Chapter 1020 Leaving (4)
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Shen Miao looked at her in confusion: "If you have something to say, just say it directly." She didn't care about Xie Jingxing's presence.
Hui Xiang said, "This afternoon, Master Pei said he wanted to go out for a walk. We servants thought Master Gao had also said that if Master Pei went out for a walk more often, it would help his injuries, as long as he didn't go far. Master Pei wanted to be alone, so we servants didn't think much of it. He usually just walks around the door for a while and then comes back, but today he didn't come back until dark."
Shen Miao frowned: "Something happened?" Pei Lang had no martial arts skills. If he encountered any danger on the road, he would not be able to protect himself at all.
“We servants thought so too.” Hui Xiang said, “But Ba Jiao found this on the table in Master Pei’s room.” She fished out something that looked like a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Miao, adding, “Some of Master Pei’s clothes and valuables are missing from the room. If we servants are not mistaken, Master Pei must have left.”
Shen Miao paused as she was about to open the letter.
Xie Jingxing's expression also changed slightly.
"Did he say anything before he left?" Shen Miao asked Huixiang.
"Nothing was said, just like usual. He even said the weather was nice today." Fennel said.
Shen Miao was a little dazed. Xie Jingxing said, "Let's see what the letter says." He was about to get up and leave when Shen Miao grabbed his sleeve.
Xie Jingxing turned around, and Shen Miao said, "Let's take a look together."
He paused, thought for a moment, and sat down again, but a smile appeared at the corner of his lips again.
Upon opening the letter, the first thing that caught my eye was Pei Lang's handwriting. Pei Lang's handwriting, like his own, was elegant and refined, with the graceful elegance of those famous scholars. He himself looked like this, yet it was hard to imagine that such a romantic and unworldly person had been constantly embroiled in power struggles in his previous life.
The letter began by saying that she had been living in Prince Rui's mansion for such a long time, causing a lot of trouble for the mansion, and thanked the couple for taking her in. She also hoped that Shen Miao would keep her promise and settle Liu Ying's second half of her life.
Pei Lang wrote that although he had followed Shen Miao to Longye before, it was only a temporary measure. He had no other choice but to go to Longye because of Fu Xiuyi. However, staying in Prince Rui's mansion would still be inconvenient. He had his own plans and intended to travel and gain more experience while he was still alive. That was why he left without saying goodbye.
Because he and Shen Miao had a teacher-student relationship before, and later they became friends, during the time he was in Ding Wang Mansion, he learned some things about Ding Wang and knew that Shen Miao seemed to have always been wary of Ding Wang, so he sorted out some things for Shen Miao, hoping that Shen Miao would be able to use them in the future.
After handing the contents of this letter to Shen Miao, their relationship was considered settled. No one owed anyone anything, Pei Lang wrote. He didn't know if he would have the chance to meet again in this life, so he could only say take care.
Pei Lang's letter was extremely simple, with almost nothing special about it. It was unclear whether it was intentional to distance himself from Shen Miao. Between the lines, there was a sense of distance and courtesy, a polite and courteous demeanor, as if they had returned to the early days of Guangwentang teacher and student.
The other piece of paper in the letter was densely packed with details about Fu Xiuyi: his confidants, his plans, his future plans, the people he wanted to win over and the people he wanted to overthrow.
Xie Jingxing had originally casually glanced at the paper along with Shen Miao, but when he saw the back of it, his expression couldn’t help but become serious.
This letter recorded every detail of Fu Xiuyi, making it seem as if Fu Xiuyi had no secrets at all in front of them, revealing everything. With this thing, dealing with Fu Xiuyi was like grasping a snake's weak spot, making every step piercing.
