Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 822

822 Protection (5)

“You don’t like Ming Qi, but that’s where you were raised after all. You enjoyed everything Ming Qi gave you, but later on, you abandoned everything and everyone in Ming Qi for the title of Prince Rui. Xie Jingxing, you’re heartless. You’re a villain! You’re not worthy of being a citizen, a son, or a brother! Get lost and go back to Daliang!”

“Enough!” Shen Miao suddenly stood up and interrupted Su Mingfeng.

Su Mingfeng’s words were too hurtful.

She turned to look at Xie Jingxing. There was no mask on his face. He was not angry or smiling. He just looked at Su Mingfeng calmly, as if the person Su Mingfeng was talking about was not him, or… he did not care about what Su Mingfeng said at all.

!!
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Su Mingfeng with a mocking smile and said, “Oh? Young Master Su, you talk so righteously and you can’t wait to claim the moral high ground. Unfortunately, in my opinion, you’re the same.”

Xie Jingxing was stunned.

Su Mingfeng was also angry with Shen Miao and said, “What did you say?”

“I’m saying you are also an ingrate.” In her previous life, when Shen Miao fought with Consort Mei in the harem, her arguing ability was honed. When it came to mocking people, she could be considered skillful.

She smiled, looking dignified and steady. The more she was like that, the more it accentuated Su Mingfeng’s rudeness. Her voice was gentle, like the wind and rain, but every word she said was merciless.

“Before you criticize others, you’d better ask yourself first. Young Master Su, you think that Prince Rui is an ingrate and that he is using you. Let me ask you, how much has Xie Jingxing helped you since you were young?”

“After you became an official, you didn’t know how to socialize. It was Xie Jingxing who helped you get to know more people. You wanted to learn martial arts, and it was Xie Jingxing who hired a martial arts master for you. The emperor wanted to suppress the Earl of Pingnan. He was the one who reminded you to be careful and persuaded the Earl of Pingnan to lay low. If not for that, do you think the Earl of Pingnan could still exist in Ming Qi? I’m afraid you’d all be six feet under.”

“You said that Xie Jingxing has ulterior motives for befriending you. Ever since you were young, you were weak, but no one in school dared to bully you. Why do you think that was the case? Because you were the son of the Earl of Pingnan or because you had a friend whom no one dared to provoke? The logic is simple. Young Master Su, forgive me for being rude. Ever since you were young, how many times has Xie Jingxing helped your family and paved the way for you? If this is what you mean by being used, I also hope that someone can use me. Young Master Su, don’t you think so?”

She smiled, but her words were like raindrops hitting on the leaves. “You received the benefits, and yet you turn your back on your benefactor and call him an ingrate. If you are not an ingrate, then who is? Young Master Su, can I also say that you’re heartless and unworthy of being someone’s brother? Don’t you feel guilty to enjoy everything given to you by the person you accuse?”

Su Mingfeng was not someone who would argue with women. Moreover, although Shen Miao’s words were filled with mockery, she was telling the truth, making his face turn purple-red. In his extreme anger, as Shen Miao spoke, scenes from back then appeared in his mind.
