Secret (4)

"I understand," Shen Miao said softly.0

Shen Xin looked at Shen Miao for a while before saying with a smile, "In a few years, in a few years, I promise you that I will come and look for you."

Shen Miao smiled. "I'll wait for you, Father."

…

Ever since that day when Shen Xin and Shen Miao had a long private conversation in the study, Shen Xin and Shen Miao seemed to have become closer. Shen Miao often watched Shen Xin practice martial arts in the courtyard, making Shen Qiu very jealous. He said, "Sister, you've been sticking to Father these days and even ignoring me."

Shen Miao felt that there was an unspoken mutual understanding between her and Shen Xin. Shen Xin had become the person in the Shen family who understood the most about her, so she did not hold back when she talked to Shen Xin. Most of the time, she advised Shen Xin to be wary of the royal family. She had been in the palace for so long in her previous life, so she had some understanding of the royal family of Ming Qi. When Shen Xin heard this, he was very surprised, not knowing where Shen Miao found out all this. Shen Miao naturally did not hesitate to push all the credit to Xie Jingxing, making Shen Xin more wary of him. Such a sophisticated person could not be underestimated. He had to be careful.

Speaking of Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao had also asked Xie Jingxing if he had said anything to Shen Xin. Xie Jingxing did not admit or deny it. When she asked him what would happen to the Shen family in Ming Qi in the future, Xie Jingxing said that with his help, the Shen family would be fine. With his words, Shen Miao was relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it was the night before the wedding.

The next day, Shen Miao was going to get married. She would sit in the sedan chair to tour the entire capital. Then, she would leave Ming Qi and go to the Daliang Dynasty in a grand manner.

She had brought everything she needed to bring, including Pei Lang. It was already very dangerous for Pei Lang to stay in the capital. Fu Xiuyi would definitely search the entire capital to find him. It was better to let Pei Lang join the wedding team and go to the Daliang Dynasty together.

Shen Miao used to think that Pei Lang would not agree to go to the Daliang Dynasty so easily, so she had to persuade him. However, she only mentioned it in the letter, and Pei Lang replied to her very readily, saying that he agreed to go to the Daliang Dynasty. This puzzled Shen Miao. She thought that Xie Jingxing might have threatened Pei Lang, but she felt that Xie Jingxing probably would not do such a thing. Whether Pei Lang was alive or dead, Xie Jingxing probably did not care at all.

Shen Miao was getting married tomorrow. Apart from the fact that it was a sleepless night in the Shen family, there were naturally others who were not in the mood to sleep.

The princess mansion was one of them.

Princess Rong Xin paced back and forth in the room. She was afraid that her abnormal behavior would arouse suspicion, so she dismissed all the servants.

Ever since she found out that Prince Rui was Xie Jingxing, although Princess Rong Xin had many questions, she had never taken the initiative to go to Prince Rui's mansion to ask Xie Jingxing in person. She knew that the royal family in the capital had many spies. Although she had stayed away from the imperial court for a long time, there might still be people who watched her every move. If someone found out something about Xie Jingxing's identity, what would happen?

Princess Rong Xin still had some feelings for Xie Jingxing. She was wary of him, suspicious of him, and on guard against him, but she could not forget the past. She could not forget that it was Xie Jingxing who came to talk to her and helped her through the difficult times of being a widow.

Human emotions were very complicated. There was no pure love and hate. If one could distinguish between love and hate, many things in the world would probably be much easier. The most difficult thing was that love was very mixed.
