Su Mingfeng staggered away. When he left, he seemed to have suffered a huge blow and was battered out of his senses.

Shen Miao wanted to say a few words to Xie Jingxing, but Xie Jingxing returned to his usual casual self and urged her to return home to rest early. Shen Miao had no choice but to do as he said.

A person like Xie Jingxing probably did not like to expose his weakness to others, so in the eyes of outsiders, he was still powerful and omnipotent.

However, Shen Miao could tell something from his words “Most importantly, Ming Qi didn’t nurture me. Ming Qi killed me”.

When she returned home, Shen Miao was still thinking about this. What did Xie Jingxing mean when he said Ming Qi almost killed him? What appeared in Shen Miao’s mind was what happened in her previous life.

In her previous life, the Marquis of Lin’an fell in the end. Xie Ding and Xie Jingxing both died in battle, and only Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were left and were promoted. Now, in this life, although the Xie family’s three sons were gone, at least Xie Ding was still around. As long as Xie Ding was around, the Marquis of Lin’an would not fall. If Xie Ding wanted to remarry, it was possible for him to have another son at this age. Although his life was miserable as of now, it was still much better than death.

What was different about this life from her previous life? The changes seemed to have emerged two years ago. In her previous life, Xie Jingxing did not go to the northern border two years ago, but rather a few years later. The advancement of the event seemed to have caused some changes. Then what exactly caused Xie Jingxing to make this decision?

Was it because of her? Shen Miao pondered. But what did Ming Qi have to do with it?

In her previous life, when Shen Miao found out about the death of the Xie family, she sighed deeply. She had once wondered if the royal family was involved in it, but she was unwilling to investigate further. The Xie father and son had always been loyal to Ming Qi. If they were killed just because the royal family was wary of them, then the royal family was too heartless.

At this moment, this guess appeared in her mind again.

What if getting rid of the Xie father and son in battle had always been the plan of the royal family from the beginning? Because Xie Jingxing took the initiative to go to war in advance, this “plan” was brought forward.

The royal family set up a trap for Xie Jingxing that caused him to “die in battle. However, at this moment, Xie Ding was still alive. Not only that, but Xie Ding also had two sons. The royal family’s ambition to deal with the Marquis of Lin’an did not disappear. Fortunately, after Xie Jingxing died, Xie Ding could not recover from the setback. Therefore, there was no hurry for the royal family to execute the plan to eradicate the Marquis of Lin’an.

Two years later, the two illegitimate sons of the Xie family died in an accident. From then on, Xie Ding had no chance of making a comeback, so it was fine to keep him alive. The royal family changed their previous plan and even took the initiative to comfort him to show that the royal family was benevolent and sympathetic to their officials.

If Xie Jingxing had already predicted everything that would happen in the future, then going to war two years ago was not an impulsive decision. Just like what he told Su Mingfeng, this was the only way to protect the Marquis of Lin’an.

However, these were all just Shen Miao’s thoughts. No one knew the truth. She thought that she would find a chance to ask Xie Jingxing. In her previous life, she did not want to delve into it, but in this life, she was really curious.
