749 Exposed (4)
Shen Miaoâs heart skipped a beat. What Princess Rong Xin was driving at was too obvious.
Princess Rong Xin picked up a small mirror on the shelf and said, âActually, he doesnât look like the Marquis of Linâan, and he doesnât look like Yuqing either. The Marquis of Linâan is stupid and indecisive. Otherwise, he wouldnât have been used by a little b*tch like Concubine Fang. Yuqing was a lovestruck fool. She lost her life because of it. However, Jingxing is different from the two of them.â
âJingxing looked mischievous, but he was extremely decisive. One of his good friends used to take a fancy to a sword he got. His friend did not say it, but he understood it. Later, he said that he liked his friendâs mirror and exchanged his sword for it.â
âI asked him why he said he liked that mirror when he clearly didnât like it. He told me because he didnât like that sword either.â
!!
âWhen he was young, he seemed to know very well what he wanted and didnât want. For things he didnât want, he wouldnât even take a look at it. He always liked to smile and was popular among girls, but he didnât show interest in these girls.â
Princess Rong Xin stared at Shen Miao. For a moment, Shen Miao felt that Princess Rong Xin and Xie Jingxing were a little similar in some ways, especially when they stared at people with sharp eyes, as if they could see through peopleâs souls.
She continued, âI thought that the title of the Marquis of Linâan was not something he wanted, so from the beginning, he never had any kinship with the Marquis of Linâan. I always thought that I was someone he wanted to hold on to tightly, but now it seems that I was wrong. Iâm also someone he doesnât need, right?â
The question was directed at Shen Miao.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu had already been pulled out by Princess Rong Xinâs personal maid, Yang Xin. There was no one else in the room. Shen Miao listened quietly and said, âYoung Marquis always had you in his heart.â
âShen Miao, I know youâre smart.â Princess Rong Xin said, âIf he really had me in his heart, why would he lie that heâs dead? Why would he watch as Iâm tortured by his death? He clearly planned everything from the beginning and took advantage of my trust in him. He was in front of me but he refused to acknowledge me and used a lousy excuse to brush me off. Shen Miao, tell me, does he really me in his heart?â
At the end of her sentence, her tone suddenly became sharp, almost questioning angrily.
Shen Miaoâs heart sank. At the end of the day, Princess Rong Xin still discovered it.
But Shen Miao still didnât want to admit it.
There were many things that she could not say even if she knew it, even if there was ample evidence. Princess Rong Xin was a princess of Ming Qi, and Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty. Once the secret was out and Princess Rong Xin made it public, Shen Miao could not imagine what kind of change it would bring to the overall situation and how much trouble it would cause Xie Jingxing.
Even if Princess Rong Xin was absolutely certain that she was right.
Shen Miao said, âI donât understand what Princess is talking about.â
Princess Rong Xin looked at her disdainfully. The kindness and gentleness from before were gone, and it was replaced by the condescension of a superior when facing a subordinate. That was the most common expression of the royal family. Once upon a time, Shen Miao could see it every day. She suddenly felt a sense of disgust. It was not that she hated Princess Rong Xin, but she probably hated the blood of the royal family flowing in Princess Rong Xin. Princess Rong Xin said, âDo you know what kind of crime it is to deceive the royal family?â
