Chapter 238 Soft Heart (4)
This question remained unanswered until he met Chen Qiu later and returned to the Shen Mansion that evening. On the contrary, when Shen Qiu saw Shen Miao in a daze after leaving the Prince's Mansion, he thought she was frightened by the tragic scene of blood on the floor of the Prince's Mansion. He ordered the kitchen to make a calming soup, and was scolded by Luo Xueyan for taking Shen Miao to such an unlucky place. Shen Qiu felt very aggrieved, but Shen Miao was completely oblivious.
On the other side, some people were also speaking up for Xie Jingxing.
"That girl was too cruel." Gao Yang stared at the scars in front of him in amazement.
Xie Jingxing took off his outer robe, leaving only his loose inner garment. The collar of his inner garment was loose, revealing half of his sturdy and upright figure. His sleeves were rolled up halfway, revealing a deep scar on his exposed arm where a hairpin had pierced through it, leaving the bone visible. Xie Jingxing played with the hairpin in his hand as Gao Yang applied medicine to him.
The hairpin was an ordinary plain silver hairpin, with simple wavy patterns on it. However, the tip of the hairpin was sharpened to an incomparable edge, comparable to a silver needle used as a hidden weapon. The tip was also bent, like a barbed hook. If such a hairpin were to be stabbed into a person's body, it would surely tear off a large piece of flesh.
For example, Xie Jingxing had a wound torn open on his arm.
"Chen Xin's family is so honorable, how could that girl be so cruel? She doesn't look like Chen Xin's daughter at all. Could it be that they picked up the wrong child?" Gao Yang was still very surprised: "Look, she didn't show any mercy when she attacked. The powder even penetrated into the flesh." He sprinkled the powder evenly on the wound. Xie Jingxing frowned and took a breath of cold air.
"You endure the pain." Gao Yang said angrily: "Xie San, I have followed you for so many years, and I have never seen you show any compassion for women. What did you do today? She broke into such a big thing and hurt you, and you just let her go. I say," Gao Yang touched his chin: "Are you really attracted to her? She is still a little girl, she has nothing. Are you crazy?"
Xie Jing Xing said impatiently: "Alright, I'm not that shameless to bully a little girl."
"You talk as if you've never bullied a little girl before." Gao Yang sneered, "I really am getting more and more confused about what you're thinking." He carefully wrapped the bandage around Xie Jingxing's arm, and after bandaging it, he sighed, "Now that we have the things, what do we do next?"
"Look again." Xie Jingxing said.
"The Fu family will find out sooner or later." Gao Yang frowned, "In fact, I think the most strange thing is how Shen Miao knew about the secret room. If she is from the Fu family, you will be exposed."
"She has a grudge against the Fu family," Xie Jingxing said lazily, "She's eager to use me to kill people. As for how she found it, it was probably a coincidence." A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He didn't believe Shen Miao's claim that she accidentally discovered the secret room. Shen Miao was a very purposeful person, as could be seen from her dealings with Shen Qing and Prince Yu. Things that seemed useless could actually play an unexpected role in the end. Xie Jingxing even had a suspicion that Shen Miao's move against Prince Yu might be for the "thing" in his hand.
But how did she know? Even he and Gao Yang had only just learned about it a short time ago, and it had cost them a great deal of energy. Shen Miao was just a girl in the boudoir, and there were many inconveniences in finding out the news, but she was still able to know the secret. She had no fewer secrets than anyone else.
"In short, it's better to be cautious." Gao Yang stood up, picked up the remaining medicine and bandages, and walked out of the house. "Besides, now that she has discovered my identity, I don't know what kind of changes will happen in the future."
