Chapter 217: Conjugal (Part 1)

At the end, more than half the jar of Shi Zhou Xiang ended up in Shen Miao’s stomach. Xie Jing Xing tried to block it but when Shen Miao become stubborn, even Shen Xin would be helpless, what more Xie Jing Xing. However this time she did not throw a drunken tantrum like before. She drank finish the wine and looked very calm. After saying a many things, she then hugged the empty jar and wobbled out. Xie Jing Xing sent her back to the room and instructed Jing Zhe and Gu Yu to take good care of her. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu jumped in shock and said softly, “One’s body only got better, why drink so much wine? One fears that it would not be good for the injuries.”

Xie Jing Xing took a glance at her before turning and leaving the room.

He walked in the courtyard and as the summer breeze blew onto his face, it made one wake up from the intoxication. However he only drank a little and thus his mind was as clear as a mirror.

However he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

Shen Miao’s words were like a lighting that strikes his heart and at that moment, all the incomprehensible things became clear in that moment. Even though Shen Miao’s words were just too shocking and seemed to be of the powers of supernatural. He was one who never believed in supernatural things.

He did not believe in supernatural things but he believed in Shen Miao.

Xie Jing Xing knew Shen Miao very well. If she really wanted to lie to a person, she would definitely be full of lies and calmness. Ever since Xie Jing Xing knew Shen Miao in Ming Qi, seeing her deal with the Second and Third household of the Shen family, dealing with Jing Chu Chu, she had always stabbed others with a gentle smile and schemed in a warm manner. She would have thousands of schemes but always had an amiable expression. However when she was hesitant and wavered, that was instead real.

One feared that she had suppressed all the things she said today in her heart for a long time, otherwise she would not show such expression of a heavy burden. However Xie Jing Xing could feel the apprehensive in her heart even though a storm was set off a storm.

IF all the things that Shen Miao dreamt of had truly happened, then it was indeed not a good dream. Once he thought of Shen Miao following Fu Xiu Yi at the end and because of Fu Xiu Yi, ended in such a miserable state, Xie Jing Xing felt furious.

There was rain the day before thus when the green boots stepped onto the water on the ground, there was a rustling noise. Xie Jing Xing stood straight and called out, “Tie Yi.”

Tie Yi appeared.

“Investigate any interconnections between the Ye siblings and Ming Qi.” If everything in Shen Miao was true then this Ye Mei is Shen Miao’s enemy but the point from Ming Qi to Great Liang did not match up. To think about it now, he could understand why Shen Miao showed hostility to Ye Mei and her Younger Brother at their first appearance.

Tie Yi was somewhat surprise but still lowered his head before complying.

There was some confusion in his heart. He looked towards the crescent moon in the skies with a frown but he could not tell what emotions he was feeling and thus walked into the courtyard to look for the young tiger to play.

Jiao Jiao had not seen its master for a long time thus upon see him, naturally it was so happy that he jumped up to play with him. Xie Jing Xing played with the young tiger absent-mindedly for a while and after seeing that the night was getting deeper and the tiger started to yawn, he then returned to the room.

However there was no intention to sleep. He walked to the middle of the room and took off his outer robe, planning to sit down for a while when he suddenly felt something was different. As he looked over to the bed, he saw that there was a large lump on the middle of the bed that seemed to be breathing slightly.

His brows wrinkled and he walked over to remove the quilt but suddenly stopped to laughed, “What are you doing?”

On the bed, Shen Miao was wrapped with his quilt while holding a pillow and staring at him with wide eyes.

Previously she was calm and it seemed that she was not drunk but now it seemed that the alcohol went up her head and her fair face was red and her clear eyes were covered with haze. He said, “I am recommending oneself as a pillow.”

Xie Jing Xing almost thought that he heard wrongly, “What did you say?”

“Consort Li had once told me that in order to achieve a person’s heart, even if one adores the other, one have to recommend oneself as a pillow. Between male and female, being intimate is the right thing to do. I have never did it before and thought that you have not experienced it so I came over to recommend oneself.”

When Xie Jing Xing heard her speaking of such shocking things, his face blushed as his eyes stared at Shen Miao’s. He seemed not to know how to respond and finally said, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

He did not know who was the ‘Consort Li’ that she was mentioning but thinking about the dream that Shen Miao had, Xie Jing Xing thought incredulously that could it be that it was one of her ‘sisters’ in the Inner Palace?

Shen Miao sat on the bed, intoxicated but still had a dignified bearing as she spoke, “I want to explore in different angles with you.”

Xie Jing Xing quickly walked to the table to pour a cup of cold tea for himself. When he swallowed a mouthful of cold tea, his heart slightly calmed down. Shen Miao’s drastic change of character when she was drunk was just too shocking. She could even mention about ‘being intimate’, what exactly was she thinking?

He said, “I am not one that will take advantage of another’s perilous state.”

After not hearing any noise for a long time, Xie Jing Xing felt somewhat strange and could not help but turned around. However he spit out an entire mouthful of tea.

Shen Miao herself was a sensation. One did not know where did the coat disappear to and she was only wearing a Tudou (ancient lingerie) before saying in grievance, “Do you detest me for being ugly? That’s why you refuse to touch me?”

That big piece of skin was as fair like snow in winter but was warmer than the white snow and was like milk but clearer than milk. In addition, her hair was unkempt which made her face look adorable and her eyes hazy, making her very beautiful.

Xie Jing Xing quickly went over in a fluster to cover her in a quilt and said, “It seems that your illness is really serious.”

Shen Miao argued with convictions, “You and I are husband and wife so what is with consummating a marriage?”

Xie Jing Xing took a deep breath and avoiding the other party’s watery and hazy eyes, “You have yet to recover… Let’s talk about it another day.”

Shen Miao said doubtfully, “Wasn’t it you who said that the deadline is two months? I see that the date had long reached.”

Xie Jing Xing almost collapsed.

He stressed, “I am not one that will take advantage of another’s perilous state. What are you think I am?”

“I know.” Shen Miao nodded her head, “I am here to fulfill your wish.”

Xie Jing Xing, “…”

“Be good. It is too late today. Let’s talk about it another day.” Xie Jing Xing tuck the quilt for her and was about to leave after turning around. He feared that if he stayed on, he could not control himself. He was after a hot blooded young man and was at his strongest. With a beauty in his arms, especially it was the female that he loved, if there was no reaction to her, than it would be a problem. However he did not want to take advantage of Shen Miao’s perilous state, when she was drunk. He respected Shen Miao and thus was not willing to do it.

But just as he stood up, his sleeved was tugged by Shen Miao and the quilt that he covered Shen Miao slipped down. Shen Miao was half lying half kneeling on the bed but was still shorter than Xie Jing Xing by a head. He was a little anxious and grabbed Xie jing Xing’s neck, “No.”
