Chapter 37: His Questioning

action

“Young Mistress.” Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were somewhat vigilantly protected in front of Shen Miao and made gaffes with their somewhat loud shouts. Moreover this richly clad youth was extremely good-looking and noble that one could not help but be suspicious of this identity. At the end, he was a stranger, thus Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were afraid that something unexpected would happen.

“Gu Yu, Jing Zhe, go and guard at the entrance of the forest.” Shen Miao said.

“But Young Lady...” Both of them were somewhat hesitant.

“Go then.” Shen Miao slightly frowned. They did not know why but she was adept at giving orders, every time when orders were given to the servants, there would also be a unfathomable majesty to it, making others dare not refute to it.

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu could only retreat and guard at the entrance of the forest.

“You are indeed interesting.” Xie Jing Xing leaned against the tree trunk as he looked at her in amusement. He was clearly a noble and precious young master but unexpectedly he had a sharp vision like the bloodshed during battle and that monotonous tone had a cold chill in it. After all, he was one who seen blood in the battlefield.

“What does Marquis Xie want to say?” Shen Miao questioned. Xie Jing Xing suddenly appeared and naturally it was not for an idle chat. Although this person was young, his actions were decisive that even the old Marquis could not control him. The way he handle things were more presumptuous, making other unable to clearly understand his course of actions.

“Prince Yu residence is lacking of a Wangfei and that cripple seemed to take an interest in you so I wanted to say a word of congratulations.” His manner of speaking was unclear. However to use the term ‘cripple’ on Prince Yu could be considered as bold but coming from Xie Jing Xing, there was a trace of contempt and mockery as if Prince Yu was an extremely dirty thing and nothing more.

This person’s aspiration was very high.

Shen Miao was deeply in thoughts but on the surface it did not show any significant impact as if she had forgotten what this calm look would mean to the other’s eyes. Xie Jing Xing suddenly took a step forward. He had such a tall stature that Shen Miao entire self was covered by his shadow. That purple clad youth slightly lead forward and to her ears, “You indeed already knew about it.”

A scent of cold bamboo fragrance spread as his voice was deliberately suppressed as if it had some kind of ambiguous magnetic force. This action was also equivocal making Shen Miao raise her eyes as she look at that handsome face in front of her. The corner of his lips hooked up, adding some evil touch to his smile.

But she was after all not a real budding young lady. Her eyes slightly hang down as she said, “So what if I know and what if I don’t?”

When Xie Jing Xing saw that she remained nonchalance, he did not bother to continue to put on an appearance of a rich playboy and did not have even a trace of protective feelings for a female as he push her away. There was a piece of paper in his hands as he smiled a bit frivolously, “Knowing but not being anxious about your own matter but worry for Historian Adviser Jing’s Second Young Master?”

Shen Miao abruptly moved her line of sight and stared at him fixedly as she could not help but be a bit brutal with her tone, “Is Marquis Xie being too meddlesome?”

“You are actually nervous because of a piece of paper.” Xie Jing Xing restored that look of cynicism on his face, “What kind of relationship do you have with Historian Adviser Jing’s number two, to help me to this extend? Or perhaps... What is Little Shen Girl playing at?”

Shen Miao’s face was as deep as water as she quietly stared at the paper in Xie Jing Xing’s hands. The paper was very thin but it was as heavy as a rock in her heart.

That was her recalling for a long time before she could write the ‘Circulation of Law’. In her past lifetime, Pei Lang relied on this essay to be discovered by Fu Xiu Yi and afterwards became Fu Xiu Yi’s aide to advice strategies for the country.

And now when he had yet to reveal his talents, Shen Miao had to cut it off before that was possibility happened. Not only that, the most secure approach would be that Pei Lang would never serve in any capacity to the Imperial family.

As for the Historian Adviser Jing’s Second Young Master, Gao Yan, he was from a long line of aristocratic family clans that was rose to nobilities. Ming Qi’s Imperial family wanted to suppress the old aristocratic families clans, naturally have to support new nobilities. Historian Adviser Jing’s family was one of the newer significant support. Historian Adviser Jing’s eldest young master was a true talent that Fu Xiu Yi guided personally when he ascended the throne. Historian Adviser Jing’s family received such grace and became more rampant and overbearing that Gao Yan... Even dare to covet for her Wan Yu.

If she was not the Mistress of the Six Palaces and Fu Xiu Yi had yet to begin to deal with the Shen family, she was afraid that Wan Yu would have suffered brutal schemes. This Gao Yan’s talents were not as high as his elder brother but was very arrogant and always like to speak of his elder brother’s achievements like it was his own. His personality was very flawed and narrow minded, generally like a scoundrel who will stir shit up. In the past life Gao Yan did not enter the official circles and in this lifetime Historian Adviser Jing’s family have yet to reach the peak of their heydays. Gao Jing just entered the officialdom thus she used more energy to send Gao Yan into the magnanimous official circles.

She naturally took Pei Lang’s ‘Circulation of Law’ to give to Gao Yan because she knew that in every academy examinations, Gao Yan would let his servants to buy the examination papers outside. This year she let Gu Yu to arrange others to replace it to this essay. With Fu Xiu Yi’s personality of ‘cherishing talents’, he would definitely get him over to his side regardless of everything. As for that vain personality of Gao Yan, he would definitely not confess that this was not his handwriting. With such a person entering Ming Qi’s official circles... She would like to see when he meet Fu Xiu Yi, how these two people would be in a dogfight!

Cutting Fu Xiu Yi’s powerful arm and exchanging it with an empty brained stick of faeces. Shen Miao was playing with such a good idea like this but who knew that Xie Jing Xing would interrupt in the middle of it and make her plain fail for no good reason.

Her eyes were flickering as if thousands of words were all converged to a pair of beast’s eyes. Xie Jing Xing finally smiled and lazily spoke, “You need not necessary look at me with such a hateful expression. This paper was copied by my people and the originally copy is in the hands on that Gao family’s kid.”

Shen Miao was slightly surprised for a moment as she did not imagine that the result was as such. She looked at Xie Jing Xing and became silent for a moment before asking, “Little Marquis has a big heart.”

“Not big hearted, it is just that this marquis has a little self-recognition reputation,” Xie Jing Xing looked slightly cold, “Of not liking to meddle in other people’s affairs.”

Just as Shen Miao wanting to speak, she heard Xie Jing Xing’s voice again, “Now can you tell this marquis why you wrote to Historian Adviser Jing?”

Shen Miao sighed in her heart. Even though she had the heart to tie Shen and Xie families to the same boat, but now was still not the time yet. The Shen and Xie had long term discords between them and cannot be resolved overnight. It had to be conspired in a long draw-out plan but who knew that Xie Jing Xing got involve, disrupting the entire plan up.

She did not believe in anyone as she has her own road to walk. Be it Xie Jing Xing or Xie family, it was just a piece of chess in the chess game of the world. There would not be a chess player explaining things to a chess piece.

“This marquis thought that for you to help him this much, you must have some personal considerations with him and thus help your lover to snatch the limelight.” Xie Jing Xing smiled mischievously as he eyed Shen Miao up and down, “After some thinking, even though the number two of the Gao family was not worthy of respect, his eyes for females was indeed not bad.” He look at Shen Miao, she clearly had very beautiful features but was like the North-western desert that stings people.

“Furthermore to help Gao Yan meant helping Historian Adviser Jing’s reputation but you however did not help Gao Jing but instead that wastrel Gao Yan. Making it seem malicious and duplicitous.” He smile harboured malicious intentions but his words went straight to the target.

“Little Shen girl, do you have enmity with Historian Adviser Jing?”
