Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

"Okay, let me think about it carefully."

Shen Yuan was very distressed. The water surface of the lake illuminated by the lanterns now had some ripples, making water ripples in circles.

She looked at the lake surface, which gradually regained its calmness and returned to the state of a water mirror. She clearly saw Shen Xuan's reflection staring at her from inside, and she had the answer in her heart.

"I will save you first."

The girl raised her eyes, and Shen Xuan's slightly startled face was reflected in her watery eyes.

There was only a clear sincerity in her eyes, and she saw that his heart suddenly collapsed and melted to the point where it looked like nothing.

"why?"

He already had the answer, so he shouldn't ask for the reason anymore, but he still wanted to ask this question and get to the bottom of it.

Shen Yuan refused to hide and met Shen Xuan's curious gaze.

"Because if you think about it carefully, in terms of years of acquaintance, you are longer than Cui Shao, and you treat me better. Strictly speaking, you are better than Cui Shao. But this does not mean that Cui Shao is not good. It just means that if You must make a choice, and you who have a closer relationship with me and whose life and death will affect more people will be the best choice."

With more people involved, Shen Xuan understood that she was undoubtedly talking about his adoptive parents.

It is equivalent to saying that what makes him ahead of Cui Shao is the length of time he has known Shen Yuan, and the friendship between them living under the same roof as adopted brothers and sisters.

Without this, he might not be able to let Shen Yuan choose him.

But, so what? Being ahead is being ahead. No matter what the reason is, the person he has cared about for so long still chose him, right?

The young man figured out the reason, and the smile on his lips deepened. He opened his mouth and took a bite of the candied haws along the place where Shen Yuan had eaten, and smiled.

Shen Yuan told the truth, so she didn't feel guilty for not choosing Cui Shao.

What she can guarantee is that if this happens one day, she will save Shen Xuan first, and then if something goes wrong with Cui Shao, she will do her best to save him.

If she was unable to save herself in the end, she would pay for it with her own life.

There is no reason why she should owe Cui Shao her life in both her previous life and this life.

She was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Shen Xuan had eaten all the candied haws she had eaten.

And there are still traces of bites on the next candied haws.

When he returned the candied haws to her, Shen Yuan took a look at the candied haws that seemed unchanged. She didn't see anything wrong with it and directly bit the place where Shen Xuan had bitten her, with a thin layer of amber on her lips. The syrup was bright and tempting, making Shen Xuan thirsty in his throat.

I really want to suck it up like this

The young man's eyes darkened, and the heat in his body also rose.

However, the lake breeze was strong, and soon the heat was blown away by the wind.

When the two got off the boat, nothing had changed, but something invisible spread around them, pulling the two closer together.

The two got off the boat and originally went to look for Cui Shao, but they learned from Zhiluo that Cui Shao suddenly left because of something and asked them to go back first.

When she met Cui Shao again, it was the day she and Pei Zhaoxue went to the government to go through the divorce procedures.

Cui Shao seemed to be here to do some private business. He changed into dark private clothes with gold patterns, and wore a black half-face mask to cover the corrosion scar on the left side of his face.

He was talking to an older official and walked into the back room while talking, but did not find her presence.

She didn't intend to call him, because for a eunuch like Cui Shao, the more weaknesses he has, the easier it is to be manipulated.

In addition, she is still Pei Zhaoxue's wife, and Pei Zhaoxue has a special status. Before successfully reconciling with him, it is best not to let people think that he and Pei Zhaoxue are involved. So I just stared at his leaving back and then took it back, as if I wasn't familiar with him.

Pei Zhaoxue followed her and naturally saw this scene clearly, and understood the reason why she did not call Cui Shao.

As he continued to follow her into the palace, he suppressed the annoyance in his heart and asked her, "Yuan'er, have you really decided on this reconciliation?"

"We haven't walked in yet. It's still too late. If you regret it, I can cooperate at any time."

During this time, Yu Chiye was busy helping him investigate Yu Chi Hui. According to Yu Chi Hui's words, he had no intention of helping him advise how to win back Shen Yuan's heart.

In addition, during this period of time, the court affairs were piled up, and he had no time at all. He was unable to accompany Shen Yuan back even during the Lantern Festival, feeling powerless.

Fatigue was pressing down on him like a mountain, preventing him from getting closer to Shen Yuan, but he still didn't want to be captured so easily.

Now that this year has passed, the Lantern Festival has also passed, and all major and major festivals have been completed, it is time to come and leave.

Shen Yuan looked at the long queue in front of him, found a seat and sat down, then raised his head to look at the man standing in front of him.

During this period of time, even she, a minor official in Honglu Temple, was too busy to stay down, let alone Pei Zhaoxue, a minister with a high official position.

Her eyes fell on his slightly tired brows, and she found some very light blue stubble growing on his chin, which she hadn't had time to clean up.

It can be seen that he is indeed very busy.

"Pei Zhaoxue, do you feel tired now?" She did not directly answer his initial question.

But some people asked him such a question in a nonsensical way.

Pei Zhaoxue was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.

Are you asking about official business or their relationship?

But Shen Yuan didn't wait for his answer. Seeing that he didn't speak, she started talking to herself again:

"You are the prime minister of the dynasty, and you have to deal with many things every day. When you go home, you have to deal with the relationship between me, an adoptive mother who may have problems at any time, and an adopted son who needs your guidance."

Shen Yuan counted on her fingers. After finishing the calculation, she shook her head and said: "No matter what you think, I feel really tired when I see you like this."

Pei Zhaoxue didn't feel anything. For him, the biggest motivation in life at the moment was to avenge his biological mother, and the other was to contribute a small amount to the rule of the country and the prosperity of the world.

As for Shen Yuan and Pei Jinyan, the latter is abiding by his old friend's promise, while the former is doing so willingly and does not feel tired.

Shen Yuan sighed: "In this case, if you can have a good wife in your backyard to help you take care of everything, you should be able to relax a lot and have children for you as soon as possible."

She said this not to discriminate against those women who were suitable to be good wives, but she just felt that everyone had a position that suited them.

But she is obviously not that kind of existence now.

As long as Pei Zhaoxue is in the position of Prime Minister and has many things to deal with, the relationship between them will continue to be so tiring.

Even if she wasn't the one who experienced it, she still felt exhausted, let alone Pei Zhaoxue, the person involved.

Pei Zhaoxue listened to her outline a future for him and others in a very flat tone, and pursed her lips to interrupt her: "This is not good."

Shen Yuan frowned and raised her eyes to look at him. (End of chapter)
