Faced with Shi Ningyue's inquiry, Fang Zian didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to make Shi Ningyue sad, but he also didn't want to hide the facts. But he didn't want to tell Shi Hao's hint, because it would be suspected of instigating the relationship between the father and daughter of the Shi family.

, Fang Zian would not do such a thing.

"Miss Ningyue, Zi'an is very grateful for your wrongful love. I am not a grass tree, how can I not feel the affection of the young lady. The young lady is smart, beautiful, generous and decent, well-educated, and I cannot say that I have no affection for the young lady. However,

While the man is still alive, I have made a promise, and I have already made a marriage agreement with her. How can I live up to her deep love? Therefore, this matter can only be said to be a trick of fate. With Miss Ningyue's appearance, there must be a good marriage waiting for her.

You, therefore, I can only say regret and apologize. Don’t worry, I will not say a single word about this matter, and it will never damage Miss’s reputation in the slightest. Zian deeply apologizes to Miss.

." Fang Zian cupped his hands and fell to the ground, saying in a deep voice.

Shi Ningyue was stunned at first, then frowned and said, "You said you had a marriage agreement because of Qin Xiqing? By the way, there is also that girl Chunni."

Fang Zian was surprised and said: "How do you know?"

Shi Ningyue said: "Of course I know. Since I have fallen in love with you, I naturally want to know your details. Do you think that I, Shi Ningyue, will fall in love with someone casually? I will marry you just because of a few of your poems."

Entrusted to you for life? I know everything about you, of course after you and I got to know each other."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Ningyue is interested. Since you know my relationship with Xiqing and Chunni, you don't need me to explain more. Yes, I wanted to marry Chunni as my concubine years ago, and I also gave it.

Xi Qing promises. This is a fact."

Shi Ningyue said: "You rejected me just because of them. Do you think I can't tolerate your affection for others? Although I think that two people should be happy without any impurities, but the world is such that you men like three people.

I have four wives and four concubines, but I can't change it, and I have no power to change it. Even if I marry any man, they will do that, and I don't find it strange. Is this your reason? Unless you want Qin Xiqing to do it.

The main wife... But I think even if you are willing, Qin Xiqing will not be willing, because if she loves you, she will not ruin your future. "

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Xiqing is indeed willing to be a concubine. This is also where I am helpless, but it is not because I dare not do it, nor because she does not let me do it, but... I have other feelings for her.

promise."

Shi Ningyue said in surprise: "Is there anyone else?"

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said, "I'm ashamed. Ruomei and I have already been married. I can't let her down."

Shi Ningyue was stunned for a long time, then whispered: "You and Sister Ruomei got married? How could I not know? When did it happen?"

Fang Zian said: "The night before she left Lin'an for Beidi, she and I got married using heaven and earth as matchmakers."

Shi Ningyue let out an ooh and said softly: "So that's it. I'm really going to pay my respects. It turns out that this is how we get married. That's a lot of things."

Fang Zian said: "Of course, that's the promise I made to her. Children of the world don't have to be bound by those red tapes. Heaven and earth are matchmakers, which is enough."

Shi Ningyue thought for a while and said: "Then you know Sister Ruomei

When can I return to Lin'an? It is said that she left the Song Dynasty and went to find her brother. Her brother is in the occupied land of the Central Plains, and the place she went to is extremely dangerous. Has she been found? Is there any news?"

Fang Zian shook his head slowly and said: "There was no news. I thought she would write a letter back to me. Unfortunately, there was no news after she left. I don't know if she found her brother or when.

return."

Shi Ningyue said: "What if she never comes back? What should you do?"

Fang Zian frowned and said, "I don't know, I just know that I should keep my promise."

Shi Ningyue nodded and said: "Ningyue understands. Is this all your reasons?"

Fang Zian said: "Isn't this enough? I'm married, do I want to take you as my concubine? Master Shi is afraid that he will cut me into pieces. Besides, I am a vulgar and willful person. I am in trouble.

"Cheng Sheng, anyone who follows me will be frightened, and I will never let you find a happy partner. A person like Miss Ningyue should have a happy marriage."

Shi Ningyue waved her hand and interrupted: "Only I know what kind of life I want to live. Mr. Fang, I understand all your words, and I understand them all. I just want to ask you one thing now, what do you mean by

I will give you the answer from my heart."

Fang Zian said: "Please tell me."

Shi Ningyue asked word for word: "If it weren't for sister Ruomei, would you marry me?"

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said, "Why did you ask such a hypothetical question? It's meaningless."

