Chapter 822: Protecting Shortcomings (5)
"You don't like Mingqi, you don't like Dingjing. But that's the place where you were raised after all. The grace of giving birth is greater than the grace of raising. You enjoy everything Mingqi has given you, but you turn around and cut off the source of your wealth to become the wise king of Daliang. Daliang is a rich and powerful country with a strong army and powerful horses. You abandoned everything in Mingqi for glory and wealth. Xie Jingxing, you are heartless and ungrateful, you are a villain! You are not worthy of being a minister, not worthy of being a legitimate son, and even less worthy of being a brother! Go back to your Daliang!"
"Enough!" Shen Miao stood up suddenly and interrupted Su Mingfeng.
Su Mingfeng's words were too hurtful.
She turned to look at Xie Jingxing. Without the mask on his face, Xie Jingxing's expression was clearly visible. He wasn't angry, nor was he smiling. He simply looked at Su Mingfeng calmly with a calm expression. It was as if the person Su Mingfeng was talking about wasn't him, and it was as if... he didn't care at all about what Su Mingfeng said.
Suddenly, there were some waves in Shen Miao's heart.
She looked at Su Mingfeng with a mocking smile on her face, and said, "Oh? Young Master Su seems to be very righteous, and he can't wait to come here to uphold justice. Unfortunately, the so-called others you call are ungrateful. In my opinion, you are the same."
Xie Jingxing was stunned.
Su Mingfeng was also angry at Shen Miao and asked, “What did you say?”
"They said you were an ungrateful person." In her previous life, when Shen Miao was fighting with Madam Mei in the harem, there was naturally no shortage of verbal battles every day. While she wasn't the best at mocking people, she did learn quite a bit from Madam Mei.
She smiled faintly, appearing dignified and steady, the more so, the more she highlighted Su Mingfeng's rudeness. Her voice was also soft and gentle, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, but every word she said was merciless.
"Before you accuse others, it's best to look at yourself first. Young Master Su thinks Prince Rui is an ungrateful person and is using you. I would also like to ask you, how much has Xie Jingxing helped you since you were a child in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion?"
"From the moment you entered the officialdom, you didn't know how to socialize. It was Xie Jingxing who paid for you. When you wanted to learn martial arts, Xie Jingxing hired a martial arts master for you. When the Emperor wanted to suppress the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion, it was he who reminded you and persuaded the Pingnan Marquis to retreat. If it weren't for this, do you think there would still be a Pingnan Marquis' Mansion in Mingqi Dingjing today? I'm afraid the grass on his grave would be ten feet high."
"You said Xie Jingxing was using you and had other motives in his friendship with you? Throughout Dingjing City, everyone who mentions you, Su Mingfeng, knows that you're Xie Jingxing's childhood friend. Growing up, you've been frail, yet no one dared to bully you. Who do you think you relied on? Was it the prestige of the Pingnan Marquis's residence, or was it that you have a childhood sweetheart whom no one in Dingjing dared to mess with? Things in this world are just that simple. Young Master Su, please don't think I'm being harsh. From childhood to adulthood, how many roads has Xie Jingxing paved for you? How many times has he helped your Su family? If this is what they call exploitation, then I also hope someone can exploit me. Young Master Su, don't you agree?"
She smiled brightly, but her words were like raindrops hitting banana leaves, dripping with chill. "You took advantage of others, then turned around and took their backs, constantly accusing them of wrongdoing. What else could you say if not ungrateful? Young Master Su, can I also say that you are heartless and unrighteous, unworthy of being a brother? You enjoy everything given to you by the people you accuse with a clear conscience. Don't you feel guilty?"
Su Mingfeng wasn't one to engage in verbal battles with women, and what was more, every word of Shen Miao's words was filled with sarcasm, yet it was genuine, making his face flush purple. In his extreme anger, as Shen Miao spoke, the images of the scrolls from back then surfaced in his mind.
