Su Ming Feng staggered away. When he left, he seemed to have gone through such a profound change that his soul was somewhat lost.
Shen Miao tried to say something to Xie Jing Xing, but he had returned to his dismissive expression and grinned as he urged her to return to the residence to rest, refusing to discuss the matter. Shen Miao was unable to stop him and could only do what he wanted.
Some people enjoyed sharing their painful experiences in order to gain sympathy from others. However, one would be unable to share with someone the thing that made one extremely angry because remembering it would be like stabbing oneself with a knife every time one recalled it. For a 'Xie Jing Xing' type of individual, he was probably unwilling to show his weaknesses to others, so in the eyes of others, he was very strong and nothing was impossible for him.
Shen Miao, on the other hand, learned something from his words: 'The most significant thing is that there is no nurturing, just expungement from Ming Qi to me.'
Shen Miao was still thinking about this matter after returning to the Shen Mansion. What did it say that only expungement from Ming Qi to Xie Jing Xing? The events of the previous lifetime floated through Shen Miao's head.
The Marquis of Lin An's residence also fell at the close of his last lifetime. Both Xie Ding and Xie Jing Xing died on the battlefield, and the remaining brothers, Xie Chang Chao and Xie Chang Wu were promoted as officials, as was Madam Fang. Xie Ding was still alive in this lifetime, despite the fact that the Xie family's three sons had died. The Marquis of Lin An's residence was not considered fallen as long as Xie Ding was still present. If Xie Ding intended to remarry, there was a chance of having another son at this age. Even though it seemed to be a wretched existence, it was actually much better than the previous lifetime.
The gap between the previous and present lifetimes seemed to have begun two years ago. Xie Jing Xing did not travel to Northern Jiang in his previous lifetime, but just a few years later, and with time being moved earlier, it had resulted in some shifts. What prompted Xie Jing Xing to make this decision?
Because of her? Shen Miao was engrossed in thought. But what did Ming Qi do to make the change?
Shen Miao used to sigh when she learned about the Xie family's problem in her previous life. She had originally speculated that the Imperial Family was involved in the matter, but she did not investigate further. Regardless of their relationships or reasonings, the Xie family was nothing but faithful to Ming Qi, despite the fact that their father and son were scoundrels. If they were obliterated simply because the Imperial Family was jealous of their meritorious successes, then the Imperial Family was much too cruel and callous.
At this point, a thought occurred to her.
Assuming that the Imperial family had already pointed the head of the arrow towards the Marquis of Lin An's residence, the death of the Xie family's father and son on the battlefield would be the end that the Imperial family had intended for the Marquis of Lin An's residence. The Imperial family's 'plans' were then brought forward because Xie Jing Xing took the initiative to request the expedition ahead of time.
The Imperial family got their wish and had Xie Jing Xing "die in battle," but Xie Ding was still alive at the time. Not only that, but Xie Ding still had two sons, and the Imperial Family's fears about the Marquis of Lin An's residence had not vanished. Fortunately, Xie Ding was unable to recover after the death of Xie Jing Xing, so there was no urgency to carry out the 'plan.'
Two years later, the Xie family's Shu-sons died in an accident, and Xie Ding had no way of improving his fortune since then; therefore, even though he stayed, there would be no problems. The Imperial Family then reversed their previous plans and also took the initiative to appease, to be kind and compassionate to the officials.
If Xie Jing Xing had predicted all that would happen in the future, then going on the expedition two years ago was not a hasty decision. It was the only way to secure the Marquis of Lin An's home, as he had told Su Ming Feng.
However, all of these were Shen Miao's interpretations, and no one knew the facts. While she was thinking about it, she decided it would be best if she could find an opportunity to ask Xie Jing Xing about it. She did not look deeply into it in her previous life, but she was just too curious about it in this lifetime.
On this night, Shen Miao kept thinking about it, Su Ming Feng endured the suffering, and naturally, there were others who were not in the mood to sleep.
In the residence of Prince Ding, it was brightly lit the entire night.
Fu Xiu Yi sat on the highest position and looked at the subordinate that came to report before slowly asking, "Su Ming Feng went to the residence of Rui Wáng?"
The subordinate said, "Exactly so. After exiting, the shìzi of the Count of Ping Nan seemed to have suffered a provocation and had a preoccupied appearance."
