Chapter 835 Wedding Dress (6)
"This is my first time entering through the main entrance." Xie Jingxing said with a smile. He sat down at the table, looked at her and said, "It feels good to come in through the main entrance."
Shen Miao mocked: "Are you complaining that you were not given a legitimate status in the past and that your status is not right?"
"Smart." Xie Jingxing drank his tea.
“You came here on your own, no one invited you.” Shen Miao gritted her teeth.
Xie Jingxing looked at her with a smile: "Madam is very good to me, and my cousin is also good."
Shen Miao rolled her eyes in her heart. That was because they had never seen Xie Jingxing’s brutal side. If they had, they wouldn’t be so kind to him.
She asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I have helped you find out what you asked me to look into last time." Xie Jingxing said.
"What are you looking for?" Shen Miao had been so busy these days that she had forgotten what she had asked Xie Jingxing to help her look into. She asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Xie Jingxing's eyes flashed: "News about Pei Lang."
Shen Miao suddenly realized something. Thinking back to the fact that there had been no news from Pei Lang for a while, she became genuinely anxious and asked, "What did you find out? Did something happen to him?"
"Are you worried about him?" Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
“He’s the one who does the work for me.” Shen Miao frowned.
"Okay." Xie Jingxing shrugged. "He's not doing well right now. Fu Xiuyi seems to have discovered his identity and locked him up in the dungeon of Prince Ding's mansion, torturing him to force him to tell the truth."
Shen Miaoxin tightened slightly and asked, "Is he still alive?"
“Fu Xiuyi won’t let him die so easily if he doesn’t get the answer he wants.” Xie Jingxing said, then stared at Shen Miao again and said, “You don’t seem to be worried at all that he will betray you?”
“He won’t,” Shen Miao replied.
Xie Jingxing frowned slightly.
Shen Miao thought, although Pei Lang was sometimes too rational, even to the point of being unkind, when it came to loyalty, he was impeccable. In his previous life, he had worked for Fu Xiuyi and had always been loyal to him. Pei Lang was incredibly talented, and later, Prince Zhou and his men had tried to pull him away from Fu Xiuyi. At that time, Prince Zhou and his men had the upper hand and could offer Pei Lang more than Fu Xiuyi, but Pei Lang never wavered.
Pei Lang was a man of deep principles, principles that transcended everything else. For example, in his previous life, he had assisted Fu Xiuyi, so he devoted all his energy to helping Fu Xiuyi secure her position, utilizing every person around her who could be used, including herself. Although Shen Miao later knelt down to beg Pei Lang for help because of Fu Ming and Wanyu, Pei Lang remained unmoved, even watching the Shen family fall, perhaps even playing a role in it. But Shen Miao never doubted Pei Lang's loyalty.
Speaking of which, Fu Xiuyi was impatient to deal with her, and after they got married, he was mostly indifferent to Shen Miao. Aside from the occasional caring greetings and expressing his responsibilities as a husband, Shen Miao spent most of her time alone in Prince Ding's mansion. Shen Miao wanted to please Fu Xiuyi, and knowing that Fu Xiuyi valued Pei Lang the most, she sought advice from Pei Lang, hoping to impress him.
Pei Lang did teach her patiently and never lost his patience. Shen Miao's understanding of Ming Qi's structure, apart from what she occasionally heard from Fu Xiuyi, came mostly from Pei Lang's guidance.
Pei Lang was her teacher at Guangwen Hall, and to be honest, he was also her teacher at Prince Ding's Mansion.
Therefore, Shen Miao would not suspect that Pei Lang would betray her.
"Fu Xiuyi has many methods," Shen Miao showed a rare hint of anxiety, "especially towards those who betrayed him. Once he discovers such a person, he will never trust them and will eventually eliminate them personally. Since Pei Lang has been discovered by him, Fu Xiuyi may spare his life in order to get the answer, but that doesn't mean he won't do other things. If he makes him lose all limbs..." Shen Miao shuddered.
Shen Miao had witnessed firsthand how Fu Xiuyi treated those who betrayed him. She had also witnessed firsthand what a dungeon was like.
From that time on, besides admiration for Fu Xiuyi, there was also a hint of fear and trepidation.
After all, being tolerant and gentle in front of others, but cruel and ruthless behind their backs, it is hard not to feel a chill in the face of such a person.
Xie Jingxing's eyes were sharp: "How do you know how he treats those who betrayed him?"
If it were in the past, Shen Miao would have been able to hear something wrong in Xie Jingxing's words, but at the moment, her mind was not here, so she could not care about it. After thinking for a while, she looked at Xie Jingxing and said, "Do you have a way to rescue him?"
Xie Jingxing took back his tea-drinking hand and said, "Reason."
Shen Miao looked at him, his gaze was sharp and showed no sign of retreat, making people shrink inwardly.
"Because there's no reason to sit idly by."
