Hearing Xie Chengyou's words, Shen Lingxiang felt his heart become cold, and the sweet and uneasy feeling of waiting for his lover disappeared instantly.
For Xie Chengyou to speak like this, it was obvious that he had never thought about the possibility of him coming to ask for her hand in marriage.
Thinking again about what Xie Yuan and Luo Junyao said about the daughter of the Ruan family, Shen Lingxiang felt even more depressed.
After all, her social circle and information channels were limited, and she did not know that the Ruan family had expressed their rejection of Xie Chengyou in front of the ladies of Shangyong.
Shen Lingxiang grabbed the corner of his clothes twice and quickly let go, "Are you... going to marry a girl from the Ruan family?"
There was silence in the private room, and no one spoke for a long time.
Only Shen Lingxiang suppressed his low sobs.
After a long time, I heard Xie Chengyou sigh and say softly: "Ling Xiang, I'm sorry. You know... you are the only one in my heart, but... my grandfather and father will not agree to me marrying you as my main wife."
After all, Shen Lingxiang couldn't pretend to be virtuous forever. He raised his hand and covered his lips with a handkerchief, and whispered: "Then what do you want me to do? I'm seventeen years old...I can't wait for you anymore. Do you want me to give it to you?" Are you a concubine?"
Xie Chengyou didn't speak for a long time, and then said after a long time: "I know this has wronged you, but Ling Xiang... I swear, I will never let you suffer any further wrongs except this. Besides, didn't we have a good plan at the beginning? If we marry The one given to me was Luo Junyao..."
"That's different!" Shen Lingxiang finally couldn't help it, and the voice that interrupted him was much higher and sharper than before.
Shen Lingxiang gritted his teeth, looked at Xie Chengyou, and repeated, "That's different."
Xie Chengyou didn't understand Shen Lingxiang's anger, "What's the difference? I know you are worried that the side room cannot be straightened. But the rules are made by people after all. His Majesty Gaozu has been dead for many years. Wait until I can sit down in the future. I will definitely not let you down as the King of Chu. Besides, even if I am a concubine...my grandmother is also a concubine, and she has never suffered any grievances in these years. Ling Xiang, don't you believe me?"
Shen Lingxiang shook his head, his face full of sadness.
As a favored prince, Xie Chengyou could not understand the importance of status to a woman.
He said that Concubine Fan had never suffered any grievances. Maybe King Mu really loved Concubine Fan and protected her very well. But he didn't know that as long as he stood in front of the princess, no matter how favored she was, she and her children and grandchildren would always be A head shorter than a human.
Otherwise, why would the eldest son of Prince Mu, who was so favored, not even dare to compete with the invisible prince for the position of heir apparent?
Instead, the eldest son of Prince Mu wanted to use the method of succeeding Xie Chengyou to plot the title of his uncle Xie Yan?
Because they are not qualified to compete with Prince Mu for the title, because his mother-in-law is a concubine!
Shen Lingxiang didn't want to live in such embarrassment for the rest of his life.
What worried Shen Lingxiang the most was that without the support of the Luo family, would Xie Chengyou really have a chance to inherit the throne of Chu King?
Shen Lingxiang sobbed and looked up at Xie Chengyou's pitiful appearance, "Mr.
"What?!" Xie Chengyou was shocked. He held Shen Lingxiang's thin shoulders with both hands and said, "Lingxiang, are you going to abandon me?"
Shen Lingxiang said painfully: "It's me... I'm not worthy of you. I'm from a humble background... I'm not worthy of the eldest grandson of Prince Mu and the son of the Prince Regent."
Xie Chengyou said: "Why? If I marry Luo Junyao, you are willing to be my concubine, but not others?"
Shen Lingxiang lowered his eyes and whispered: "Just think that I am heartless and have betrayed our agreement."
She never thought about being Xie Chengyou's concubine, even if Xie Chengyou married Luo Junyao.
Because she didn't know whether Xie Chengyou could successfully inherit the title, she naturally wouldn't really put herself in a humble status that might never change. She originally agreed with Xie Chengyou that if he married Luo Junyao, she would follow him into the house, but it was Just talk.
Once the marriage between these two people was confirmed, she would naturally have a way to find a reason for herself to stay in the Luo family and not get married for the time being without offending Xie Chengyou or even making him feel guilty.
If things don't go well in the future or there are better options, it's not impossible to give up on Xie Chengyou.
Unfortunately, they were so unlucky that everything changed since that time not long ago.
Once Xie Chengyou marries another woman, everything originally planned against Luo Junyao will naturally not work.
The biggest problem is that, based on the original relationship between Luo Junyao and her, it would be natural for her to go in and out of Prince Mu's Mansion or Prince Chu's Mansion in the future. But once Xie Chengyou marries someone else, they will never be able to meet openly again.
Other women are not as easy to fool as Luo Junyao.
"No!" Xie Chengyou said angrily: "We have agreed that we will be together forever. Lingxiang, would you really rather marry a man who doesn't know what he means? You know clearly that the Luo family has a grudge against you, so you don't care at all. Maybe I can choose a good family for you. Otherwise, how could Luo Jinyan say something to ask you to leave the cabinet within a month!",
Shen Lingxiang covered his face and cried: "Then what can I do? Now, not to mention my mother and grandmother, even my uncle will not agree!"
