Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 691 - 691 Suspicion (6)

691 Suspicion (6)

Hearing Su Minglang’s words, the Su couple was half happy and half worried. They were happy that Su Mingfeng was normal and liked women. What worried them was that the person Su Mingfeng liked was Shen Xin’s daughter. Shen Xin held a lot of power. If they became in-laws with Shen Xin, once Emperor Wen Hui was prepared to deal with Shen Xin, the Su family would be in trouble too.

At the thought of this, they felt a headache coming on. Mrs. Su was considerate and said, “Don’t be anxious. Minglang didn’t make it clear. If Mingfeng really likes Miss Shen, he will definitely do something. Jin Feng, go and call all the servants in Young Master’s courtyard over. I have something to ask them.”

In the room, Su Mingfeng paced back and forth.

He was not wrong. Even just a glance was enough for him to see it clearly and figure it out. The jade bracelet on Shen Miao’s wrist was clearly a tiger head bracelet.

There were a total of two Tiger Head Rings. One was in the hand of Princess Rong Xin, and the other appeared on Shen Miao. Su Mingfeng had always thought that the second one would not appear because Xie Jingxing was dead.

In the world, only Xie Jingxing knew how to make the tiger head bracelet.

At that time, Su Mingfeng and Xie Jingxing were still young boys. One day, Su Minglang saw Xie Jingxing take something that looked like a bracelet to sharpen and grind it, and he even mocked him. In fact, he was very curious. Su Mingfeng knew Xie Jingxing well. Although Xie Jingxing was handsome and cynical, he was actually not interested in these gorgeous accessories at all, let alone women’s items. Out of curiosity, Su Mingfeng asked. Xie Jingxing rolled his eyes at him and said that it was actually a hidden weapon.

Later, Su Mingfeng nagged at Xie Jingxing to show it to him. The bracelet was connected by two separate parts, but there was a weapon hidden inside. It was a poisonous needle that could be used for self-defense.

Su Mingfeng found it interesting and wanted it. Xie Jingxing said disdainfully, “This is for women. Why does a man like you want to wear it?”

Su Mingfeng gave up. Later, he saw Xie Jingxing give the bracelet to Princess Rong Xin. Ever since Princess Yuqing died, Princess Rong Xin doted on Xie Jingxing very much. Xie Jingxing was very close to her, so it was understandable that he gave it to Princess Rong Xin.

Why was it called the Tiger Head Bracelet? It was precisely because Xie Jingxing had carved a tiger head on it. His carving skills were not good, and the tiger head looked similar to a dog head. Su Mingfeng mocked him, but Princess Rong Xin liked it very much.

Xie Jingxing wanted to make another one, but the jade was very difficult to find, and he never found it. Two years ago, Su Mingfeng found a raw jade for him from a rich merchant, but the jade quality was not as good as the previous one. There were faint white marks. Before Xie Jingxing went to war, he took that raw jade and said that when he was bored on the way, he would make a tiger head bracelet. Unexpectedly, after he left, he never got to return home.

The tiger head bracelet Shen Miao had had faint white marks on it. It had the same usage and the same workmanship, and the ugly carving was undoubtedly done by Xie Jingxing.

Xie Jingxing left the capital two years ago. Shen Xin went to the Northwest two years ago. Shen Xin left first, and Xie Jingxing left after that. Could it be that Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing had met in the past two years?

But at that time, Xie Jingxing was already dead!

Moreover, the carving on the bracelet looked new. It seemed like it had not been polished for long and was not smooth enough.

Su Mingfeng’s heart was pounding. He instructed his servant, “Get a few people to keep an eye on Fifth Miss Shen outside Shen Xin’s mansion. I want to know everyone she meets and every place she goes.”

Su Mingfeng naturally did not know how shocked his parents would be when they heard this.

“Oh my god.” Su Yu said, “Mingfeng is really in love with her!”

“I thought that Mingfeng didn’t look like someone who would do something so rash as snatching a woman’s jewelry. I thought Minglang was spouting nonsense, but I didn’t expect it to be true.” Mrs. Su felt a headache coming on. She took a sip of tea and said, “Why does he behave so strangely, nothing like who he usually was? He even sent people to monitor Fifth Miss Shen. This is not how you should woo a girl.”

“Maybe he’s been rejected and still won’t give up.” Su Yu sighed. “This child is like me.”

Mrs. Su rolled her eyes at him. “In that case, Mingfeng will lose hope to live if he can’t marry her. We have to send an invitation to the Shen family first.”

“An invitation for what?” Su Yu was puzzled.

“What else for? Of course to matchmake your son with her,” Mrs. Su said.
