Chapter 185: Shielding One’s Shortcoming (Part 2)

Su Ming Feng looked at Xie Jing Xing in a daze. As his words were somewhat confusing and he was also unclear about some matters, he asked, “You meant that from the beginning you are not the son of the Marquis of Lin An and someone substituted a raccoon for the crown prince and brought you in. You grew up in Din capital but you are not a Ming Qi citizen. You are Great Liang’s citizen and the younger blood brother of Emperor Yong Le of Great Liang. How could this be possible? This is just impossible.”

When he was talking, he saw clearly Xie Jing Xing’s expression and he suddenly stop. On that familiar and handsome face, there was only the expression of indifference. Su Ming Feng understood Xie Jing Xing. When Xie Jing Xing was talking about serious matters, he did not like to repeat and when he was impatient, it would often be this expression.

What he said was the truth.

Su Ming Feng could not tell what his heart was feeling at this moment, as if it was blocked by a mass of cotton. Just now he felt the joy of seeing one’s old friend was gone and what remained was empitiness and some inexplicable anger.

He asked, “When did you know about your identity?”

“From when one remembered things.” Xie Jing Xing replied.

Su Ming Feng took two steps back.

“When one remembered things?” He asked, “You have long knew that you are from Great Liang.”

Xie Jing Xing did not express an opinion.

Shen Miao lamented in her heart. Why did Xie Jing Xing need to be this honest? In fact, the more he said so, the more Su Ming Feng would feel deceived and sometimes it would be easier to him and acceptable for other when he said some lies.

However Shen Miao asked herself, if it was her, one feared that she would also be as honest as Xie Jing Xing.

There was really no need to deceive the people one was closest to.

Sure enough, as Shen Miao expected, after Su Ming Feng heard Xie Jing Xing’s reply, his expression became extremely complicated. After the surprise, horror and suspicion, there was a deeply betrayed expression on his face. He coldly laughed and asked, “Oh? Then why are you back now? Could it be that you are unable to take that Ming Qi is better than your Great Liang or you have ambitious intentions to step your phone here?”

His words were harsh that even Shen Miao could not help but cast a sidelong glance. However she knew in her heart that from an outsider point of view, which was the clearest, for Su Ming Feng to know this much secrets, he would not be able to accept it and it was very easy to hurt the people that were closest to them.

“So what of it?” Xie Jing Xing said in a low anger and not only did he not smoothen Su Ming Feng’s ruffled feathers, he actually calmly admitted it.

Shen Miao wanted to speak but after thinking about it, she gave out. It was not gentlemanly to speak when watching a chess game so she would take it as though one was watching a show today.

Indeed Su Ming Feng got even angrier. He yelled at Xie Jing Xing, “I finally know what is a rebellious thief is and what a white-eyed wolf is. I thought that you are not close to the Maruqis of Lin An since young because of Princess Yu Qing’s matter but now it seems that you clearly knew that you were not related to them as the son of the Marquis of Lin An but enjoyed everything that the residence of the Marquis of Lin An had to offer, that even the two Shu sons of the residence of Lin An was not as good as you. You kept on saying that Princess Rong Xin is your family but you deceived her and make her suffer in pain upon your news of death. You treated me as your brother but concealed your identity for so many years. One feared that there was a reason to have a good relationship with me.”

“You don’t like Ming Qi and Ding capital but that it after all the place that raised you. Birth is not as significant as raising one up. You have enjoyed everything that Ming Qi gave you but because still took drastic measures and be your Prince Rui of Great Liang. Your Great Liang is a rich nation with strong people and even has a strong military. You have abandoned everything in Ming Qi for wealth. Xie Jing Xing, you have no feelings or sense of justice, not worthly to be one’s Di son and do not deserved to be a brother even more. Go back to your Great Liang.”

“Enough.” Shen Miao stood up and interrupted Su Ming Feng’s words.

Su Ming Feng’s words were just too hurtful.

She turned to look at Xie Jing Xing and one the face that was no longer covered with a mask, Xie Jing Xing’s expression was unobstructed. There was no anger, smile but his expression was bland as he looked at Su Ming Feng calmly. It was as if the person that Su Ming Feng was speaking about was not him and as if he did not care about what Su Ming Feng said.

Suddenly in Shen Miao’s heart, there were a few waves.

She looked towards Su Ming Feng but there was a mocking smile on her face, “Oh? Gentleman Su looked devoted to righteousness that inspires reverence and could not wait to come over and uphold justice. Unfortunately the white-eyed wolf that you call others, to me, you are also one.”

Xie Jing Xing was stunned.

Su Ming Feng became angry with Shen Miao too, “What did you say?”

“You are a white-eyed wolf.” When Shen Miao was fighting with Mei Furen in the Inner Palace in her past lifetime, naturally she would had to be involve in war of words everyday. When it came to mocking people, even though it was not outstanding, she had learnt a lot of things from Mei Furen.

She smiled gently and looked dignified and composed. The more she was like it, the more Su Ming Feng’s rudeness was brought out. Her voice was soft and gentle, like drizzling rain, but each word and sentence were merciless.
