Chapter 980 Liang Yue (7)

She walked step by step. The moonlight was as cold and thin as water, but it could not dry up the desolation in her heart.

The pavilion was already filled with wine and food baskets. Bajiao said, "Madam, the fireworks have also been purchased."

Shen Miao agreed.

Say it now, and you'll be free once you've said it all. No matter how Xie Jingxing views her in the future, or what she has to face, she can endure it. Nothing will be worse than her past life. Even after enduring all that, what does the lack of understanding, the alienation, the monster-like gazes mean to her?

As she was thinking, she heard a voice behind her: "Are you waiting for the prince?"

Turning around, he saw Pei Lang.

Pei Lang glanced at the things on the table in the pavilion and smiled: "I didn't expect you to do such a thing."

Shen Miao asked him, “Why did you come out?”

"I'm not used to this kind of place," Pei Lang said, "and I can't drink, so I planned to go back first. I didn't expect to see you preparing these." He asked, "Are you planning to reconcile with the prince?"

Shen Miao nodded.

"I used to think there was no one you would yield to. Now I know it's the prince." Pei Lang's smile had a subtle hint of sadness. When he looked at Shen Miao again, he remained calm and composed. "Although it's surprising, it doesn't seem surprising at all."

Shen Miao smiled slightly.

At the same time, Xie Jingxing in Bixiao Tower glanced at Tieyi and was about to stand up and leave.

Ji Yushu tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Today is your birthday party, why are you running away?"

"Let go." Xie Jingxing glanced at him.

Ji Yushu let go obediently: "What are you doing here? You're so mysterious."

Gao Yang said: "Why do you care so much about him?"

Xie Jingxing glanced sideways slightly, and then glanced at Ye Mei and her brother who were talking to Madam Ye, and couldn't help but lower his eyes.

Shen Miao's attitude towards the siblings was truly bizarre, seemingly beyond her own rationality, becoming like a completely different person. The Ye family siblings also seemed to be something more than simple. Although Mo Yujun couldn't find anything wrong, it was precisely because of this that people became even more suspicious.

He suddenly remembered the letter that Tieyi had stuffed into his sleeve.

That letter was written to him by Shen Miao.

She didn't mention an apology, but just said that she had something to say to him at the birthday party in a pavilion in an alley not far from Bixiao Tower.

Sending everyone away, regardless of whether it was an apology or not, was a big concession to Shen Miao. Xie Jingxing had always been timid and easy to coax towards Shen Miao. His cold face was just an act, but now he was actually happy.

He thought that after three days of not being beaten and leaving her out in the cold, she had indeed become much more sensible. He didn't want to upset her in the first place, but just now in the living room, she was wearing too much, and the admiring looks from the men who fell on her while she played the piano... it just made him feel uncomfortable.

In the pavilion, Pei Lang finished his conversation with Shen Miao and prepared to leave. Just as he was descending the stairs, he bumped into a child of eight or nine, catching him off guard and causing him to fall. Ba Jiao and Fennel were waiting for Xie Jingxing at the other end. Shen Miao wondered if one of the young masters from the Bi Xiao Tower had come out to play so late at night. Seeing Pei Lang groaning softly and sounding like he'd fallen hard, she decided to go over and check.

Just as she reached Pei Lang, she saw the child lying face down on the ground, not knowing what had happened. Pei Lang was calling him. Shen Miao also squatted down and was about to speak when the child suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a fierce look!

Shen Miao was caught off guard as she saw a silvery light piercing towards her. It was too late to dodge now, but Pei Lang suddenly hugged her and turned her over, his entire body protecting her!

Then, there was a groan of pain.

But he refused to let go and protected Shen Miao very tightly. However, the child didn't care and kicked Pei Lang away, turned the knife and stabbed Shen Miao!

A sound came from far away, and the child's hand moved aside. Looking at Shen Miao again, it was the same as Pei Lang's, with the blade piercing her abdomen.

Xie Jingxing was walking towards this end with Fennel and Star Anise.

Fennel said, "Madam has been waiting for you for a while. She was afraid you were still angry, so she waited patiently. When you see Madam, please be considerate to her."

Xie Jingxing had a blank expression on his face, but a hint of smile flashed in his eyes.

After walking around the alley, I saw a pavilion. Before I got close, I could smell a strong smell of blood.

Xie Jingxing paused.

Star anise and fennel were also stunned.

The moonlight was as bright as a lantern, casting a crystal clear shadow on the ground. It should have been a beautiful scene of gentle breeze, elegant mood and boundless beauty, but now it suddenly made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Large patches of blood, and familiar people.
