This puzzle remained unsolved not even until she saw Shen Qiu and returned to the Shen family in the evening. On the other hand, when Shen Qiu saw that Shen Miao had been in a daze since she came out of Prince Yu’s mansion, he thought that Shen Miao was frightened by the tragic scene. He instructed the kitchen to make a calming soup and was scolded by Luo Xueyan for bringing Shen Miao to that kind of a gruesome place.

On the other side, Gao Yang looked at the wound on Xie Jingxing in shock. “That girl is too ruthless.”

Xie Jingxing took off his outer robe and only wore an undergarment. The collar of the Undergarment was loose, revealing half of his firm and robust body. His sleeves were rolled up halfway, and the wound on his exposed arm was so deep that the bone was visible. As Xie Jingxing let Gao Yang apply medicine for him, he played with the hairpin in his hand.

The hairpin was an ordinary silver hairpin with simple wavy patterns on it. However, the tip of the hairpin was extremely sharp, comparable to a silver needle used as a hidden weapon. If such a hairpin was stabbed into a person’s body, it would definitely tear off a large piece of flesh.

“Why is that girl so vicious? She doesn’t look like Shen Xin’s daughter at all.” Gao Yang was still very surprised. “Look, she didn’t hold back when she attacked. It even went into your flesh.” He sprinkled the powder evenly on the wound. Xie Jingxing frowned and gasped.

“Even if it hurts, you have to bear with it.” Gao Yang said angrily, “Xie, I’ve been with you for so many years, but I’ve never seen you show any mercy to a woman. Why did you do something like this today? She ran into us in the secret room and even hurt you, but you let her go just like that. I mean,” Gao Yang rubbed his chin, “Do you like her? She’s still a little girl. She doesn’t have anything that a woman has. Are you out of your mind?”

Xie Jingxing said impatiently, “Enough. I’m not so shameless as to bully a little girl.”

“You make it sound like you’ve never bullied a little girl before.” Gao Yang sneered. “I really don’t understand what you’re thinking.” He wrapped the bandage carefully around Xie Jingxing’s arm and sighed. “Now that we’ve got it, what’s next?”

“Find more,” Xie Jingxing said.

“The Fu family will find out sooner or later.” Gao Yang frowned. “Actually, what I find most strange is how Shen Miao knew about the secret room. If she’s siding with the Fu family, you’ll be done for.”

“She has a grudge against the Fu family,” Xie Jingxing said lazily. “She wants to use me to kill people. As for how she found it, it’s probably a coincidence.” A sharp glint flashed across his eyes. He did not believe Shen Miao’s words at all. Shen Miao already had a motive for doing what she did, which could be seen from the way she dealt with Shen Qing and Prince Yu. He had a bold guess that the reason Shen Miao wanted to get rid of Prince Yu was because of the thing in his hand.

However, how did she know? Even he and Gao Yang had just found out not long ago, and it took a lot of effort. Shen Miao was just a young girl. How did she know so many secrets?

“In short, it’s better to be careful.” Gao Yang stood up and picked up the remaining medicine and bandages. He said as he walked out of the room, “Besides, now that she has discovered my identity, I wonder what will happen in the future.”
