Chapter 102: Joy in the Heart
Thinking of this, something seemed to flash through Shen Jingxuan's mind, but when she searched carefully, she could not figure it out.
She paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about Shen Jiande, but still didn't get an answer.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of a solution. She even forgot to inform Chuntao and left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion directly.
Shen Jingxuan stood in front of the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace. What caught her eye was the bright red lacquered gate with a black nanmu plaque hanging on the top, on which were written the characters "Prince Regent's Palace" in a flamboyant manner.
She stepped forward and told the gate guard her identity. The guard asked her to wait for a moment and then went into the mansion to deliver the message.
Shen Jingxuan stood in front of the Regent's palace and waited quietly. After waiting for half a minute, the door of the palace still did not open.
On the other side, the guard walked towards Xie Lingxiao's study. When he saw Ling Feng coming towards him, he told him that Shen Jingxuan came to request a meeting.
Ling Feng didn't care about the person who delivered the message and ran to the study. He was so excited that he even forgot to knock on the door and rushed directly into the study.
His action startled Xie Lingxiao, who instantly stood up and walked towards Ling Feng: "But what big thing happened?"
"Master, Miss Shen is here and wants to see you at the mansion gate." Ling Feng was panting at this time, looking at Xie Lingxiao with bright eyes.
Ling Feng felt an inexplicable expectation in his heart. Thinking of how his master had interacted with Miss Shen the last two times, the corners of his mouth stretched out in a grimace.
Xie Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, then disappeared into the study. When Ling Feng chased him out, his master was nowhere to be seen.
He quickly came to the gate of the mansion and paused, feeling excited and happy, and a little expectant.
Xie Lingxiao glanced down, and because he had just hurried here, his clothes were a little messy, so he quickly straightened them out and walked out of the house.
He looked at Shen Jingxuan who had already turned to leave and stopped her, "Miss Shen, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Shen Jingxuan turned around suddenly, and before she could retract her slightly frowned brows, she saw Xie Lingxiao walking towards her.
When he pulled Shen Jingxuan to the guards, Xie Lingxiao paused: "Notify them that they don't have to stop Miss Shen from coming to the palace."
"Yes." The guard knelt on the ground in horror.
He had never seen Shen Jingxuan before. Fortunately, he had just gone in to report it. Otherwise, given the prince's temper, he would have been in big trouble.
Xie Lingxiao brought Shen Jingxuan to the study, and after they sat down, no one spoke for a while.
He tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and could not calm down for a long time.
This was the first time Shen Jingxuan came to him on her own initiative, how could she make him unhappy.
Shen Jingxuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start.
Thinking about what happened in the mansion just now, he was anxious to know the reason of what happened. The first person he thought of was Xie Lingxiao, but he also felt a little uncomfortable.
"you..."
"I..."
The two spoke at the same time. They looked at each other, and Shen Jingxuan lowered her head silently: "You speak first."
Xie Lingxiao said helplessly: "What's the matter with you?"
"Well, I heard that Shen Jiande was released, and I wanted to ask you why." Shen Jingxuan said.
Xie Lingxiao was puzzled: "I only know that it was Xie Zihan who guaranteed it, but did you find anything unusual?"
He didn't take the matter to heart, he just wanted to vent Shen Jingxuan's anger.
Shen Jiande had already been beaten with a stick and was locked up in jail for a few days, so he was released.
When Shen Jingxuan asked about this, he felt that the matter was unusual.
Her voice rang out: "Xie Zihan already despised Shen Jiande's family, why did he suddenly agree to rescue Shen Jiande?"
"There must be some reason why Xie Zihan would save me even though he hates me."
She knew Xie Zihan a little bit. It was impossible for him to stand up for Shen Jiande without any reason.
"What do you think?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Shen Jingxuan's voice sounded again: "Based on my understanding of Xie Zihan, if he had no value to him, he would not make a trip for Shen Jiande."
"Moreover, Shen Jiande has no value anymore. He has no money and no status. How can he make Xie Zihan take action?"
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan steadily. What did she say? Based on her understanding of Xie Zihan?
He said indifferently: "You know Xie Zihan very well? Miss Shen, can you tell me how you know Xie Zihan?"
Shen Jingxuan also realized that what she said was inappropriate. She avoided Xie Lingxiao's gaze and said, "I don't really understand it. I just calculated it based on common sense."
Seeing that she looked guilty, Xie Lingxiao did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he asked curiously, "Why do you think it was?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at him strangely. She didn't believe it. With Xie Lingxiao's intelligence, he couldn't think of this.
He was in a high position, so how could he not see that there was something strange about this matter? Seeing him staring at her, Shen Jingxuan had no choice but to continue expressing her thoughts.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Since Shen Jiande is no longer valuable, there is only one possibility for Xie Zihan to save him."
She picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Could Shen Jiande have something on Xie Zihan?"
"Clap clap clap..."
Xie Lingxiao clapped his hands and smiled at Shen Jingxuan: "You are really smart, and your analysis is very logical."
He didn't expect that Shen Jingxuan was not only thoughtful, but also had such clear ideas when analyzing things.
Xie Lingxiao told Shen Jingxuan the news from the secret guards was that Shen Jiande was causing trouble in prison and wanted Shen Jinghuan to go see him.
At first the bailiffs ignored him, but Shen Jiande became more and more noisy and even banged his head against the prison door.
The most serious incident was when he hit his head so hard that blood was gushing out. The yamen runners were so frightened that they dared not delay any longer and had to report the matter to Lord Zhao.
With the approval of Lord Zhao, the yamen runner went to the Prince's Mansion and informed Shen Jinghuan of the matter.
When Shen Jinghuan saw the yamen runners coming in a big way and many people gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion to watch the fun, she had no choice but to follow the yamen runners to the prison to visit Shen Jiande.
As the secret guards were far away, they could only see Shen Jiande saying something and Shen Jinghuan leaving quickly. Not long after, Xie Zihan arrived.
It was not until Shen Jiande talked to the prince that the prince, with a gloomy face, went to find Lord Zhao, and soon Shen Jiande was released.
"It is as I expected." Shen Jingxuan was a little disappointed. She always felt that things were not that simple.
Xie Lingxiao saw her disappointment and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate, and there will be results."
The two chatted for a while, then Shen Jingxuan said goodbye and returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Li Luo and Yun Qingmo sitting in the yard waiting for her.
"Amo." She called Yun Qingmo into the yard.
Shen Jingxuan was a little curious. This was the first time Amo came to see her, and she wondered if something had happened.
"But what happened?" Seeing Li Luo and Yun Qingmo looking serious, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Yun Qingmo said: "Axuan, Li Luo and I have discussed and decided to return to the Yun family tomorrow."
The Yun family? Shen Jingxuan thought that Li Luo and Yun Qingmo must have taken action in the past few days.
Does going to the Yun family mean that there is a result?
