Xie Qin wanted to go up, but Meng Ying stopped her.
"Is this Young Master Xie? It just so happens that the old lady wants you to come with me to the front hall."
Because she was walking too fast, Meng Ying was a little unsteady on her feet.
Xie Qin gently helped her up through the handkerchief, making Meng Ying feel a little uncomfortable.
She prefers to interact with women rather than men.
Because they are both women, she wouldn't feel so awkward around them...
But we still need to be polite.
She gave a slight bow and said, "Thank you."
"Need not."
Seeing that Xie Qin was still worried, Meng Ying couldn't help but urge him a few more times.
"Young Master Xie, would you like to come with me?"
"Um."
Xie Qin withdrew her gaze and looked at Meng Ying in front of her, and couldn't help but ask again, "Did you see anything just now?"
Meng Ying wasn't stupid. Even if she had indeed seen Shen Changji carrying Su Miao away, she would say she hadn't seen it.
She shook her head, a polite smile on her face. "No, what is it? What does Prince Xie want me to see?"
"No, I just lost a sachet and don't know where it went. I was wondering if you'd seen it."
"No, may I ask the servants to help me look for it?"
"No need, let's go. It wouldn't be good to keep the old lady waiting." Xie Qin smoothed things over.
Meng Ying wasn't so tactless as to obediently follow.
Actually, she hadn't gone far at all, because she was really curious about the relationship between Su Miao and Xie Qin, so she deliberately stopped nearby.
Who would have thought... I would witness this scene.
Fortunately, she was here; otherwise, it would have been terrible if Xie Qin had gone up and disturbed Shen Changji and Su Miao...
Right now, all she wants is for Shen Changji and Su Miao to get along well.
She didn't care whether she was a concubine or a wife, as long as she could marry Shen Changji, she would be content.
When Xie Qin returned to the main hall, Xie Linshi had just finished talking with Old Madam Shen, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
When Xie Lin saw Xie Qin, she quickly took his hand.
"Qin'er, quickly say a few words to the old lady, we'll be heading back soon."
"I like Qin'er very much."
Upon hearing this, Xie Linshi laughed even more mockingly.
She hoped that Old Mrs. Shen would seriously consider what she had just said.
"Since there are still people here, we won't bother you any longer," Xie Lin said politely.
"Alright, alright, go ahead."
Grandma Shen didn't stay any longer.
As soon as the person left, Old Mrs. Shen grasped Meng Ying's hand.
"Ziji just came back. Did you see him?"
She still remembered the last time Ziji praised Meng Ying. Although she had seen countless people, this grandson of hers...
Grandma Shen didn't reveal much either.
Meng Ying smiled and said, "I heard he's back, but he might be busy, so I haven't seen him yet. It's alright, the main reason I came here today is to keep the old lady company."
Before Princess Su moved out, I heard that she was the one serving you, Madam. Now... Ying'er has nothing to do either, so let Ying'er keep you company as much as possible!
As she spoke, Meng Ying smiled and gently took Old Madam Shen's arm.
Xie Qin was also in a hurry to get back, so as soon as he returned to the mansion, he went into his study and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
He couldn't believe that Su Miao's condition was truly beyond saving...
...
As soon as Shen Changji returned to the room, he immediately turned her over and pinned her to the bed.
Just as she was about to push him away, Shen Changji pressed down on her.
"Chen Changji, are you crazy? This is the Duke's mansion, what do you want to do?"
Don't forget, Meng Ying is here today too!
Su Miao blushed and glared at him.
"I don't mind if you shout louder and call Grandma over!"
He lowered his head and stroked her back with the fine lines of his fingertips, eliciting a soft moan from her.
Su Miao instinctively tried to curl up, but the man's large hand gripped her knee.
He lowered his head and kissed him.
His cool, thin lips were forceful and domineering, giving her no chance to resist or refuse, and tightly gripping her waist.
Su Miao pushed against his chest with sobs, but no matter what she did, she couldn't move him.
Instead, he brutally stole even their breath.
The action is one of refusal, but the heart is honest.
Those inseparable memories from the past are ingrained in each other's very bones.
Su Miao's blush deepened, spreading to the back of her ears, making her feel both ashamed and annoyed.
"A deep, long silence!"
But the man was completely unfazed by her little cat-like annoyance and leaned in to peck her chin.
"Don't leave me, Su Miao."
His breathing was heavy, and his voice was terribly hoarse.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao stared at him with teary eyes, a hint of stubbornness still lingering in them.
Have you ever considered... that there's actually no possibility for us?
When Su Miao said those words, she could guess that Shen Changji would probably be unhappy. She was about to get up and leave when Shen Changji grabbed her wrist.
With a gentle pull, she fell back to her original position.
"impossible."
Shen Changji's gaze was intense, and he retorted without hesitation.
"A long silence ensued; we have no... result!"
Su Miao bit her lip, then looked away and said those words.
"So what? So you want to leave with Xie Qin? And make me marry Meng Ying?" Shen Changji sneered.
"Prince Xie is doing well."
Su Miao's words were like adding fuel to the fire.
Shen Changji had heard Su Miao praise Xie Qin at least three times already.
"Where is it good?"
“He’s great everywhere, at least… I think he’s a good match for me.”
When Su Miao said those words, she didn't dare to look away from the long silence.
