906 Secret (5)

Xie Jingxing laughed and stared at her. “Don’t I have a poisonous snake by my side already? A beautiful snake.”

Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him and said, “The Ye family… What do you think of the Ye family?”

Xie Jingxing thought for a moment. “The Ye family is smarter than the Lu family and knows how to endure. Perhaps because they don’t have many offspring, they’re not as arrogant as the Lu family. My brother and I plan to start with the Ye family to sow discord between the Ye and Lu families.”

Shen Miao narrowed her eyes. For some reason, when she faced Madam Ye today, she felt that the Ye family was not as easy to deal with as she thought. However, this thought came out of nowhere, and she did not know what was going on.

Xie Jingxing saw the strange expression on her face and asked, “You seem to have something to say?”

Shen Miao shook her head, thinking to herself that she was probably overthinking. She asked, “Will you participate in the hunt this time? Madam Ji told me to be careful. It makes me feel very strange.”

Xie Jingxing’s expression turned cold as he said, “This time, even if you don’t want to go, you have to.”

“Why?”

“This year is the 60th festival set by the late emperor. In the hunt, my brother has to hunt a male lion in the hunting ground to be sacrificed for the good weather next year and to prove that he is qualified to be the emperor.”

“A male lion?” Shen Miao said, “This is considered a ferocious beast.” In ordinary hunting grounds, safety was naturally the most important. After all, the people who came to hunt were all high-ranking officials and nobles. It was not good to lose their lives.
