm the master down! Of course, the most important thing is not to hide your feelings. The master will be happier!" Then he ran away in a flash.

Shen Miao looked at the two doors she had knocked open and closed, and was stunned for a moment, but then she burst out laughing.

I feel much more relaxed than I did a few days ago.

Some things are unavoidable, so just face them head-on. Like an unbreakable blood feud, or... feelings that can't be expressed in words.
