Upon learning that the distinguished guest welcod by Shen ng and ng Zhai into the mansion was Xue Ning, Liang Jue had been restless. Using his discomfort as an excuse, he ended the lesson for ng Zhai’s husband early today.
If Xue Ning hadn’t appeared, he would almost have forgotten about the past between him and Xue Ning. There was one thing he had kept from Shen ng all along: since their daughter, Shen Ping An, was born, he had often dread intermittently of himself in another world.
In that world, there was him, Shen ng, and Xue Ning, but their daughter, Shen Ping An, was absent. Because Shen Ping An hadn’t been born yet, he had a miscarriage, and they didn’t even know if the child was a boy or a girl.
In that world, Shen ng wasn’t kind to him at all. The only thing that hadn’t changed was his love for her, even to the point of divorcing her to fulfill Shen ng’s wishes.
No, there was still a difference. In this life, he was much more possessive than the Liang Jue in those dreams. If Shen ng wanted to divorce him to marry Xue Ning, he would absolutely not agree and wouldn’t allow it to happen.
When Shen ng returned to the mansion, Liang Jue still maintained this uneasy state. However, today’s impact from Xue Ning was quite significant, and for a mont, she didn’t pay attention to Liang Jue’s mood.
It wasn’t until Liang Jue asked, “I heard that today the Lord brought back a distinguished guest from outside.”
“It’s not just any distinguished guest; it’s a person of noble status,” Shen ng replied.
Liang Jue then asked with a heavy heart, “What is the person’s identity?” He didn’t want Shen ng to lie to him or withhold information.
Shen ng finally glanced at him more. “You don’t usually ask about this. Why are you suddenly interested today?”
Liang Jue remained silent, only looking at Shen ng with dark eyes.
Liang Jue had always been reserved and had his own boundaries. Thinking that there was nothing particularly important about telling him, Shen ng closed the door and told him truthfully, “It’s the Third Prince, Xue Ning.”
Xue Ning’s mother had beco the forr Empress, and now Xue Ning was increasingly resembling the one she rembered.
Liang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Shen ng had told him the truth. He figured his wife didn’t have any special thoughts about Xue Ning.
Shen ng didn’t, but Xue Ning might still have so. Liang Jue then asked, “What did he co for this ti?”
“He brought the imperial jade seal, saying he values our Lord’s promising future and has co to seek refuge, hoping for a good future for himself.”
This conversation is indeed ambiguous. A prince who is not yet married, carrying a treasure coveted by all, cos to seek refuge with a young and promising leader of the rebel army. Although the rebel leader has humble origins, beauty matches heroism. If ng Zhai establishes his own power, he would indeed be a suitable match for the prince of the forr dynasty.
Regardless of what the distinguished guest brought, a young, beautiful, and prestigious man like him would naturally arouse feelings of crisis in others. It’s no wonder Mr. Li is so flustered.
Recalling the way ng Zhai looked at Xue Ning, Shen ng sighed, “It seems that the Lord is interested in Xue Ning, but I worry that the goddess is willing, while the prince is heartless.”
ng Zhai’s husband, despite his humble origins, is simple and sincere as a husband. But no matter how much he learns etiquette from Liang Jue, he will always pale in comparison to Xue Ning. Moreover, Xue Ning is truly handso; even without makeup, he surpasses Li Wen by leaps and bounds.
“Do you know what he exchanged for the imperial jade seal?” Liang Jue’s heart skipped a beat, prompting him to ask hurriedly.
“Why are you so concerned about his affairs?” Probably due to the heavy burden on his mind, Liang Jue’s tone sounded sowhat impatient, which was unusual for him. Shen ng, being naturally observant, sensed that sothing was off.
“He once admired you when he was in the capital. I’m just worried that now that he has the imperial jade seal, he wants to exchange it to beco your husband.”
“What nonsense are you thinking again? That’s all many years ago.” Shen ng never expected Liang Jue to think along these lines. She sighed, “Do you really think your wife is such a precious commodity that a prince has been pining for all these years, even now, willing to stake so much just to exchange for soone by my side?”
In Shen ng’s mind, Xue Ning and herself actually shared so similarities. Liang Jue’s paranoid nature might lead him to such thoughts, but Xue Ning shouldn’t be capable of such things.
“Why wouldn’t it be possible?” Liang Jue muttered, “After all, such things have happened in past lives.”
Yes, perhaps those dreams were continuous and detailed enough for Liang Jue to believe they were mories of his and Shen ng’s past lives.
His voice was low, almost deliberately suppressed, but Shen ng’s hearing was excellent, and she heard every word clearly.
So as soon as Liang Jue finished speaking, she raised her voice, “Repeat what you just said!”
Liang Jue spoke loudly, “I said, why wouldn’t it be possible?”
“I ant the second part, where you said, ‘such things have happened in past lives.’ Can it be that Liang Jue also has mories of past lives?”
Finally unable to hold back, Liang Jue stared into Shen ng’s eyes and said, word by word, “Yes, such things did happen in past lives. He once tried to steal my wife. Why wouldn’t he try again?”
He also wanted to know what was so special about Shen ng that two n were so infatuated with her. Regardless of Shen ng’s feelings, he just liked her, and that was sothing he couldn’t control.
