Lonely non-good minister

Seeing her react so strongly, Song Yuan felt very uncomfortable. She understood Mu Wantang's affection for her and how hurtful these words were. But if she didn't make her decision clearly, it would be related to marriage fraud. What's the difference?Could it be that he waited perfunctorily for her to enter the house and then left her alone?
The Crown Princess Lin has been alone in her empty house for more than ten years. She has a child who is neglected by her. She is crazy and full of evil thoughts. If Mu Wantang marries her, she won't even have a child. Song Yuan really can't bear to deceive her. An innocent woman.

After a while of self-blame, Song Yuan began to deal with the official documents sent to her. She would not stay here for too long, but there were too many things to do and she could not waste a little time. As for Mu Wantang's choice, she would not hesitate to do so. respect.

She was busy, but after returning to the house, Mu Wantang couldn't help but lay on the table and sobbed.

When Chen Liu met Chen Liu when she was 13 years old, she was already smitten. Even if she met a wonderful man in the future, she could never replace Song Yuan, who had amazed her in her youth. She was asked to marry by the late emperor, even if she was just a concubine. She was also happy about this for a long time. She looked forward to harmonizing with Song Yuan in the future, looking forward to having children for Song Yuan, and looking forward to being by Song Yuan's side for a long time.

Even if she knew that there would be many women around Song Yuan in the future, she would still be willing to be one of them. She had wondered more than once whether Song Yuan didn't like her, but was denied by herself again and again. After all, Song Yuan respected her and cared about her so much. How could this be unintentional for her?
After what Song Yuan said today, she realized that she was not the favored one, but Song Yuan himself was a good person who was polite and courteous to others.

Her so-called feelings are actually wishful thinking, but is it really worth it to stay a widow for the rest of her life just for this wishful thinking?

Mu Wantang asked himself.

Nowadays, she has no worries about food and clothing, she can support her own world, and she does not need to depend on a man to live. If she really breaks off her engagement with Song Yuan, she will be a free business woman. If she gets married, she will be trapped in the compound. In the back house, there is no love from a husband, no children, and still bound by red tape.
Based on this comparison, breaking off the engagement is the most beneficial option for her.

Mu Wantang hid in the house all day and did not come out until night. She did not even light a candle in her room. The guard who was passing by saw her and reminded Song Yuan when delivering the things.

"Miss Mu hasn't come out of the house all day, and she hasn't eaten anything. Your Highness, would you like to go over and take a look?"

Song Yuan had just finished processing the official document and was about to start writing. After hearing what the guard said, he only paused for a moment and soon became normal: "No need, it's not convenient at night."

She immersed herself in writing two pieces of paper, one requesting that Mu Wantang be her legal wife, and the other requesting that the engagement be terminated. Both were placed in front of her. Which one she would send out tomorrow would depend on how Mu Wantang decided.

"Your Highness, would you like some midnight snacks?" the guard asked as he carried the official document out.

Song Yuan stood up, stretched his stiff body, and replied: "I won't eat. I'm a little tired today. Prepare some hot water for me. I'll change the medicine and go to bed."

"Okay." The guard sent the official document away and quickly brought a bucket of hot water to her room.

After changing the medicine, Song Yuan went to bed early. After talking to Mu Wantang, she felt extremely relaxed. She no longer had to feel guilty about delaying a girl's life.

She woke up early the next day, but she lay on the bed and didn't get up immediately. She was idle for a long time, and she didn't get up quickly until Wei Yan knocked on the door to urge her.

"The county magistrate and the county captain are here. They are already waiting in the front hall of the post house." Wei Yan brought hot water in for her.

Song Yuan said while washing up: "It's been a while here. If there's nothing else important, just arrange for someone to pack things. It's time to set off tomorrow. Don't stay in one place for too long. The autumn harvest is coming to an end now. The governor There must be a lot of things waiting in the mansion, so I won’t stay any longer elsewhere and return directly to the governor’s mansion if there are no big problems. As for Wuwei and other places, the same goes for inspecting before winter.”

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to pack things later." After packing, Song Yuan quickly went out and took a special look at Mu Wantang's room. Seeing that the windows and doors were closed, she felt a little uneasy.

Although I am sure that Mu Wantang is not the kind of young daughter who will seek life and death after a little trial and error, her reaction is really worrying.

"Miss Mu has been in the kitchen early in the morning." Wei Yan reminded: "She must be preparing breakfast for His Highness."

"In the kitchen?" Song Yuan felt relieved and hurried to the front hall first.

What the county magistrate and county lieutenant wanted to talk to her about was nothing more than county affairs. One was to report on the autumn harvest, and the other was to talk about the cases in the county government office. Since Huo Ying, the lieutenant, was here now, there was no need to talk about these things. I'm sorry to bother Song Yuan, but I still have to report what needs to be reported. There are some small things that don't need to alert the people in the Tingwei Mansion, so Song Yuan needs to make an idea, and then ask Song Yuan if he is feeling better.

After chatting with them, an hour passed. After seeing them off, Song Yuan just came back and saw Mu Wantang standing dignifiedly in front of his house, but he was not in good spirits.

Song Yuan hurriedly greeted her: "Have you thought about it, Miss Mu?"

"Yeah." Mu Wantang looked at her with complicated eyes: "Is it convenient to go in and talk?"

Song Yuan nodded and led her into the room. When he saw the breakfast on the table, he felt quite uncomfortable.

Mu Wantang put the chopsticks over and sat down together: "I have thought about it. I am willing to marry Your Highness as my wife. Even if I am ignored in this life and have no children to look forward to, I am willing, but I have to make it clear. Your Highness Whether you laugh at me as an idiot or call me vulgar, I have to tell His Highness that I am not doing it for the benefits His Highness said, I just don’t want to live up to my sincerity, and even if I regret it in the future, I will admit it."

"Thank you." Song Yuan said with mixed emotions, "Of course, if you regret it, you can leave at any time. I will not trap you in the deep house of the compound for the rest of your life."

Mu Wantang looked at her with a bitter smile: "Your Highness is so considerate to me, why didn't you ever think of comforting me with your affection?"

Song Yuan was speechless when asked.

"It was me who made things difficult for Your Highness." Mu Wantang admitted: "Since His Highness recognizes my ability, I will definitely not let him down. I just hope that in the future, His Highness will treat me kindly when he thinks I am no longer useful, and don't ask for trial and error. I."

Song Yuan quickly said: "Don't worry, if I do such evil things, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

Mu Wantang did not answer, but stood up and bowed: "I heard from the guards that His Highness will set off tomorrow, so I will not go with His Highness. Please take care of yourself along the way."

She withdrew. Song Yuan had no appetite even with chopsticks. After thinking for a while, he tore up the certificate of divorce and handed the other certificate to the guard.

"Send to Jingzhao quickly."
