640 Return (3)
After reaching this stage, it would be very difficult for the two of them to turn back. Reunion of husband and wife after a divorce only happened in romantic stories. Shen Miao felt that in her previous life, there were many things that she could not see clearly in the harem. Now that she looked at it from a different angle, as an outsider, she could see it clearly. However, Shen Miao was not in a good mood after having her enemy wrapped around her fingers. Perhaps it was because she also thought that when Consort Mei looked at her back then, it might be the same way she looked at Chen Ruoqiu now.
“Don’t worry.” After a pause, she said, “It won’t be that easy to find out.” She handed this matter to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop. Since Ji Yushu had taken her money, he would definitely take care of this matter flawlessly. The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop had been doing business in the capital for so long, so it was impossible for them not to know about this.
Jingzhe stopped talking. Seeing that the window outside was open, she got up and was about to close it. As she walked over, she said, “Why did Gu Yu forget to close the window every time? It’s cold out there. What if Miss catches a cold?”
“Wait.” Shen Miao stopped her and glanced at the window. “Let’s get some fresh air. It’s very stuffy in the room. I’ll close it myself later.”
Seeing Shen Miao’s firm gaze, Jingzhe found it strange. The room was clearly not stuffy at all. However, she didn’t say anything. She helped Shen Miao light a new candle and said, “Miss, rest early.”
With that, Jingzhe left.
Shen Miao looked at the flickering candle and picked it up. She was about to walk to the bed when the candle flame suddenly swayed as if it was blown by the wind.
A familiar voice sounded, carrying a teasing and lazy tone that she had not heard for a long time. “Didn’t you specially leave the door open for me? Why are you going to the bed to sleep?”
Shen Miao turned around. The young man was leaning against the window sill with one hand supporting his chin. His beautiful eyes looked over casually, lazy and charming. Seeing that Shen Miao was slightly stunned, he jumped into the room and casually snatched the candle from Shen Miao’s hand. He walked to the table and sat down.
HIs movements were smooth, as if he was entering his own bedroom.
“You’re back?” Shen Miao asked.
“Tsk.” Xie Jingxing stared at her and said with a faint smile, “Why, do you miss me?”
Shen Miao was used to his frivolous and ambiguous attitude, so she ignored him. She walked to the table and sat down. Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, “You did a good job handling Chen Ruoqiu.”
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at him. “How did you know?” Xie Jingxing had spies all over the capital. Moreover, Ji Yushu from the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop was related to Xie Jingxing. It was only natural for Ji Yushu to inform Xie Jingxing everything. At this point, Shen Miao no longer cared.
“No wonder you had that attitude towards Chang Zaiqing when she just arrived at the capital,” Xie Jingxing muttered to himself. He glanced at Shen Miao again and said with a sigh, “What a scheming woman she is.”
Shen Miao did not comment. Xie Jingxing seemed to have thought of something and took out a box from somewhere and threw it into Shen Miao’s arms.
Shen Miao was almost hit by the box and felt that the small box was heavy. She subconsciously caught it and saw that there was a big tiger carved on the surface of the box. The tiger was lifelike and looked a little cute, but it was brandishing its claws, also looking ferocious. At the thought of the white tiger called Jiaojiao that Xie Jingxing raised, Shen Miao puffed out her cheeks and opened the box.
As soon as she opened it, she was almost dazzled by the colorful things in the box. The box was filled with all kinds of well-made jewelry. Each of them was worth a thousand gold. Why did Xie Jingxing send her jewelry for no reason? Shen Miao looked at him and shook her head. “I don’t need jewelry.”
