Chapter 481 Guessed (6)
"What's wrong with me? Miss Shen didn't ask about me, so why would she ask about you? Could it be that she likes you, but isn't it Third Brother's beauty that Miss Shen admires?" Ji Yushu thought of something and laughed mischievously: "Hehehe, Miss Shen is also bewitched by Third Brother."
"Only a fool like you would believe such nonsense." Gao Yang looked at him coldly: "Do you think everyone would be as blinded by beauty as you are?"
Ji Yushu patted his chest and said, "I can't argue with you, so I won't tell you anymore. Third brother, what should we do now? Should we find her? Or should we just make up some random news to trick her?"
"Since Shen Miao is asking about these three pieces of information, she must have some knowledge of them. If she lies, she might be discovered. What exactly does Shen Miao mean? Now it's really hard to see the Shen family's position. And Pei Lang, who has had a private relationship with Shen Miao in the past two years, has now become Fu Xiuyi's confidant. How can a little girl be so complicated?" Gao Yang rambled on and on, and found that Xie Jingxing didn't listen to him at all. He looked at the teapot on the table and didn't know what he was thinking, so he reminded him, "Xie... Your Highness, how are we going to deal with this?"
Xie Jingxing came back to his senses and thought for a moment: "No need to deal with it."
"Why?" Before Gao Yang could speak, Ji Yushu spoke first, "You're not going to make money? Besides, Miss Shen is very smart. If we really refuse her like this, she will definitely find out something is wrong. What if she finds out that there is something wrong with our Fengxian Pawnshop?"
Xie Jing Xing smiled faintly: "It's because she is smart that we don't have to deal with it."
"You mean..." Gao Yang frowned.
"She noticed something was wrong and came here to test it out." Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Those words weren't said to you, they were said to me."
"That phrase 'unparalleled beauty'?" Ji Yushu's focus was always on something else.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at him coldly and said, "That was also said to me."
In the carriage outside, Jingzhe and Guyu cautiously observed Shen Miao’s expression. Guyu softly said, “Miss, did that Shopkeeper Ji say something wrong….Miss, he looks a little angry.”
She was indeed very angry. Although Shen Miao appeared calm, the coldness of her body was palpable to both girls. She seemed to be sulking, but also seemed to be furious, only to suppress her anger. Jingzhe and Guyu were both completely baffled. They had heard Shen Miao and Ji Yushu talking in the elegant room. Although Ji Yushu's words were unpleasant to the ear, Shen Miao had been fine just now. Besides, Shen Miao wasn't someone who would get angry over a quarrel.
Jingzhe and Guyu were confused, and Shen Miao replied calmly, “Nothing.” But her tone became even colder.
She clenched her fingers slightly in her sleeves, but an uncontrollable sense of suffocation welled up in her heart. Hadn't the Fengxian Pawnshop closed down after she left, only to reopen shortly before her return to the capital? How could such a coincidence exist? All coincidences in the world have traces to follow. Shen Miao thought carefully. When the Fengxian Pawnshop closed, besides Shen Xin's trip to Xiaochun City, another major event occurred: Xie Jingxing's request for the general to dispatch troops. As for the Fengxian Pawnshop's reopening... besides her return to the capital, wasn't it also the time when Mingqi was paying tribute, and when Crown Prince Qin and Prince Rui arrived in Dingjing?
The Shen family had no connection to the Fengxian Pawnshop, so naturally, it couldn't be related to the Shen family. Huangfu Hao hadn't been in Dingjing City two years ago. After all the calculations, both the closing and the reopening of the shop were indelibly linked to Xie Jingxing. She came to the Fengxian Pawnshop today just to test it.
The results of her probing were exactly as she had expected. Ji Yushu and Xie Jingxing were probably old acquaintances, as was Gao Yang. Putting everything together, it was likely that Ji Yushu and Gao Yang were both from Daliang, hiding their identities and staying in Dingjing City. The abomination was that when she was doing business with Ji Yushu, she had revealed everything about Prince Yu's mansion, and Xie Jingxing must have known everything already. She thought she had the upper hand and had Ji Yushu completely under her thumb, but Xie Jingxing had been lurking behind the scenes. The thought of Xie Jingxing playing her like a fool made Shen Miao want to tear Xie Jingxing apart.
Feeling suffocated, Jingzhe saw this and thought she was feeling too hot, so he lifted the curtain to get some fresh air, but quickly put it down again. Shen Miao glanced casually and unexpectedly saw a familiar face among the crowd on the street.
Jingzhe lowered the curtain, but was stopped by Shen Miao, who ordered the carriage to stop. She pulled back the curtain and looked at the place she had just been in, but the face she had just seen was no longer in the crowd.
"Young lady?" Jingzhe and Guyu were frightened by Shen Miao's sudden and unexpected behavior today. However, Shen Miao looked carefully outside the carriage for a while before lowering the curtain and saying, "Nothing, let's continue."
But his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was even more serious than before.
