After taking this step, it would be very difficult to turn back. There would be cracks in both parties' hearts, and the reunion of broken mirrors was a story that would only appear in dramas. Shen Miao felt that there were many things that she could not see clearly in the Inner Palace in her previous life, but now from a different angle, with an outsider's identity, it was clear at a glance. To play with others in the palm of one's hand, even if it was an enemy, her mood was not that good. Perhaps it was because she would also think that when Mei Furen looked at her, it was the same as how she looked at Chen Rou Qiu now.
"Do not worry." After pausing for a moment, she then said, "It would not be that easy to find out." She had handed this matter over to the Feng Xian Pawnshop to handle, and since she had accepted the money, Ji Yu Shu would definitely give her a good reward. The Feng Xian Pawnshop had been doing business in the Ding capital for so long, so it was impossible that they did not understand this little thing.
Jing Zhe did not speak anymore, and seeing that the window outside was not closed, she wanted to get up and close it. As she was leaving, she said, "Why did Gu Yu forget to close the window all day? The weather is so cold and the cold wind would enter. What if Young Lady's body catches a cold?"
"Wait." Shen Miao called out to her and looked at the window, "Let the air in first. The room is very stuffy. Later I will close it myself."
When Jing Zhe saw Shen Miao's determined look, even though she had some doubts in her heart as to where it was stuffy in this bright room, she did not say anything. She then fried the wick of the oil lamp for Shen Miao and said, "Young Lady should also rest early."
Jing Zhe withdrew.
Shen Miao looked at the slightly swaying candle flame and was about to pick it up and walk to the side. Just as she was halfway there, that candle flame seemed to be flicked by something and shook violently.
A familiar voice sounded, and with a playful laziness that had not been heard for a long time, "Did you not specially leave the door open for me? Why do you want to sleep?"
Shen Miao turned her head back and saw the youth leaning on the window sill with one hand supporting his chin. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes casually looked over, lazy and charming. Even in the darkness of the night, one would not be able to ignore his radiance. He saw that Shen Miao was slightly startled and his figure flashed and entered the room. Naturally he snatched the oil lamp from Shen Miao's hands and walked to the small table to sit down.
His actions were as smooth as flowing water, as if he was entering his own room.
"You have returned?" Shen Miao asked.
"Tsk," Xie Jing Xing stared at her and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Why, did you miss me?"
Shen Miao was used to his frivolous and ambiguous words and simply ignored him. He walked over to the small table and sat down. Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, "You did well regarding Chen Rou Qiu's matter."
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at him, "You know again." Xie Jing Xing's informants were all over the Ding capital, not to mention that Ji Yu Shu of the Feng Xian Pawnshop had some relationship with Xie Jing Xing. Shen Miao let Ji Yu Shu go out to spread rumours and one fear that Ji Yu Shu would tell Xie Jing Xing about it so Shen Miao did not care about it now.
"No wonder when Chang Zai Qing came to the Ding capital, you had such an attitude." Xie Jing Xing however was talking to himself and looked at Shen Miao again. One could not tell if his tone was admiration or sigh as he said half truthfully, "Really vicious and merciless."
Shen Miao declined to comment. Xie Jing Xing seemed to have thought of something and one did not know where he took out a box and threw it into Shen Miao's arms.
Shen Miao was almost hit by that box and felt that the small box was heavy. When she subconsciously caught it, she saw that there was a big tiger carved on the outer shell of the box. The tiger's head was lively and had a bit of charmingly naive look, but the appearance of it baring its fangs and brandishing its claws was very fierce. Thinking of the white tiger called 'Jiao Jiao' that Xie Jing Xing raised, Shen Miao endured the anger in her heart and opened the box.
When she opened it, she was almost dazzled by the colourful things in the box. She saw that the heavy box was filled with exquisite and luxurious jewellery. Not to mention that it was a full box, even if it was just a single piece, it would be expensive. Why would Xie Jing Xing give her jewellery for no reason? Shen Miao looked at him and shook her head, "I do not need jewellery."