Fu Xiu Yi waved his hands and the subordinate withdrew. The aide by his side came up to ask, "For the shìzi of the Count of Ping Nan to go to the residence of Rui Wáng in the middle of the night, could it be that there are some secret relations with Rui Wáng?"
"The residence of the Count of Ping Nan is no longer in the officialdom circle so even if Rui Wáng wanted to find someone to cooperate with, he would not look for him." Fu Xiu Yi's gaze turned cold, "The Su family was originally a very good chess piece and if it was not at Su Ming Feng who suddenly became seriously ill and the Su family gradually withdrew from officialdom, one would not be at this step. However…" He continued, "It is really fortunate for the Su family to escape from misfortune."
The aide said, "Speaking of which, initially when the Shìzi of the Count of Ping Nan was sick, it was really very strange. Because the Shìzi of the Count of Ping Nan was sick, the Count resigned from his post and gradually retired that there was almost no news from them in Ding capital city."
Fu Xiu Yi laughed, "Could it be that you really thought that Su Ming Feng was really sick?"
"May Diànxià enlighten this one."
"Su Ming Feng and Xie Jing Xing, of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, are best friends." Fu Xiu Yi said, "It is indeed strange that the Su family would suddenly withdraw from officialdom. Especially Su Ming Feng, at that time, it was when he was flourishing but suddenly he got seriously sick and no longer strove and directly resigned. It was said that he would not live past a few years but see, two years had passed and Su Ming Feng is living well in the residence of the Count of Ping Nan. This is obviously that he had wisened up for the sake of personal survival and quickly retreated like rapids. Naturally, there was someone who reminded them. The residence of the Count of Ping Nan and the residence of the Marquis of Lin An always had good relations. Other than having one's good friend reminding, other people would most likely be unwilling to meddle with other's business."
"But…" The aide unconvincing asked, "There is still the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Ding, in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, so why the one that warned them is Xie Jing Xing and not Xie Ding?"
"It is difficult for Xie Ding to save himself." Fu Xiu Yi took a sip of tea. "Xie Ding is proud and arrogant and would often be impudent in front of Fù Huáng due to the military power he held. Fù Huáng had long had the intention to remove him. If Xie Ding was a little smarter, he would have exercised restraint but take a look, has he ever exercised restraint in Ding capital city? It is Xie Jing Xing that one cannot underestimate." Fu Xiu Yi said as he squinted his eyes.
"Didn't Xie Jing Xing also act arrogantly and unbridled?" The aide said, "When anyone in Ding capital city mentions Xie Jing Xing, everyone would know that he was a stubborn and daring person."
"Yes but don't forget one point." Fu Xiu Yi replied, "From the beginning, he did not enter officialdom."
"Everyone said that it was because of Xie Ding that Xie Jing Xing did not enter officialdom and deliberately delayed his purpose in life but I did not think so. During the Chrysanthemum banquet, when Xie Jing Xing dealt with his two Shu-Dìdì, he exhibited martial arts skills that made one admire from the heart. He is a worldly talent but was not willing to display it. What is this called? This is concealing oneself."
"How many years has Xie Ding lived? And how many years will Xie Jing Xing live? Xie Ding had lived for so many years but was still blinded by the residence of the Marquis of Lin An's riches and glory but even though Xie Jing Xing was at such a young age, he was able to judge and size up the situation. Xie Jing Xing is the scariest person in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An. So the person who warned the Su family was not Xie Ding but Xie Jing Xing and only Xie Jing Xing."
The aide looked towards Fu Xiu Yi, "Is Diànxià viewing Xie Jing Xing too highly? Even if Xie Jing Xing reminded the Su family, it cannot prove anything."
"What cannot be proven?" Fu Xiu Yi looked at him and asked, "How about adding the Xie family army?"
"Xie family army?" The aide was puzzled and immediately thought of something before looking at Fu Xiu Yi in shock, "Diànxià means."
"In short, the scariest in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An is not Xie Ding but Xie Jing Xing." Fu Xiu Yi said, "When this person was young, he already had the ambition and brain so if he was given power, Ding capital city would only be up in chaos. With him around, one would not be able to swallow down the residence of the Marquis of Lin An."
