Pei Zijin stood at the gate of Jinyuan with the accounts in his hand, the spring breeze blew his long black hair, raising a sense of elegance, and the accounts in his hand added a bit of bookish air to him. But at the moment, there was a little uneasy feeling in his heart.

Shangguan Jin handed over the accounts of the palace to him to deal with, although he occasionally came to the Youyuan to ask, but he never let him bring the accounts to Jinyuan, this time Shangguan Jin wanted to manage the accounts personally, what did it mean?

Shangguan Jin pushed open the door and saw Pei Zijin standing at the door, and nodded: "Come in." ”

Pei Zijin stepped in, he rarely came to Jinyuan, and he usually discussed important matters with Shangguan Jin in the study. This time I came and found that this place has become very elegant, an empty house, but there are a lot of books neatly placed in the back, in his memory, Shangguan Jin is not so easy to learn, right?

"You may be seated." Shangguan Jin took out a chair and waved his hand casually.

Her completely formulaic tone made Pei Zijin even more chilled, when did they become so polite? raised her eyes to look at Shangguan Jin, but saw her slowly picking up a cup of tea and drinking it, gently blowing the floating tea leaves in the cup, her movements were comfortable, but she didn't have the slightest appearance of wanting to speak first.

Pei Zijin was a little apprehensive in his heart, for some reason, he felt that such Shangguan Jin was very unfamiliar, neither like the previous violent and sadistic, nor like the later shallow smile and warmth, and now, it was completely a strange gesture, obviously with a gentle and drizzly smile on his face, obviously in front of him, but it felt so distant and cold.

They seem to be very close, but their hearts are far, far away, as if they are separated by thousands of generations, and there is no way to reach them, and they are sad in vain.

"That, what did you call me?"

Finally, breaking the silence, Pei Zijin put the account book on the bookcase, then sat down with his sleeves brushed up, and then asked slowly.

"Zijin, it's been a year since I promised you, right?"

Shangguan Jin put down the teacup, raised her eyes, looked at Pei Zijin and said, she knew that her next words would be very hurtful, but this was a necessary process, a process that she had to have if she wanted to get rid of the identity of the regent.

"No!"

Pei Zijin stood up suddenly when he heard this, and saw Shangguan Jin looking at him in surprise, his face was a little ruddy without knowing whether he was embarrassed or excited. Pei Zijin knew that such behavior was too rude, so he explained.

"You promised me a year to spread commerce across the four countries, but now you are just on the right track, and it is far from meeting your requirements."

Pei Zijin's tone lost his usual calmness, and he seemed a little anxious.

He didn't know why he said this, but he was sure that he didn't want to leave the palace, he didn't want to leave Shangguan Jin, he regarded Shangguan Jin as a poisonous insect and beast, and he didn't even want to look at her. But now Shangguan Jin's every move always attracts his attention, her usual gentle smile, and sometimes cunning are also very headaches.

She dresses casually, but often wears white and black, the corners of her lips that are curled when she smiles always look a little evil, she likes desserts, she is always particularly interested in some unknown things, and when she learns about it, she ignores it...... She already knew so much, so much about Shangguan Jin......

But no matter what, he still can't see through Shangguan Jin, Shangguan Jin doesn't seem to have a heart, even for her favorite Qi Fan, he keeps a distance not far away. Shangguan Jin, what kind of person are you?

"Enough is enough...... You're doing well enough. The one-year period has arrived, and you are free. Zijin, aren't you happy? Isn't that what you've always wanted? It's finally happening! ”

Shangguan Jin stood up and walked to Pei Zijin's side, with a smile on his face, as if congratulating him on his departure, congratulating him on finally having freedom.

It's a pity that he Pei Zijin doesn't want these, now he just wants to be by her side, whether she accepts it or not. He only needs to be by her side, take care of her business, open up a path to wealth for her, be able to see her smile, and be able to hear a few words of praise from her, and that is enough.

But now even this tiny hope has become a luxury? Pei Zijin suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and said word by word: "I won't leave, since Zijin is Jin's husband, I should be accompanied by each other for the rest of my life, and Zijin will never leave." ”

"Huh, husband?"

Shangguan Jin seemed to be laughing but not laughing, as if he was playing with these two words, and the curvature of the corners of his lips was a little sarcastic and a little sad.

"Zijin, let me ask you, have you really thought about it? With me, you will face the ridicule of the world and be ashamed of others. Have you really, thought it through? ”

Shangguan Jin was close to Pei Zijin, his tone was serious, and his black eyes stared straight at him, not letting go of the slightest hesitation in Pei Zijin's eyes.

"I ......"

Pei Zijin hesitated, being with Shangguan Jin, he would be ridiculed by the world, and besides, unfilial piety is great, as a scholar, he naturally values the issue of heirs. But he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he married a woman he didn't love? He would rather bear the infamy of unfilial piety than leave Shangguan Jin.

"I figured it out, I'm not leaving!"

Pei Zijin's gaze was very firm this time, but unfortunately it was too late, and his momentary hesitation just now made Shangguan Jin die. It's not that she doesn't have any feelings for these husbands in the palace, she has lived together for more than three years, and suddenly let them all leave, and she is a little sad in her heart, right?

It's just like she can't tolerate a drop of sand in her Shangguan Jin's eyes, and she can't tolerate a little hesitation in her feelings. She didn't want to see them regret it, she would rather be alone in this life than let them lose their true colors and force them to stay by her side.

If there is hesitation today, there will be a farewell for another day.

"You know, my life is short. What's the use of you keeping it? It's better to let me settle down and enjoy the rest of my time. ”

Shangguan Jin lowered his head, no longer looked at Pei Zijin, who was stunned and sluggish, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window, the birds on the trees flew out from the warm nest to find food, but it was just spring, and the air was still cold, where could I find any grains or insects?

Seeing that the bird flew in the direction of Yifanju, he knew in his heart, presumably that the person was kind-hearted and was feeding the birds again. Thinking of that ambiguity among the flowers, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really reckless.

And Pei Zijin looked at Shangguan Jin's back in a slight stunned, the light of the window was nearly half covered by her, and the dark shadow cast on him hit him, but the cold air did not seem to come from the window, but penetrated from the shadow cast by Shangguan Jin on him, making him feel cold all over his body.

He took a silver-white cloak from the screen and put it on Shangguan Jin's body, and then asked softly.

"You, you know everything?"

"Well, I knew it from the beginning."

Shangguan Jin grabbed the tie of the cloak and tied a bow before saying again, his tone was flat, not angry or sad, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with her.

Pei Zijin was stunned again, she knew? She even knew?

That time on the cliff, she sacrificed herself to save him, and when he fell off the cliff when the road was blocked and helpless, she rushed to save him in time, and she also handed over the affairs of the palace to him. So many times, why is she? Shouldn't she take revenge on him harshly? Why? Why are you so kind to him and trust him so much?

Now that everything is broken, he just wants to be by her side, and he has lost his qualifications. Settle quiet? Scold...... Shangguan Jin has already said this, what excuse does he have to stay.

Suddenly he lost all his strength, but his pride did not allow him to bow his head.

"Can you handle these accounts?"

Pei Zijin asked again, he didn't worry about her.

"Hmmm! Give me all the accounts in the next few days. Seven days later, you departed. ”
