Chapter 955 Meeting (6)
“They owe me two lives that cannot be taken back.” Shen Miao said, “Even if I kill them ten thousand times, it won’t be enough to compensate them!”
Pei Lang was startled by the obvious fierceness in Shen Miao's eyes. He said, "I can help you."
Shen Miao stared at him: “Why should I trust you?”
These words surprised Pei Lang. A few days ago, he had clearly felt that Shen Miao's attitude towards him had softened, as if she had let go of some things. He had always felt that their relationship might not be as tense as before. But today, Shen Miao was like a hedgehog with its spines erected, spiky and defensive. Her attitude towards him had returned to its previous state, even more distant than before.
As if they were enemies.
Pei Lang knew this must be related to the siblings. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "I heard they were from Daliang. You've probably never been to Daliang before, and you've never met them. How could you have such a deep hatred for them?"
"Mr. Pei," Shen Miao interrupted him, "I have already made everything clear to you. You know exactly what my attitude is towards this brother and sister. I don't expect Mr. Pei to offer me advice, but please don't interfere, and don't tell anyone else about this matter."
Pei Lang suddenly felt a surge of awkward anger. He, too, had a proud character and had originally wished for a life of leisure and tranquility, but Chen Miao, using fireflies, had instigated him into the imperial court, becoming Fu Xiuyi's subordinate. Then, inexplicably, he became a spy and fled to a foreign country. His sincerity was misinterpreted as malicious speculation, and he felt the urge to turn around and leave. But when he saw Chen Miao's cold eyes, he found himself unable to vent his anger.
It seemed that as soon as I saw her, I would be overwhelmed by inexplicable guilt.
He paused and said, "You don't trust me."
Shen Miao said coldly: “I don’t trust anyone.”
Pei Lang left, and Shen Miao sat back at the table. She felt as if she had used up all her strength and was completely exhausted.
Li Mei and Li Ke lived in Prince Rui's mansion in such an identity. She couldn't kill them, so she had no choice but to trap them in this prince's mansion first. She had to avenge her great hatred, otherwise, she would not be worthy of being the mother of two children.
Just as she was thinking about it, Jingzhe pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Shen Miao, “Madam, His Highness has just woken up and wants to see you.”
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, a complicated expression on her face, and after a moment she said, “I understand.”
Shen Miao speculated about the possible relationships between the Daliang royal family, Xie Jingxing, and Madam Mei's siblings. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became. If those terrifying speculations were all true, Shen Miao didn't know how to react.
Madam Mei's appearance disrupted her plans and mood, and she even found it difficult to face Xie Jingxing. She was afraid that others would see the resentment in her heart, and she was also afraid that Xie Jingxing would confirm her terrible suspicions.
The bedroom was filled with the strong aroma of medicine. The servants coming and going were all busy with their own tasks. Xie Jingxing had woken up, and there were more things worth paying attention to. His condition needed to be carefully cared for. Gao Yang was just coming out with a medicine box. Seeing Shen Miao, he was also surprised. He said, "He just woke up. He woke up once this morning and asked about you. His wound hasn't healed yet. Just go along with him."
Shen Miao agreed and pushed the door open.
Xie Jingxing, wearing only his undergarment and outer garment, half-leaned on the couch, reading. Perhaps it was because of his injury, but he looked thinner these days, his features more defined. In his quiet moments, he resembled a young nobleman, flipping through a book with pride and elegance, one wouldn't be able to tell he'd walked the fine line between life and death just a few days before.
Shen Miao wanted to go in, but when she took a step, she hesitated, as if taking this step would mean facing a question she dared not face. She was afraid of the answer and instinctively wanted to avoid this question.
However, there is no problem in life that can be avoided forever.
Without raising his eyes, Xie Jing Xing said calmly, "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
Shen Miao paused, clenched her fists, and slowly walked in. When she was near the couch, she sat down and said, "Are you okay? I heard from Uncle Tang that you've woken up, so I thought you needed to rest, so I didn't disturb you."
Xie Jingxing probably hadn't fully recovered yet, and his voice was still hoarse. But he suddenly curled his lips into a smile, and in an indistinct tone, he said, "Interesting."
Shen Miao looked at him, his eyes still on the book, and his voice was a little cold.
"You don't dare look at me?"
"How could that be?" Shen Miao smiled, "Maybe you're sick and confused."
Xie Jingxing also smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He closed the book with a "snap" sound, threw the book in his hand aside, turned around, and looked at Shen Miao for the first time since Shen Miao came in.
His eyes were sharp, yet tinged with a hint of anger. He asked, “Shen Miao, if I don’t let anyone call you, will you not come at all?”
