Venomous Empress Reborn

690 Suspicion (5)

Shen Miao was stunned, and so were the people around her.

Everyone knew that Xie Jingxing had been dead for two years. Was Su Mingfeng crazy?

Shen Miao laughed. “The Young Marquis of the Xie family died young. How can I possibly have seen him?”

Su Mingfeng did not say anything else. This time, he walked away with Su Minglang.

When the two of them could no longer be seen in the crowd, Luo Tan hugged herself and said, “I have goosebumps all over me. Cousin Sister, why would that person ask you if you’ve seen a dead person?”

Shen Miao said, “He’s probably crazy.”

“I think so too.” Luo Tan agreed.

Shen Qiu frowned. “Stay away from the Su family in the future.”

“But why did he ask you?” Luo Tan asked curiously, “Did you have any relationship with Young Marquis Xie?”

“We have nothing to do with each other,” Shen Miao replied.

Luo Ling looked at her in surprise.

…

What Shen Miao did not know was that on this day, Su Mingfeng, who saw the Tiger Head Bracelet, was restless the entire day.

Even Su Yu sensed that something was wrong with Su Mingfeng and asked him what was wrong. Now that a storm was brewing in the imperial court, the Su family had tried their best to keep a low profile and stay away from the murky water.

Su Mingfeng only said a few words to brush Su Yu off before returning to his room. Su Yu and Mrs. Su looked at each other. Mrs. Su asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

Su Yu shook his head. Mrs. Su asked her younger son, Su Minglang, “Minglang, when you went out with your brother today, who did you meet?”

Su Minglang chewed the food as he replied, “We met Sister Shen. Brother asked Sister Shen for jewelry, but she refused. Sister Shen said that it was not right for her to do so, so Brother was unhappy.”

Mrs. Su and Su Yu gasped.

Mrs. Su put down her chopsticks and asked, “Let me ask you, is the Sister Shen you’re talking about the Fifth Miss of the Shen family?” Now that the second and third branches of the Shen family had been eliminated, it was naturally not Shen Yue. Shen Qing died two years ago. Shen Dongling had married into the Wang family. Only Shen Miao was unmarried.

Su Minglang nodded vigorously.

This time, Su Yu couldn’t sit still anymore. He pointed at Su Minglang shakily and said, “Your brother asked her for jewelry?”

Su Minglang nodded like a chicken pecking at grains.

The couple looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other’s eyes. Su Mingfeng would be 23 years old soon after the new year. Most men of his age would be married long ago and even had children. However, for some reason, their son had always been unwilling to get married. In the early years, Xie Jingxing from the Marquis of Lin’an often hung out with Su Mingfeng. Su Yu was not worried at all. He knew that Xie Jingxing was popular among girls, so his son would have a lot of chances to find girls he liked. Once Xie Jingxing died, his son practically became a monk. In the past two years, he had not shown interest in girls. Su Yu even thought his son might be a gay.
