Pei Lang stared at Shen Miao. If he still did not understand Shen Miao’s intentions at this moment, he would really be a fool.

“What do you want to do after I become an official?” Pei Lang asked.

Shen Miao looked at him in satisfaction. It had always been Pei Lang’s style to weigh the pros and cons in the shortest time and make the most advantageous choice. However… She couldn’t help but recall that when Fu Xiuyi abolished the crown prince, she had also knelt down and begged Pei Lang. The tone Pei Lang used back then was as rational and heartless as now. Now, she had the say, and this once high and mighty state preceptor could only be manipulated by her. A trace of joy appeared on Shen Miao’s face.

“Actually, it’s nothing.” Shen Miao said, “Sir, you are talented. Even if you don’t take the initiative to become an official, a year later, someone will come to recruit you. I just hope that at that time, you won’t reject that person and agree to join hands with him, but only on the surface.”

“You want me to be a spy?” Pei Lang looked at Shen Miao in disbelief.

Shen Miao shook her head. “How can you put it that way? Sir, you will get promoted and be rich. I promise not to expose your identity. All I ask is just some information now and then.”

Pei Lang was silent for a moment before looking at Shen Miao. “Who is the person you’re talking about?”

Shen Miao smiled. “Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi.”

Pei Lang was shocked and couldn’t help but look at Shen Miao again. He knew that Shen Miao used to love Prince Ding, which made her a laughing stock in the capital. He also knew that Prince Ding disdained Shen Miao. Later, at some point, Shen Miao changed completely. Pei Lang had always felt that there was probably someone guiding Shen Miao in secret. However, now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of resentment of being rejected by Prince Ding that she wanted to scheme against him.

But did she have to go this far?

Pei Lang was a little confused. The girl in front of him was dressed in men’s clothes. After drinking the wine, there was a faint blush on her face. She was young and cute. Her eyes were like a newborn beast, but there was a hint of frivolity in her movements. Pei Lang felt a little ill at ease.

In terms of age, he was Shen Miao’s elder, and in terms of their relationship, he was Shen Miao’s teacher. However, at this moment, it was as if he was the one at a disadvantage and was led by the nose all this time.

“What exactly do you want to do?” Pei Lang had asked this question many times. Even now, he was still not sure if Shen Miao was instructed by someone else to do this or if she wanted to do it herself. Shen Miao knew everything that was on his mind, but he couldn’t even figure out what Shen Miao was up to.

“Nothing in particular. I just want to make a decision that’s beneficial to both me and you.” Shen Miao smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, revealing more of her fair neck. She said, “Sir, agree or not?”

“Do I have to answer you here?” Pei Lang asked.

“You have…” Shen Miao pointed at the wine pot. “This much time. After finishing this pot of wine, tell me the answer.”

“There’s no need.” Pei Lang interrupted her. “If you can fulfill your promise, I’ll agree.”

The room was silent for a moment. A moment later, Shen Miao smiled. She picked up the wine pot and filled the two empty wine glasses. Then, she picked up the glass in front of her to toast with Pei Lang.
