Chapter 239 – Softening (5)

Xie Jingxing stayed alone in the room, he aimed the hairpin in his hand at the dancing flames in the lamp and scrutinized it thoughtfully. A few moments later, his mind was conjuring up the appearance of the young girl in the secret room, her eyes wide open, shedding silent tears.

He is not a person of pity, not to Shen Miao started other thoughts, just in that moment, but also inexplicably gave birth to a wave of intolerance. This kind of intolerance finally broke his usual calm approach, now think about it, but some regret. The arm after the medicine after the wound some numbness, more some pain, the other hand down the time but not at all soft, if not he dodged fast, this hairpin fell on the face may also say.

In fact, Shen Miao shed tears, perhaps also just a means. Xie Jingxing knows in his heart, that young girl is crafty, and her mind is sensitive and intelligent, and the means that she used under the surprise, but it has a marvelous ability. Suddenly show weakness, about also want to ask for life.

Xie Jingxing spread out his hand, the silver hairpin flashed with a tiny clear glow in his palm, but it reminded one of the time when this hand covered a pair of eyes, the furry touch of his palm, like a fluttering butterfly that was about to dance in his palm, and it was that moment of vulnerability that gave birth to some strange sympathy in his heart that shouldn’t have belonged to him.

“Little Poisonous Woman,” Xie Jingxing suddenly smiled, under the lamplight, the young man’s handsome brows forced a striking glance, the smile at the corner of his lips was playful, and he murmured, “Shouldn’t have been soft-hearted.”

……

Shenfu’s East Courtyard, at the moment, is a mess.

Inside the Rongjing Hall, Old Lady Shen’s face was somber as she looked at Shen Gui and said, “In that case, there’s no way for girl Qing to come out?”

Shen Gui shook his head, “Prince Yu’s residence was wiped out overnight, leaving Qing’er alone. No matter how you say it, you can’t escape the blame, the case will have to be tried again.”

“Besides such a big matter, I don’t know if His Majesty will blame us.” Old Lady Shen worriedly said, “What’s wrong with that girl Qing’er, does this matter really have nothing to do with her?” In and out of her words, she was actually very skeptical of Shen Qing.

Ren wanyun exploded at the words, she jumped in front of old madam Shen and knelt down at once, scaring old madam Shen, Ren wanyun cried: ”Old madam, Qing’er is the one you watched grow up, what kind of nature is she that you don’t know yet, how could she do such a thing. Besides, what skills does Qing’er have to get involved with such a powerful person. It is clear that Prince Yu’s House has made enemies of its own, Qing’er is just lucky to have picked up a life, we have already apologized to her, we must not leave her alone.”

Ren Wan Yun and Mrs. Shen as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, to Mrs. Shen’s temperament also understand clearly, Mrs. Shen’s bones are extremely selfish, the most is to see the wind and make the rudder. Even if there are three or two feelings for Shen Qing, when the time comes to protect oneself, will not hesitate to abandon Shen Qing. Renanyun sometimes feel that Shen Gui is such a heartless person, but because his bones flow with the blood of the old lady Shen, so the selfish temperament is exactly the same.

After Old Lady Shen heard Ren Wan Yun’s words, she became more and more enraged and said: ”Eldest daughter-in-law, you’re saying this in a strange way. Where have we wronged girl Qing? Was it me who forced her to fornicate with Prince Yu, was it me who forced her to conceive a child without shame? I didn’t teach her any of these rules!”

Shen old lady was originally a songstress out of voice, people who mix in the marketplace, the words naturally not very good, even if Ren wanyun bones and then spirited, but also by the Shen old lady this kind of unforgiving words of the people of the gas, she said: “Mother! How can you say this about Qing’er, she is your granddaughter!”

Chen Ruoqiu opened her mouth to persuade, “Second sister-in-law, say less, mother is also worried about Qing’er before she was angered, everyone knows that out of the three first born girls, mother’s favorite is sister Qing’er.”
