Venomous Empress Reborn

966 Good Intention (5)

With Xie Jingxing like this, she no longer wanted to talk to him. The two of them were both stubborn. When the two of them were in conflict, neither of them wanted to back down.

Just as she was thinking, someone knocked on the door from outside. It was Ba Jiao.

Ba Jiao placed a plate of pastries on the table with a smile and said, “This is a new pastry made in the kitchen. It’s specially made according to the taste in Ming Qi. Madam, try it and see if it suits your taste.”

Because Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing were having a quarrel, the servants in the mansion were not having a good time. The people from the Black Feather Army were naturally on their master’s side, just like how Jingzhe and Gu Yu were definitely on Shen Miao’s side. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang had long gone back. Shen Miao did not expect Ba Jiao to come again.

Shen Miao looked at her and said, “Do you have something to say to me?”

Ba Jiao immediately smiled and scratched her head. “Madam, Jingzhe and Gu Yu asked me to come over to persuade you.”

Shen Miao laughed. “How do you plan to persuade me?”

“They all say that you have a very cold personality. Master was injured and sick for so many days, but you were nowhere to be seen and didn’t go to see Master. After Master woke up, you only went to see him once. Everyone feels sorry for Master, so they’ve been neglecting you these days. Please don’t blame them.”

Shen Miao shook her head. “What they said is the truth.”

“But Madam, you don’t have a cold personality.” Ba Jiao smiled and said, “You are just not expressive. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought us to the forest to find that hidden expert and beg for the herb to save Master. But Madam, why didn’t you tell Master about this?”

Shen Miao said indifferently, “I’m not the one who saved him, and I didn’t use the herb in the end. What’s there to talk about?” She had also done many things for Fu Xiuyi in the harem. She practiced frugality and helped Fu Xiuyi win a good reputation. In the end, it still didn’t make Fu Xiuyi show mercy on her.

Ba Jiao frowned and said, “But that’s your good intention.”

Shen Miao looked at her. “Good intention?”

Ba Jiao nodded. “Regardless of whether you saved Master in the end or not, even if that herb didn’t come in handy in the end, your intention was good. How could Master know your good intention if you hid it? When you wandered in the forest for the entire night and insisted on walking forward, you did it with good intention. In my opinion, your good intentions are more precious than that herb.”

Shen Miao was stunned.

Ba Jiao smiled and said, “Madam, your good intention is more useful than the herb. It can cure Master’s illness.”

“Do I have to say it out loud to let people know?” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “If he wants to know, how can he not know?”

Ba Jiao shook her head. “That might be the case for others, but it’s different for Master.”

“Oh?”

“As you know, Master’s life… is not smooth-sailing. The Black Feather Army was established by Master alone, and we’ve been with Master for a long time. Master has to face schemes every day and be wary of enemies. However, facing his own people, he wanted to let down his guard.” Ba Jiao looked at Shen Miao seriously. “Madam, you’re his wife, the person closest to him. Master might notice that you are concerned about him, but he won’t be sure. He’s not doubting you, but himself!”
