Chapter 312: Help Her (6)
“Why two days later?” Shen Miao asked.
"There will be a family dinner in two days, and it just so happens that the Second Madam's best friend is coming to visit her..." Jingzhe didn't finish his words, but his meaning was undoubted. Madam Shen wanted to take advantage of the crowd to prove that Chen Qiu had slandered Jing Chuchu's innocence, and to ask Shen Qiu to give an explanation to the girl in front of everyone. How could Shen Qiu refuse?
Using the same method as in the previous life, in this new life, Madam Shen's method is still not much better.
“How about this, you and Fu’er give some instructions.” Shen Miao waved her hand, letting Jingzhe lean over and whispered a few words in her ear.
“But we still need to find someone to keep an eye on it.” Shen Miao said, “There can’t be any mistakes in this matter.”
"That's all for you." Jingzhe's eyes flashed with eagerness: "I can definitely do this well."
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "This is a good thing, don't let it get ruined. Ruining a person's marriage will bring retribution." She stretched out her two hands and gently tapped the teacup in front of her. She looked calm and composed, just like a superior who was high and mighty.
…
At night, in a manor several hundred miles away from Dingjing City, a man was sitting in the hall.
The people standing in the hall were all dressed in black and long boots, their uniformity and imposing presence striking. The leader bowed and said, "I have failed to perform my duties properly. If word gets back, please punish me, Master."
"Alright." The young man seated at the main seat waved his hand lazily. He was dressed in purple, with a fine dragon pattern embroidered in gold thread at the corners. Under the flickering light, the golden dragon seemed to soar through the flowing purple clouds. He toyed with a woman's hairpin. Even his smile on his handsome and charming face held a wicked edge, like a cynical nobleman from a prominent family. However, upon closer inspection, those startlingly intoxicated peach blossom eyes, filled with wine, were as clear as ice and snow, without a trace of emotion.
"You can't hide it." Xie Jingxing said, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret. I was just trying to buy time. Now that the news has been passed back, time is even tighter."
"Master," the leading black-clad figure frowned and said, "The affairs in Dingjing City have not yet been resolved. Time is running out. What are your plans, Master?"
"Let's not leave any trouble behind," he tilted his head and thought for a moment before he said nonchalantly, "Find a time to get rid of Brother Xie Changwu." Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao at least had half the same blood as him, but when Xie Jingxing said it, there was no hesitation, as if he was just dealing with strangers, or even cats and dogs.
"Master?" The man in black was stunned and asked hesitantly, "For so many years... Master, why?"
"I didn't bother to care before, but now they're both restless," Xie Jingxing said, "If I don't get rid of them, I won't be able to leave with peace of mind."
"But Lord Xie has already taken them into the government," the man in black said. "These past few days, the two brothers have been following Lord Xie closely. I heard that Lord Xie has already introduced them to his colleagues in the government and asked them to take good care of them. It wouldn't be difficult to take action, but it would inevitably alert others."
"Xie Ding, you idiot!" Xie Jingxing's face darkened, and his tone was slightly angry: "He can't do anything good, but he's more likely to cause trouble."
When he addressed Marquis Lin'an by his name, no one below was surprised at all, as if it was the most natural thing.
The man in black coughed lightly and said, "Because the master has been reluctant to enter the government, Lord Xie is worried that there will be no one to take over, so he let these two take over first."
Xie Jingxing's bad temper has been going on for a long time. It seems that Xie Ding is really helpless against Xie Jingxing now. Otherwise, with Lin'an Hou being so biased, why would he give up Xie Jingxing and let the Xie Changwu brothers take over his mantle?
"Forget it." Xie Jingxing frowned. "Let's put the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion on hold for now. As for the Princess' Mansion, from today onwards, send someone to secretly protect Princess Rongxin."
"Master," the man in black hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind before he said cruelly, "Since this is going to happen in the future, it's better to cut ties with Princess Rongxin now..."
"When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?" Xie Jingxing glanced at him lightly, and the latter immediately fell silent, feeling a chill running down his spine. The next moment, a voice came from above: "Whether I do it or not is my business, and whether she appreciates it is her business. I have done my best."
There was a hint of indifference and ruthlessness in his words, which, combined with his unparalleled handsome face, was terrifying and chilling.
He stood up, the hem of his robe swishing slightly on the seat. In the flowing golden light, he said, "According to the plan."
"Dingjingcheng is buying time. I heard that Shen Yuan has already collected most of the evidence," the man in black said, "I'm afraid that after the New Year, Shen Yuan will have collected all the evidence. At that time, the Shen family will definitely be the first to be targeted."
"That's fine." Xie Jingxing shrugged, "If Chen Yuan has any difficulties, you can help him secretly."
“But Chen Yuan is Prince Ding’s man.” The man in black reminded.
"Of course I know he's Prince Ding's man." Xie Jingxing waved his hand: "I just asked the Shen family to block it for us first."
