Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 967 - 967 Good Intention (6)



967 Good Intention (6)

He is not doubting you, but himself!

Shen Miao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She felt as if a flower had bloomed in her heart because of this simple sentence.

“Master will also question himself. He will question if he’s done something wrong and if you’re dissatisfied with him. With all these doubts added together, he will question your feelings towards him. Do you still want to hide your feelings?”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes slightly, but her heart began to race.

Xie Jingxing was a proud person. He had survived the harshest battlefields and the nastiest schemes. At a young age, a heavy burden was thrown upon him. His family, brothers, and friends were distant and no one believed him. All this made him look like a cynic who didn’t care about anything.

However, people tended to forget he also had the sincerity and naivety of a young man, just like how he treated Su Mingfeng, Princess Rong Xin, and even the Marquis of Lin’an.

He was so proud that he refused to tell people everything, but he was doing everything without people knowing. Such a person would not be involved with people like Li Mei and Li Ke in her previous life and this life. She should not have doubted him in the first place. Her distrust came from her lack of confidence in herself.

Shen Miao closed her eyes.

People would always become extremely sensitive when it came to things they cared about the most. She was in love with Xie Jingxing, which was why she was afraid that Xie Jingxing would be involved with Li Mei.

She seemed to have done something wrong. Fortunately, there was still a chance to make up for it.

Seeing the change in Shen Miao’s expression, Ba Jiao suddenly smiled. “Madam, I hope you can calm Master down. Master has been very erratic these days. The people of the Black Feather Army are also having a hard time.”

Shen Miao nodded and smiled. “I understand.”

“But,” Ba Jiao hesitated for a moment before asking, “Madam, do you… have a grudge against the siblings of the Ye family?”

Shen Miao was stunned. “Why do you say that?” Everyone in Prince Rui’s mansion knew about her cold attitude towards the Ye siblings, and everyone was guessing. However, this was the first time they had met after all. Everyone said that Shen Miao was jealous of Ye Mei’s beauty. Although it was ridiculous, they could not find any other reason. It was a surprise that Ba Jiao had a different guess from others.

“You’re too cold to that pair of siblings. Master has been getting people to investigate their background these days, but they don’t seem to have found anything. So… Madam?”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Firstly, she was surprised that Xie Jingxing was actually investigating the background of Ye Mei and her brother in private. Secondly, even Xie Jingxing could not find anything wrong with them, which meant that they might really be innocent.

“You are right.” Shen Miao said, “However… This matter is very important. Let’s not talk about it for now.”

Ba Jiao nodded thoughtfully and looked at Shen Miao with a smile. “It’s good that Madam has thought it through. Madam, don’t hide your feelings. Master can’t tell because he’s in a fit of anger. However, when we accompanied Madam to look for the strange Daoist priest that day, we all saw it clearly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell how concerned you were, so there’s no need to hide it.” She winked at Shen Miao. “Master’s birthday is on the third day of next month. In the past, there would be a banquet at Bixiao Restaurant. It’s the same this year. If Madam wants to prepare a birthday gift, you have to hurry up.”

Before Shen Miao could speak, Ba Jiao added, “Master is very easy to coax. If you really don’t know how, Madam, make a bowl of noodles yourself. I guarantee that Master will calm down! Of course, the most important thing is that you don’t hide your feelings!” With that, she ran away.

Shen Miao laughed when she saw the door closing.

She felt much more relaxed than a few days ago.

Since there were some things that could not be avoided, she would face them head-on. For example, the blood feud that could not be reconciled, or… the feelings she had been hiding.
