"Actually, it's not a big deal if you just admit it. ”

He said quietly: "Before I entered Beijing, you and I only had a verbal marriage contract, and we had never even met in person.

"No matter how confident I am with this identity, it is impossible to restrict you from not even having a good friend before me.

"And Master Huo is young and promising, and has the style of a gentleman, it is normal for girls to be attracted to him. ”

Shen Yan's face flushed: "Mei Gongzi-"

"Don't be in a hurry to deny me. Mei Qiying said. "I just want to tell you that I don't have the idea of maintaining a marriage that looks like a god. ”

Shen Yan's face turned pale: "What do you mean by this?"

Do you want to divorce her?

Mei Qiying looked at her, exhaled lightly, and said, "You rarely smile lately. You can see that you don't want to marry me. ”

"Mei Gongzi, there is really nothing between me and Master Huo!" Shen Yan stood up anxiously, "He is a good person, please don't misunderstand him!"

It's okay if he wants to get out of the marriage, and she will even be shamelessly happy, but if she wants to catch Huo Jiu, she won't do it anyway!

"I said that my affairs with you have nothing to do with him, even if I want to get out of the marriage, it has nothing to do with him!"

Huo Jiu thought about it for her to discipline Shen Qu and Shen Mao well, and cultivate a strong backing for her, how could she sacrifice his reputation?

Mei Qiying was silent for a moment and said, "So, you did consider getting out of the marriage?"

Shen Yan picked the edge of the table with five fingers, sat down slowly, and nodded, "I thought about it." ”

Mei Qiying's eyes were deep: "Why?"

She turned her head to look at him, her lips slightly pursed.

Why, because I lived with you in my previous life, the shadow of being snubbed by you is still there, the pain of seeing you calmly take a concubine is still there, and the despair of dying miserably is still there.

It's just that I don't want to go through those memories again.

But not a word could be uttered at these words.

"It's nothing to do with anyone, it's just my own. Eventually, she said.

Mei Qiying looked at her for a long time, then looked away and looked at the courtyard outside the door.

There were two hibiscus trees planted in the yard, there were no flowers at the moment, but the branches and leaves were flourishing, and a gust of wind stirred the leaves, and the shining sun sprinkled golden rays from the cracks.

He withdrew his gaze, "Exactly?" he lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"I don't know if Childe has heard about the past of our three rooms?" Once he opened his mouth, the rest of the words were suddenly not so difficult.

She said calmly: "Because of some changes in my family when I was young, I am very resistant to dealing with the relationship between husband and wife and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"But I know that what Childe needs is a virtuous helper who can handle all relationships, and when necessary, you will take a concubine and take a house-

"However, for my personal reasons, firstly, I can't do it like this, and secondly, I don't want my husband to have concubines by his side, so frankly, I don't think this kind of married life is what I want. ”

Mei Qiying wondered: "How can you be sure that I will take a concubine?"

He was amazed at how far she had thought.

Shen Yan looked at him fixedly: "Then the son can think about it, once my son is in difficulty, or when he is never blessed to give birth to a son-in-law, can the son insist on not accepting a concubine?"

Mei Qiying was speechless.

You don't have to think about this kind of thing at all, it must be.

Even if he refuses, the elders in the family will not allow him to do so.

And he also felt that the ancients had clouds and unfilial piety, which was inviolable, so he had not thought deeply about this question before, and even if he thought about it now, he couldn't find any other answer.

"Childe is seeking an heir, this is understandable, I can't say that Childe is wrong to think so. "It's just that I can't get past it." ”

He was a good man after all, and he didn't owe her.

Mei Qiying said: "How do you know that you can't have children?"

Shen Yan paused and said, "I don't know." But after all, no one can say for sure. ”

She didn't even have a chance to get pregnant in her previous life, so how did she know if she could give birth to an heir?

Mei Qiying stared at her and did not speak again.

He couldn't quite understand Shen Yan's mood, in his opinion, becoming a biological child was as natural as a scholar trying to test his fame, and it was something that had to be done.

Although he learned some about the relationship between children and daughters from his books, he did not have much expectations for marriage.

In the past, I knew that I had a marriage contract, and at most I just reminded myself of self-love, and for my fiancée, I imagined her appearance occasionally at most.

Even when he saw Shen Yan for the first time in the Shen family, he was just amazed, and when it came to it, he was thrilled...... It seems that something is still missing.

He intuitively felt that Shen Yan would not be the woman who could add fragrance to his red sleeves, even if there was no Huo Yan, she would not.

He and her may be able to become husband and wife, but he can't come up with the idea of being a couple with her for the rest of his life even if she can't give birth to an heir.

So he has always been curious about Huo Jiu's affection for her, what kind of feelings can make a man like him willing to bend his waist for a woman?

He stroked the cup and said, "You just want to get out of the marriage because of these concerns?"

"It's too hypocritical, isn't it?" Shen Yan laughed, "I think it is, too." ”

It's because I think it is, so I haven't been able to tell it.

Except for Shen Xi, who knows the roots, who will understand her?

But Mei Qiying's current question was like a key to open the door of her heart that had been closed for a long time.

She hadn't talked to him like this in her two lives, and the fact that he was able to ask her questions directly from the bottom of his heart also showed that he was frank enough.

Therefore, she paused for a moment, and then said: "When Mei Gongzi was a teenager, or when he grew up to such a big age, did he ever face the situation that his father didn't love his mother?"

Mei Qiying's eyes sank again.

Although the Mei family is not as big as the Shen family, because it is a traditional old mansion, even if Master Mei and Mrs. Mei have a dispute, they will never show it in front of their children.

They also have a clear purpose for their children, and they will neither care too much about you nor ignore you.

The daughter must be dignified and virtuous, the man is dedicated to studying for fame, and the rules of the family determine the order.

Mei Qiying didn't know about the Shen family before, but she has heard a lot about it in Jingshi recently.

With a mother like Ji's family, he was also curious about how Shen Yan had come over all these years, but that's all, after all, he didn't know much about the affairs of the inner house.

He only has respect for Shen Yan in his heart, and recently he has noticed that she is just a funny little girl, so he occasionally jokes together.

"Nope. What Miss Yan went through, I have never experienced before. ”
