Song Lianzhou's carriage slowly stopped, directly opposite Shen Zhixi.
He raised his hand, hooked his fingers on the car curtains, and looked over the crowd to fall on Shen Zhixi. There was a cold air in his beautiful eyes, as if the warmth of spring was frozen.
Even so, he is still so handsome that it makes people lose their minds.
As soon as he appeared, everyone ignored him.
Shen Zhixi secretly thought something was wrong, his eyelids were twitching as he had a premonition that something was going to happen to him.
"I haven't seen you for two days. How is sister Zhi Xi doing?" The words of condolence came in a particularly cold tone.
"I'm much better." Shen Zhixi smiled at him, but also with a superficial smile, "Uncle Lao Guo is worried about you. It's a coincidence that I can meet you here."
"I'll take you back."
Then, without waiting for her to respond, he added, "Come up."
There was a certain attitude that if she didn't get in the car, he would just follow her and waste time.
You can't avoid what you can't avoid, and you have to face it when you should. Shen Zhixi sighed and got into his carriage. The carriage turned around, seeing that Song Lianzhou really meant to send her back to Ning. Chenghou Mansion.
"I haven't seen you for two days. Does sister Zhixi know what I have done?"
Shen Zhixi was just thinking about what he was going to do, and when he suddenly heard him asking this question, he felt even more wary.
"Since Uncle Guo is asking this, does it have something to do with me?"
"Smart." Song Lianzhou turned his head and looked at the people sitting side by side. "I went to the palace and asked for the decree."
Shen Zhixi didn't look at him, but she could feel his blazing eyes from the corner of her eye. She didn't respond and just waited for him to continue.
Song Lianzhou glanced at her up and down, and then said slowly: "I went to ask for an imperial edict granting marriage."
Grant marriage!
Shen Zhixi's eyelashes trembled, and his heart tightened as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Just now he said that what he was doing was related to her, so this imperial edict granting marriage...
She turned around, surprised.
"Song Lianzhou, are you kidding?"
"Are you kidding?" Song Lianzhou raised his eyebrows and leaned slightly to look at her with a half-smile, "I'm not you. No matter what you say to coax or joke, I can say it beautifully and charmingly. I can't tell jokes."
He paused and moved closer to her.
"Chen Zhixi, I want to marry you."
His eyes were still full of stars, and they were still the same as before, but they seemed to have lost the slightest trace of them. The contradictions in his eyes were so complex that it was impossible to understand them at all.
His words made Shen Zhixi's heart beat like a drum, and it felt like thunder was falling in his ears.
"you……"
"I want to marry you." He repeated.
Shen Zhixi moved back, feeling horrified in his heart. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say, "You're crazy."
But Song Lianzhou still had a calm face, with a stern face but a smile in his eyes. No matter what he said, he had a leisurely and calm tone. He said, "When did I go crazy? Shen Zhixi, shouldn't you know best?"
She choked and swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Looking into each other's eyes, Shen Zhixi's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. This time, she really didn't understand.
"Anyway, you definitely don't really want to marry me. I don't believe that you don't even want the dignity of a human being. You marry a woman who hurts you and raises children for others. You are the uncle of the country, and you don't want a good woman. Why are you? Or……"
She sat back again, closing the distance further.
"Or is this your way of retaliating against me? You married me just to humiliate me, then divorced me and abandoned me, making me the laughing stock of the world and living in gossip all my life? But, this is obviously a shameful thing for you. If you marry a woman like me who got pregnant before marrying someone else, you will also be ridiculed by the world. You don’t have to do it, right? If you want to take revenge on me , you obviously have other better and happier ways."
She said a lot, but Song Lianzhou still had that calm expression.
He didn't nod or deny, just looked at her.
Shen Zhixi, who had always figured things out, lost his mind for the first time and was in a mess.
"You..." She spoke many times, but was speechless every time.
The sound of the carriage and the noisy crowds on the street made her feel restless. In a short period of time, she had already thought of countless reasons why Song Lianzhou wanted to marry her, but none of them were really reasonable.
Finally, he slowly calmed down.
"If..." She seemed to have decided to accept it, and she relaxed her brows and no longer resisted, "If you really only married me to humiliate me and take revenge on me, then... then fine, I will marry you."
Hearing this, Song Lianzhou's calm expression finally showed a different emotion.
Shen Zhixi turned around, looked at his toes and was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Although... maybe you will still be disappointed. You want to see how miserable I am when I am humiliated and subjected to cold words, but... other people's gossip I really don't care at all. I have already experienced these things thoroughly. When I was a child, I was called a bastard and a bastard, had stones thrown at me, and had sewage poured on me. These were all trivial matters, and even more so. What's more, I was pushed down a well and almost drowned alive. Even if the people above me saw her, they just covered their mouths and laughed. And my mother was bullied when she was running a business, and was ridiculed that she earned money in bed. quilt… …"
She swallowed, suppressing the sourness in her heart when she mentioned her mother.
Song Lianzhou stared at her side face with half-lowered eyes, his expression was as calm as before, and the coldness in his eyes had not dissipated. He just looked at her eyes and felt a little lost, as if he was taken away by her words. place.
She didn't continue, but looked back at him.
He finally pulled away and said indifferently: "Since you have suffered, you should know not to do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Shen Zhixi laughed, and then she laughed and said, "If I were a good person, how could I have deceived an injured little blind man like you into doing that?"
Song Lianzhou turned around, seemingly sullen.
Shen Zhixi stopped smiling, but continued: "But I don't regret it. If I could go back to that time, I think I would still pick you up, a beautiful little blind man, and do the same thing to you. I have money and leisure, What's wrong with having no one to restrain you and living a boring life? You men are allowed to play with women? It's supposed to be foolproof, but this isn't..."
Wasn't this damned Xie Muyun abducted to Yuejing? Otherwise, she and Song Lianzhou would never meet again in this life.
"How many people have you lied to?" Song Lianzhou lowered his eyes and asked.
Shen Zhixi answered the question incorrectly and returned to the topic just now.
"I mean if you really want to use the marriage contract to retaliate against me, I am willing to cooperate with you, as long as you feel you can vent your anger, as long as... you can finally let me go and let me go back to Yanzhou, and then we will never see each other again in this life. See."
"We will never meet again." Song Lianzhou laughed softly.
Then he turned to look at her again, his smiling eyes moved closer to her, forcing her to lean back.
"How could I retaliate against you? I want to... repay my kindness."
