Chapter 893 Aristocratic Family (4)
His low, smiling, complaining voice came from my ear: "If you keep going like this, I will soon have no secrets from you."
A secret? Shen Miao's heart moved. Did she say something right?
"Do you have any secrets from me?" she asked deliberately.
"Don't you have a secret from me too?" Xie Jingxing said.
She paused, Xie Jingxing loosened his hand, stared into her eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, but his eyes were locked on her so tightly that she felt a little breathless.
He said, "How about a trade? My secret for yours?"
Shen Miao's heart was shaken, but she reacted very quickly, turned her head away to cover up, and said, "I don't want to know your secret."
Xie Jing Xing said "Oh" and smiled: "Anyway, you have the ability to find it yourself, right?"
Shen Miao turned around and looked at him without saying a word.
Xie Jing Xing said lazily: "My secret, you have the ability to find out for yourself. Your secret... do you think I know it?"
Shen Miao became a little flustered for a moment.
She had a secret, a secret from her past life, but she didn't have the courage to tell anyone, not even to Chen Qiu, Chen Xin, or Luo Xueyan. She remained silent and didn't dare to reveal a single detail.
Not to mention whether people would think she was crazy if she told others about these weird things, she was just afraid that no one would believe her, and even more afraid that people would look at her strangely.
Too stupid and too cowardly, she killed her own children and family, would they blame her? Shen Miao didn't dare to try.
So if Xie Jingxing knew that she had been married and had become Fu Xiuyi's wife, and had contributed to Fu Xiuyi's great cause, how would he view her?
Shen Miao had once thought that she didn't care what others thought of her. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little scared. She didn't want Xie Jingxing to look at her as if she were an enemy.
Xie Jingxing saw her strange expression clearly. His gaze deepened, but he sighed softly and held her in his arms again.
"I don't like to push things. If you don't want people to know, I won't ask," he said.
"But don't make me wait too long."
…
After returning to Prince Rui's mansion, Xie Jingxing quickly went out again. He always had a lot of things to do, so Shen Miao didn't ask any further questions. She didn't even understand the overall situation of Daliang yet. Xie Jingxing's explanation of the Lu and Ye families in the carriage made her realize that Daliang and Mingqi were essentially no different. While on the surface, the country appeared prosperous and peaceful, the undercurrents beneath the peace were likely numerous. In fact, precisely because Daliang was a larger country, the ambitions of its people were also greater.
After all, Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing's attitudes towards their father were also very strange. It seemed that there was a lot of connection between them. Shen Miao recalled that when she first met Xie Jingxing in Mingqi, Xie Jingxing seemed to be searching for something many times. When he was at the General's Mansion, he even happened to see her start a huge fire in the ancestral hall. In the secret room of Prince Yu's Mansion, Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang also seemed to have taken something.
But what exactly is that thing?
Shen Miao originally thought it was a military defense map or something like that, but she thought that a military defense map probably wouldn't be placed in the secret rooms of the General's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion. As for what it was, she didn't know at the moment.
As I was thinking, another thing came to my mind.
Pei Lang had followed Xie Jingxing's troops all the way to Daliang, primarily to avoid Fu Xiuyi's pursuit. He had also brought Liuying with him, and while Liuying was easily accommodated, Pei Lang, despite appearing humble, was actually quite arrogant. Initially, he had only done things for Liuying, but after Fu Xiuyi's suspicions surfaced, he risked his life to protect her. This left Shen Miao with no other reason to ask Pei Lang to do anything for her.
