Chapter 511 The Beauty of Adulthood
"But I have." She said, "Before I was 14 years old, I used to feel that a day is so long, and a year is so long. At that time, someone persuaded me that it would be fine to just endure it, and when I was old, I would marry someone. alright.

"So for a while, I really hoped that you would go to Beijing as soon as possible and marry me there as soon as possible.

"But then I found out that getting married won't save me at all.

"What I need is not marriage at all, nor is it a good husband, but whether I have the courage to choose a free life.

"No one can really save me but myself."

When she was blocked by Ji Jie in the alley, she wished she had never been to this world.

That was her worst nightmare, and what was even more frightening was that she had tried her best to avoid it in this life, but she had taken every precaution and still almost fell into his way.

The words when Shen Xi stuffed the scissors into her hands were still engraved in her mind, maybe at that time she really realized clearly that only she can control her own destiny.

"I know it's deviant, even weird, to think so. It's very unfair to the young master and the Mei family, but life is also short. Sometimes when you want to live for yourself, you don't have the time to be with me. Here's the chance."

It was the first time Mei Qiying heard her talk so much.

It was also the first time to talk so much with a girl.

He was surprised that there was such a vicissitudes of mind under her youthful appearance.

Even he, who is often praised for his extensive knowledge, has never thought about what she said.

"I see." He put the cup down and said, "But right now, retiring the engagement is not a matter for the two of us to decide.

"Even though I have the heart of adult beauty, I can't match the wishes of the elders of the two families.

"Frankly speaking, if it is up to me to propose, I will not only lack a proper reason, but also easily cause damage to the girl's reputation.

"If it is proposed by the girl—the difficulty on the girl's side is probably no less than mine.

"However, if the girl thinks it over, I can cooperate with you. Otherwise, if you raise it alone, the Shen family may not make it easy for you."

After hearing what he said, Shen Yan's nose felt a little sore.

She was actually a little embarrassed. After all, there were not many people who were thick-skinned enough to mention divorce to their engagement partner openly. If it weren't for the fact that she knew him to a certain extent in her previous life, she would not have said what she just said.

And he actually agreed, not only agreeing, but also thinking of her like this!
"Mr. Mei—"

"You can call me Qiying." He raised his lips, "Since our two families are family friends, you and I can at least be regarded as family brothers and sisters."

Shen Yan smiled with red eyes and nodded.

Mei Qiying looked at her, and laughed again: "To be honest, I actually don't have any feelings for you.

"I didn't care in the past, but after witnessing the relationship between the son and the concubine, and when Huo Jiu couldn't let go of you, I also wondered what it would be like to meet someone who agreed with me. a feeling of?
"Thanks to you, I also began to look forward to the appearance of such a person."

"Mei-Qiying, I'm really sorry, you don't need to do anything about this matter, I want to divorce the engagement, so I'll bear all the consequences." Chen Yan was very embarrassed.

Originally, she didn't know how to talk to Shen Chongguang, but now that she has made his statement, why is she still hesitating?
Of course Shen Chongguang would not agree, but if she refused to marry until she died, at most he would send her to a farm or temple.

Although she was very sorry that the trouble had caused the Shen family's reputation to suffer, and the life in the farm and the temple was destined to be difficult, but if she could win it over, then she would be worthy of herself.

In this life, she did not live in vain!

Mei Qiying could imagine what kind of situation she would face, but he pondered and didn't say anything.

Maybe he also began to be curious about her, as weak as her, how far can he go to fight against fate?

Shen Yan kept sending him to the gate.

"You're still right. It really doesn't make sense to bind two people with different goals together." Mei Qiying sat on the horse, turned her head and smiled at her. "Miss of the Shen family, she has extraordinary insight after all."

Shen Yan was a little embarrassed, and she thought his words were flattery: "The truly extraordinary person should be my second sister."

"No, you are the same." Mei Qiying looked at him deeply: "Even though your second sister is as radiant as the sun, you also have a star brilliance that is hard for others to match. You are not bad."

After speaking, he rode his horse and walked towards the street.

Shen Yan watched him disappear into the street, then pursed her lips again, turned and went back to the house.

In the opposite direction from Mei Qiying's departure, Huo Jiu sat on the horse and kicked the horse indifferently.

He didn't know why he came here, it must have been a coincidence.

Seeing how the two of them chatted so harmoniously, why should he do this?

At the Shushu, after Huo Jiu left, He Lanzhun drank two more cups of tea, and the servant came over and said, "Mr. Luo is here."

"Please come in." He gestured and looked towards the door. In a blink of an eye, Luo Yifeng walked in steadily under the guidance of the servant.

"My lord." He cupped his hands.

"You're welcome, sir." He Lanzhun motioned to sit down, poured tea for him, and asked, "How is the situation in the camp?"

"There is still no progress." Luo Yifeng frowned, "The eight generals disagree.

"Jiang Che and Chen Jian and Chen Lan still agree with the Yan Palace because they saw it with their own eyes in Qianqing Palace that day, but the other five still believe that the Yan Palace is also one of the executioners who overthrew Daqin. But they refused to disperse, saying that they would not let Helian become emperor."

He Lanzhun frowned.

The subjugation of the Qin Dynasty was not entirely the fault of Xiao Fang and Li Ding's rebellion.

If it must be said, the bigger mistake can only be attributed to the racial conflicts created by the nobles of Helian for hundreds of years.

But these truth soldiers will not understand.

There are too few of them who are well-educated. They only know that Daqin was indeed brought down by the Tuoba people, and the Tuoba people are their enemies.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, the ownership of the throne is a foregone conclusion.

How could it be possible to make changes because of their words?

And in his heart, he didn't want any suspicion between Qin Jun and Yan Wang's mansion to be planted, so he managed to send Mei Qiying and Huo Jiu away, so that he could have a private conversation with Luo Yifeng.

"This is unrealistic." He said, "It's no joke to rule the country. Just because of what the Helian people have endured over the years, it is proposed that the Helian people be emperors, and then continue the conflicts between the three clans." Will it develop?

"The conflict between the three clans must be resolutely stopped right now. From now on, all the clans in the world will be united into one family, with blood blending, intermarriage and reproduction, so that they can be called the benefit of the people!"
