When Shen Yuan looked at him like this, he didn't feel pitiful, but just felt pity.

"Not everything in this world has to be ranked first or second. Although you lost to Pei Zhaoxue, you defeated countless people. If you had not been so aggressive, you would not have fallen into this situation now. It was just a difference of thought. That’s all.”

Yu Chihui originally thought that Shen Yuan knew that he had poisoned her, but now that he saw him reduced to such a situation, he would definitely add insult to injury and scold him for what he deserved.

But I never thought that I just said this paragraph of words that revealed everything.

He naturally understood what she just said, but the authorities were blind to the onlookers, and by the time he wanted to turn back in time, it was already too late.

The young man stared at Shen Yuan for a long time, and finally changed his mind and asked her. She should be curious why he said that he was Pei Zhaoxue's weakness, right?

"You should be familiar with his temperament and know that he rarely makes jokes. Before you were with him, I once asked him how he would treat you if you agreed to be with him. Do you know what he said?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, and Yu Chihui relieved his physical discomfort and told her in a hoarse voice: "He said that he would do his best to give you the best, and he would try his best to obey your wishes, as long as you are willing to ask."

"I thought it was impossible at the time, so I asked him again like a joke, if you asked him to give up everything he already owned and live a simple and ordinary married life with you, would he be willing?"

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This principle is the same when it comes to status.

Before today, Shen Yuan had thought about this possibility, but she suppressed it herself.

She thought it was impossible. With Pei Zhaoxue's temperament, how could he do something so inconsistent with his standards?

Even when she was bullied in the past, he had to tell her about putting interests first and putting the best priorities first.

But now, since Yu Chihui would say this and was sure that she was Pei Zhaoxue's weakness, she felt that it shouldn't be that simple.

As expected, I soon heard Yu Chihui continue: "He told me in a very calm tone that if this is what you want, he can naturally do it. It didn't seem like he was joking. From then on From then on, I knew that he, who I always thought had no weaknesses, had a weakness."

After listening to what Yu Chihui said, Shen Yuan was still in a daze when she came out of the prison cell.

I don't know how she should face Pei Zhaoxue now.

The preconceptions in her previous life made her completely disappointed with him, and she tried her best to put all the blame on him.

Even if her doubts were answered one by one and Pei Zhaoxue's crimes were gradually washed away by the facts, she still couldn't untie her knot.

Because she felt that all of this happened after he really fell in love with her. Before he fell in love with her, he still accepted her, causing a lot of harm to her, which are all indelible.

Now he told her that she had guessed wrong even about this matter?

Pei Zhaoxue saw that Shen Yuan's eyes were in a trance after coming out, and she guessed that Yu Chihui must have said something to her.

After entering, I wanted to ask, but I learned that Yu Chihui had bitten his tongue and committed suicide.

In the autumn of the 13th year of Chengde, the regent and his party were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital, and all the power in the Queen Mother's hands was taken back by the emperor.

Pei Zhaoxue secured the position of prime minister and minister, and concurrently served as the crown prince and grand master. He was extremely famous for a while. Countless people wanted to marry him and fill the emptiness in his backyard, but he refused one by one. He seemed to have no intention of doing so.

But only Mo Yi and Mo Er, who were following him, knew that this was not the case.

Since the regent's party was caught and the culprit who poisoned Shen Yuan was found out, Shen Yuan's attitude towards Pei Zhaoxue has softened a lot, maybe because of this incident.

Pei Zhaoxue therefore ran to Shen Yuan more frequently.

But along the way, he inevitably bumped into Shen Xuan and Cui Shao. Sometimes, he would see Yun Qianqiu dominating Shen Yuan.

He rarely got the chance to be alone with her. However, it was better than not being allowed to even see her.

In a blink of an eye, it’s early winter, the time for new clothes.

Shen Yuan just came back from duty at Honglu Temple that day, and she found Cui Shao in her courtyard, with a rather troubled and hesitant expression. One look, and she knew that he had something important to say.

She changed into her official uniform and came out and asked him, what trouble did she encounter?

"No." The young man flashed his eyes and said that he just came here to choose the fabric and style of winter clothes.

Shen Yuan saw that he was hiding something, but she didn't expose it. She took him to the nearest chain of good clothing stores and carefully helped him choose styles without rushing him.

When dusk fell and winter clothes were packed away, Cui Shao finally seemed to have made up his mind and asked Shen Yuan with complicated eyes, "Are you busy at night?"

"Fortunately, there is nothing to do today."

"It's inconvenient for you. Let me stay at your place for one night. I have something very important to discuss with you."

Cui Shao has not stayed overnight in her hospital for a long time. It is said that once or twice is fine. If it happens too many times, it will inevitably damage her reputation if people know about it.

It was rare to make such a request today, and Shen Yuan became more and more certain that he must have encountered something extremely important.

That night, Shen Yuan looked at the young man sitting at the dinner table but had no intention of moving his chopsticks, and took the initiative to break the silence.

"What's the matter? Just tell me. What's the relationship between you and me? Why are you so hesitant?"

Cui Shao came to his senses, put down his chopsticks, and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, little Yuan'er, I lied to you about something."

"My identity is not as simple as I told you before. On the contrary, it is extremely complicated."

Shen Yuan was not surprised by this. She had traces of this in her previous life.

But in this life, she had no way of knowing about it, so she naturally had to pretend to be surprised.

"how do I say this?"

Cui Shao lowered his head, like a puppy that had done something wrong: "You should also know that the former general's palace was loyal to the second prince's party, right?"

Shen Yuan naturally knew this.

The previous dynasty's general's palace was full of loyal people, but because they were in the wrong team, they all ended up being executed. It is really sad.

Cui Shao clenched his fists and told Shen Yuan in a mute voice that he was the only heir of the General's Mansion who should have also been killed.

"If it hadn't been for my wet nurse to save my life with a relative's heir, I wouldn't have a chance to survive in this world now."

"I originally planned to reveal this to you only when my great revenge is avenged, but now the fact that you have a very close relationship with me has been known to many people. If you continue to be kept in the dark, what unreasonable disaster will you suffer in the future? , that’s my sin.”

Regarding Cui Shao's identity, Shen Yuan had made many inferences before, but she never thought that it would be such a person who was beyond her expectation.

After the shock, I calmed down and asked him what his plans were next. (End of chapter)
