836 Saving Pei Lang (1)

Xie Jingxing fell silent.

Shen Miao knew that this reason was not convincing. Before she worked with Pei Lang, she and Pei Lang basically had nothing to do with each other. Even in Guangwen Hall, they did not get to interact much. The fact that she actually put so much faith in someone she barely knew made it hard for others not to find it strange.

Xie Jingxing was not a careless person. He was good at paying attention to all the details that were ignored and had a sharp intuition.

However, there were many things that Shen Miao couldn’t explain. She could not possibly tell him everything about her previous life. Not to mention whether Xie Jingxing would believe her or not, even she would find it unbelievable.

Shen Miao thought that Xie Jingxing would continue to ask, but he nodded and said, “Sure.”

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief.

The most comforting thing about interacting with Xie Jingxing was that before they became friends, Xie Jingxing would think of a way to find out all the secrets about her. However, after becoming friends, he respected her and would not force her to say what she was unwilling to say.

Of course, perhaps he could figure it out through his own method.

“However.” Xie Jingxing pondered for a moment and said, “There are many guards in Prince Ding’s mansion. It’s not that easy to save someone under Fu Xiuyi’s nose.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. “You want to do it yourself?”

“Otherwise?” His tone was neither happy nor angry, but it carried an inexplicable meaning. “I don’t dare to let anything happen to the person you personally asked me to save.”

Shen Miao looked at him worriedly. Xie Jingxing’s identity was already discovered by Princess Rong Xin and Su Mingfeng. However, the two of them still had some feelings for Xie Jingxing, but Fu Xiuyi was different. If Fu Xiuyi discovered Xie Jingxing’s identity, he would definitely use it to his advantage.

“You… be careful.” Shen Miao said, “I don’t want to become a widow right after marrying you.”

Xie Jingxing said, “How can you curse yourself like that?” He smiled ambiguously. “Don’t worry, you won’t become a widow.”

Shen Miao didn’t know what to say. She thought that he must be bluffing her again. Xie Jingxing was a cautious person, so he probably wouldn’t do it himself. She was thinking too much.

After chatting for a while, Luo Xueyan’s maid came over to tell them that lunch was ready. Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing walked out and had lunch with the rest of the Shen family harmoniously. Back then, Xie Jingxing even managed to make the no-nonsense Princess Rong Xin laugh, let alone Luo Xueyan, who liked to smile. He was knowledgeable and polite. Even Luo Ling could not help but agree with some of his opinions.

Even a picky person like Shen Xin found it hard to not like such a talented man. Shen Qiu was eager to spar with Prince Rui. Halfway through the meal, he said, “I’m full. Brother-in-law, I’ll spar with you later. We men can’t sit all day long. We have to get some exercise.”

Shen Miao put down her chopsticks. Luo Xueyan scolded, “Shen Qiu, are you itching for a beating? Do you want to spar with me?”

“Mother.” Shen Qiu said aggrievedly, “Don’t interfere with the matters of us young people.” He looked at Prince Rui and suddenly thought of something. “Oh, I almost forgot to ask. Brother-in-law, you know martial arts, right?”

“A little bit.” Xie Jingxing smiled at him.

Shen Qiu said seriously, “That’s good. After all, you are from the royal family. I think the martial arts master hired to train you is not bad. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go easy on you. However, I’ve been in the army for a long time and sparred with soldiers every day. If I accidentally hurt you…” He cupped his hands.” I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
