Chapter 691 Suspicion (6)
Hearing Su Minglang say this, the couple was half relieved and half perplexed. They were relieved that Su Mingfeng was still a normal man, and that he liked women. They were perplexed because of which girl Su Mingfeng had chosen, and why not Chen Xin's daughter? Chen Xin held great power, and if they were married to Shen Xin, if Emperor Wenhui was going to deal with Chen Xin one day, the Su family would be in trouble too. Was it possible that after hiding their shortcomings and finally getting out of one pit of fire, they would have to jump into another?
Thinking about this, she felt a headache. Mrs. Su was considerate and said, "Don't worry. Minglang isn't being clear. If Mingfeng really likes Miss Shen, he'll definitely show it. Jinfeng, go get all the servants from the eldest young master's yard. I have something to ask them."
In the room, Su Mingfeng paced back and forth.
He was not mistaken. Even if it was only a short time, it was enough for him to see and feel it clearly. The jade ring on Shen Miao's wrist was clearly a tiger head ring.
There were two tiger head rings in total, one in the hands of Princess Rong Xin of the Princess Mansion, and the other appeared on Shen Miao's wrist. Su Mingfeng had always thought that the second one would not appear because Xie Jingxing was dead.
Xie Jingxing is the only one in the world who can make a tiger head ring.
Back then, Su Mingfeng and Xie Jingxing were still young, languid teenagers, constantly roaming the streets of Zhangtai. One day, Su Mingfeng saw Xie Jingxing polishing something that looked like a bracelet and laughed at him. Deep down, Su Mingfeng was curious. Knowing Xie Jingxing, Su Mingfeng knew that despite his handsome appearance and a playful disposition, he had no interest in these fancy ornaments, let alone women's items. Curious, Su Mingfeng inquired, but Xie Jingxing rolled his eyes and simply said it was a hidden weapon.
Later, Su Mingfeng kept pestering Xie Jingxing, so Xie Jingxing showed him that the bracelet was made to look like two bracelets connected together, but it actually contained a hidden weapon, a poisonous needle that could be used for self-defense.
Su Mingfeng found it very interesting and wanted it, but Xie Jingxing scoffed: "This is for women. Who are you wearing the bracelet for?"
Su Mingfeng then gave up his intentions. Later, he saw Xie Jingxing giving the bracelet to Princess Rongxin. Since Princess Yuqing's death, Princess Rongxin had been very fond of Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing had a deep affection for her, so it was understandable that he would give it to Princess Rongxin.
Why is it called a Tiger Head Ring? It's because Xie Jingxing carved a tiger head on it himself. His carving was unsatisfactory, looking as ugly as a dog's. Su Mingfeng laughed at it, but Princess Rongxin loved it. Xie Jingxing was even more interested, saying he wanted to carve another one.
But that jadeite material was so hard to find, and it was never found. It wasn't until two years ago that Su Mingfeng found him a piece from a wealthy merchant. But the jade wasn't as good as before, with faint white marks that were still visible if you looked closely. Before Xie Jingxing left for the expedition, he'd taken that piece of jade, saying he'd make a tiger-head ring when he got bored. Who knew he'd be separated from her forever?
As for the tiger head ring on Shen Miao's hand, there were faint white marks on the jade material in the sunlight. The same mechanism, the same workmanship, and the ugly carving that broke through the sky were exactly the same as Xie Jingxing's.
Xie Jingxing left Beijing two years ago, and Shen Xin went to the northwest two years ago. Shen Xin left first, and Xie Jingxing left later. Xie Jingxing still had the jade material when he left. Could it be that Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing had met in the past two years?
But Xie Jingxing was already dead by then!
Moreover, the carving marks on the bracelet were not very old, as if it had been polished not long ago and was not smooth enough.
Su Mingfeng's heart was pounding. He raised his hand and called over his servants, saying, "Have a few people guard the gate of Shen Xin's mansion and observe the movements of the Fifth Miss of the Shen family. Even if it's bribed by the servants in the Shen mansion, I want to know every move of the Fifth Miss Shen, no matter how big or small."
Su Mingfeng naturally had no idea how much of a shock his words would cause when they reached the ears of Mr. Su and Madam Su.
"Oh my god," Su Yu said, "Ming Feng is truly deeply in love with this woman!"
"I originally thought Mingfeng was the wrong person to do something as reckless as stealing someone's jewelry. I thought Minglang was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true." Madam Su felt a headache and took a sip of tea. "Why was he so reserved before, but now he seems like a completely different person? He even hired someone to spy on him. This isn't the way to pursue a girl. How is he any different from those unremarkable guys out there?"
"Maybe it's a good intention." Su Yu sighed: "This child is like me, long-lasting love."
Madam Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "If Mingfeng isn't allowed to marry her, he'll be heartbroken. We need to send a letter to the Shen Mansion first."
"Why post it?" Su Yu was puzzled.
"What else can I do? Find a wife for your son." Mrs. Su said shockingly.
