Chapter 1008 Confession (4)
It feels like the Shen family's heroic spirit can only be reflected in Shen Miao after she drinks.
The reason why Shizhouxiang is called Shizhouxiang is definitely because of its mellowness. The mellower it is, the stronger it is. Only those who have been drunk know how strong the wine is.
Shen Miao handed the full bowl of wine to Xie Jingxing and said, "Drink too."
Xie Jingxing looked at her inexplicably, but Shen Miao stubbornly stretched out her hand, so he had no choice but to sit down at the table, took the wine, and sipped it slowly.
Shen Miao looked at him. Xie Jingxing wasn't as sloppy as she was when drinking, but he wasn't as pedantic and cautious either. He had a kind of unrestrained and bold spirit. As she watched, she also held the bowl and drank it down in one gulp.
Xie Jingxing had only taken a few sips when he saw Shen Miao turn the bowl upside down and wipe his mouth, just like Shen Xin did when he was drinking with the soldiers in the tent. He asked, "Are you done?"
Shen Miao coughed twice: "I have something to tell you."
Xie Jing Xing glanced at her, then looked at the amber-bright wine in his bowl and said, "You need to drink to give yourself courage to tell me, have you done something wrong behind my back?"
“Didn’t you ask me before what my secret was?” Shen Miao said, “No need to trade your secret, I’ll tell you.”
Xie Jingxing paused with the wine bowl in his mouth and looked up at her.
"Do you want to listen?" she asked him.
Xie Jingxing put down his wine bowl and said, "Why does it sound to me like you're trying to set me up?"
“Then I’ll assume that you want to know, so I’ll tell you.” Shen Miao ignored his words and spoke to herself.
"Have you ever felt strange about me? What I said to Su Minglang, and how I attacked Prince Yu? I seemed to have known about the existence of Fengxian Pawnshop for a long time, as well as the second and third branches of the Shen family. You're also surprised why I always target Prince Ding, when you clearly admired him before. It doesn't make sense for love to turn into hate."
She talked about everything, one by one, that Xie Jingxing had doubts about.
Shen Miao said: “In the beginning, you must have been wary of me, so you ordered people to investigate me privately.”
Xie Jingxing's face showed a bit of discomfort. Obviously, he had indeed ordered people to investigate Shen Miao's background as Shen Miao said.
"You must have found nothing. You wonder if there's someone behind me who's very skilled, or if there's someone behind the Shen family who's giving me advice."
Xie Jingxing was silent. Ji Yushu's Fengxian Pawnshop could uncover many unknown secrets, but for Shen Miao, it was like a stone with no opening, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a single place to start.
"Although you can't find out all my details, you must have dug up every detail of my past experiences. You should also know that before my parents returned to Dingjing at the end of the 68th year of Mingqi, I once fell into the water because of Prince Ding. Since that time, my personality seems to have changed. For example, I used to be obsessed with Prince Ding, but after that, I never showed any feelings for him again."
A hint of slight displeasure flashed across Xie Jingxing's eyes. The fact that Shen Miao had once admired Fu Xiuyi truly baffled him. If it weren't a common knowledge, he would have almost thought it was Shen Miao's act. In terms of looks, talent, or status, while Fu Xiuyi was exceptional, he wasn't one of the best in the world. The fact that Shen Miao could be so obsessed with Fu Xiuyi left him speechless and somewhat humiliated. After all, comparing him to a hypocritical person like Fu Xiuyi really made him look quite inferior.
