Dealing with Xie Jing Xing was like walking on a tightrope. This youth was young but unfathomable. Every sentence seemed to be unintentional but it was a roundabout way of probing. That kind of dangerous feeling made her uneasy. Even though she did not treat the residence of the Marquis of Lin An as the enemy of the Shen family, but the relationship between the two residences was very clear, so naturally Xie Jing Xing would not have no ill feelings.
Tonight's encounter, Xie Jing Xing should be here to do something. He was different from the frivolous Little Marquis Xie in the capital. The him in the rainy night was like a different person. Initially she only knew that Xie Jing Xing had some ability but now thinking about it, the secret of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An was not simple.
Her gaze landed on the table. Xie Jing Xing's unfinished snacks were still on the table. If not for these, everything seemed to be a dream without a trace. But now was not the time to think about these. Xie Jing Xing was not that important to her now. Tomorrow … Everything would wait until tomorrow.
At the back of the mountain, the pitter-patter of rain drenched the entire mountain and there was a group of people standing under the tree.
The youth in the lead was tall and slender. The rain drenched his clothes and also his hair but he stood like a statue and did not move at all as he looked at the foot of the mountain in a trance.
After a moment, somewhere at the foot of the mountain, a small firework suddenly bloomed. Rather than saying it was a firework, it was better to say that it was a small cluster of light and it disappeared very quickly. It was only a moment of effort before it dispersed.
The youth turned around and said in a flat tone, "It is done."
"Young Master is injured." The middle-aged man at the side frowned.
He lowered his head and looked at the fresh knife wound on his arm. Just now the incense in the room was targeted at males. Once inhaled, one would be led by desire and one would gradually lose one's rationality and fall into madness. The effect on females was not that strong as that girl had escaped a calamity. Even though his rationality was outstanding, he was not a saint and was afraid of an accident so he could only use this method to stay awake.
"Let's go back and talk."
"Young Master." The middle-aged man was somewhat hesitant and continued to speak, "That Young Lady of the Shen family had seen today …"
"Tie Yi, it is just a little girl. It is not worthwhile for me to take action." The youth's beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed and his tone was rather cold.
The man was somewhat afraid of him but after thinking about it, he still plucked up his courage and said, "But the Shen family might know …"
"The Shen family doesn't know." The youth coldly said, "The Shen family are all stupid. It is not easy to have a smart one." He seemed to have thought of something and smiled gently, "It is a pity."
The middle-aged man moved his lips but didn't say anything in the end.
"Let's go."
At the same time, in the North Pavilion.
In the room that was adjacent to the innermost room, Ren Wan Yun sat in front of the table. She only lit a small oil lamp and the flickering flame was like her heart.
Xiang Lan said, "Lady, it's already the third watch, let's rest."
Ren Wan Yun shook her head and there was a little irritation on her face, "Cannot sleep." She did not know why but her heart felt uneasy and she did not know where this uneasiness came from. And Gui Momo also said that everything went smoothly.
Moreover, when she left the courtyard, she could hear the sounds coming from the innermost room. In the rainy night, she could not hear it clearly, but she could hear the sound of a woman crying and struggling. Although it was not very clear, the mournful and tragic tone was very clear. When Ren Wan Yun heard it, her face turned red and her heart palpitated but she could not help but feel fear and trepidation. There had always been rumours in the capital that Prince Yu of the First Rank had many ways to play with females and now it seemed that it was indeed so. Shen Miao would definitely have to suffer a bout of torture. Even though there was some fear in her heart, there was a sense of comfort in the fear.
In the Third household of the Shen family, Shen Miao relied on Shen Xin's backing and no matter what happened, the first person outside would be Shen Miao. Shen Yue was a talented female who was famous in the capital and only Shen Qing was slightly mediocre. But she still had a son and now that Shen Qiu was following Shen Xin, in the future he would definitely compete with Shen Yuan Bo for the family property. But now, wasn't Shen Miao being played with by others? Then that Eldest Sao who had eyes on the top, if she knew that her daughter had done such a shameful thing, would she protect Shen Miao? Or would she give Shen Miao a piece of white silk.
