Shen Miao said, “Let nature take its course.”
“You can’t marry the crown prince,” Pei Lang said.
“It doesn’t matter if I marry him or not.” What Shen Miao hated the most was Pei Lang’s confident expression, as if he had everything in his control. She said coldly, “Even if I marry him, I might not have a bad life. I’ll use what I have to achieve my goals. The path is paved by oneself. Every path leads to a different destination Mr. Pei, do you think there’s only one path in this world?”
“That’s not what I an.” Pei Lang sighed and said, “It’s just that using your marriage to pave the way is too cruel for you. It’s really not worth it.”
!!
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Pei Lang.
Pei Lang actually said, “Using your marriage to pave the way is too cruel for you.” In her previous life, when Wanyu was about to marry the Xiongnu, Shen Miao had once begged Pei Lang because Pei Lang was Fu Xiuyi’s trusted aide. At that ti, Pei Lang told Shen Miao, “Your Highness, isn’t it a good thing to exchange a princess’s marriage for the safety of Ming Qi and the welfare of the people?”
Pei Lang, who always prioritized the overall situation, actually placed the overall situation second.
Pei Lang did not notice Shen Miao’s expression. He continued, “Now that the royal family has spread the news, no one in the capital dares to marry you”
Shen Miao said, “So what?”
“If you have to marry soone, marry ,” Pei Lang said.
The air seed to have beco unbearably silent for a mont. However, to Pei Lang’s surprise, Shen Miao stared at him without shock or shyness. Looking at him seriously, she even seed to be a little cold. She asked, “What are you talking about?”
Pei Lang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart. Stated by that pair of clear eyes, Pei Lang felt that his secret wish see to have been seen through. In an instant, he beca embarrassed.
Pei Lang avoided Shen Miao’s gaze and composed himself before continuing, “You can’t marry into the Eastern Palace. You have to marry soone else to get out of the situation. If you marry , you might be able to protect yourself.”
“Mr. Pei, why are you helping ?” Shen Miao asked softly. There seed to be so other emotion in her voice that was unfathomable. She said, “We’re just tied together by a deal because of Liu Ying. From the beginning to the end, I’ve been threatening you. If I’m in trouble, won’t it be advantageous for you? Serving Fu Xiuyi is thousands of tis better than serving .”
There was a hint of mockery in Shen Miao’s words, which made Pei Lang feel inexplicably sad. Pei Lang didn’t know why Shen Miao was sotis friendly to him and sotis seed to be hostile to him. Perhaps won were all so fickle.
However, he could not give an answer to Shen Miao’s question, because he did not know why he did this either.
Shen Miao smiled. “Even if I want to marry you, what identity do you want to use to marry ? How will you explain it to Prince Ding? You will expose your identity because of it. Mr. Pei, you are a good chess piece. I don’t want to use you so casually.”
“Besides.” She raised her chin slightly. “Marriage is not as important to as you think. Other than eating and sleeping together, a husband is no different from a stranger in my eyes. I don’t care who I marry. I don’t care if I’ll be forced to marry. My happiness won’t depend on this.”
