Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

190-191

Shen Xin's angry words were stuck at his throat.

Prince Rui always seemed to have a kind of ability that after making one very furious, he would divert the topic without a trace, as if nothing was said before. This ability was just like one person and that was the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Ding, when he was young. Every time when Xie Ding and Shen Xin quarrelled, he would always be this frivolous. Shen Xin had an honest temperament, and would be serious every time but would be played like a fool by Xie Ding.

Thinking about Xie Ding, he remembered of the purpose of coming to the residence of Prince Ding. Once Shen Xin thought about this, he did not have any thoughts of being furious with Prince Rui. He looked at Prince Rui's eyes and did not let the smallest of change in Prince Rui's smile go as he asked slowly, "Previously when you are sparring with Shen Qiu in the Shen mansion, where did you learn the locking the dagger to the throat move from?"

Hearing that, Prince Rui smiled, "General Shen is referring to the locking the dagger to the throat move? I have deployed it slowly and thought that General Shen had saw it clearly. Could it be that there is a need to show it to General Shen again?"

Shen Xin was startled and his heart was tossed around. Prince Rui indeed deliberately did it.

Like he said, that day that locking the dagger to the throat seemed to have deliberately slowed down, like it was deliberately letting him see what it was. At this moment when he heard Prince Rui admitting to it, Shen Xin was unable to speak about what kind of feeling he had but he became more suspicious as he asked, "You know that it is called locking the dagger to the throat. How did you learn it?"

"Have long know about it." Prince Rui said lazily, "Didn't General Shen saw it before?"

Didn't General Shen saw it before?

Shen Xin's brain crashed and it seemed like a lighting had blasted his heart and he could not help but tremble.

In many years before, on the streets of Ming Qi, he had accidentally saw the heir of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An. Xie Ding's Son had used this move against others and he was thinking at that moment that this move of Xie Jing Xing's was much more powerful than that of his father's.

Now Prince Rui said, "Didn't General Shen saw it before?"

Prince Rui had never been to Ming Qi before and Shen Xin had never seen anyone else using this move.

A storm burst in Shen Xin's heart and at this time, he was so overwhelmed for a moment that he did not know if he should portray an expression of shock or appalled but his heart was instead calm. During these days he had been sleepless but at this moment when everything was confirmed, his suspicions were correct.

He asked, "Are you Xie Jing Xing or not?"

Prince Rui took off his mask.

Shen Xin suck in a mouthful of cold air.

The relations between the Shen family and the residence of the Marquis of Lin An had never been good but because of that, Shen Xin had the best understanding of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An. Xie Ding had son that was born to restrain him and even though Shen Xin appeared very pleased, he secretly admired Xie Jing Xing and felt that even though this youth was a bit stubborn, he had the kind of truthfulness and freedom that many noble gentlemen did not have.

Thus Shen Xin clearly remembered Xie Jing Xing's appearance.

The person in front was even more mature and handsome but there was still a shadow of his former self between his brows and Shen Xin understood in that moment. All the things that were bothering him seemed to have an answer.
