Chapter 949 Madam Mei (6)
Shen Miao's heart moved, and she couldn't help but feel her heart suddenly tightened into a ball. That clear and low voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. However, her soul trembled at this moment. She lowered her head to look at her hands. Her sleeves were very long, only revealing her fingertips. However, those white and tender fingertips, which had a few bloodstains due to being busy all night last night, were trembling violently at this moment.
The next moment, Ji Yushu's voice rang out: "Don't say that. When my third brother wakes up, I will definitely ask you two to compete. Third brother likes smart people the most. If you go, he will definitely appreciate you."
The curtain of the main hall was lifted, and two people walked out. Ji Yushu was walking in front, and when he suddenly saw Shen Miao, he was stunned. Then, regardless of the presence of the other ladies, he took two steps at a time and walked forward, asking, "Sister-in-law!" He then whispered, "You're back! You haven't been here these days, and I asked Tieyi but he refused to tell me. Where have you been?"
Shen Miao did not answer him, her eyes fixed on the person who was following Ji Yushu closely behind.
He was a young man, probably in his early twenties, with very plain facial features, so plain that one could not see any special features. However, he inexplicably attracted attention, simply because he exuded the aura of an "intelligent man". He wore a rosin-colored robe and green cloth boots, and his eyes were like the summer sun, warm and slightly drunk, but with a faint fanaticism.
Shen Miao's body tilted and she nearly fell down. Luo Tan quickly supported her waist from behind, thinking that she was too tired from the night before and could not hold on any longer.
When Madam Ji saw her looking at the young man, she said, "This is Master Li, one of the benefactors who saved Jingxing."
The young man saluted Shen Miao and said with a smile: “I am…”
"Li Ke!"
Shen Miao cried out in her heart a thousand times. She would never forget this name, and she would never forget these seemingly passionate and innocent eyes! This man who had grown into Fu Xiuyi's right-hand man in just a few years, a minister who could almost rival Pei Lang, this Madam Mei's biological brother, Li Ke!
She never thought that after that long life, she would be able to meet the man in front of her again in this life, but in this strange land, in her mansion, in front of a room full of people, Li Ke appeared in front of her so openly.
Her face suddenly turned pale. On one hand, her mind reminded her not to do anything strange in front of these ladies, but on the other hand, she stared at Li Ke fiercely, wishing she could rush up and tear this man into pieces, drink his blood and eat his flesh!
Madam Mei's brothers—the tragic end of her previous life was the result of her defeat by this sibling pair. Madam Mei won Fu Xiuyi's heart, and Li Ke rose to prominence. Li Ke served Fu Xiuyi at his beck and call, and Madam Mei, with the added benefit of shelter, gained even greater favor. The siblings relied on each other for advancement. Madam Mei sought to marry off Wanyu, while Li Ke sought to depose the crown prince. Madam Mei had the entire Shen family's first branch executed, but Li Ke developed a close friendship with Shen Gui and Shen Wan of the second and third branches.
This bad fate, there is no way to escape it in this life or the past! But Shen Miao never expected that it would happen here, by the man who considered himself Xie Jingxing’s benefactor!
She suddenly remembered what Uncle Tang said, "They are a pair of siblings."
Shen Miao's fierce gaze made Madam Ji dazed for a moment. She asked, "Jiao Niang..."
“Aren’t there two benefactors?” Shen Miao smiled slightly and slowly looked away. There was a cunningness in her tone that even she herself didn’t notice. She asked, “Where is the other one?”
"The maid poured tea on her just now, so I asked her to change her clothes. Jiao Niang has a lot of clothes, but there are no other women's clothes in this mansion. It would be inappropriate to take the maid's clothes, so I took Jiao Niang's clothes to make do." Mrs. Ji said.
As he was speaking, he saw Ji Yushu looking outside the door and said, "Here I come."
The woman had a face like a lotus, a waist like a willow, and a look that rivaled that of a fairy. She approached slowly, dressed in a thin, light-weight blouse. The midday sun, streaming in as she parted the curtain, only accentuated the girl's unrivaled beauty. Her light, gentle smile was dazzling, a radiance that seemed to have crossed a lifetime, a glimpse into the beauty Shen Miao had witnessed before her death.
Shen Miao stood in the room, his clothes disheveled and in disarray, his face pale, staring at the woman like a hungry wolf, a ferocious tiger, or a venomous snake lurking in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The man wore her clothes, came to her house, saved her husband, and appeared before her in a triumphant manner.
The mortal enemy in the previous life, the mortal enemy in this life, the evil fate is endless and difficult to sort out, and he is once again pushed to the brink of fate.
"Mei Niang greets the Princess." said the woman.
Mei Niang?
No, you are not Mei Niang, you are... the beloved daughter of Emperor Mingqi, Fu Xiuyi, and the mother of the new Crown Prince, Fu Ming.
She is also my sworn enemy, Madam Mei.
