Chapter 505: I Will Help You (6)
“No problem,” Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “Let’s go back to the mansion first.”
"I helped Miss Shen, but she didn't even say thank you. That's too cruel." Prince Rui crossed his arms and spoke slowly, which surprised Jingzhe and the others.
Shen Miao looked at him coldly and said, "Did Prince Rui have a good time today?"
“That depends on whether you are happy or not.” He laughed. Even through the mask, Shen Miao could imagine the bad expression of the man in front of her at the moment.
"You were the one who caused Princess Ming'an to fall into the water, weren't you?" She leaned close to Xie Jingxing and whispered, "Why did you do that?"
Xie Jingxing looked down at her. She was petite, so he had to bend down slightly to whisper to her. When their eyes were level, it seemed a little too close, almost ambiguous. His voice was low and pleasant, with a hint of teasing: "Who the hell is she? How could she bully you?" After a pause, Xie Jingxing stared at Shen Miao and said: "Am I not yours? It's reasonable for me to help you."
Shen Miao suddenly took a step back, distanced herself from him, and said indifferently, "Thank you very much."
"Thank you is not something that can be simply said," Xie Jingxing raised his lip, "I need to think about it carefully."
Shen Miao was too lazy to talk to him and got on the carriage without saying a word. Mo Qing was worried that Shen Miao had caught a cold, so he also rushed to the Shen residence without stopping, and soon disappeared in this alley.
Looking into the distance where the carriage could no longer be seen, a tall man suddenly appeared behind Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing's eyes turned cold and he said, "Let's check if Huangfu Hao has ever been to Dingjing City before."
The man bowed his head and left. Xie Jingxing turned around and glanced at the gate of the Prince of Qin's residence again. He curled his lips, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
…
On the way back to the mansion, Jingzhe and Guyu were afraid to speak. Neither of them had expected Shen Miao to be so harassed today. This Princess Ming'an was truly too bold, even in broad daylight, she dared to push someone into the water. Jingzhe's eyes were red. In the crisis at that time, she had not considered the other party's identity. Now thinking about it, that person was a princess of Qin after all, and she was just a lowly slave. If she really wanted to do anything to her, Jingzhe would be helpless. Now she remembered her fear.
Shen Miao was calm. She had long known that Princess Ming An had ill intentions, but because of the greater good, even if no one came today, Princess Ming An would have someone fish her out of the water when the time came, and would not actually take her life. However, she did not expect that a demon spirit would suddenly appear and push Princess Ming An into the water as well.
This was naturally Xie Jingxing's action. Xie Jingxing was lawless and disregarded, plotting against Princess Ming'an right in front of Huangfu Hao. I'm afraid Huangfu Hao would realize his mistake when he thought about it later. After all, Princess Ming'an fell right into the middle of the pond, how could she have done that without martial arts skills? And the only outsider present with martial arts skills was Xie Jingxing. Unsure whether it was Xie Jingxing's doing, one would inevitably harbor suspicions.
But... Shen Miao's eyes flickered slightly. Xie Jingxing's move had made Princess Ming'an so embarrassed. It was truly refreshing. If Xie Jingxing hadn't been there today, she would have been right but also suffered. Now, she was still right and still suffered, but seeing Princess Ming'an being humiliated, she felt that the suffering was worth it.
Jingzhe and Guyu were looking at Shen Miao with some worry, but they saw that Shen Miao didn't know what she was thinking about, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, as if she was a little happy. The two looked at each other, both a little confused. They didn't understand why Shen Miao was so happy after being pushed into the water today.
When they returned to the Chen residence, because Shen Miao was soaking wet, they had no choice but to sneak in through the back door. Jingzhe quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Shen Miao's hair and changed her into clean clothes. Guyu went to order the kitchen to make ginger tea. Shen Miao sat for a while and asked, "Why don't I see Bailu and Shuangjiang?"
Before she left, she had asked Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang to wait for news in the mansion, but now there was no one there. As she was speaking, she saw Bai Lu coming back from outside. Seeing Shen Miao, she said in surprise, "The young lady is finally back. Just now, the lady asked this servant where the young lady had gone and why she hadn't come back yet."
"What's the matter, mother?" Shen Miao finally dried her hair and asked after hearing the words.
"I heard that the daughter of one of the old general's benefactors came to visit. Madam is chatting with that young lady outside and wants you to go and see her too."
Shen Miao paused holding the handkerchief, her eyes suddenly sharp: "What's that person's name?"
Bai Lu was stunned, feeling that Shen Miao's eyes were a little cold, and subconsciously answered: "I heard that his surname is Chang."
