Lonely non-good minister

Stance?
It's okay to show weakness.

Song Yuan rejected this statement in his heart, but he had to think about it seriously. Now is indeed not the time to show off.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for reminding me. I will handle these matters."

Huo Ying clasped his fists: "Then take care of yourself, Your Highness."

Coming out of his room, Song Yuan carefully considered the conversation between the two, and he had some idea in his mind. He turned the corner and saw Mu Wantang going to his room carrying food, and immediately stepped forward quickly.

"Miss Mu." Song Yuan took two steps and said, "I have something to tell you."

Mu Wantang first looked at her carefully, and then nodded. After following her into the house, Song Yuan asked her to sit down, and he also sat down. He looked at her carefully and considered it before speaking.

"You and I were appointed by the late emperor. Although the late emperor gave you the treatment of a county prince and gave you the right to have an equal wife, the status of concubine is an injustice to you after all."

Mu Wantang's face was full of confusion: "Why did Your Highness say this?"

"Although you are from a merchant family, you are also the daughter of a respectable family. You can be a legitimate wife even if you marry someone else. I don't want to wrong you. If you are willing, I can give you the status of a legitimate wife and prevent you from being wronged by being a concubine." Song Yuan said it very seriously. Although she had already written to Xiao Shen about her plan, she still wanted Mu Wantang to make his own decision.

These words were so sudden that Mu Wantang was stunned, his cheeks turned red instantly, his eyes hurriedly avoided and he didn't know where to look. His voice was as small as a mosquito humming: "Why did your Highness suddenly ask like this? I have said that I am not from a high background. I dare to expect the position of His Highness’s wife, I just want to be with His Highness, His Highness deserves to marry a rich daughter.”

"I didn't marry you because of your family background. Even though you are behind the Duke's Palace, I have never thought about having any connection with the Duke's Palace by marrying you, or getting help from courtiers through marriage. I don't think so. If you like it, of course, you can also reject me, and I can cancel the engagement and let you decide on your own, so you don’t have to be embarrassed."

She spoke very calmly, but Mu Wantang calmed down very quickly. The shyness of the girl who was throbbing just now disappeared at this moment. She looked at Song Yuan, going through her words over and over in her mind, and then spoke carefully: "Your Highness wants to marry me, but because you have me in your heart?"

She knew her own value too well, so she could only assume that the reason why Song Yuan was willing to marry her was because he had feelings for her. However, Song Yuan had hinted more than once that he could terminate the engagement, which made her feel very unsure. She guessed It is impossible to tell Song Yuan's thoughts.

Song Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I have no feelings for you."

Although she had already guessed in her heart, Mu Wantang still felt bitter after hearing these words. Her shy eyes just now were full of embarrassment. She dodged and wanted to get up and leave, but she still held back and held on tightly. He sat at the corner of the table and held back his sobs: "My family background is of no benefit to Your Highness, and Your Highness did not marry me because of your love for me. In this case, why would Your Highness sacrifice the position of a head wife for me?"

"Because." Song Yuan hesitated whether to say it clearly.

Mu Wantang tilted his head: "Your Highness, it's okay to just say it. It's a life-long matter for you and me. If you don't be honest, you will inevitably have regrets."

After she said this, Song Yuan stopped being secretive and said clearly: "Because of your ability, although you don't have a good family background, you are capable. I don't care about your family background, but personally But what I care about is ability. I think you are very suitable to be my wife." "Suitable?" The word "Suitable?" sounded really harsh. Mu Wantang felt mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. She sighed and calmed down. Emotion: "His Highness made me his wife because he is suitable for her. Will His Highness make his beloved a concubine in the future? Or will he divorce me when he gets a firm foothold?"

Song Yuan was confused by this question, "If I marry you, naturally there will be no other women. As long as you are willing, you will always be my wife, but I can't give you affection."

"So, Your Highness treats your marriage as a business, right?" Mu Wantang was a little angry. She looked at Song Yuan and wanted to hear a negative answer, but Song Yuan obviously had no intention of explaining.

"If you think so, you're right." Song Yuan was too honest to be honest.

Mu Wantang felt a sharp pain in her heart. She didn't even know whether she should be grateful for Song Yuan's honesty. She tightened her grip on the corner of the table and then let go. She was completely calm: "Since it's business, then I can What are the benefits? Will Your Highness make my future children safe and prosperous?"

She no longer cares about anything else. Even if the questions she asks are full of worldliness, she still has to ask them clearly.

If you can't look forward to your relationship, then your child's future is worth looking forward to. In a big house in a big house, you have to have something to think about, right?

"We won't have children." Song Yuan gave her another blow.

"Why?" Mu Wantang was puzzled: "Why can't we have children?"

Song Yuan remained silent. She would not reveal the secret of her daughter's identity to Mu Wantang, nor could she find other reasons to defend herself. Any reason that was unfavorable to her might become a sharp knife for others to stab her in the future, so , she would rather Mu Wantang think about it by herself.

"If you marry me as your wife, you will have no worries about wealth for the rest of your life. I guarantee that no woman will threaten your status, and no woman will compete with you in the back house. If one day I am granted a title, you will be the only one." Princess, I can take care of your relatives and support your mother. You can do whatever you want. The only thing you need to do for me is to take care of the inner house and deal with the human relations so that I have no worries. .”

Mu Wantang smiled miserably: "It sounds really tempting, but does this require me to be a widow in exchange for it?"

"Yes, marrying me means you will be a widow." Seeing her like this, Song Yuan couldn't bear it: "So, you need to understand. I know you have feelings for me, but if you don't explain these words in advance, it will be harmful. You, I can’t take advantage of your feelings.”

Tears fell uncontrollably. Mu Wantang raised his chin to hold back the tears but to no avail.

Song Yuan could not comfort her, so he only said: "If you are willing, then I will submit a request to let you be my wife. I will welcome you into the mansion with all my glory. Your mother can also live in the mansion for a long time. I will support her until she is old and die. If you don't want to, I will take the initiative to break off the engagement and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give you a generous reward. I will try my best to make up for the fact that I have delayed you for so many years. No matter how much it is, I will do it tomorrow morning. Ask someone to give away the discount. Before that, if you decide, you can come to me at any time. Whether you like it or not, I will not blame you, let alone damage your business. "

"Okay." Mu Wantang stood up, wiped away his tears, and left quickly before he could calm down.
