"No harm." Shen Miao waved her hands and said, "Return to the residence first."
"This Prince helped Young Lady Shen but Young Lady Shen did not even say a word of thanks. This is too heartless." Prince Rui crossed his arms and spoke unhurriedly, making Jing Zhe and the rest surprised for a moment.
Shen Miao looked at him coldly, "Is Prince Rui playing happily today?"
"That depends on whether you are happy or not." He laughed. Even with a mask, Shen Miao could see the vile expression of this person in front of her.
"Princess Ming An falling into the water was done by you?" She leaned close to Xie Jing Xing and whispered, "Why did you do that?"
Xie Jing Xing looked down at her. She was petite and when Xie Jing Xing wanted to whisper to her, he had to bend down slightly. When their eyes were at eye level, it seemed a little too intimate and could be considered as ambiguous. His voice was low and sweet with a slight teasing, "What thing is she to bully you?" After pausing, Xie Jing Xing stared at Shen Miao and said, "Am I not your person? It is reasonable to help you. "
Shen Miao suddenly took a step back and distanced herself from him before saying indifferently, "Then many thanks to you."
"Thanking is not something that can be done with just words." Xie Jing Xing's lips hooked up, "This Prince needs to think about it."
Shen Miao was too lazy to speak more with him and boarded the carriage without a second word. Mo Qing was worried that Shen Miao would catch a cold and rushed towards the Shen mansion without stopping, and very quickly disappeared from the alley.
Looking at the distance where the carriage could no longer be seen, a tall male suddenly appeared behind Xie Jing Xing. Xie Jing Xing's eyes turned cold as he said, "Go check if HuangFu Hao had ever been to the Ding capital before."
The male bowed his head and left. Xie Jing Xing turned his head and looked at the main doors of Prince Qin's residence. His lips hooked up but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
…
On the way back to the residence, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu did not dare to speak. No one expected that Shen Miao would be so difficult when she went out today. This Princess Ming An's guts was just too big. She even dared to push someone into the water in broad daylight. Jing Zhe's eyes were red. At that critical moment, she did not care about the other party's identity. Now thinking about it, that person was after all the Princess of the Qin country and she was just a lowly servant. If the other party really wanted to do anything to her, Jing Zhe herself would not be able to do anything. Only now did she remember that she was afraid.
Shen Miao on the other hand was in a calm mood. She had long known that Princess Ming An did not have good intentions, but because of the overall situation, even if no one came today, when Princess Ming An arrived, she would get people to fish her out of the water, and would not really take her life. One did not expect that a fiend would suddenly appear and push Princess Ming An into the water.
Naturally this was Xie Jing Xing's tricks. Xie Jing Xing was lawless and had no regard for anyone, and even schemed against Princess Ming An in front of HuangFu Hao. Perhaps when HuangFu Hao thought about it later, he would also realize that something was wrong. After all, Princess Ming An fell to the middle of the pond, and if one did not have martial arts, how would one be able to do it? And the only outsider who knew martial arts was Xie Jing Xing. Even if one did not know if it was done by Xie Jing Xing, one would always have some suspicions.
But … Shen Miao's eyes slightly moved. Xie Jing Xing's move made Princess Ming An to be in such a sorry state, and it really made one feel refreshed. If there was no Xie Jing Xing today, even if she was in the right, she would still suffer. Now that she was in the right, she would still suffer, but seeing that Princess Ming An was beaten up, she felt that the suffering was worth it.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao with some worry, but one did not know what Shen Miao was thinking about, and the corner of her lips slightly rose, as if she was somewhat happy. Both of them looked at each other and were somewhat at a loss. They did not know how Shen Miao would be happy after being pushed into the water by others.
When they returned to the Shen mansion, because Shen Miao was dripping wet, she could only sneak in from the back door. Jing Zhe quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Shen Miao's hair, and helped her change into a clean set of clothes. Gu Yu then instructed the kitchen to boil ginger tea. Shen Miao sat for a while before asking, "Why do I not see Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang?"
Before she left, she let Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang stay in the residence to wait for news, but there was no one at the moment. Just as she was speaking, one saw Bai Lu returning from outside. When she saw Shen Miao, she was pleasantly surprised, "Young Lady has finally returned. Just now Furen asked this servant where did Young Lady go, and why is one not back yet?"
"What is the matter with Mother?" Shen Miao finally managed to dry her hair and asked when she heard that.
"One heard that the daughter of Old General's benefactor came knocking. Furen is outside chatting with that Young Lady, and wanted Young Lady to go and take a look."
Shen Miao's hand that was holding the handkerchief paused and her gaze turned sharp, "What is that person's name?"
Bai Lu was surprised for a moment and felt that Shen Miao's gaze was somewhat cold, and subconsciously replied, "One heard that it is surnamed Chang."
