Life was indeed full of twists and turns.
Seeing that Shen Miao was in a daze, Xie Jingxing asked, “Are you going to kill her?”
Shen Miao ca back to her senses and said, “She conspired with the Xie brothers to kidnap and tried to sell to a brothel. She even secretly wanted to harm my brother. I’m not a saint, nor will I repay evil with kindness. Given what she has done to , just taking her life is already very rciful on my end.”
“You ruthless girl.” Xie Jingxing smiled indifferently, as if he was not surprised at all that Shen Miao wanted to kill the princess of a country. He crossed his arms and looked at Shen Miao calmly. “However, why should I do that for you?”
Shen Miao was speechless.
It was said that when a woman was on her period, she would be fickle and moody. Now, Shen Miao couldn’t help but wonder if n would also have periods. Otherwise, why was Xie Jingxing so fickle and moody today? A few days ago, Xie Jingxing took the initiative to stand up for her and even went out of his way to save her. Now that he was asked to stand up for her, Xie Jingxing put on airs. What was wrong with him?
She said, “Didn’t you already take as your ally? Isn’t it only right for you to stand up for your ally?”
Xie Jingxing choked and looked at Shen Miao. His gaze flickered as he said in a low voice, “Although that’s the case, not only did I save you, but I also killed soone because of you. Now, I even have to help you assassinate a princess. Allies are supposed to help each other, but you haven’t done anything yet. The ones who help each other unconditionally are husband and wife. I don’t think you treat as an ally, but a husband.”
Shen Miao was angry and sneered. “Prince Rui is high and noble. It’s fine if you don’t want to. I won’t force you. I’ll think of a way to deal with Princess Ming An myself.”
“Think of a way?” Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “Ask your Cousin Ling for help?”
Shen Miao retorted, “What does this have to do with Cousin Ling?”
Xie Jingxing said, “Why are you in such a hurry? I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. It’s not sothing difficult anyway. I will certainly help. However, you have to do sothing for .”
Shen Miao glared at him.
“Ummm, I haven’t figured out what I want you to do yet.” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and sighed. “Just make two baskets of pastries for . I’m afraid I’ll go hungry during the assassination.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
It was not until Xie Jingxing left that Shen Miao sat back on the couch. At this mont, she was no longer sleepy. She did not know how Xie Jingxing would assassinate Princess Ming An, but she was surprisingly not worried. Xie Jingxing must have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Even after changing his identity, he still dared to swagger around under Emperor Wen Hui’s nose. As for taking a princess’s life, looking at how confident he was, it should be a piece of cake for him.
However… Xie Jingxing seed to really be in a bad mood today…
…
After a few consecutive sunny days in the capital of Ming Qi, it began to snow again. The noble ladies were all pampered and unwilling to go out in such weather. If they had to go out, they would definitely bundle themselves up tightly. They also had to carry a few heaters in their hands to prevent themselves from catching a cold. The water in Lake Wanli was frozen. Even people who were fishing had to dig a hole in the ice to fish. It was as if overnight, the trees were filled with sparkling ice sticks. If soone splashed water on the threshold at night, the threshold would definitely be covered in a layer of ice the next day.
