Yang Shu was so confused that he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he regretted very much. Why had he never thought of understanding mystical arts? If he had been willing to learn when the old Taoist wanted to accept him as his disciple, he would not be speechless by her words now.
Wait, if he had accepted Lao Tao as his teacher, wouldn't he have stayed in the capital, gone to Dongning, or met her?
If this is the case, it seems better now...
Yang Shu's thoughts were scattered, ups and downs, and sour. It was as if he deliberately slowed down his thinking so as not to face her rejection, but his reason told him that escaping would have no effect.
After a while, he finally gathered his thoughts and looked at Mingwei.
She still looked at him like that, very seriously, as if waiting for his decision.
"I don't understand what you are saying." Yang Shu said honestly, "But my mind will not change. I know you will not change your mind now, so I will find a way to convince you. Give me some time,
I'll go find out what's going on first."
Mingwei laughed, as if she had waited for the answer she wanted.
"Do you really like me so much?"
Yang Shu turned his head uncomfortably: "Anyway, that's it."
"Don't go to such trouble." She finally said, "I just said that I can't have a marriage alliance with you. Because the fate of husband and wife will affect each other and your children. For example, if you should have a child,
But because you are with me, a lifeless person, and have no children, it will cause your entire destiny to deviate. But if there is no relationship between us as husband and wife, there will be no such worries..."
Yang Shu looked at her a little confused: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Mingwei understood clearly and said seriously: "I mean, apart from the fact that we can't be husband and wife, nothing else matters. If you want to be with me, I can agree to it, but I can't worship heaven and earth with you, nor can I sign a marriage contract with you.
.”
"..."
Yang Shu suddenly stood up and said angrily: "So, you want to play with me without taking responsibility?"
"Uh..." Mingwei thought for a while, "That seems to be the case..."
"Too much!"
Mingwei was helpless: "There's nothing I can do!"
Seeing that his face was turning red, he coaxed: "In this life, you can enjoy yourself as soon as possible. Why bother about the false reputation? What's more, you don't have to take responsibility like this! We are free and only share happiness, and we don't have to be responsible for our daily life.
Isn’t the firewood, rice, oil and salt very good?”
Yang Shu was not tempted and just looked at her and sneered: "If one day you feel unhappy, or someone else makes you happier, should you just leave?"
Mingwei was silent, swallowing back the "yes" that he almost spit out.
Yang Shu knew it by looking at her expression, so...
"Playing with emotions, heartless and unjust!" He cursed eight words and walked away.
Seeing him like this, Mingwei was puzzled.
She touched her face and then her waist.
That's great. With such a beautiful face and such a perfect figure, he doesn't have to take responsibility for it. What on earth does he dislike?
An hour passed and it became dark.
The young and old of the Ji family have had enough of training Mr. Ji, so they all go back to their respective houses.
Mr. Ji knew that he was in the wrong, so he was as quiet as a quail and went to sleep in the study voluntarily.
The two courtyards became quiet.
Mingwei was about to go back to the house. When she passed the flower stand, a hand stretched out from inside and dragged her into the shadow.
With her back pressed against the wall, the other person's breath was suppressed, and she faced a pair of eyes that were brighter because of the intertwining of love and hate.
Ming slightly blinked and asked with his eyes.
Didn’t Cai Qi run away? Why did he come back again?
The other side glared back fiercely and said in a suppressed voice: "You said there can't be a marriage alliance, but you and Ji Xiaowu are engaged!"
so?
"If you can get engaged to him, why can't you get engaged to me?"
Well……
Mingwei thought for a while: "It makes sense."
"Then why don't you break off the engagement!"
Mingwei looked up at him and asked softly: "I broke off the engagement with my cousin and got engaged to you. However, no matter who it is, I will never get married. Doesn't this mean I took off my pants and farted?"
"..." Yang Shu said fiercely, "How is this the same? If you don't break off the engagement, he will be your fiancé! Then wouldn't I be stealing from a married woman?"
Ming smiled slightly, couldn't help but pick up his toes, put his hand on his head and touched it.
Yang Shu was a little confused by her sudden move. He felt her soft hands gently rubbing the hair on his head, as if she was scratching his heart.
"You, you..." He stuttered a little, pretending to be fierce, "What are you doing?"
"Comfort you!" she said.
The light of the night lamp under the eaves shines on his face through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Mingwei saw that his face turned red little by little, reminding her of a puppy she had rescued when she was a child. When he was angry, he turned his back to her, but his tail kept wagging back and forth, as if to say,
Come and coax me! As long as she tame its fur, she will be cute and obedient.
"Don't think that I will compromise!" He said forcefully, "It's okay not to get married, but I refuse to be Ximen Qing!"
Mingwei chuckled: "My cousin will be angry if he knows you said he is Wu Dalang."
"Hmph, he gets angry when he's angry. Come and hit me if you can!" He raised his chin, realizing that Ji Xiaowu was no match for him at all.
Mingwei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Ji Xiaowu in Xuandu Temple.
Seeing her like this, Yang Shu emphasized: "Don't try to fool me again, I will never compromise!"
"Let me think about it." She finally relented, "My uncle has a bad temper. It's not okay to suddenly tell him to break off the engagement. If you go and say it, he will be even more angry."
After hearing what she said, Yang Shu finally calmed down and said, "How long will it take to wait? There are only a few days left for Qiu Lie."
Ming Wei smiled: "Don't worry. Even if you can't cancel the engagement now, I can interfere with your marriage first. After all, you are choosing the prince's concubine, and you are not the focus. The concubine will not delay the official business because of you."
Yang Shu felt comfortable: "Do you have an idea?"
"Think about it first." Mingwei paused, "However, there is a problem now. My uncle has to be on duty, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go."
Yang Shu twitched his lips: "I don't think it's a big deal, just wait and you'll be able to go when the time comes."
Mingwei said this, of course, to ask him to find a solution. Seeing the little pride on his face, as if he was asking for praise, he wanted to laugh even more: "Then it's up to you."
"Wait!" Yang Shu stepped back, hesitated, and then came back, "You... you agreed, right?"
Mingwei did not evade this time and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
He laughed, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows flickered, as if he was happy along with him.
"Then I'm going to do something!" He turned around and took two steps, looked back at her, and when he jumped up the courtyard wall, he looked again and finally left.
When his figure blended into the night, the smile on Mingwei's face disappeared.
If he is an emperor star, he will definitely have children in the future...and live happily for a few years.
