"I know." Shen Miao softly said.
Shen Xin looked at Shen Miao and after looking for a while, he then smiled, "After a few more years. After a few more years, Father promises you that one will definitely come and look for you."
Shen Miao gently smiled, "I will wait for Father."
…
Ever since that day when Shen Xin and Shen Miao had a long private talk in the study, Shen Xin and Shen Miao's relationship seemed to be closer as Shen Miao often watched Shen Xin practice martial arts in the courtyard. This made Shen Qiu very jealous as he said, "Recently Younger Sister is sticking to Father and does not even care about me."
Shen Miao however felt that there was a tacit secret between her and Shen Xin. Shen Xin had become the person who understood her the most in the Shen family thus there were no scruples when speaking. Most of the time, she was advising Shen Xin on how to guard against the Heavenly family. She had stayed in the Palace for so long in her previous life and had some understanding of the Imperial family of Ming Qi. When it was said to Shen Xin, Shen Xin was very surprised as he did not know where did Shen Miao got to know all these. Naturally Shen Miao did not hesitate to push all the credit to Xie Jing Xing, which made Shen Xin to be more vigilant of Xie Jing Xing. With such scheming skills, one must not underestimate him and one must be more vigilant, lest one be sold off by others.
Speaking of Xie Jing Xing, Shen Miao also asked if Xie Jing Xing had said anything to Shen Xin. Xie Jing Xing did not admit nor deny it. Seeing his attitude, Shen Miao had an idea in her heart. Speaking of what would happen to the Shen family in Ming Qi, Xie Jing Xing said that with his support in Ming Qi's Ding capital, nothing would happen to the Shen family. With these words of his, Shen Miao was relieved.
In a blink of an eye, it was the night before the wedding.
On the second day, Shen Miao would be getting married from the Shen family and bring the bridal sedan to stroll around the entire Ding capital. After the bustling ceremony, she would leave the Ding capital's city gates and majestically leave Ming Qi and head towards the Great Liang.
The things that should be brought were brought and the people that should be brought were also brought. Even Shen Miao did not forget about Pei Lang. With Pei Lang's identity, it was very dangerous for him to stay in the Ding capital and Fu Xiu Yi would definitely dig three feet into the ground to find him, thus it was better to let Pei Lang mix into the wedding procession and head to the Great Liang together.
Previously Shen Miao thought that even if it was because of Liu Ying, Pei Lang would not easily agree to go to the Great Liang and would have to persuade him. But she only mentioned it in the letter and Pei Lang very readily replied to her saying that he agreed to go to the Great Liang. This made Shen Miao somewhat puzzled as she thought if it was Xie Jing Xing who threatened Pei Lang, but she felt that Xie Jing Xing would not do such a thing. If Pei Lang stayed in Ming Qi or the Great Liang, Xie Jing Xing would not care whether he was alive or dead.
Shen Miao was getting married tomorrow and other than the sleepless night in the Shen residence, naturally there were others who did not have the heart to sleep.
The Princess Mansion was one of them.
Princess Rong Xin paced back and forth in the room. She had dismissed all the servants as she was afraid that her abnormal actions would arouse suspicions.
Ever since she discovered that Prince Rui was Xie Jing Xing, even though Princess Rong Xin had a lot of doubts, she never took the initiative to go to the residence of Prince Rui to ask Xie Jing Xing. She knew that there were many eyes and ears in the Ding capital and even though she was a Princess who did not care about worldly affairs, it did not mean that there was no one who did not pay attention to her every move. If there were people who discovered something and followed the vines to the melon to find out Xie Jing Xing's identity, what would happen at that time?
Princess Rong Xin would always remember some old feelings towards Xie Jing Xing. She was wary of him, suspicious of him and vigilant of him but could not forget the past years of companionship. She could not forget that in those lonely days, it was Xie Jing Xing who came to talk to her, allowing her to pass through the difficult times of being a widow.
One's feelings were very complicated and there was no pure love or hate. If one could clearly distinguish love and hate, most likely many things in the world would become much easier. The most difficult thing was that love was mixed in, thus one could not harden one's heart and act as if nothing had happened.
