Xie Zhaoan's unhappiness became more and more obvious, but he couldn't find a suitable point to vent, which made him look like a fool.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a low voice.
"Now that Jiang Wei is back, I think Miss Shen must have heard a lot of rumors outside during this period. This situation is difficult to break because both forces want his life, so his life is very valuable."
Shen Xining bit her lower lip. It was obviously not what she wanted to hear today.
"Since the Fourth Prince said that this situation is difficult to break, but did not say that it cannot be broken, then may I ask the Fourth Prince, how should we deal with this matter?"
Oh.
Originally, Xie Zhaoan called her over today to tell her what to do about this matter. After all, the two of them are now a community of interests. If any problem occurs to either party, the other party will become much more passive. However, now, because he is still angry and he has always been a vengeful person, he looks at Shen Xining with a joking attitude.
"Miss Shen is really smart, and even looks smarter than she actually is. In that case, why don't you tell me, Miss Shen, what would you do if it were you?"
Shen Xining's face suddenly turned pale. She had taken all the possibilities into account at home during this period of time, but without exception, all the results required Xie Zhaoan to take action. If he took action, and if Xie Zhaoan had enough troops, Jiang Wei would have a chance to survive.
But now, what does Xie Zhaoan mean by saying this? Does he mean he is unwilling to take action
Shen Xining wanted to say something, but she felt as if her throat was blocked and she couldn't make any sound. She and Jiang Wei had been together for more than ten years. If there was some affection between them before, now to Shen Xining, Jiang Wei was more like her own relative, a relative who would always stand by her side no matter what stupid things she did. Now, Shen Xining couldn't bear to watch Jiang Wei die.
She didn't want to do it either.
Shen Xining is so smart, how could she not see that Xie Zhaoan was making things difficult for her? She pursed her lips and whispered.
"What does the Fourth Prince mean? Does the Fourth Prince have a better solution? If the Moon Shadow Guards under the Fourth Prince are willing to take action at this time..."
As soon as Shen Xining uttered the three words "Moon Shadow Guard", Yue Wei put the sword in his hand directly on her neck. No matter how good the relationship between the two of them was, as long as Shen Xining mentioned "Moon Shadow Guard", it would definitely not work.
In the hearts of the Moon Shadow Guards, nothing can surpass them.
Xie Zhaoan raised his hand, signaling Yuewei to put down the sword in his hand, and the mockery in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"I said Miss Shen was a smart person, but I never thought that Miss Shen was so smart. You didn't tell me before that you have always known about my Moon Shadow Guard, but you should also know that the Moon Shadow Guard cannot be dispatched at will."
Shen Xining pursed his lips.
"But Jiang Wei is indispensable to the accomplishment of your great cause."
"Is it really necessary? The current emperor and the crown prince who is about to ascend the throne are both eyeing Jiang Wei covetously. If I am doing this for my own cause, don't you think that some people really cannot be kept?"
Shen Xining looked at Xie Zhaoan, and her originally calm expression suddenly collapsed at this moment. Her big eyes were almost instantly filled with tears. Looking at Xie Zhaoan in front of her, her eyes were full of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that Xie Zhaoan was so ruthless.
The woman was already beautiful, and now with tears hanging on her eyelashes, she looked even more extraordinarily beautiful, as if she wanted to take Xie Zhaoan's life as well.
Xie Zhaoan narrowed his eyes and signaled Yuewei to leave. He secretly didn't want others to see Shen Xining's current appearance.
However, when they were alone, Xie Zhaoan stood up, wiped the woman's tears with his rough fingers, lifted her chin with his fan, and said with a sneer.
"You know what? I've always been kind to women, but these tears you shed weren't for me. Do you think I'll still pity you? Shen Xining, take back your tears, especially these worthless tears."
Because Shen Xining's chin was raised, her tears were really held back. She looked at Xie Zhaoan with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. Xie Zhaoan sneered in his heart. Looking at Shen Xining's stubborn appearance, he felt a nameless anger rising in his heart. He was determined to wipe out all the sharpness and stubbornness in her heart.
"Ms. Shen, today is the third time I have praised you for being smart. Smart people always emphasize stopping at the right point when talking to each other. The rest of the way depends on what you choose, Miss Shen."
After saying that, Xie Zhaoan put his cloak on her shoulders. The cloak carried a masculine scent, cold but not sad. Shen Xining smelled it and found it was still as refreshing as ever. However, this did not prevent him from having bad intentions.
Shen Xining walked out of the pavilion and got on the carriage. Not long after the carriage left, she threw the cloak in her hand directly to the ground. Chun Xing was stunned looking at the cloak. She naturally realized that the cloak was not her own lady's. She had just met Xie Zhaoan, so the cloak could only be Xie Zhaoan's.
Is it really okay to lose it like this
Shen Xining breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Since that man had bullied her so much, it would not be excessive for her to retaliate against him.
She knew that Xie Zhaoan would definitely know about this, so she threw it away so resolutely. If it was in the Shen Mansion, Xie Zhaoan might not have seen her throwing the cloak away, but if it was on the street, his men would definitely see it.
She cried just now partly because she was really worried about Jiang Wei's matter. The news of his return to Beijing was spread about half a year ago. During the past six months, the whole capital was buzzing with this matter, and everyone knew about it. Shen Xining started to worry from that day, but she couldn't find a solution, so she could only wait for Xie Zhaoan to come to her. Who knew that he was just teasing her the whole time.
On the other hand, she did intend to use her beauty to confuse Xie Zhaoan. From childhood to adulthood, her name was known to everyone in Kyoto, and she had some understanding of her own beauty. She just didn't expect that Xie Zhaoan would easily expose her tracks, and she was somewhat shy.
No matter what the reason was, Shen Xining felt that he had made good use of it by throwing away his robe.
