817 Betrothal Gift (6)
A lazy voice sounded in the night. “Jiaojiao, co here.”
Shen Miao looked up and saw Xie Jingxing leaning against the tree with his arms crossed, looking at her with a faint smile. She didn’t know if he was calling her or the white tiger.
Shen Miao walked towards him, and the white tiger followed happily. This white tiger was quite easygoing. They had only t a few tis, and it actually wagged its tail affectionately at her. Those who did not know better would think that this white tiger was raised by Shen Miao.
She stood beside Xie Jingxing and asked, “Why are you looking for ?”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “Mkaing a wedding dress.”
“Making a wedding dress?” Shen Miao was puzzled. Before she could continue asking, Xie Jingxing suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her gently and let go.
He was too fast. The hug only lasted for a mont, catching Shen Miao off guard.
Xie Jingxing said, “With your personality, you probably won’t embroider a wedding dress for yourself. I found the best embroiderer in the Daliang Dynasty, but I don’t know your size.” He sized up Shen Miao from head to toe and said aningfully, “I’ll know after a hug.”
Shen Miao said, “Shaless, shaless.”
Xie Jingxing nodded nonchalantly and said, “But you seed to like it very much just now.”
Shen Miao glared at him and said sarcastically, “You’re quite capable. You can tell my size with just a hug. Have you done this many tis in the past?”
Xie Jingxing stared at her until Shen Miao’s cheeks turned red. Then, he smiled and said, “Are you jealous? Then you can hug back.” He opened his arms, looking like he was willing to let her do whatever she wanted.
“Who wants to hug you?” Shen Miao said disdainfully, “By the way, I have sothing to ask you.”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”
“I’ve received the betrothal gift list. Why did you give so many betrothal gifts?” Shen Miao found it funny. “My house can’t accommodate those things. Besides, the Shen family can’t prepare that much dowry. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?”
“Is that a lot?” Xie Jingxing said casually, “I was planning to give more.”
Shen Miao was speechless. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a guard rush in from outside. When he saw Xie Jingxing, he looked troubled and said, “Your Highness, soone is looking for you outside. We stopped him, but he seed to have gone crazy and shouted your na. Afraid of causing misunderstanding, we had no choice but to restrain him for the ti being.”
“So?” Xie Jingxing asked.
“It’s the eldest young master of the Su family, Su Mingfeng,” the guard said.
Shen Miao suddenly looked up.
In the front hall of Prince Rui’s mansion, a young man was tied up, and there was a rag in his mouth. He glared angrily at the guard at the side and was still struggling in vain.
This person was Su Mingfeng.
Su Mingfeng had sent people to spy on Prince Rui’s mansion for a long ti, including the Shen family and the princess’s mansion. The longer he investigated, the more suspicious Su Mingfeng beca. He suspected that Prince Rui was the dead Xie Jingxing. Although this guess was very ridiculous, as ti passed, not only did this thought not disappear, but it beca more and more entrenched.
Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao were close. Now that Shen Miao was granted to marry Prince Rui, if Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui, everything would make sense.
Su Mingfeng had a deep bond with Xie Jingxing. After all, he had been friends with him since they were young. He had learned a lot from Xie Jingxing. What Xie Jingxing ant to him was ineffable.
Regardless of whether Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui or not, Su Mingfeng had to go and check it himself.
He wanted to sneak into Prince Rui’s mansion and see how Prince Rui looked when he took off his mask. At that ti, the truth would be revealed.
This was a crazy move, but Su Mingfeng felt that there was a reason why he felt the need to do it. He was not stupid enough to stride in from the door. Instead, he let his people lure the guards away before he sneaked in.
However, Su Mingfeng did not expect the guards of Prince Rui’s mansion to be so smart and imdiately caught him.
Su Mingfeng was a little dejected and disappointed. At this mont, he thought that since he had already been caught, it was even more impossible for him to know the truth.
Just as he was thinking, a person with a big beard and dressed as a guard walked in and stopped in front of him.
Su Mingfeng’s heart tightened. The bearded man gave the people around him a look. Imdiately, soone ca over to untie him and take off the cloth in his mouth.
“My master wants to see you. Follow .”
