Chapter 820: Protecting the Shortcomings (3)
Shen Miao couldn’t hide her surprise.
She really didn't expect Xie Jingxing to so easily take off his mask in front of Su Mingfeng and admit his identity, just like he did in front of Princess Rong Xin.
Even former family, close friends, and confidants may not always be understanding when faced with a sudden change in status. The more precious a relationship is, the less likely it is to be tested lightly. If the result of the test is beyond your ability to bear, it will be a profound and lasting torture for you.
If it was Shen Miao herself, perhaps she wouldn't be so straightforward. After all, she didn't dare, and didn't have the courage to accept an unknown outcome.
In this regard, she was always less decisive than Xie Jingxing. He really knew what he wanted and what he didn't want, and he pushed her so hard that he wouldn't even give her the chance to hesitate.
"How did you become Prince Rui?" Su Mingfeng patted his chest. "Just now I was thinking that if Prince Rui had wanted to kill me, I would have died here today." He said, "Now I'm lucky enough to have saved my life."
There was unstoppable excitement in his tone.
Xie Jing Xing looked at him and said, "I haven't seen you for two years. You're getting dumber and dumber."
Su Mingfeng waved his hand: "I knew you were not dead. You have been a disaster for thousands of years. People like you should live to be eight thousand years old!" He sighed again: "If Princess Rongxin hadn't come to see me that day, and I had seen the tiger head ring on Miss Shen's hand, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark by you. Don't you plan to see me?" He said angrily, with a bit of resentment of not being trusted.
Xie Jingxing shrugged: "Exactly."
Su Mingfeng was furious, but he had often been bullied by Xie Jingxing in the past, so he was not angry at this moment. He just said with some doubt: "It seems that Miss Shen has known your identity for a long time." He chuckled and looked at Shen Miao, saying meaningfully: "I felt something was wrong at the beginning, and now you can be said to have got what you wanted. You hid it very well."
Shen Miao: “…”
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xie Jingxing said impatiently: "Your sister-in-law and I still have something to say."
Shen Miao and Su Mingfeng were both shocked by the word "sister-in-law". Su Mingfeng glanced at Shen Miao and said, "Since you are still alive, why didn't you tell me in the past two years? And it seems that Princess Rong Xin is suspicious of your identity. Why didn't you take the initiative to tell her, and your father..."
"Su Mingfeng," Xie Jingxing interrupted him, "I am the King Rui of Daliang."
The yard became quiet.
Shen Miao sighed softly in her heart, it had to come to this.
Xie Jingxing's identity meant that no one in Dingjing City would stand on his side. No matter who saw Xie Jingxing's true identity, they would always think of him as a "traitor." No matter the truth or the hardship behind it, no one cared. They only cared about the "result" and "deception."
Princess Rongxin loved Xie Jingxing like her own son, but in the end, she was inevitably wary and deceitful. Su Mingfeng was naturally overjoyed to see his old friend reborn, but after that brief joy, the truth would eventually be revealed.
That is when human nature is at its most naked, cruel and painful.
Su Mingfeng looked at Xie Jingxing in confusion and asked, "What are you talking about? Oh, you've become King Rui now. Is this a temporary measure because of something that happened on the Northern Frontier battlefield? The status of King Rui is indeed noble, but it can't last long. You have to..."
"I am King Rui of Daliang." Xie Jingxing said.
The chattering voice stopped abruptly.
