Chapter 965 Thoughts (4)
In the end, neither of them convinced the other. It seemed like this was the first time Ye Maocai had encountered such a stubborn opponent like Xie Jingxing. As it was getting late, and Xie Jingxing hadn't expressed a clear attitude, he knew that his trip today was in vain and there was no point in staying any longer. However, he had conveyed his intention, so he took Ye Mei and Ye Ke and said goodbye.
Xie Jingxing instructed Uncle Tang to see the guests off. Just as they were about to leave the main hall, Madam Ye seemed to have thought of something and turned back to ask, "In a few days, it will be His Royal Highness's birthday, right?"
Shen Miao was stunned. She didn't know Xie Jingxing's birthday. The one in Mingqi was definitely not true. As for Daliang, she hadn't heard Xie Jingxing mention it either.
Madam Ye was sharp-eyed, and noticing Shen Miao’s slightly surprised expression, she asked with a smile, “Why does it look like the princess doesn’t know anything?”
Ye Mei and Ye Ke also stopped, and Ye Mei looked towards Shen Miao with a subtle look.
A wife doesn't know her husband's birthday, but instead hears it from someone else. This... is quite strange between husband and wife.
Xie Jingxing sat in the hall drinking tea, seemingly not having heard Madam Ye's words. Shen Miao smiled faintly and said calmly, "Madam Ye, do you still remember Miss Ye and Young Master Ye's birthdays?"
Madam Ye was puzzled: "This..."
Shen Miao didn't give her a chance to speak, and said with a smile: "After missing out on more than ten years, Madam Ye should first think about how to make it up to Miss Ye and Master Ye on their birthdays." The implication was that you should take care of your own affairs before worrying about other people's affairs, and don't be too bored.
This ruthless slap in the face of Madam Ye made her look unhappy, and Ye Maocai seemed a little embarrassed. However, Ye Mei pulled Ye Ke and bowed to Shen Miao again before hurriedly saying goodbye.
Looking at their departing figures, Shen Miao took a deep breath.
The Ye Mei siblings had finally succeeded. Before she could act, the Ye family had successfully protected them. From now on, to suppress Ye Mei and Ye Ke, they would first have to deal with the Ye family, which was much more difficult than simply assassinating a pair of siblings. Especially since the complex interests of the Daliang royal family were involved, making the whole process even more difficult.
It really makes people feel unwilling and unhappy.
She thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and turned back to look at Xie Jingxing. She wondered if she had been angry yesterday, taking her anger out on him because of Wanyu and Fu Ming's relationship. Since he hadn't treated Li Mei and her brother any differently today, he seemed to be acting rationally. Perhaps they should have a serious talk; she had indeed been behaving rather poorly these past few days.
But just as she turned around, she saw Xie Jingxing standing up with an expressionless face and walking past her without even looking at her, looking like a stranger.
Not a word was said.
Shen Miao’s words “I have something to tell you” were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t swallow them for a long time.
Guyu and Jingzhe, who were standing behind them, looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing had been at odds with each other for the past few days. If the master wasn't good, the servants wouldn't be happy either. However, Shen Miao had clearly been trying to reconcile just now. Xie Jingxing's coldness was likely to have hurt his daughter's feelings.
Jingzhe and Guyu had been with Shen Miao for so many years, and especially in the past two years, they had gotten to know her better. She had a strong sense of pride. With Xie Jingxing acting like this, even if Shen Miao wanted to make peace, she wouldn't take the initiative. Jingzhe whispered, "This is terrible. If this continues, how will she live after just getting married?"
Guyu also pondered and said, "We have to think of a way."
Shen Miao returned to her room, feeling increasingly uncomfortable the more she thought about it. Xie Jingxing's attitude, treating her like a stranger, was truly devastating. She herself had been the Queen in Mingqi for many years, and aside from the time when Fu Ming and Wanyu had to curry favor with Fu Xiuyi, she had never yielded to anyone else. She was a strong-willed person, otherwise she wouldn't have fought Madam Mei for so many years.
