Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Su Miao immediately realized what he wanted to ask.

She raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance, "What changes have you noticed in my brother? He's still the same..."

As she spoke, she sighed.

From that sigh, Xie Qin knew that the silence was much more serious than he had imagined.

"My brother is brave and valiant on the battlefield, but in some aspects..." Su Miao hesitated, a helpless expression on her face.

“Yes! I told you to face yourself. If you had discovered it earlier and treated it earlier... things would have been different!” Xie Qin said with a worried expression for Shen Changji.

It seems he needs to increase his firepower!

"Young Master Xie, it's better not to reveal certain things to my brother..."

"You're so kind-hearted!" Xie Qin couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Miao shook her head, as if she felt helpless.

Their conversation was overheard by Chen Changji, who was not far away.

He didn't need to listen carefully to know what Xie Qin was talking about!

Thinking about what happened last night, Shen Changji's face darkened!

"By the way, why is Young Master Xie here today?" Su Miao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I also came here to practice swordsmanship, but... I didn't expect Ziji to bring you here."

As she spoke, Xie Qin couldn't help but glance at Su Miao a few more times.

Although she was dressed in men's clothing, it couldn't hide her delicate beauty.

Su Miao didn't hide, but met Xie Qin's eyes openly, a smile playing on her lips.

Xie Qin was stunned for a moment by that smile.

Most importantly, Su Miao had a good grasp of the art; she knew how to make a smile captivating.

"My brother will marry Sister Liu sooner or later, and I can't stay in the Duke's mansion forever... So I wanted to ask my brother for some advice, so I can protect myself in the future... After all, I know my own identity."

As Su Miao spoke, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes lowered slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qin looked at Su Miao's frail appearance and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

Su Miao could become Shen Changji's concubine, but Shen Changji was unwilling...

It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman was wasted.

“Don’t worry! If you don’t mind, you can treat me as your friend. After all… I really liked the fragrance you blended last time!” Xie Qin said without hesitation.

It was rare to find a woman with such talent, and he couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably toward Su Miao.

"Young Master Xie is joking. How could someone like me be worthy of being your friend?"

"There's no such thing as being a good match or not. Who...who doesn't have a few close female friends?" Xie Qin cleared her throat and said.

Upon hearing this, Su Miao chuckled softly, a bitter expression on her face.

"Please don't make fun of me, Your Highness."

"No, no! I'm telling the truth!" He really meant it.

But... looking at Su Miao's face, he really felt it was very familiar.

"Has Sister Su stayed in the Duke's mansion all these years?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xie Qin's words made Su Miao vaguely sense that something was wrong.

Because she had just noticed Xie Qin scrutinizing her face...

Shen Changji is no ordinary person, and the people around him are naturally no ordinary people either!

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes at first, then she said seriously and firmly, "Of course!"

His expression was so natural that no one could detect anything amiss.

"What's wrong?" Su Miao asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just that Su looked somewhat familiar. Perhaps it's fate!" Xie Qin smoothly steered the conversation back on track.

"Young Master Xie is making fun of me again."

Although Su Miao said this, she already had doubts about Xie Qin's words.

What did he discover?

Most importantly, in Su Miao's memory, she had never seen Xie Qin before, so why did Xie Qin find her familiar?

Su Miao couldn't help but recall Shen Changji's words: she was like someone...

Who does she resemble? And why would Xie Qin say such a thing...?

Xie Qin wanted to say something more, but when he saw Shen Changji walking towards them, he immediately shut his mouth.

Shen Changji glanced at Xie Qin and scoffed coldly.

"Did I come at an inopportune time and disturb you?"

The long, silent voice abruptly interrupted Su Miao's thoughts.

As she turned around, she happened to see the man walking towards her, bathed in light.

His face was stern, he wore a black robe, held the reins in his hand, and spoke in a calm tone that carried a hint of authority.

"No, I just happened to hit it off with Sister Su and chatted with her for a bit. What, are you jealous?" Xie Qin raised an eyebrow, her voice languid.

Shen Changji ignored him and looked at Su Miao.

"Go and get ready."

"good."

Su Miao knew that Shen Changji and Xie Qin still had things to say, so she didn't stay any longer. However, when she passed by Shen Changji...

She lowered her voice, "Brother, don't keep me waiting!"

Su Miao's voice was neither loud nor soft, but only she and Shen Changji could hear it clearly.

After Su Miao left, Shen Changji turned his gaze to Xie Qin.

"Sister Su is indeed interesting."

Xie Qin smiled, but the carefree demeanor from before was gone.

"You've been captivated?" Shen Changji's voice was indifferent, his face expressionless.

"Tsk, what are you saying! Who doesn't like a beautiful woman? But I heard that Old Madam Shen gave Liu Jiaojiao a family heirloom as a birthday gift?"

"This birthday gift is quite special! You're really giving it to me?" Xie Qin couldn't help but ask.

After all, the affair between Liu Jiaojiao and Shen Changji had caused a sensation throughout the capital.

They're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!

"Um."

Xie Qin was somewhat surprised to hear Shen Changji's answer.