"Fortunately Xie Jing Xing is already dead." After the aide heard Fu Xu Yi's words, he sighed in relief, "The current residence of the Marquis of Lin An can no longer make any waves."
"Correct." Fu Xiu Yi said, "Towards a dangerous enemy, one must always kill when it has not fully grown yet. But..." He changed the topic, "I am now curious as to why did Su Ming Feng mix with Rui Wáng?"
"Not only that." The aide continued his words, "Rong Xin Gōngzhǔ seemed to be investigating Rui Wáng. Su Ming Feng's people were also monitoring the Shen Mansion, seemingly monitoring every movement of the Shen Wǔ Xiǎojiě. Rong Xin Gōngzhǔ is also likely so."
"Su Ming Feng, Rui Wáng, Rong Xin Gōngzhǔ and Shen Miao." Fu Xiu Yi said, "There must be some special relationship between these people. Especially between Shen Miao and Rui Wáng now that they were bestowed with marriage by Fù Huáng. I understand Fù Huáng's temperament very clearly and he is one that would not hand things that one has claimed over. The Shen family is already an object in Fù Huáng's back and Fù Huáng will not give this advantage to outsiders so how would one bestow her to Rui Wáng to be Wángfēi unfathomably? From this view, this is an uneconomical transaction for Ming Qi."
"Diànxià means." The aide muttered to himself irresolutely.
"This marriage is requested on the initiative of the side of Rui Wáng. Not only that, Rui Wáng must have used some method to force Fù Huáng to make this decision." Fu Xiu Yi suddenly smiled strangely, "Don't you find it strange? Previously I suspected that there was an unusual relationship between Rui Wáng and Shen Miao but felt that Rui Wáng is not one who would change the world's plans for a female. However, from the current situation, it seems that I am wrong as Rui Wáng has real feelings for Shen Miao. Thus, he would rack his brains to obtain an Imperial decree."
"In this world, there is no matter that will happen without reason. Su Ming Feng and Rong Xin Gōngzhǔ had never left Ding capital city for an entire life so it is not possible for them to know Rui Wáng. However, their attitude towards Rui Wáng seemed to be as if they were familiar with him. Moreover, Rui Wáng and Shen Miao only encountered a few times so how would he take such a step for her? Could it be that Rui Wáng had come to Ming Qi before?"
The aide was shocked, "Diànxià means that Rui Wáng previously came to Ding capital city and met them and had some relationship with them?"
"It is naturally not possible to come over brazenly." Fu Xiu Yi smiled, "Perhaps we have been deceived from the beginning or that Rui Wáng had been living in Ding capital city as a citizen of Ming Qi from the beginning. Otherwise, why would he need to wear a mask? One heard that everyone in the Imperial family of Great Liang was shockingly beautiful so why does Rui Wáng not dare to show his true face?"
"I think that he has a face that we will definitely recognise."
The aide was silent as if this news had shocked him so much that he could not say a single word.
Fu Xiu Yi smiled, "But all these are just my own guesses and it is not accurate now. It is alright as I have sent people to continue monitoring. It is just that now one looks forward even more to Rui Wáng's secret." He paused for a while before suddenly remembering and asked, "How is Pei Lang doing?"
The aide was startled and recalled for a bit, "Still refuses to loosen his mouth."
Fu Xiu Yi smiled, "Continue. Just don't let him die." He then said, "The people that the Shen family found all have really hard bones. One really envious."
The aide heard it and his entire body felt a chill but he dared not say anything and only respectfully withdrew.
-------------------------
The Shen family eventually accepted the fact that 'Shen Miao would marry Prince Rui,' and since the marriage had been settled, the marriage proposal had been submitted, and the list of betrothal gifts had been prepared, the female side had to show their attention to this marriage. Even if Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not agree for Shen Miao to marry Prince Rui, if they did not plan properly, some would believe that they did not value Shen Miao.
Even with his last breath, Shen Xin would not be willing to let others look down at his daughter. It was just that the list of betrothal gifts sent over by Prince Rui was so overwhelming that planning the dowry had become an issue.
