"I've heard a little bit about it." Shu Xiangyu lowered her eyes. If she had been expecting and being secretly happy to get along with him in the past, now her heart was calm.

She thought he was sincerely asking for marriage and had her in his heart, but on that wedding night, he clearly told her that he didn't love her and just wanted her to fulfill her duty.

At the beginning, she refused to give up, but he used his indifference to tell her not to have delusional thoughts, so she closed her heart and did not dare to fall in love again.

I just didn't expect that he would kill Lian Qing's mother and son. Everything in the past was just a facade of his. But even if he really didn't love Lian Qing and used each other with her, he didn't love her either.

Just listen to the argument that Lian Qing is her shield, don't take it to heart.

Seeing Shu Xiangyu's emotional changes, Ning Xiao started the performance according to the designed script, "Now that I have heard about it, I should understand that I only have power in my eyes, and only the country of Qi."

Shu Xiangyu's hand holding the needle paused, his eyes moved slightly, and he sat upright unconsciously. So, after using Lian Qing, would he also kill her?

As if he couldn't see Shu Xiangyu's entanglement, Ning Xiao continued: "Xiangyu, on the night we got married, I told you that I don't love you, and I only married you so that you could bear your status and avoid being disturbed by others.

"

"..." Shu Xiangyu put the needle aside and looked up at Ning Xiao, waiting for him to say the cruelest words. Once he said it, she would hang herself with a rope.

Daughters of the Shu family cannot divorce. If they divorce, they must declare their resolve through death. Otherwise, disaster will befall the entire family, and all the married women will have no hope.

Ning Xiao met Shu Xiangyu's gaze and said, "Now I don't need another wife to confuse my vision and cover up the truth. But since you are fighting with me and you are not at fault, I can't force you to die."

"If you are willing, I will let you go free, give you a letter of divorce, recognize you as my sister, and give you a generous dowry to help you marry the one who loves you gloriously."

"In the name of the descendants of the Ning family, I promise you that if I am with you, no one will ever insult your dignity, hurt your mind, or spit on your honor!"

"It's not my fault that I have wronged you for so many years. I only hope that you will no longer be aggrieved in the future and form a truly happy family with a better person!"

Shu Xiangyu looked at Ning Xiao with disbelief on his face, and a tear slipped down his face inadvertently.

She thought that when he no longer needed her, he would abandon her or force her to die, but she didn't expect that he would care about her in this way.

If she followed his method, she would not only be able to preserve the reputation of the Shu family, but also rely on his power to find another husband and live a happy life.

But what should I do with my daughter? Ning Xiao is willing to plan for her, which shows that he is not a heartless person, and he should not be bad at treating his only bloodline.

But even though the cold treatment for many years was just a show, it was still deeply rooted in people's hearts. She really couldn't leave her daughter to him with confidence. If she left with her daughter, would he allow it?

As if he could hear Shu Xiangyu's thoughts, Ning Xiao's serious face finally softened a bit, "As for Duo'er, you don't need to worry. Duo'er is my daughter, and I will protect her."

Shu Xiangyu looked at Ning Xiao, bit her lip, and struggled for a long time. The secret love when she was young and the fantasy when she got married finally interfered with her again.

"Do I only have one choice when it comes to marriage?" As she spoke, Shu Xiangyu lowered her head and unconsciously grabbed her sleeves with both hands.

Ning Xiao shook his head and said: "Of course you have another choice. Although I no longer need you to play the role of a wife, you can save me more trouble."

"If you choose to stay, apart from not loving you, I will no longer treat you coldly or wrong you as I did before. Instead, I will fulfill my responsibility as a husband, protect you and give you dignity. No one can bully you or humiliate you.

!”

"I will accompany you to enjoy flowers and go boating, and I will also accompany you and your daughter to write and practice the piano. You can enjoy the family happiness that ordinary people should enjoy."

"But one thing, I must tell you, my body was injured two years ago and I can no longer act humanely, and I cannot give you the happiness you deserve as a wife."

"You can think about it slowly. Whether you want to leave or stay, if I can tell you, I will definitely do it. After all, there is nothing that can restrain me now."

Shu Xiangyu opened her eyes wide, and unconsciously moved her gaze downwards. Seeing Ning Xiao's openness, she blushed inexplicably, turned her head to the side, and covered her chest, as if to calm down her emotions.

The treacherous minister who was watching the whole process twitched his lips and silently gave a thumbs up, okay, I'll blame you!

The atmosphere was frozen, Shu Xiangyu's thoughts were confused, and Ning Xiao was quietly in a daze. He just waited for her to make a decision and immediately started making arrangements.

After a while, Shu Xiangyu came back to her senses and looked at Ning Xiao carefully. She seemed to have never really understood this person.

She thought he was gentle, but was treated coldly, thought he was callous, and then became cold-hearted, but he told her with his actions that she had never misjudged anyone.

Looking at the whole world, which man dares to tell such an unspeakable secret, and which man can be so honest and tell no lies?

And she could see that he was really considering her, giving her choices, and respecting her wishes.

Therefore, the secret love and the joy of that year were not wrongly paid. She fell in love with a man worthy of love, a responsible and ambitious man.

With a slight smile, Shu Xiangyu stood up, walked to Ning Xiao, held his hand, and said softly: "I'm used to everything here. The tea from other people's houses may not taste good."

"And I want to be with the prince, watching the scorching sun and soft moon alternate, and watching the sea and sky echo each other. Being by the prince's side and looking at him quietly is my greatest happiness."

"I did not make this choice as your wife or as the biological mother of your daughter. Since you have given me such great freedom, responsibility and secularity, naturally you can no longer constrain my mind."

"As the little girl who has vowed to be by your side since she was ten years old, and as the girl who has been in love with you for many years and whose dream has finally come true, I follow my heart."

"It doesn't matter if you don't love me, as long as I am your only wife in this life and the one who will be buried next to you after your death, that is enough."

Ning Xiao looked at Shu Xiangyu's raised eyebrows, felt the joy coming from her body, and held her hand tightly, "If you regret it in the future, you will still have another chance to choose."

Shu Xiangyu smiled and said that we will talk about the future things later, "Now, is it time for the prince to fulfill his promise and accompany me and Duo'er well?"

So, under Ning Duoer's surprised and frightened gaze, Ning Xiao accompanied Shu Xiangyu to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and picked a flower for her and put it on her head.

Not only Ning Duoer saw a ghost, but the two wolf dogs raised by the royal family were also shocked. The sun was rising in the west, and the prince was actually kind to the princess?

Wait, if you put it this way, is it true that the prince used the queen mother as a shield? He has always loved the princess, but he only pretended to love the queen mother in order to protect the princess and because of the situation?

Everyone was scratching their heads and couldn't figure it out, but it was a good thing that the prince was willing to be kind to the princess, rather than spending his time on irrelevant people.

Seeing the smile on the princess's face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The palace had been deserted for many years, and it was time for more laughter.