Shi Ningyue said in a deep voice: "I only want you to answer my question. Mr. Fang, don't you dare to answer? When did you become so obedient? You don't dare to face your heart, don't you?"

Fang Zian was aroused by her and became anxious after drinking a lot of wine. He said without thinking: "Miss Ningyue, why are you looking for trouble? Do you want to know the answer? The answer is, even if there is no Ruomei,

I can't marry you either. Even though we are facing each other, we are actually thousands of miles apart. Don't you understand? Even if I wanted to, your father wouldn't agree. Your father wants you to live a happy and comfortable life, which I can't give you at all.

.”

Shi Ningyue stared at Fang Zian for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "I understand, so this is your concern. Did my father say something to you?"

Fang Zian regretted his gaffe and simply said in a deep voice: "You don't have to guess too much. In short, it's impossible for you and me to be together. You are a wealthy young lady, and there are young men lining up outside to marry you. As long as you nod your head, there will be countless crowds of people."

Why are you staring at me when you have broken the threshold to propose marriage? Can't you let me go? I have enough troubles."

Shi Ningyue nodded slowly and said: "Okay, I won't pester you, but you need to answer my question. I just want to know the real answer. Do you... like me?"

Fang Zian said anxiously: "So what if I like you? I am a man, and men are carefree. They will be tempted when they see a beautiful woman. You are so beautiful, do you believe me if I say you don't like me? But so what?"

Shi Ningyue nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I believe you. Mr. Fang, you can go."

Fang Zian said blankly: "Is this it?"

Shi Ningyue said coldly:

"Otherwise? What else do you want? You are a married man and you can't stay here for a long time. You can leave."

Fang Zian was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I have a bad temper and disturbed Miss Ningyue. I apologize again. I will take my leave."

Shi Ningyue turned around, as if she didn't want to talk to Fang Zian at all. Fang Zian sighed, turned around, walked across the room, and left quickly.

…

Fang Zian was in a terrible mood, just like when he walked in the alleys of Sanyuanfang and it was muddy every time it rained, and when he stepped on the bluestone road, he would accidentally get stinky water all over his face.

.terrible and irritating.

Fang Zian thought that after rejecting Shi Ningyue, he would be relieved and let go of a burden. However, he did not feel any sense of relief at all. On the contrary, his mood became extremely bad. Seeing such a beautiful woman being hurt by him

The feeling is really bad. Moreover, Fang Zian also feels a sense of loss, as if his heart is empty and something precious has been lost. Fang Zian knows the reason for his loss and bad mood. It is actually because

In fact, he had developed unusual feelings for Shi Ningyue, so while rejecting Shi Ningyue, he actually fell into a state of lovelorn. He felt a strong sense of frustration and depression.

What's even more frightening is that Fang Zian originally thought that he had no feelings for Shi Ningyue. When Shi Ningyue gave him many hints, in addition to a sense of vanity, he even wanted to laugh at this girl's passion. But

But he was completely wrong. He found that at some point, the voice, appearance, and smile of this girl who he didn't have much contact with had actually entered his heart, which made Fang Zian feel incredible.

In terms of beauty, Shi Ningyue is indeed extremely beautiful, but Fang Zian has seen so many beauties. It is almost impossible to impress Fang Zian with her beauty alone. Qin Xiqing's beauty is not inferior to Shi Ningyue's, but Fang Zian's previous

He was not flattering her like Brother Zhu, but he fell in love with her after understanding Qin Xiqing's personality and how kind she was to him.

Fang Zian always thought that Shi Ningyue was just a beautiful flower in the greenhouse that had not experienced the wind and rain in his eyes, a naive, shallow and self-righteous official lady. But in fact, Fang Zian even misunderstood his own thoughts.

In his heart, he found that Shi Ningyue was a smart, calm, thoughtful and profound woman. Perhaps after understanding this in his heart, he allowed Shi Ningyue to leave a deep imprint on his heart, and this

Fang Zian himself didn't realize everything.

No matter how Fang Zian hints to himself, it is actually unlikely that he and Shi Ningyue are really together. Even if he has not made a commitment to Zhang Ruomei, it is unlikely that he will have an emotional final result with the eldest lady of the Shi family, so

This is actually the best result. Make a prompt decision and resolve the matter quickly to avoid entanglements. However, at this moment, Fang Zian still feels a dull pain, loss, and regret in his heart, which makes Fang Zian

Very uncomfortable.

"Fang Zian, Fang Zian, you have fallen, you have been ruined, you are no longer who you were before. You have been assimilated by this era. You have completely become a scumbag."
