753 Affection (2)
…
When Shen Miao returned home, Shen Xin and his wife were both waiting for her. Seeing that she had returned unscathed, they heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Miao had something on her mind and said that she was a little tired and wanted to rest early, so no one suspected anything. Shen Miao returned to the bedroom and asked Jingzhe and Gu Yu to leave before sitting down at the table.
She felt uneasy.
It was really a rash decision for Xie Jingxing to appear in the princess mansion today and expose his identity to Princess Rong Xin. Xie Jingxing was not a rash person. Other than helping Shen Miao out and preventing Princess Rong Xin from doing anything to the Shen family, there was no other reason why he would show up.
This was not what Shen Miao wanted to see because Xie Jingxing had never really hurt her from the beginning to the end.
Shen Miao did not know how deep the relationship between Princess Rong Xin and Xie Jingxing really was, but in the princess mansion, after Princess Rong Xin confirmed Xie Jingxing’s identity, her reaction was indeed heartbreaking. Xie Jingxing did not say anything and looked indifferent, as if he did not take it to heart at all. However, Shen Miao knew how much pain Xie Jingxing felt to be treated like that by his closest family.
After all, Xie Jingxing’s first Tiger Head Bracelet was given to Princess Rong Xin. After all, when he returned to the capital two years later and found out that Princess Rong Xin had another heart attack, he sent people to search for the herb immediately.
Shen Miao stood up in frustration and walked to the window. She pushed open the window and looked out. The sky outside was dark, and the capital on a winter night gave off a desolate and cold feeling.
She thought for a moment before turning around. She took out a thick dark red cloak from the closet and covered herself before walking to the window and calling out softly, “Cong Yang.”
A black shadow landed from the tree and stood straight in front of Shen Miao. He said respectfully, “Young Madam, what can I do for you?”
For some reason, Shen Miao had automatically ignored the way he addressed her. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Take me to see Xie Jingxing.”
Cong Yang opened his mouth and gasped. He usually had a straight face, but now, he looked a little comical.
Shen Miao urged in frustration, “Can you take me to see him or not?”
“Young Madam.” Cong Yang came back to his senses and looked troubled. “I don’t know where Master is now.”
Shen Miao frowned. Cong Yang was protecting her all day, so it was indeed impossible for him to know Xie Jingxing’s whereabouts. When she came out of the princess mansion tonight, Xie Jingxing left too quickly. Before she could ask, he was already nowhere to be seen.
However, for some reason, Shen Miao felt that Xie Jingxing should be in Prince Rui’s mansion at this moment. Shen Miao felt that if Xie Jingxing was unhappy, he would probably want to be alone.
She made a prompt decision and said to Cong Yang, “Bring me to Prince Rui’s mansion.”
Cong Yang looked troubled. Seeing this, Shen Miao frowned and asked, “Can’t you even do this?”
Cong Yang quickly explained, “I can naturally do it alone, but I can’t do it if Young Madam is with me.”