Originally, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan both had a military lineage, and they had received many awards for their military achievements in their early years. They were both out of Ding capital city for the majority of the year, so they didn't touch the rest except for the portion provided to Old Shen Fūrén and the public fund. There were only two children in the house, and Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not favour either of them, splitting it in half. This was thought to be quite broad-minded.
However, during their two years in Xiao Chun City, they had invested heavily in the Luo family army, and as a result, the Shen family's wealth was not as substantial as it had been. All, however, was blamed on the list of betrothal gifts sent by Prince Rui. Even in the heyday of the Shen family, carrying it on their backs would be challenging.
Previously, Shen Qiu thought Prince Rui was boasting that this list of betrothal gifts was enough to marry the daughters of ten high-ranking noble families. It's possible that Prince Rui was kidding with the Shen family, but on the second day, Tie Yi moved two chests of gold geese on Prince Rui's orders, almost making Shen Qiu stumble.
That was something that even the Empress Dowager would treasure but Prince Rui gifted it as a 'good omen' and just placed it in a random box to send it over.
After that, everybody believed that Great Liang was extremely wealthy and that Prince Rui squandered money like dirt. This list of betrothal gifts was no laughing matter, and Shen Miao's dowry had become a major issue.
Shen Qiu took the initiative to give Shen Miao his portion of the money that was left to him to marry a wife, and said, "One cannot be short-sighted. How could one let Mèimèi's dowry be less than half of what Rui Wáng's list of betrothal gifts? If one reached Great Liang, others would look down. Our Shen family's Gūniáng is the best and Rui Wáng gifting such betrothal gifts, whereas our dowry is so little, one does not know if he would look down. One cannot be muddleheaded. The very most one can pawn the antiques in my room. Even though we are poor, we cannot lose face."
Shen Xin seemed to be taking it into consideration.
Shen Miao, "…"
The Shen family was, in any case, considered one of the richest families in Ding capital city but why from Shen Qiu's mouth, it seemed that it was very improvised and one had to pawn the things in the house to make up the dowry?
One did not fear that others would laugh their heads off upon hearing it.
Because it was the end of the year, the big and small matters in the Ding capital city were much more relaxed and Shen Miao's marriage was bestowed by Emperor Wen Hui. Perhaps Emperor Wen Hui knew that the Shen family had a lot of dissatisfaction about the marriage in their hearts, he especially gave Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan a period of leave so that they could accompany Shen Miao and only return after Shen Miao's marriage was completed.
Naturally, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were happy as their minds were all focused on Shen Miao even without the Emperor's approved leave. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were in the army and upon reaching the end of the year, there would not be much work, thus, these days they were in the residence helping Luo Xue Yan on New Year's stuff or helping Shen Miao around.
The entire family was in the hall chatting leisurely, with the freshly made snacks by the chef and the charcoal burning brightly. Luo Tan smiled towards Shen Miao, "Xiǎo biǎomèi, once the year is over, you will be married off. Even though it is not possible to embroider one's wedding dress now, you still have to prepare something for yourself. You should get the embroidery maidens over to quickly measure and speed up the process to finish the dress."
When the females in Ming Qi were to be married, they would embroider their wedding dress. Generally, when the engagement was done early, they would start to embroider a few years ahead. Those who settled their engagement later would instruct the tailor to make a wedding dress before stitching a few patterns on it, to symbolise that it was personally done. Like that, there would signify harmonious intention.
The Shen family originally was not anxious about Shen Miao's marriage as they wanted to start looking for suitable young talents after the year was over and at that time it was just suitable for Shen Miao to start embroidering her wedding dress. Who knew that Emperor Wen Hui would hand out an Imperial decree and it disrupted everything. It was impossible for Shen Miao to personally embroider a wedding dress thus nothing could be done.
Luo Xue Yan smacked her head and said worriedly, "I have almost forgotten about this matter these days. Tan-er is right, Jiao Jiao's wedding dress has to be prepared. I am not familiar with Ding capital city's embroidery maidens so later I will ask those closer Fūréns where the best clothes and jewellery can be bought. Jiao Jiao's wedding dress cannot be done sloppily." After finishing speaking she looked at Shen Miao and smiled, "Jiao Jiao's stature is slim and would look good in a wedding dress."
When Shen Miao heard about it, what appeared in her mind was that day when Xie Jing Xing pulled her into his embrace and the sentence that he said 'after hugging one would know'. She could not help but feel that her face was a bit hot.
