"I didn't expect you to think that." Lin Yan looked at him without eyelashes, a face was pale and pale, and he looked more and more desolate in the candlelight, he was long and strong, standing in front of her, casting a big shadow on her body, she was not panicked, as if a somewhat discouraged expression fell into his eyes, making his heart tingle, he looked at her in a daze, saw her lightly open her pale lips, and muttered to himself, "What have I been for in the past ten years?" ”

She took half a step back, her body shaking slightly.

"Yan'er!" Liang Min never thought that his words would provoke such a big reaction from her, he was a little worried, a little regretful, she was already in the most vulnerable psychological situation, he shouldn't have said this to her.

Lin Yan stood silent for a while, suddenly pulled her lips, she laughed, laughed lonely, laughed at herself, and after a while, she raised her head, looked at him, and said softly:

"I like you!"

Liang Min's heart shook, and this slight expression with self-deprecation fell on his heart, but it was like a muffled thunder that exploded in his heart, shaking his whole body to buzz. He was shocked, he was horrified, he was ecstatic, mixed emotions came to his heart at this moment. Because he was so shocked, he didn't know what kind of expression to use to accept this confession that suddenly fell into his ears and made him wait for ten years. He looked at her with a stunned expression, incredible, at this moment he seemed to hear the most impossible sentence in his life, the impossible thing actually happened in front of his eyes, he was dumbfounded, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing. He even suspected that everything that was now was a hallucination that he had created from being too confused.

"Indeed, I have groached against you." The eyes seemed to be filled with tears in the smiling eyes, and she looked at him faintly against the flickering candle flame. There was a hint of crying in his weak voice, which was actually a kind of sadness that could touch people's hearts, "Back then, you came to the door so strongly, and after ruining my reputation, the entire Liang Capital City was discussed, forcing me to accept the marriage. I know you're doing all this because you're happy with me. But Lord Shizi, you don't know how difficult it is for the daughter of a four-rank minor official to live in the inner courtyard of the palace, and you don't know how terrifying the hideous expressions of those jealous and crazy women in the Liang capital are when they pick up their bloodlines to make a fuss. I just want to find a man with an innocent net worth and an upright character, no intrigue, no complications, and just live my life peacefully, but you brought me into the palace, and I am self-aware. I can't fight those people. Because I can't fight those people, I'm afraid, I'm really scared. ”

As she said this, tears were already overflowing from the corners of her eyes, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said:

"You said you would protect me for the rest of my life, but you couldn't protect me. What can you protect me when I'm only three or four months at home all year round? You left a month after you got married, and it took more than half a year to leave. In the days when you were away, terrible things happened one after another, I couldn't protect Baozhi, I couldn't keep Feng's mother, and on the third day of marriage, my mother-in-law proposed to take the initiative to take a concubine for my father-in-law, I am afraid that I am the first person in Liangdu. Because the portal does not match, no matter how it is treated, it is normal in the eyes of others, because I am not worthy of you, of course I know, so I don't dare to take a wrong step, I don't dare to say more than half a sentence, for fear of being caught in the wrong place and say something more unpleasant, I can tolerate any kind of cold words, but what I can't tolerate the most is that they say that the prince of Rui Wangfu is not stunned how he would marry such a princess, in order not to make people laugh at you, I also thought about being a princess well, but you have to believe in the bloodline, Some things are not done if you want to do them, I don't have that ability, I don't have that kind of intelligence, whether it's the princess's decisiveness or Mrs. Nan's ease, I can't learn it, and those crooked things people like me can't do it at all. I didn't dare to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing people to be ridiculed, unless the princess said yes, I didn't dare to do anything, for fear of making a wrong step and trapping myself in the future, and even you would be piggybacked, and at that time, you asked me, you asked me why I always seemed to be cautious, I really didn't know how to answer you. ”

Liang Min looked at her, he knew that she had been unhappy in the past ten years, she lived so depressed, even if he was careless, he could detect it, but he was selfish, even if he knew that she was unhappy, he was unwilling to give up her, so he pretended not to see her pain, pretended not to see her sadness. Pretending not to see it like this will also make him feel anxious, and when he becomes anxious, he will blame her, blame her for why she is so careful, he doesn't like to see her live cautiously, and he will also feel suffocated when he sees her like that. However, from her point of view, how could she live carelessly, she didn't grow up in a family of intrigue, even if she didn't have a smooth life when she was a child, how could the simple population of her mother's family be compared with the aristocratic family in the Liang capital, she didn't have a mother to teach the crooks between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, plus she was not the kind of person who was smart enough to be ruthless, she was a kind and soft-hearted woman, and there were many things that she knew were traps but subconsciously pretended to be confused, just because she didn't want to take the initiative to hurt others, So that others treat her as a soft persimmon and pinch it hard, and she has been sharpened in suffering and disasters for ten years, but this character still can't be changed, and she often makes a mess of things because of her kindness, so she can't be cautious.

Seeing that he was silent and did not speak, Lin Yan's mood calmed down a little, turned her head, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, she said:

"I'm not blaming you, I know how you have treated me in the past ten years, although I am sad about Wei Xianya, I have never really resented you, I am resentful of myself, the sparrow that flies on the branch is always just a sparrow, even if it is plated with a layer of golden light, it is still a sparrow, and it can never become a phoenix. If I come from the same family, or if you weren't a son, we should all be able to make it easier. I knew that things would turn out like this, and at that time I should have found a rope to hang myself before I got married, so that you would think that I really didn't want to, so that there would be no such things as follows. She hung her head. Say it gently.

Liang Min took his hands, looked at her, and looked at her for a while. Taking a deep breath, he said:

"I'm starting to miss the time when you didn't say anything, when you didn't say anything to me because you were afraid of my feelings, but now, you said such a thing, what do you want me to think in my heart?"

