Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 911

911 Hunt (4)

Xie Jingxing put his arm around Shen Miao’s shoulder and said, “Brother, I’ll show Jiaojiao around first. She just came to Long Ye and is not familiar with people.” With that, he left with Shen Miao without waiting for Emperor Yong Le to speak.

After taking a few steps, they saw Ji Yushu running over excitedly from afar. He ran up to them and said, “Third Brother, Sister-in-law!”

Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu’s bright smile and really could not associate the shopkeeper Ji in Ming Qi with this young master. She asked the question she had always wanted to ask, “Why do you keep calling him Third Brother?”

“Eh?” Ji Yushu was stunned and looked at Xie Jingxing. “Didn’t you tell Sister-in-law?”

!!
Seeing that Xie Jingxing did not intend to speak, Ji Yushu scratched his head and smiled at Shen Miao. “Actually, I should call him Third Cousin. Third Cousin and I are cousins. He’s the third child in the family. Third Brother’s mother is my aunt, so we’re cousins.”

When Shen Miao heard Ji Yushu’s explanation, she understood that Ji Yushu’s mother and Xie Jingxing’s mother were sisters from the same mother. No wonder Xie Jingxing took care of Ji Yushu despite the fact that Ji Yushu had messed up a lot of things.

Ji Yushu smiled foolishly and said, “I heard that my mother has also seen Sister-in-law. My mother even said that Sister-in-law had a good upbringing and looked like a lady from a rich family. If not for the fact that Third Brother made a move early, ahem, she would have asked me to marry Sister-in-law.”

Xie Jingxing said calmly, “Ji Yushu, do you want to go to the tower prison again?”

“I was just joking!” Ji Yushu jumped up and ran away like his butt was on fire. “I heard that Gao Yang is here today. I’ll go and see him… Sister-in-law, enjoy your time!”

He disappeared into the distance.

Shen Miao was caught between laughter and tears. She turned to ask Xie Jingxing, “Gao Yang is here too? Where is him?”

“He’s an official and will arrive later than us.” He continued, “Gao Yang is the minister of defense.”

Shen Miao smiled. “I know.”

“You’re quite capable. You can even find out Gao Yang’s identity,” Xie Jingxing said with a faint smile.

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat and she didn’t know what to say. She knew Gao Yang’s identity because in her previous life, the person who came was not Xie Jingxing, but Gao Yang. At that time, as Princess Consort Ding, she had also seen Gao Yang.

Fortunately, Xie Jingxing did not dwell on this question. He only said, “When the hunt begins, just follow me to the outer venue to hunt some rabbits and wild storks. At 11 o’clock, I’ll go to the inner venue with my brother and leave a guard for you. You can do whatever you want in the outer venue.” After a pause, he continued, “Auntie is here today. If I’m not back later, you can return to the city with Auntie. She will send you back.”

“If you are not back later?” Shen Miao looked at him intently. Xie Jingxing had always been very confident with his plans. Under the watchful eyes of the royal family in Ming Qi, he could still carry out his plan with ease. It was enough to show that he was not a careless person. However, this time, Shen Miao felt really bad.

“Don’t worry, my brother and I have already made preparations.” He smiled ambiguously. “I still have to live to consummate our marriage.”