Xie Chengyou said: "I'll go ask General Luo!"
Shen Lingxiang was very disappointed. Having reached this point, Xie Chengyou still had no intention of marrying her.
She actually knew in her heart that all those sweet words from Xie Chengyou were based on everything going well.
He can successfully seize the throne of King Chu and control the palace of King Chu. If things don't go well during the period, he can only endure the shaking of Lord Luo.
Sometimes she herself wonders whether such a risk is reliable. If the regent lives a long life, and if the Luo family remains standing, will they have to endure Luo Jun's shake for the rest of their lives?
But asking her to admit defeat and give up Xie Chengyou, she really couldn't do it.
Whenever I think of Luo Junyao marrying Xie Chengyou, she will become the Princess of Chu in a glorious future.
She found it unbearable to be married to someone else as a step-mother or to a young official with an ordinary family background, and to be humbled and underserved her whole life.
Isn't it true that wealth and honor can be found in danger?
She has offended the Luo family now, and the Luo family will never find a good family for her. So she can't give up on Xie Chengyou, so she can only give it a try.
Shen Lingxiang said quietly: "That's all, my uncle is very dissatisfied with you now. If you come to visit again, I'm afraid you'll get another beating. Just think that we have no chance."
After saying that, Shen Lingxiang stood up and was about to leave. Xie Chengyou had just been angry in front of Xie Yan today. Now that he saw that Shen Lingxiang was about to abandon him, he couldn't help but feel resentful and angry in his heart.
He stood up suddenly and grabbed Shen Lingxiang. When he saw her, he pulled her back. He held her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
Shen Lingxiang struggled hard, "Mr. Xuanyu, what are you doing?! Stop making trouble, let me go, let me go!"
"No!" Xie Chengyou said: "I won't let you go! Ling Xiang, you said you would never leave me, you are mine!"
Xie Chengyou lowered his head and began to linger on Shen Lingxiang's fair neck with his lips.
The faint fragrance on Shen Lingxiang's body made him reluctant to let go, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter and kiss her deeper.
Although Shen Lingxiang struggled, she, a delicate woman, was no match for Xie Chengyou. She gradually lost her strength and could only fall weakly into his arms.
Luo Junyao next to him opened his eyes in shock.
what's the situation?!
Aren't these two people staging the ultimate showdown between a scumbag and a green tea-flavored white lotus?
Why did the style suddenly change and become a theater not suitable for children?
Then he turned around and glanced at Xie Yan, who was still sitting in the room calmly drinking tea. His pretty little face turned red instantly.
Is there something wrong with her horoscope? Why does she always encounter this kind of thing?
At that moment, I was too embarrassed to listen any more and walked back to the inner room in small steps.
The soundproofing of the private room here is quite good. If you don't get close to the wall, you can hardly hear the movement on the other side.
At this moment, they were sitting quite far away from the wall, so naturally they couldn't hear it at all.
Just because Luo Junyao couldn't hear it didn't mean that Xie Yan couldn't hear it either. Looking at the blushing look on the little girl's pretty face, Xie Yan knew why.
With the character of the regent, he would not tease the little girl about this kind of thing, so he just pretended not to know about it at the moment.
"What are they talking about?"
Luo Jun patted his little face and relayed those words with great energy.
It was originally just a pretentious conversation between the two of them, but now she frowned and lamented, and now she was affectionate, and the performance was very expressive.
After finishing speaking, Luo Junyao glanced outside in the direction of the wall of the private room next to him, and whispered: "Well... Your Majesty, those two people seem to be very enthusiastic, just in case..."
In fact, there is no need to worry, Luo Junyao thinks that these two can definitely hit the home run today.
However, looking at the entire private room, I was a little confused for a moment.
There is no bed.
While I was thinking wildly, I heard a sound coming from the side, like the sound of something falling to the ground.
Luo Junyao was startled and couldn't help but look at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was very calm, "Why are you so surprised? If you don't want to see it, let's leave."
"But over there..."
Xie Yan said: "Since it's hard to separate, there's no need to separate."
Luo Junyao was curious, "Do you really want my cousin to be your daughter-in-law?"
"Xie Chengyou is not my son." Xie Yan said, "Do you really think Xie Chengyou wants to marry her?"
Luo Junyao tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Although everyone has dreams, you must first fill your stomach before you can realize your dreams."
If Xie Chengyou can successfully marry the original owner, with the help and power of the Luo family, he will naturally be able to think about his true love day and night.
But now, the Luo family not only won't help but may also hold him back. What he urgently needs is a helper who can make up for the loss of the Luo family, not a true love that can't give him anything but feelings.
"Very smart." Xie Yan stood up and said, "Let's go, there's no need to wait, there will be too many people and it won't be easy to leave."
"Huh?" Luo Jun shook his eyes, "Is there anyone else coming later?"
"Otherwise, why is that girl here looking for him at this time?"
Xie Yan said, "It's hard to be ruthless enough to destroy the cauldron."
Luo Jun shook her nose and followed silently. She always felt that Xie Yan seemed to know what was going on next to her.
