505 I’ll Help You (6)
“It’s fine.” Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “Let’s go back first.”
“Miss Shen, I helped you, but you didn’t even say a word of thanks. Isn’t that too impolite?” Prince Rui crossed his arms and said unhurriedly, making Jingzhe and the others stunned.
Shen Miao looked at him coldly and said, “Did Prince Rui have a good time today?”
“That depends on whether you’re happy or not.” He smiled. Even through the mask, Shen Miao could tell that the person in front of her had a teasing expression.
“You pushed Princess Ming An, right?” She leaned closer to Xie Jingxing and whispered, “Why did you do this?”
Xie Jingxing looked down at her. She was petite. If Xie Jingxing wanted to talk to her in a low voice, he had to bend down slightly. When their gazes were at the same level, he was a little too close to her. His voice was low and pleasant, with a hint of teasing. “Who does she think she is to bully you?” After a pause, Xie Jingxing stared at Shen Miao and said, “Am I not yours? It’s only right for me to help you.”
Shen Miao suddenly took a step back and distanced herself from him. She said indifferently, “Thank you.”
“Thank you is not enough.” Xie Jingxing curled up his lips. “I have to think about how you should thank me.”
Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. Without a word, she got into the carriage. Worried that Shen Miao would catch a cold, Mo Qing rushed back. Soon, the carriage disappeared from sight.
Looking into the distance where the carriage could no longer be seen, a tall man suddenly appeared behind Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing’s eyes turned cold as he said, “Go and investigate if Huangfu Hao has been to the capital before.”
The man bowed and left. Xie Jingxing turned around and glanced at the door of Crown Prince Qin’s mansion. He smiled, but his eyes were cold.
…
On the way back to the mansion, Jingzhe and Gu Yu did not dare to speak. They didn’t expect that Shen Miao would suffer this humiliation. Princess Ming An was really too lawless. She even dared to push someone into the water in broad daylight. Jingzhe’s eyes were red from anger. At that time, in the critical moment, she did not care about Princess Ming An’s identity. Now that she thought about it, that person was the princess of the State of Qin after all, and she was just a lowly servant. If Princess Ming An really wanted to do something to her, Jingzhe would not even have a chance to fight back. Only now did she start to feel terrified.
Shen Miao, on the other hand, was calm. She had long known that Princess Ming An was up to no good, but since they were in Ming Qi’s territory, even if no one came to save Shen Miao today, Princess Ming An would still get someone to pull her out of the water. She did not expect a devil to suddenly appear and push Princess Ming An into the water.
This was naturally Xie Jingxing’s doing. Xie Jingxing was lawless and supercilious. He schemed against Princess Ming An in front of Huangfu Hao. Huangfu Hao would probably realize that something was wrong when he thought about it later. After all, Princess Ming An fell into the middle of the pond as soon as Shen Miao was pushed. Xie Jingxing was the only outsider present who knew martial arts and had the strength to do that.
However… Shen Miao’s eyes flickered. It was really satisfying to see Princess Ming An in such a sorry state. If not for Xie Jingxing today, she would have suffered a lot. However, seeing Princess Ming An suffer, she felt that this suffering was worth it.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao worriedly, but they saw that Shen Miao seemed to have thought of something and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if she was happy. The two of them looked at each other, puzzled. They didn’t know why Shen Miao would be happy about being pushed into the water.
When they returned to the Shen family’s mansion, because Shen Miao was wet, she could only sneak in from the back door. Jingzhe quickly went to get a handkerchief to wipe Shen Miao’s hair and change her into a clean dress. Gu Yu went to instruct the kitchen to make ginger tea. Shen Miao sat for a while and asked, “Where are Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang?”
Before she left, she asked Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang to wait for news in the mansion, but neither of them was around. As she spoke, she saw Bai Lu return from outside. When she saw Shen Miao, she said in surprise, “Miss, you’re finally back. Just now, Madam asked me where you went and why you’re not back yet.”
“Why is my mother looking for me?” Shen Miao asked.
“I heard that the daughter of one of the old general’s benefactors is here. Madam is chatting with that lady outside and wants you to go and take a look.”
Shen Miao’s hand that was holding the handkerchief paused, and her gaze was sharp. “What’s that person’s name?”
Bai Lu was stunned. She felt that Shen Miao’s gaze was a little cold and subconsciously replied, “I heard that her surname is Chang.”