Shen Qiu asked, "Mèimèi, why is your face so red? Should a physician be called over to take a look?"
Luo Ling's gaze flashed but he kept his head down and did not speak a single word.
Luo Tan was smiling and spoke to Luo Xue Yan on what kind of patterns to be embroidered on the wedding dress to make it festive and saw a servant running in from outside, "Fūrén, Lǎoyé, there is someone at the door requesting for a visit."
"Didn't one already say that these days guests are not welcome? Aren't the main doors closed?" Shen Xin said unpleasedly, "Why did you not refuse?" He wanted to enjoy a few days of peace left and thus rejected everyone as he did not want to see everyone who came to Shen Mansion.
The servant was almost in tears, "It's... It's Rui Wáng Diànxià of Great Liang."
Luo Tan's eyes widened and Shen Qiu stood up instantly and asked murderously, "What is he here for?"
The servant said, "This lowly one did not ask."
Before the last word fell, one heard a low pitch voice that sounded from behind the servant.
"To gift a wedding dress."
A tall and straight figure appeared from behind the servant. The servants in the Shen Mansion were not visually appealing, but each one was considered proper and upright, and after following Shen Qiu for so long, they still had some traces of heroism. However, as compared to the person behind them, they seemed to have dirt on their faces.
His purple-gold robe swayed as his grin had hints of laziness but did not repulse others and seemed to be somewhat cynical. However, the silver mask gave off a slight chill, making him seem somewhat deep and unpredictable. Even though he couldn't be seen, the shape of his face was pleasing to the eye. When one walked leisurely over, the beauty and nobleness made one unable to turn their gaze away from the strong light.
He said, "Rui Wáng"
Even the individual who reported one's name was haughty and impudent.
Shen Qiu was on the verge of drawing his sword. He slapped his fist against the table, and the plates with snacks on them rattled. He inquired, "You are Rui Wáng?"
Prince Rui nodded his head.
"Why are you marrying my Mèimèi? What conspiracy are you plotting?" Shen Qiu shouted.
Luo Tan's jaw almost fell out. Shen Qiu's hostility towards Prince Rui was just too great. Even though everyone had such thoughts in their hearts, it was too rude to directly ask someone about it.
"Jiao Jiao is gentle, sensible, dignified and generous. I have been admiring greatly and requested the marriage earnestly. Fortunately, Huáng is broadminded and was not insulted." He slowly said with a smile.
Shen Miao could not help but shiver. She was not used to hearing Xie Jing Xing speak in such a gentle tone. One could tell that at first, because they were unfamiliar, every time Xie Jing Xing saw her, it was all sounding her out, treating her indifferently, and ridiculing her.
Shen Xin and Shen Qiu became enraged. On the surface, Prince Rui's remarks praised Shen Miao, but he also stated that he admired Shen Miao, and the more he said, the worse it got. What did it mean that the Emperor was open-minded and was not offended? Others might not realize it, but they were well aware that it was Prince Rui who compelled Emperor Wen Hui to issue the Imperial decree. The Emperor's open-mindedness was forced, but he was not insulted. Who wasn't being insulted?
Shen Qiu and Shen Xin were like two cannons, and all they needed was a spark to go off. This Prince Rui had done everything wrong, so why had he come over to wag his wolf's tail?
However, Luo Xue Yan's expression softened.
A female's perception of a male differed from a male's perception of another male. When a female observes a male, she will pay attention to the details. Prince Rui used the pronoun 'I' rather than 'Běnwǎng.' He did not refer to Shen Miao as the "Fifth Shen Young Lady," but rather as "Jiao Jiao." If it was only for the Shen family's military power, Prince Rui had already achieved his goal, and this was unnecessary. Regardless of whether this was a genuine or staged moment, it was admirable that he was willing to put forth the effort. For example, when Shen Miao first admired Fu Xiu Yi, Fu Xiu Yi made Shen Miao sway but he did not stay away or reject but also did not accept and was unwilling to spend the effort to please. As a result, the Shen family was unwilling to allow Shen Miao to be with Fu Xiu Yi. Not only because Fu Xiu Yi's identity would drag the Shen family into the water, but also because Fu Xiu Yi had no feelings for Shen Miao.
