After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Xie Shuheng's jealousy has now reached its peak.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhiyun was rather oblivious and didn't notice the change in his emotions. For Jiang Zhiyun, doing these things was quite natural and casual.

"It's nothing. After thinking about it carefully, if there were more people in the palace, we could play cards together, or even read books together. It wouldn't be so bad."

"In fact, many people cannot refuse. Since we have become the empress and empress, we must make sure we have all the necessary preparations."

Jiang Zhiyun spoke these words in a rambling manner, as if she had a concrete consideration of everything.

But to Xie Shuheng, these words were simply four words: I don't love you.

Yes, only someone who doesn't love another person would weigh the pros and cons like this, and would rationally analyze these things with themselves here.

At this moment, Xie Shuheng's eyes were filled with helplessness towards Jiang Zhiyun.

She was even a little angry: "Yunniang, why can't you have a little more faith in me?"

"If I say I will do it, I will definitely do it."

Jiang Zhiyun didn't not want to, she just didn't dare.

Now her eyes are somewhat evasive.

She had always believed in sincerity, but sincerity is fickle. Seeing the Duke of Wei and Song Yu's appearance today only deepened her sorrow. How could the Duke of Wei not love Song Yu? After all, he had steadfastly chosen her so many times before, and Song Yu had entered the Duke of Wei's household because of love. Even the daughter of a high-ranking official, with no reputation, had become a laughingstock.

There's never anything that can be said about this; at least at that time, they were in love. Later, Lan Fei came along, but she continued to live her own life, ignoring their affections.

Now that Lan Fei is gone, the Duke of Wei feels pressured and begins to take advantage of his beloved concubine. It was at this moment that Song Yu felt all the affection and effort they had previously put into maintaining their relationship had vanished. People often choose what is most beneficial to themselves.

Now that Song Yu has seen through all of this and understands what's going on, he came to find Jiang Zhiyun to explain things clearly, and only then did he feel at peace.

However, Jiang Zhiyun could sense that Song Yu was very hurt.

Fortunately, I still have my senses and know to protect my belongings. It's just strange... how can feelings between people change so quickly? Sometimes it feels like there's no way to clear them away.

If you keep cutting and sorting it out, it will become messy.

Xie Shuheng likes Jiang Zhiyun this year, and he'll like her again next year, and he'll still like her in the future... or maybe he'll get tired of her someday?

Time will prove many things.

Therefore, Yunniang never imagined that she would need to rely on her own preferences to maintain her life, or on Xie Shuheng's affection to move forward, or to obtain everything she desired most.

What she possesses herself is what lasts the longest.

How could Xie Shuheng not sense the evasive look in Yunniang's eyes?

They already have two children, and the youngest one, a girl, looks most like Xie Shuheng.

Yunniang even took great care of the two children. During this time, Xie Shuheng knew that she liked children and wanted to sleep with them. In addition, he couldn't control himself when he saw Yunniang at night, so they rarely slept together.

Therefore, Yunniang and Xie Shuheng haven't been together for a long time. Xie Shuheng is now even more jealous.

He wondered if Yunniang simply didn't want to be with him in the first place...

She doesn't like him anymore, and she doesn't even like lying next to him. Now she doesn't even trust him anymore. Is the love he's worked so hard to cultivate about to fade away again?

Xie Shuheng had always known that Yunniang loved her physical appearance far more than he did.

More often than not, Jiang Zhiyun would swoon and laugh out loud when she looked at her own face, and Xie Shuheng hoped that they could continue like this forever.

He has clearly not been seduced by himself.

Xie Shuheng was now certain that Yunniang must have thought his face was rather normal, that she had gotten used to it and that it no longer held any significance for her, which was why she had stopped looking at it.

Therefore, love really can disappear.

It was fine at first, but Xie Shuheng has always been a person who overthinks things. Now, in a short time, he has found a lot of evidence that Yunniang doesn't love him.

So Xie Shuheng felt bad.

He stood up and left in silence.

Without saying much, Jiang Zhiyun didn't even look at her much, because the baby she was holding in her arms was already fast asleep, and Jiang Zhiyun was afraid that Xie Shuheng's loud voice would wake the baby.

It's actually quite good to just walk out like this.

Yunniang was very satisfied.

Xie Shuheng kept turning back to look at Yunniang, trying to see if there was any change in her expression. After all these years, Xie Shuheng could still tell if Jiang Zhiyun's expression changed slightly.

but……

But now, looking at Jiang Zhiyun, her brows are relaxed, and she even has a warm smile, which is a million times better than her previous expression.

It was obvious that Jiang Zhiyun was even happier.

Thinking about this realization, Xie Shuheng felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his chest.

Why is this the case?

How come they just stopped talking to me so easily?

Xie Shuheng went out, looking slightly lost.

He eventually went to find his good friend Xu Yao, and appeared at Xu Yao's door in the middle of the night. He heard some ambiguous sounds coming from inside the house, but then decided against it.

Xie Shuheng led Ye Jiu through the darkness and finally found a stranger, his friend Shen Huichuan, who was being punished by his wife to kneel.

Shen Huichuan knelt at the doorway, dozing off without saying a word, intending to lie down on the spot.

Xie Shuheng appeared like a ghost, and said with some disdain, "That's it?"

"He has no manly spirit at all."

Shen Huichuan was speechless: "..."

Xie Shuheng saw this unmanly side of him again; who knows how long he'll be ridiculed for it!

"Don't laugh at me now."

"You're here because your wife kicked you out too."

"..." Xie Shuheng didn't say anything. As expected of his good friend, they all had sharp eyes at this time.

"I'll invite you for a drink." Xie Shuheng was feeling frustrated; he always needed someone to drink with, otherwise he wouldn't have anywhere to eat for a long time.

"I can't. If I go drinking with you and Liu Fangshu doesn't see me when she comes out, it won't just be a matter of kneeling all night."

"Xu Yao is also busy at this time, and Brother Mao Wu is even busier. He's spending all his time with Sister-in-law Cuilian, and they have a very good relationship."

"Go find Lu Shao. He's your rival in love. After thinking it over, the two of you are the most suitable match."
