Chapter 882 New House (5)
"Why are you still calling me Miss?" Guyu said, "You should call me Madam."
"Yes, yes, you should call me Madam." Jingzhe quickly corrected himself and added, "No wonder everyone says Daliang is great. After seeing it today, I can see that it really lives up to its reputation. Not only Madam, but even I like it here."
"Oh?" Shen Miao teased her, "Are you not living well in Dingjing? Why do you like it here more?"
Jingzhe thought for a moment and said, "It's not that it's bad, I just feel that the people here treat Madam better. Madam came to Longye as a princess, which is a good start. I always feel that things will get better and better in the future."
Shen Miao laughed. During the Ming Qi period, the second and third wives in the Shen Mansion harbored evil intentions, and Old Madam Shen had no good intentions towards the first wife. Her situation, and that of the Shen family, was precarious. From the maids' perspective, her life was actually quite difficult. Add to that the rumors of her being a fool, and she began to feel resentful.
It was different in Longye. She had married here with the title of Princess Rui in mind. Xie Jingxing's attitude towards her also made those around her dare not disrespect her. A good start always makes people happy. People subconsciously choose to forget and abandon the bad things in the past and choose a new beginning.
But...will it really get better? Shen Miao didn't think so. Regardless of what was happening in Mingqi, Xie Jingxing's plan wasn't going to be simple. The crisis in Daliang wasn't necessarily any less than in Mingqi. It was probably even more dangerous and complicated.
It's difficult to get off the tiger's back. It's a dangerous place. Now we have no choice but to go ahead and take on the challenge.
However, her heart felt lighter than it had been in a long time.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jingzhe and Guyu say, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Shen Miao raised her eyes and saw Xie Jingxing walking in. Xie Jingxing said, "Go down." Jingzhe and Guyu quickly retreated.
He walked to the table and sat down, waiting for Shen Miao to comb her hair while asking, “How are you getting used to it?”
“No problem.” Shen Miao said, “Longye is indeed worthy of its reputation.”
Xie Jingxing poured himself some tea and said, "But you have to cheer up."
Shen Miao was suspicious: "What happened to you again?"
"My brother the Emperor has issued an order to summon you and me to the palace tomorrow." He said, "My brother the Emperor is a strict and stern man. He is very dissatisfied with my marriage and will probably threaten you."
Shen Miao glanced at him and said, "Oh, I'm very dissatisfied with you getting married. You really did things behind his back, and even lied to my parents that he had already agreed."
Xie Jingxing smiled: "It's just a temporary measure. Besides, even if he is dissatisfied with you, so what? There are many people in the world who are dissatisfied with you. Ming Qi is like a swarm of crucian carp crossing the river. Didn't you just send them—" He made a beheading gesture and said lazily: "Send them on their way?"
Shen Miao also laughed and said, "Are you hinting at something?"
"That's not the case." Xie Jingxing said, "Our Xie family is different from the Fu family. We would never do something like killing our brothers."
Shen Miao said: “I didn’t realize that you were still people with feelings and righteousness.”
"Don't believe it?" Xie Jingxing asked.
Shen Miao shook her head: "The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times. The intimacy between you now is only because you have no conflicts of interest, or you are just on the same side. When the day comes that your positions are different, or you want to snatch something, you will still fight to protect your share. By then, there will be no such thing as brothers." Although she tried her best to speak calmly, a hint of disgust could not help but reveal itself in her words.
Xie Jingxing stared at her sharply for a long while. Shen Miao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
