Shen Miao nodded. The water was very warm, making her feel sleepy. She lay on the bed, and Gu Yu served her at the side as she said, “I haven’t seen Madam smile like this for a long time.”

Shen Miao actually smiled a lot. Perhaps because she had been in the harem for a long time in her previous life, she knew very well that no matter how bleak the road ahead was, no matter how disadvantageous the situation was to her, she had to put on a smile. When the enemy saw her smile, they would not be able to figure out what she was thinking.

However, that smile was subconscious and not sincere. How could it be the same as a sincere smile?

At this moment, her eyes were curved, as if she had just eaten honey, making her already delicate and beautiful face look even more charming and making people unable to take their eyes off her.

Jingzhe noticed the red string on Shen Miao’s wrist. When Luo Tan gave Shen Miao the red string, Jingzhe was not present, so when she saw it now, she was very curious and said, “Madam, did you buy this red string on the street? It’s a little unique, but it doesn’t match your clothes.”

When Gu Yu saw this, she smiled and said, “I remember Putuo Temple sells such red strings as well. One copper coin for five strings. They said that it was used for people to wish for a good marriage.”

Jingzhe smiled. “Isn’t it too cheap?” She was also a little puzzled. “Madam, don’t you believe in supernatural things the most? Why did you buy this red string? But then again, if His Highness sees you wearing this red string, he will probably be unhappy again. He will definitely misunderstand and think you still want to have a marriage after marrying him.” Jingzhe was lively. At this moment, she imitated Xie Jingxing’s unhappy expression, making Shen Miao and Gu Yu laugh.

Gu Yu scolded with a smile, “You mischievous girl. Why are you making fun of His Highness?”

Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “Serve the food in Xie Jingxing’s room later.”

The two of them had always slept in separate rooms. Jingzhe was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “Madam, do you want to eat with His Highness?” She could not help but be happy for Shen Miao. These maids did not expect their relationship to improve by leaps and bounds after this calamity.

Shen Miao said, “This red string is very effective.”

“Eh?” Gu Yu looked at Shen Miao in surprise, not knowing whv she suddenlv said that.

Shen Miao looked at the red string and sighed softly. However, this time, her expression was relaxed.

This day would come sooner or later. This time, she was fully prepared. This life was different from her previous life, so she would still look forward to the future, but she would not bet all her future on one person.

She would grow up and become someone who could stand side by side with the person she liked and be equally powerful. She would protect what she wanted to protect and end the feud she wanted to end. It was that simple.

She asked Jingzhe to bring a handkerchief and said, “Help me make my hair.”

Xie Jingxing put on his inner clothes and walked out.

He had been bathing for a long time, and the water turned a little cold. When he was alone, there was no lazy smile on his face. Instead, there was a cold expression, which could not be seen clearly in the night. Under his usual cynical front, he was just indifferent to this world..