If one loves someone, one is willing to go out of one's way for her. What can be expected in the future if one is unwilling to put in a little effort?
As Luo Xue Yan assessed Prince Rui, she noticed that he was willing to put forth an effort, and it was already far superior to what she had anticipated. Furthermore, in terms of appearance and temperament, it was difficult for Prince Rui to make others feel uneasy.
In comparison to Fu Xiu Yi's easy-going demeanour and air of a Prince who was sleek, smooth, and evasive, Prince Rui was lazy and unbridled, but one could see the true nature. It was even more valuable for such genuine nature to be present from an Imperial family. Luo Xue Yan hoped that Shen Miao's husband would not put on a false front when interacting with Shen Miao.
She said, "Rui Wáng Diànxià."
"My name is Yuan and the style name is Jing Xing." Prince Rui said, "Fūrén can call me Jing Xing."
Shen Miao almost choked on the tea.
Luo Xue Yan was somewhat surprised as the people in the Imperial family were most particular with regulations. Even between blood brothers, one would often pay attention to this and that. For people in Great Liang to be in Ming Qi, it was considered to be very noble guests, moreover, Prince Rui was the blooded Younger Brother of Emperor Yong Le. One did not expect that he would let others call him by his styled name.
Only when one's relationship was extremely close, could one let others call their styled name.
Luo Xue Yan's gaze of Prince Rui softened even more as she said, "Jing Xing, sit down first." He then instructed Jing Zhe, "Serve the tea."
Shen Qiu and Shen Xin immediately looked at Luo Xue Yan in shock. They did not expect Luo Xue Yan to treat this Prince Rui this good in such a short time. When Luo Ling saw it at the side, he looked at him with some attention.
"Jing Xing." Luo Tan suddenly said, "Is this not the name of Ding capital city's residence of the Marquis of Lin An's Shìzi?"
Shen Miao was holding the teacup but her heart was somewhat weak.
Xie Jing Xing's daringness could cover the entire Heavens. He actually dared to say his little name here. Was it he had felt that since Su Ming Feng and Princess Rong Xin had already known his true identity, there was no issue having a few more people know about it? Moreover, anything related to his identity would lead to another's suspicions and not only Xie Jing Xing did not avoid it, he still brought it up rightfully.
Even if one was drinking tea, Shen Miao felt that she was getting drunk.
Shen Qiu felt indignant in his heart and seeing that Luo Xue Yan letting Prince Rui sit down and instructed the servants to serve tea, he became unhappy and responded after listening to Luo Tan's words, "Correct. Rui Wáng must not know who the Shìzi of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An is right?"
Prince Rui turned his head to look at him, "Oh? Who is that person?"
"He is also called Xie Jing Xing and is the eldest Di-son of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An. Everyone says Southern Xie, Northern Shen, their Xie family are like our Shen family, Ming Qi's military lineage aristocratic families. Xie Jing Xing is the Xie family's Little Marquis and he is a rarely seen young talent. Just one person and with a single stroke, he was able to flip over countless enemies and one did not even mention his civil and military skills, he also had a handsome and flawless face. He is considered a young talent that all of Ming Qi respected and one would exclaim good when hearing of him." Shen Qiu sighed, "Unfortunately, Heavens is jealous of heroic geniuses. He fell early on in the battlefield in Northern Jiang." He changed the topic of conversation and looked at Prince Rui provocatively, "One does not know what Rui Wáng Diànxià's feeling about this person of the same name? Compared to that person with both matchless military and civil abilities, what are your chances of winning?"
Shen Miao, "…"
"Hearing Vice Marshal Shen's words, it seemed that one admires this Little Xie Marquis?" Prince Rui slowly asked.
"That is of course." Shen Qiu said it so vehemently and ignored Luo Xue Yan's eye signals but saw Shen Xin's encouraging gaze and continued, "He is the hero in my heart that no one can replace."
Shen Miao supported her forehead.
If possible, she really wanted to pretend that she did not know Shen Qiu.
Looking at Xie Jing Xing, he must be feeling extremely rejuvenated.
Zaza: Dying of secondhand embarrassment for Shen Qiu and my hands are itching to take a needle and pop XJX's big ego that has become even more inflated.
