Chapter 585: Angry (2)
Life is indeed full of twists and turns.
Seeing Shen Miao stunned, Xie Jingxing asked again: “Are you going to kill her?”
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said, "She conspired with the two Xie brothers to kidnap me and try to sell me to a brothel. They prepared a life worse than death for me. They also secretly plotted to murder my eldest brother. I am not a saint, and I will not repay evil with kindness. As long as she spared her life, it was already very merciful compared to what she did to me."
“You cruel and ruthless girl.” Xie Jingxing smiled nonchalantly, as if he didn’t find it unbelievable that Shen Miao said she wanted to kill an entire princess. He calmly crossed his arms and looked at Shen Miao, saying, “But why would I do this?”
Shen Miao: “…”
I've always heard that women's personalities become somewhat erratic when they visit Kuishui. Now Shen Miao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that men also visit Kuishui? Otherwise, why was Xie Jingxing so moody today, completely confusing? A few days ago, when Xie Jingxing tried to tie Shen Miao to him, he took the initiative everywhere. Now that he was asked to take the lead, Xie Jingxing became arrogant. Even those veteran officials in the court, who had experienced many ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, did not make people as irritated as the young man in front of him.
She said, "Don't you consider me your ally? Standing up for your allies is only natural." Shen Miao could see that Xie Jingxing was someone who didn't play by the rules. Pei Lang had once taught Fu Xiuyi the art of controlling subordinates. If there were a minister with an eccentric temper, he might be shameless, but you'd be even more shameless. She simply used Xie Jingxing's own words to stop him.
Xie Jing Xing choked, looked at Shen Miao, his eyes moved slightly, and whispered: "That being said, not only did I save you, I also caused a murder case for you, and now I am helping you to assassinate a princess. Allies are mutually beneficial, and you do nothing. It is husband and wife who ask for unconditional help. I think you don't regard me as an ally, but as a husband."
Shen Miao was furious and sneered, "Your Highness Prince Rui is as precious as gold and jade. If he doesn't want to, then forget it. I won't force you. As for Princess Ming'an's matter, I can figure it out myself."
"What do you want to do?" Xie Jingxing asked calmly, "Ask your cousin for help?"
Shen Miao: “What does this have to do with Cousin Ling?”
Xie Jingxing said, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say I wouldn't agree. Since we're allies, it's not a difficult matter. I can just give it a try. But you have to do something for me, too."
Shen Miao glared at him.
"Tsk, I can't remember it for the moment." Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Just make two baskets of cakes for me first. I'm afraid I'll be hungry on the way to the assassination."
Shen Miao: “…”
Shen Miao didn't sit back down on the couch until Xie Jingxing left. She was now completely awake. She didn't know how Xie Jingxing would "assassinate" Princess Ming'an, but she felt surprisingly relieved. She thought Xie Jingxing was incredibly well-connected, even changing his identity to conceal his true identity and daring to swagger around under Emperor Wenhui's nose. As for taking the princess's life, seeing how casually he spoke of it, it should be a piece of cake.
But...Xie Jingxing really seems to be in a bad mood today. Shen Miao thought as she took the cup off the couch. She was so angry that she was a little moody.
…….
After several days of sunshine, the Mingqi capital of Dingjing began to snow again. The ladies, all pampered, were reluctant to go out because of the slippery roads. If they did go out, they would bundle up tightly and hold several hand-warmers to protect themselves from the cold. Wanli Lake was completely frozen over, and even anglers had to carve a hole in the ice to fish. It seemed as if overnight, the trees were covered with glistening icicles. If someone splashed water on their doorstep at night, the next day, it would undoubtedly be covered with a layer of ice, causing them to fall heavily.
