Chapter 95 Conspiracy to Counterattack
Now there is only her and Xie Lingxiao here. If he wants to ask her, she will think about how to tell him then.
"Xie Lingxiao, do you believe me?" Shen Jingxuan looked into his eyes and asked seriously.
Xie Lingxiao replied, "I believe you." I don't believe anyone else, but I believe you. He added silently in his heart but didn't say it out loud.
"Then can you wait for me outside and help me watch the people outside?"
Shen Jingxuan expressed her thoughts, thinking that Xie Lingxiao would ask some questions, but she didn't expect him to just respond and walk out.
Shen Jingxuan felt a little warm in her heart. She wondered how much he trusted her that he left without even asking any questions.
She didn't dare to delay too long and walked quickly inside. Everywhere she passed became empty.
But for some reason, she was standing at the very end, where there was an object that had fallen on the ground, and no matter what she did, she couldn't take it away.
She walked over curiously and tried to pick it up but to no avail. Shen Jingxuan stepped on it angrily.
Since she couldn't take it away, she could only leave it at the Prime Minister's Mansion. She turned around and continued to collect other things.
Just after she took two steps, a wall beside her slowly opened. Shen Jingxuan curiously stuck her head in to see what was going on.
However, he found that the area inside was not very large, and there were no valuable items. There were only a few small boxes in sight, and the boxes did not look valuable from their appearance.
She couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of valuable thing could it be that needed to be stored in a secret room?
Shen Jingxuan opened a box casually and was stunned.
She didn't expect that the box was full of banknotes. It seemed that the Prime Minister's Mansion had made all the necessary preparations and even separated the belongings.
After she had put away all the things, she checked again and found that nothing was missing, then opened the door and walked out.
When Shen Jingxuan opened the door, she deliberately left only a crack big enough for someone to pass through, then slipped out and quickly closed the door.
But even so, when Xie Lingxiao looked up, he still saw that the door that flashed by had become empty.
Before he could take a closer look, the door closed and Shen Jingxuan pulled him away from the Prime Minister's Mansion in an instant.
Xie Lingxiao's thoughts were in a mess, he had always known that Shen Jingxuan had a secret.
But she was clearly alone in there just now, so where did all the things in the warehouse go?
He was puzzled and wanted to ask her in detail, but he felt that he shouldn't explore her affairs and make her hate him.
He was thinking about something and didn't notice that Shen Jingxuan had already sent him to the Regent's Palace.
"You go in, I have to go back home too."
Shen Jingxuan's voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up at the gate of the palace, but had no intention of entering.
He took Shen Jingxuan and brought her to the study: "I have something to ask you, and I will take you back home after that."
Shen Jingxuan felt a little guilty, so she found a chair and sat down, lowering her head and not saying anything. In fact, she was worried.
She was afraid that Xie Lingxiao would ask her about what happened just now, but she didn't know how to answer him.
"We can only leave it like this for now. We'll look for another opportunity later. What about Shen Jinghuan? Have you figured out how to deal with her?"
Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, Xie Lingxiao knew that she was worried about what he would ask about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and he also knew that in Shen Jingxuan's heart, she didn't care about him.
If she really placed him in a very important position, she would tell him even without asking.
"I've asked Li Yong and Yang Rui to do it, but I always feel it's not enough, and there's no complete solution." Shen Jingxuan said truthfully.
She told Xie Lingxiao all her plans and waited for him to express his thoughts.
"This is still a little lacking," Xie Lingxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Did you bring my jade pendant?"
Shen Jingxuan thought he wanted to take back the jade pendant, her almond eyes flickered, and she glanced at Xie Lingxiao: "I didn't bring it."
She didn't know why, but she didn't want to return the jade pendant to him easily. Although it had been kept in the space, she had never touched it.
Xie Lingxiao laughed angrily: "You took it, so you don't want to return the jade pendant to me?"
Did she know the meaning of holding his jade pendant? Only when you are interested in someone will you give the jade pendant to them, which is something everyone knows.
Or, she knew this was the case and deliberately didn't want to return the jade pendant to him. Could it be that she also had feelings for him?
Thinking of her carrying his jade pendant with her, Xie Lingxiao's tone softened: "Don't worry, I'll return it to you after you use it."
Shen Jingxuan stared at him and asked doubtfully, "Really? Don't lie to me."
"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao took Shen Jingxuan out again. When he sent Shen Jingxuan back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it was already a little light in the sky.
Shen Jingxuan was exhausted that night. She fell asleep on the couch without caring whether Xie Lingxiao left or not.
Xie Lingxiao stood beside the couch, his heart softened as he watched her sleeping. He thought, how nice it would be if he could always watch her like this.
He suppressed his reluctance and turned back to the Regent's Palace. By the time he had given Ling Feng all the instructions, it was already dawn.
Xie Lingxiao raised the corner of his mouth helplessly. The little girl went back and fell asleep immediately, and he could only help her deal with the follow-up matters.
At this time, it was not suitable to go to bed, so he had to continue dealing with other things in the study.
Shen Jingxuan was awakened by the noisy footsteps outside, so she had to get up and open the door to let the people outside in.
Chuntao ran in happily with Li Yong and Yang Rui, looking at Shen Jingxuan with a smile.
"Are there any results? Everyone is so happy."
She also didn't expect that Xie Lingxiao would act so quickly. She had only slept for two hours, and everything was already arranged.
Chun Tao pulled Shen Jingxuan to start dressing up: "Miss, hurry up and get ready. Let's go and watch the fun later, okay?"
"You just want to watch the fun. Have you arranged accommodation for Li Yong and Yang Rui?"
When Shen Jingxuan saw Chuntao's silly look, she knew that she had forgotten about this matter. Since the two of them were going to follow her, they had to make proper arrangements.
"I, I forgot." After saying that, she hurried out the door without even bothering to dress up.
Shen Jingxuan stopped her and ordered, "Chun Tao, arrange a room for Chen Yi as well. We never know when he will come, so we need to make other arrangements."
"Miss, I would like to thank you on behalf of Chen Yi." Li Yong said gratefully.
Shen Jingxuan tied her hair casually and asked, "Okay, it's not a big deal. What's the situation outside now?"
"The Prince Regent's Mansion went to the government office early this morning to report that something important seemed to be missing."
"When we came back, they were still discussing solutions at the government office."
Shen Jingxuan's lips curled up: "We should have finished discussing this by now, right?"
"Go and call Chuntao, ask her to come back and arrange a yard for you. Let's go to the government office."
After Yang Rui called Chuntao over, Shen Jingxuan and the other four left the house and headed towards the government office.
This time she wanted to see how Shen Jinghuan, as a concubine, would turn the tables.
