“Why two days later?” Shen Miao asked.

“It’ll be the family banquet in two days. Coincidentally, Second Madam’s best friend is coming over to visit Second Madam…” Jingzhe did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious. Old Madam Shen wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were many people during the banquet to accuse Shen Qiu of molesting Jing Chuchu. How could Shen Qiu defend himself?

Just like in the previous life, Old Madam Shen’s method remained still not so brilliant.

“Send some words to Fu’er.” Shen Miao waved her hand and asked Jingzhe to lean over and whisper something in her ear.

“But we still have to get someone to keep an eye on it.” Shen Miao said, “We can’t afford to make a mistake.”

“I understand.” A trace of eagerness flashed across Jingzhe’s eyes. “I will definitely do this well.”

Shen Miao smiled faintly. “Don’t mess it up. They look like a match.” She reached out and gently knocked on the teacup in front of her. She looked calm and composed, like a superior monarch.

…

At night, in a manor hundreds of kilometers away from the capital, a person was sitting in the hall.

The people standing in the hall were all dressed in black and had long boots. Their aura and presence were intimidating. The person in the lead cupped his hands and said, “I didn’t do my job well and the words have been sent back. Master, please punish me.”

“Enough.” The young man sitting at the head of the table waved his hand lazily. He was dressed in purple and there were thin dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread at the corner of his robe. Under the light, the golden dragon seemed to be about to soar into the sky from the flowing purple clouds. He played with a woman’s hairpin in his hand. On his handsome and charming face, even his smile looked evil. Looking at him carefully, his intoxicating eyes were as cold as ice.

“You can’t keep it a secret forever.” Xie Jingxing said, “I don’t intend to hide it anymore. I’m just trying to buy time. Since the words have been sent back, time is even tighter now.”

“Master.” The leader of the men in black frowned and said, “The matters in the capital have not been settled. Time is tight. What do you plan to do?”

“Let’s not leave any trouble behind. First thing we need to do is,” He tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying casually, “Find a time to get rid of Xie Changwu and his brother.” Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were his half-brothers after all, but when Xie Jingxing said it, he did not hesitate at all, as if he was just dealing with strangers or even cats and dogs.

“Master?” The man in black was stunned and asked hesitantly, “You didn’t do anything for so many years. Why all of a sudden?”

“In the past, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. Now, the two of them wanted to make a move.” Xie Jingxing said, “I can’t leave in peace without getting rid of them first.”

“But Marquis Xie has already brought the two of them into the officialdom.” The man in black said, “These days, the two brothers have been by Marquis Xie’s side. I heard that Marquis Xie has already introduced them to his colleagues in the bureaucracy and instructed his colleagues to take good care of them. It’s not difficult to make a move, but alarming some people will be inevitable.”

“Xie Ding, that idiot!” Xie Jingxing’s expression darkened and his tone was a little angry. “He just can’t do anything right.”

When he called the Marquis of Lin’an by his name, the people below were not surprised at all, as if this was something natural.

The man in black cleared his throat and said, “Master, because you refused to be an official, Marquis Xie is afraid that there will be no successor to take on his position, so he asked the two of them to join him.”

Xie Jingxing had been rebellious for a long time. Xie Ding must be really helpless about it. Otherwise, with the Marquis of Lin’an’s personality, why would he give up on Xie Jingxing and let Xie Changwu take over his position?

“Forget it.” Xie Jingxing frowned. “Let’s wait for a while before dealing with the twin brothers. From today onwards, send someone to protect Princess Rong Xin in secret.”

“Master.” The man in black hesitated for a moment and only said when he made up his mind, “Since it will happen sooner or later, why don’t we cut ties with Princess Rong Xin now…”

“When is it your turn to teach me how to do things?” Xie Jingxing glanced at him. The latter immediately fell silent, feeling a chill run down his spine. “Whether she appreciates my help or not is her business. I’ve already done my best.”

His words were indifferent and ruthless. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked inexplicably terrifying.

He stood up, the corners of his robe moving slightly on the seat. “Do as planned.”

“I heard that Shen Yuan has already collected most of the evidence.” The man in black said, “I’m afraid once the new year is over, he will be done collecting the evidence and the Shen family will be targeted first.”

“Not bad.” Xie Jingxing shrugged. “If Shen Yuan needs help, help him secretly.”

“But Shen Yuan is Prince Ding’s man,” the man in black reminded him.

“Of course I know he’s Prince Ding’s man.” Xie Jingxing waved his hand. “I just want to use the Shen family as a shield for the time being.”
