Chapter 665 Incident (4)
As Shen Miao spoke, many things flashed before Tian Li's eyes. Chang Zaiqing's disgusted look, the neighbors' pointing fingers at him after he ran away, Huaisheng always sitting alone in the corner, wondering what he was thinking, and the tattered clothes he could only wear... If only one day he could change his life, and give Huaisheng a good life like those wealthy families... Tian Li raised his head suddenly, and in an instant, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Do it! I promise to do everything you say, but you have to give me enough money so that we can leave this place and live comfortably!"
Shen Miao raised her eyebrows. Rumors were sometimes not credible. They said Tian Li was just a scoundrel. She didn't expect it to be so simple today. Tian Li was not difficult to deal with. Perhaps it was because of Huai Sheng. Although this man had no skills and his temperament was not good, he still had a conscience.
"I'll give you the silver." It was Xie Jingxing who spoke. He stood in the shadows, leaning against the door, and said lazily, "Don't have any other ideas, otherwise..."
Tian Li shuddered, quickly lowered his head, and said in panic, "I dare not!" For some reason, facing this man always made him feel an unspeakable fear. Even though it was the masked woman who spoke from the beginning until now, the aura of the purple-clad man was pervasive in the narrow room.
Shen Miao glanced at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing was quite easy to use. If he wanted to intimidate someone, he wouldn't have to say anything harsh. He could just take Xie Jingxing to the other side and shove him over there, and the other party would become intimidated on their own.
When Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao left the house, Huaisheng came over, looked at Shen Miao, and asked timidly: "Can you find mother?"
Shen Miao looked at Huai Sheng, frowned, and said, "Go to bed early." Then she walked out first.
She was indeed walking a little fast, so Xie Jingxing followed her. After leaving the alley in the east of the city, they were on the street outside. Xie Jingxing caught a glimpse of Shen Miao's expression and asked, "Are you sorry for that child?"
“I’m sorry but I have to keep doing it.” Shen Miao said, “I’m also a selfish person.”
"You did the right thing." Xie Jingxing said nonchalantly, "You are not a disciple of the Bodhisattva."
He used what Shen Miao had just said about Tian Li to say to Shen Miao, with some consolation in mind. Shen Miao glanced at him and said, "You are."
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"You accompanied me on my journey late at night and helped me threaten Tian Li to eliminate future troubles. You are a disciple of the Bodhisattva, otherwise why would you be so kind?"
Xie Jing Xing chuckled and said, "You don't seem to appreciate it at all."
Shen Miao slowly raised the corners of her lips. Her relationship with Xie Jingxing had unintentionally changed. Instead of being confrontational, as he was also very intelligent, she was more open and honest. It seemed that many things weren't being done alone, which made things easier. Just like right now, walking side by side on a deserted snowy street, as if taking a stroll, she felt like she was still the same Queen Shen at heart, yet something more had emerged that she hadn't before.
"Do you need my help with Chang Zaiqing's matter?" Xie Jingxing said lazily, "If you ask me, I can consider it."
“Then there’s no need for His Royal Highness Prince Rui to worry about it.” Shen Miao smiled, “It will save you from unnecessary complications.”
"You have another good idea?" Xie Jingxing glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Sometimes I wonder when there will be a problem in the world that even you can't solve. Maybe you will ask me for help."
“Probably nothing like that.” Shen Miao replied.
