Chapter 749: Exposed (4)
Shen Miao's heart was hanging heavy, the special meaning in Princess Rong Xin's words was too strong.
Princess Rongxin picked up a small mirror from the shelf and said, "It's not that he and Marquis Lin'an don't look like father and son, nor does he look much like Yuqing. Marquis Lin'an is a rough guy, but he's a bit indecisive and can't figure things out, otherwise he wouldn't have been schemed by a bitch like Fang. Yuqing is just a fool, throwing herself at men, and in the end, she was secretly heartbroken and even lost her life, causing her child to suffer in vain. Jingxing, on the other hand, has a different personality from either of them."
"Jingxing may appear mischievous, but he's actually very decisive. He once obtained a precious sword that suited him perfectly, and his friend valued it highly. His friend didn't mention it, but Jingxing saw it and later claimed he had his eye on his friend's mirror, trading it for his own sword."
"I asked him why he lied when he clearly didn't like the mirror. He told me that it was because he didn't like the sword either."
"It seems like he knew exactly what he wanted and didn't want from a very young age. He wouldn't even glance at anything he didn't want, and he would grab hold of the things he wanted from the very beginning. He always smiled and was popular with girls, but he didn't show any special feelings to any of them. In fact, he was more indifferent than anyone else."
Princess Rong Xin stared at Shen Miao. For a moment, Shen Miao felt that Princess Rong Xin and Xie Jing Xing were somewhat similar in some ways, especially when they stared at people with sharp eyes, as if they wanted to see through their souls. That kind of oppressive feeling reappeared from this royal princess who was no longer young.
She said, "I thought that in his eyes, Marquis Lin'an might just be something he didn't need, so from the beginning, he never had any affection for him. I always thought that I was the one he wanted to hold on to tightly, but now it seems that I was wrong. I am also someone he doesn't need, right?"
That question of “right?” was directed at Shen Miao.
Jingzhe and Guyu had already been pulled out by Aunt Yang, Princess Rongxin's personal maid, and there was no one else in the room. Shen Miao listened quietly and said, "The young marquis holds the princess in his heart."
"Chen Miao, I know you are incredibly intelligent and adept at reading people's minds. So, there's no need to try to coax me." Princess Rong Xin sneered, "If he truly cared about me, how could he have deceived me with the news of his death? How could he have watched me sleepless and in agony the entire day after hearing the news of his death? You had clearly arranged everything from the beginning, yet you deceived my trust and sincerity. You were right in front of me, yet you refused to acknowledge me, using these lame excuses to get by. Shen Miao, tell me, does this mean you care about me?"
When he said the last sentence, his tone suddenly became sharp, almost an angry question.
Shen Miao's heart sank, and she finally knew.
But she still couldn't admit it.
There are many things that cannot be said even though the outcome is known. Even if the evidence is irrefutable, it cannot be said. Princess Rongxin is a princess of Mingqi, and Xie Jingxing is the Rui Wang of Daliang. Once this news is confirmed and spoken by her, what changes will it bring to the situation, and how much trouble it will bring to Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao cannot be sure. She cannot admit it so rashly.
Even though Princess Rongxin had already made up her mind.
She said, "I don't understand what the princess is talking about."
Princess Rongxin looked at her with disdain. Her previous kindness and gentleness were gone, replaced by the condescending attitude of a superior looking down on an inferior, one that could easily crush an ant. That was the most common expression of the Fu family, and once upon a time, Shen Miao could see it every day. Suddenly, a wave of disgust welled up in her heart. It wasn't disgust towards Princess Rongxin, but perhaps disgust at the Fu family blood that flowed through her bones, which made them share some similarities in certain aspects. Princess Rongxin asked, "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the royal family is?"