Lin Yan's heart shook slightly, and she raised her head. She looked at him with red eyes, obviously wanting to cry, but she was only shallow with tears. looked at him with a little stubbornness, but refused to shed tears. It is true that she is not smart enough, it is true that she is not decisive enough, it is true that she does not have the ability to be the mistress of the palace. But she was strong. Kind, gentle, is what he likes.

He smiled and asked softly, "You only said one word, marry me, do you regret it?" ”

Lin Yan looked at him with teary eyes, looked at him for a long time, and replied in a low voice with a choked voice:

"I regret it."

The smile on the corner of Liang Min's lips has not faded. But the smile gradually turned into self-deprecation, and he laughed softly to himself. Half-bowed his head, his strength was very weak, and he muttered weakly:

"So, will our decade end up with such a bleak ending as 'Heli'?"

Lin Yan didn't say a word, just looked at him, her tearful eyes reflected the candle flame that shook violently because of the wind, and she bit a pair of lips shallowly, biting those lips into pale.

"But I don't regret it." He took a deep breath and landed a pair of warm eyes on her face, and he said, "I have no regrets marrying you, neither in the past nor in the future, and I will never regret marrying you as my wife." Although this lack of regret has brought you a lot of pain and sorrow, I am a selfish person, so no matter how painful and sad you are, I have no regrets. Lin Yan, you can not go back to Rui Wangfu, you can refuse to stay with me, but you are my Liang Min's wife, and this will never change. If you refuse to walk towards me, you can do it, I'll walk towards you. ”

As he spoke, he took a half-step forward and stood closer in front of her.

The feeling of oppression that came at that moment was suffocating, Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to take half a step back, but he reached out faster than her, hugged her waist, and she was forced to step forward, suddenly and without warning, sticking to his body. She felt his knotted muscles very obviously under the luxurious clothes, the familiar heat warmed her, the familiar smell lingered around her, her heart sank and lifted high with his sudden hugging of her, she looked at him with a complex that could not be described in words, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked a question that had bothered her for more than ten years:

"Why did you marry me back then?"

Liang Min was stunned.

"There are so many women in the family, I am not beautiful, I am not talented, I even do needlework so-so, my father is just an inconspicuous four-grade Beijing official, as the prince of the world will inherit the throne in the future, why did you choose me to be your princess?" The princess is the future Princess Rui, the status is noble, the responsibility is great, even if Lin Yan is stupid, she understands, so it is not strange for others to laugh at her, bully her, and treat her as a thorn in the flesh, although she feels very sad about being treated like this, she still understands it very well, so she has no resentment, the only thing she feels strange is why Liang Min would take a fancy to her who is not at all inconspicuous, is he crazy or stunned?

"yes, why?" He listened to her question and whispered above her head, and before she knew it, he had quietly tightened his arms, and while he hugged her, he rested his head gently on her shoulder, breathing in the fragrance of her.

It seems that he doesn't know the answer to this question, so it can be seen that he was really stunned at that time.

Why did you like her?

Liang Min leaned on her shoulder and began to think about it.

At first, she finally got ruthless when she couldn't bear it, and instead made a move to her stepmother, and pushed her into a situation where she had no way out but to be crushed, because she knew her cowardice, so when he saw the other side that she hid in the depths of his heart, he was surprised and attracted attention, and she aroused his curiosity. However, if the matter ends here, his interest may also be gone, and what really keeps him interested is her next move, which is already in the palm of her hand, and she stupidly let her stepmother go and not kill them all. He remembered that she had murmured to him:

"Mother, she just hates me, but she is a loving mother to my second sister, she is not a bad person, I know what it is like to lose my mother, I don't want my second sister to taste that taste." Although her second sister is also a non-fuel-efficient lamp.

To this day, Liang Min still disagrees with Lin Yan's mother-like kindness at that time, but it is easy to fall into the well, which is also the most common in his world and the most accustomed to him, but he can still maintain the most genuine kindness and compassion in human nature in pain and hatred, which he has never seen, and it is also the most surprising to him. Although he thought it was ridiculous, but the ghost made the gods, and he actually felt that she was rare like this.

Ten years of marriage, her indecisive temperament has not changed, and he does not like her kindness very much as always, but he is willing to keep it to maintain her kindness and kindness, perhaps because he thinks that such beautiful qualities as kindness and kindness are what human nature should have in his life but is extremely lacking, so he will not agree with her like this, and at the same time contradict himself and want to help her keep it, who knows......

In the early morning, a gentle mist rose by the river, the mountains were smeared with a soft milky white, the white mist rendered everything hazy and psychedelic, under the corner of the wooden garden, the crystal dew on the delicate begonias was still rolling, Chun Niang had already gotten up, she had been itching her cheeks since last night, I am afraid that she was guilty of beauty ringworm, which is the most common disease of girls in Liangdu in autumn, perhaps related to the local climate, water and soil.

Chun Niang remembered that Lin Yan said that this problem was used with rose nitrate, so she ran to Lin Yan's room to ask for rose nitrate, her cheeks were itching uncomfortably, and she was anxious, when she was in Fengzhou, she and Lin Yan lived in the same room, the two of them were very close, and they were both women, she didn't think to knock on the door, and she didn't break into it without being stunned, and shouted loudly:

"Sister Lin, borrow me Rose Nitrate, I committed ringworm and itched to death! It's itching to death! ”

Lin Yan was sitting in front of the dresser combing her hair with osmanthus oil, and she was embarrassed to see her break in.

Chun Niang felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and at this moment, she saw through the gauze curtain that there was still a person lying on the bed in the inner room, she suddenly lost her face, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed loudly:

"Wow, Sister Lin, you finally figured it out and decided to cuckold your dead ghost husband!" (To be continued.) )
