After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"Prince?" Shen Shixin raised his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

After all, what happened between him and Zhu Qing'an was their private matter. Logically speaking, a cold-hearted person like Bian Jingsheng shouldn't have asked about it.

Bian Jingsheng raised his eyes, and his eyes were filled with a hint of anger, which made Shen Shixin suddenly feel pressured.

"This time I have met the true love of my life!" Shen Shixin explained. When he said this, he also felt that it was inappropriate and his face was ashamed.

"Oh!" Bian Jingsheng's lips curled slightly, his expression filled with cold sarcasm. "True love? Lord Shen's true love is ever-changing! If I remember correctly, when the late Emperor arranged the marriage, the Queen Mother asked Lord Shen for his opinion. Lord Shen was deeply in love with Princess Yongfu. How could it be that, in just a few short years, Lord Shen has changed his mind?"

Bian Jingsheng's words were like a slap on Shen Shixin's face, making him blush and his eyes wander around.

"Your humble servant...your humble servant..." Shen Shixin felt his heartbeat quicken under Bian Jingsheng's sharp gaze, and he stumbled over his explanation, "Your humble servant was young and didn't understand love back then. I mistook admiration for love. It's your humble servant's fault!"

"What a young and ignorant person you are! I never knew Lord Shen could be so sharp-tongued!" Bian Jingsheng pinched his fingers and really wanted to pinch Shen Shixin to death at this moment.

Given Shen Shixin's frailty, he could definitely kill him in an instant.

"It was the princess's request that Lord Shen be appointed as the imperial envoy to oversee the construction of the river! When she heard that Lord Shen was in trouble, she ran around begging the court to send people to rescue him. She even went so far as to come in person. I never expected that this is how Lord Shen would repay her! It really broadened my horizons!" Every word of Bian Jingsheng was as sharp as a knife.

He couldn't help but think of the hardships Zhu Qing'an had gone through along the way, her worries about Shen Shixin, and her love that had been wasted. Besides feeling distressed, he felt it was not worth it.

"This humble official admits that all my mistakes are my fault. If I can calm the princess down, I will let her deal with me!" Shen Shixin's words were clear. "But this humble official does not want to deceive the princess. I cannot marry her and fall in love with someone else. It is unfair to her!"

Shen Shixin has his own bottom line. Falling in love with someone else is something he cannot control, but he never thought that having someone else in his heart would ruin Zhu Qingan's marriage.

"You also know that it's unfair? What? Should I applaud you and praise you for your courage to take responsibility?" Bian Jingsheng smiled angrily, his smile sinister.

Most men in this world are heartless. Bian Jingsheng, being a man himself, knows this all too well. In fact, Shen Shixin is much better than many men. At least he's honest.

But whenever he thought about how he had let Zhu Qing'an down, the murderous intent in his heart kept coming.

Shen Shixin was upset by Bian Jingsheng's repeated questioning. He already felt guilty, and now Bian Jingsheng slapped him in the face so bluntly. Even though he knew that Bian Jingsheng held great power, he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"This is a private matter between me and the princess. I will handle it properly, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it!" Shen Shixin bowed, and his tone was not very good.

Bian Jingsheng stood up and walked towards Shen Shixin step by step.

Every step seemed to contain a huge murderous intent. Shen Shixin also noticed this murderous intent. He retreated step by step until he had no room to retreat.

"Deal with the aftermath, otherwise..." Bian Jingsheng didn't say it, but that look made Shen Shixin understand, otherwise he would be killed.

Zhu Qing'an didn't know that Bian Jingsheng had warned Shen Shixin. She couldn't sleep all night, and her mind was full of what Shen Shixin said in the carriage.

The next day, Zhu Qing'an woke up and prepared to leave. She came for Shen Shixin. Now that Shen Shixin was safe, she had no desire to stay any longer.

What's more, she doesn't know how to face Shen Shixin now.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shixin found Zhu Qingan the next day and wanted to have a good talk with him.

Perhaps it was because of Bian Jingsheng's enlightenment, or perhaps it was because she had calmed down after a night, but she was able to face Shen Shixin.

The two of them sat in the pavilion in the magistrate's backyard. The two who had once been ambiguous with each other now had their own thoughts.

It was Zhu Qingan who spoke first. She tried to act normal and asked, "Whose family is that girl from?"

Hearing Zhu Qingan's mention, Shen Shixin looked very lonely. "That female doctor saved me at that time, and left after I got better. She didn't leave her name, and I don't know where she is from!"

Zhu Qing'an listened, not knowing whether to admire Shen Shixin or laugh at him.

He is truly a man of integrity and honesty, yet he can express his love for a girl whose identity he doesn't even know, a girl he may never be with in his entire life.

"Then what should Mr. Shen do?" Zhu Qing'an asked.

"I'll find her!"

"What if I can't find it?"

"it does not matter!"

At this moment, Zhu Qing'an understood that Shen Shixin really loved that girl, so he was willing to wait even if there was no result.

"Princess..." Shen Shixin wanted to speak, but Zhu Qing'an seemed to understand what he wanted to say and raised his hand to interrupt Shen Shixin.

"Shen Shixin!" Zhu Qing'an looked into Shen Shixin's eyes. His eyes were clear and warm. What familiar eyes. But in Shen Shixin's previous life, there was always a layer of gloom in his eyes. It was different after all.

"If... I mean if, if there hadn't been this accident, if you hadn't met that girl, would you have fallen in love with me?"

Shen Shixin thought for a long time before answering, "I don't know! Maybe I will fall in love with the princess, or maybe I will never know what love is in my life!"

My heart is broken.

"So, in your heart, is my life more important than yours? Will you save money to buy me a hairpin? Will you protect me from the rumors? Will you..." Zhu Qing'an suddenly couldn't continue, because she suddenly understood, understood that everything was like a dream, a dream that belonged to her alone.

Shen Shixin didn't know why, but Zhu Qing'an looked so sad in front of him.

"Princess, at this critical moment of life and death, I may not be able to consider your life more important than mine! Besides, you are so noble, it's just a hairpin. As for the rumors, you are so capable, I'm afraid you don't need my protection!" Shen Shixin weighed every word carefully.

Listening to Shen Shixin's words, Zhu Qing'an cruelly learned the truth.

She thought that she could stay with Shen Shixin for the rest of her life, but she forgot that without those memories, would Shen Shixin still be the same Shen Shixin.

Perhaps they were never alone.

It was me, immersed in an absurd dream, struggling and refusing to let go.

The Shen Shixin who loved her really existed, but the Shen Shixin who loved her and was willing to give up his life for her had died in the previous life.
