"Young Lady." Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were somewhat vigilant as they stood in front of Shen Miao to protect her. Shouting loudly would be too much of a loss of composure. Moreover this youth was dressed in brocade clothes and was born with a noble and beautiful appearance, making one unable to help but suspect his identity. But after all he was a stranger, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were afraid that there would be an accident.
"Gu Yu, Jing Zhe, both of you guard at the entrance of the forest." Shen Miao said.
"But Young Lady …" Both of them were somewhat hesitant.
"Go." Shen Miao slightly frowned. One did not know why but she was very good at giving orders. Every time she ordered the maids to do something, there would be an inexplicable majesty that no one dared to refute.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu could only retreat to the entrance of the forest.
"You are indeed interesting." Xie Jing Xing leaned against the tree trunk and looked at her playfully. He was obviously a noble Young Master but his eyes were as sharp as a bloody blade on the battlefield and his plain tone was able to bring out a biting cold intent. He was after all a person who had seen blood on the battlefield.
"What does Marquis Xie want to say?" Shen Miao asked. Xie Jing Xing suddenly appeared and naturally it was not for idle chatter. Even though this person was young, the way he did things was very insightful. Since the old Marquis could not control him, he would be even more unbridled in the way he did things, making others unable to grasp the path.
"Prince Yu residence is currently lacking a Wangfei. That cripple seemed to have taken a fancy to you and wanted to congratulate you." His tone was unclear. However to call Prince Yu a 'cripple' was considered to be very daring but when Xie Jing Xing said it, there was a trace of contempt and ridicule, as if Prince Yu was just an unbearably dirty plaything.
This person's ambition was very high.
Shen Miao was thinking in her heart but did not show it on her face. She had actually forgotten what this calm look represented in the other person's eyes. Xie Jing Xing suddenly took a step forward. He was extremely tall and Shen Miao's entire person was under his shadow. The purple clad youth leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "You indeed already knew."
There was a nice cold bamboo scent coming from the youth's body and his voice was deliberately lowered to have an ambiguous magnetism. This action was also ambiguous. Shen Miao looked up and that handsome face was right in front of her and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked up, adding a bit of evil air to his smile.
But after all, she was not a real budding girl. She only slightly lowered her eyes and said, "So what if I know? So what if I don't know?"
Xie Jing Xing saw that she was indifferent and was too lazy to act like a playboy so he pushed her away without any tenderness towards the fairer sex. He waved a letter in his hand and smiled frivolously, "You know but you are not anxious about your own matters and instead worry about Second Young Master Librarian Jing?"
Shen Miao's eyes suddenly moved and stared at him tightly. Her tone involuntarily became somewhat ruthless, "Isn't Marquis Xie meddling in other people's business?"
"It's just a piece of paper. Why are you so nervous?" Xie Jing Xing regained his frivolous look, "What kind of relationship do you have with Second Librarian Jing to help him like this? Or … Shen family's girl, what are you planning? "
Shen Miao's face was as heavy as water as she quietly stared at the paper in Xie Jing Xing's hands. The paper was thin but it was a heavy stone in her heart.
It was the 《Circulation of Law》 that she had memorized for a long time. In the past lifetime, Pei Lang relied on this piece of paper and was discovered by Fu Xiu Yi. From then on, Fu Xiu Yi took him in as an aide and gave advice to Fu Xiu Yi's empire.
Now he had yet to show his talent but Shen Miao wanted to cut off all possibilities. Not only that, it was best for Pei Lang to never work for the Imperial family. This was the safest approach.
And the Second Young Master of Librarian Jing's family, Gao Yan, was a newly emerging aristocratic family in the Ding capital. The Imperial family of Ming Qi wanted to suppress the old aristocratic families so naturally they had to support the new aristocratic families. The Librarian Jing's family was the most prominent branch that was newly supported. The Eldest Young Master of Librarian Jing's family, Gao Jing, was truly talented and after Fu Xiu Yi ascended to the throne, he greatly supported him. The Librarian Jing's family thus received grace and became more tyrannical. And this Gao Yan … He even coveted her Wan Yu.
If she was not the Mistress of the Six Palaces at that time and Fu Xiu Yi had not started to deal with the Shen family, one fear that Wan Yu would have been killed. This Gao Yan's talent was not as good as his Older Brother and he was extremely vain and always liked to take his Older Brother's achievements as his own. He was a person who would seek revenge for the slightest flaw and was narrow-minded. In the past lifetime, Gao Yan did not enter the official career and in this lifetime, the Librarian Jing's family had not reached its peak yet. Gao Jing had just entered the official career not long ago so she might as well put in more effort to send Gao Yan into this broad official career.
She took Pei Lang's' Circulation of Law 'to Gao Yan because she knew that every year during the academy examinations, Gao Yan would let the servant spend money to buy a copy of the examination paper. Today she let Gu Yu and the others replace this copy of the examination paper. With Fu Xiu Yi's character of 'cherishing talent', he would definitely win Gao Yan over at all costs. And Gao Yan had a vain personality and would definitely not admit that this was not his doing. For such a person to enter the Ming Qi's official circles … She wanted to see how these two people would fight against Fu Xiu Yi!
Cutting off Fu Xiu Yi's powerful arm and replacing it with an empty head that stirred shit. Shen Miao had such a good idea but who knew that halfway through, Xie Jing Xing would appear and make her plan fall through for no reason.
Her eyes were bright and it was as if thousands of words were gathered in the clear eyes of a cub. Xie Jing Xing finally raised his lips and lazily said, "You do not need to show such a hateful expression. This letter was copied by my people and the original copy is still in the hands of the Gao family's brat."
Shen Miao was slightly surprised as she had never thought that it would be such a result. She looked at Xie Jing Xing and was silent for a moment before asking, "Little Marquis is broad-minded."
"It is not that broad-minded, it is just that this Marquis has a point of praise." Xie Jing Xing's eyes were slightly cold, "One do not like to meddle in other people's business."
Just as Shen Miao was about to speak, she heard Xie Jing Xing's voice again, "Now can you tell this Marquis why you wrote a letter to the Librarian Jing?"
Shen Miao sighed in her heart. Even though she had the intention to tie the Shen and Xie family on the same boat, now was not the time. The discord between the Shen and Xie families had been going on for a long time and was not something that could be resolved in a day and night. It was a slow plan but who knew that out of nowhere, Xie Jing Xing was involved and the good plans were all messed up.
She did not trust anyone and had her own path to walk. Be it Xie Jing Xing or the Xie family, they were all chess pieces in the great scheme of the world. No chess player would explain the reason to the chess pieces.
"This Marquis thought that for you to help him like this, unless you have a personal affair with him and help your lover to fight for the limelight." Xie Jing Xing's smile was mischievous as he sized Shen Miao up, "Afterwards thinking that even though the Second Son of the Gao family is not a good person, his eyesight in picking females is not bad." He looked at Shen Miao. It was clearly an extremely beautiful eyebrow but it was as piercing as the Northwest Desert.
"Also, if you want to help Gao Yan, it means that you want to help Warden Jing's reputation. But you don't help Gao Yan. That's the trash Gao Yan. It looks like you have bad intentions." He smiled maliciously, but his words hit the nail on the head.
"Shen family's girl, do you have enmity with Librarian Jing?"
