In the entire letter, Shen Miao did not mention what she wanted Pei Lang to do exactly. She only told Pei Lang the opportunities to get close to Fu Xiuyi. How he could get Fu Xiuyi’s trust depended on him.
This was the greatest trust Shen Miao could give Pei Lang.
In her previous life, Fu Xiuyi and Pei Lang were in the same boat. Now, she became the first person to discover this talent and use it. She also wanted to let Fu Xiuyi have a taste of what it felt like to be betrayed by someone closest to him.
She glanced at Pei Lang and suddenly felt a little disgusted. After finishing what she had to say, she did not want to talk to Pei Lang anymore and turned to leave.
“Shen Miao!” Pei Lang stopped her. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Take care.”
Shen Miao was a little surprised, but she only said indifferently, “Thank you.” Then, she left, leaving Pei Lang standing there alone, staring at Shen Miao’s back with a complicated gaze.
When Shen Miao left Pei Lang’s courtyard, she saw a fair meatball standing in the garden outside the school. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he ran over, shouting in surprise, “Sister Shen!”
Su Minglang rolled over like a ball.
Shen Miao was speechless.
In fact, Su Minglang was already ten years old this year. Unlike Su Mingfeng, his mature brother, Su Minglang looked even more childish than a five or six-year-old child. After running a few steps, he was panting. Shen Miao walked up to him and held his chubby arm, asking, “What’s going on?”
“Sister Shen, are you leaving?” Su Minglang stammered for a while. “I’ll wait here for you to come back, okay?”
Shen Miao was stunned. After everyone here found out that Shen Xin was going to Spring City, the first thing they said was: When are you coming back or are you not coming back? Everyone always felt that if Shen Xin went, he might stay in Spring City forever. The first thing Su Minglang said was that he wanted to wait for her to come back, as if he was sure that Shen Miao would definitely return to the capital. Shen Miao found it interesting and tapped his forehead, deliberately teasing him. “Who said I would come back? Maybe I won’t.”
“No.” Su Minglang looked up and said matter of factly, “Sister Shen will definitely come back!”
Shen Miao tilted her head to look at him. When Su Minglang said this, his eyes were firm and did not have a trace of doubt. She asked, “Why are you so sure?”
“Brother Xie said that you would come back in less than two years!” Su Minglang said excitedly.
Brother Xie? Shen Miao thought for a moment. Xie Jingxing?
“My father said that General Shen angered His Majesty this time, and most likely, General Shen will never be summoned back again to the capital.” Su Minglang didn’t care if his words would hurt Shen Miao. He just continued, “But when Brother Xie came to see my brother, he told him that General Shen will definitely return to the capital in two years!”
Xie Jingxing… could actually read her thoughts so accurately. Shen Miao was a little frightened.
“Brother Xie is a very bad person. He bullied me, my brother, and my father… But what he said will always turn out to be true!” This was the first time Su Minglang spoke so fluently, as if he was proving something. He continued, “If he says that you will come back, you will come back. Sister Shen, right?” As he spoke, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Shen Miao immediately thought of Fu Ming and her heart softened. She smiled and said, “He’s right. I’ll come back.”
“That’s great!” Su Minglang jumped up and said word by word, “Then I’ll wait for you here. When you come back, I’ll treat you to candies, steamed sugar cake…”
Shen Miao couldn’t help but laugh. When she was with Su Minglang, it was as if some of her dark memories would be swept away in an instant. It was as if days had become carefree. She said, “Be a good boy. And… remember you can’t tell anyone else what we talked about today.”
When Su Minglang saw Shen Miao’s serious expression, he immediately said obediently, “Got it. I won’t tell anyone else.” He whispered to Shen Miao, “Sister Shen, but you can’t tell Brother Xie about this either. I eavesdropped on their conversation. If Brother Xie finds out that I eavesdropped, he’ll beat me up again.”
In the eyes of the second young master of the Su family, the elegant and noble Young Marquis of the Xie family was an out-and-out black-hearted bandit.
Shen Miao said, “Alright, I won’t tell him.”
