Heinous

If Xue Zhe were to comment on Mu Liansong, he might have used praiseworthy adjectives such as "handsome", "a hero of a generation", and "gentle and elegant", but recently, all of the above have been completely replaced by "persistence"—or To put it bluntly, stalker.

He was convinced by Mu Liansong's tenacity. Since the day of the competition, this person has come to visit him at least once a day and at least three times a day. No matter how ugly the face of the person he visited is, he still keeps coming to the door time and time again. Now, his determination and perseverance are so strong that even Xue Zhe can only sigh himself.

Unforgiveness has been in an extremely bad mood these past few days. Mu Liansong has been looking for him so diligently. Although Xue Zhe can often help him solve it, Mu Liansong will always catch the opportunity when Xue Zhe is not around.

Mu Liansong is not an idiot either. Anyone can see that he is resisting him with his attitude of not being forgiven. With his personality, he should not be so aggressive to a junior, let alone bumping into obstacles like this again and again... It's just in his heart. There was a certain desire to draw him closer to the other person, and this feeling was so strong that it made him restless.Fortunately, he still has a reason that is absolutely justifiable - the other party is one of his possible future son-in-law no matter what, so it is not too much to meet him and ask something, right?

"Where's your brother?" Mu Liansong was a little surprised that he found someone so smoothly this time.

"Going out." Bu Sheyan replied in shock.

To be precise, he was asked out by someone—not long ago, Zhu Lingling suddenly found her and sent Xue Zhe a letter.

A letter with beautiful handwriting and a faint fragrance.

"I don't know what kind of luck you had..." Zhu Lingling couldn't believe it when she handed the letter to Xue Zhe. She looked at the surprised Xue Zhe, then at the unforgiveness behind him, and muttered.

"...I want to know too." After glancing at the letter, Xue Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, with a hint of eagerness on his face, "A beautiful woman has an appointment, and it's me... Could it be that in this world, I'm Is there any beauty with a discerning eye, have you noticed it?"

His frivolous tone was naturally hard to be liked by others, Zhu Lingling grinned, said "go on time" and left.Xue Zhe put the letter away, said "I'll go out for a while" to Bushe, and then ran away without a trace.

Because of this, although Mu Liansong rarely met Xue Zhe when he was looking for someone this time, his unforgiving mood was also unprecedented.

At any rate, Mu Liansong could see that Bushe was in a bad mood after so many setbacks, and he didn't even bother to hide his dislike for him.He was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "There is a question I wanted to ask you a long time ago... Have we met before?"

"……No."

"That's weird, I don't think I'm an ugly person..." Mu Liansong touched his face, and smiled wryly, "Then where is it that makes people want to stay away?"

"..." Bushe was silent.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Liansong was not in a hurry to ask any questions, he just took the teapot from one side, poured out a cup, and poured out the cup of Bu She as well.Bushe didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, just sat there silently drinking slowly, if Bushe's glass was cold, he would remember to help him refill it, and if he repeated it, Bushe finally spoke.

"Why... do you want to enter the Prince's Mansion?"

Hearing his question, Mu Liansong was taken aback for a moment, and he put down the teacup he was holding in his hand, tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about the answer: "Is this... Your question is quite different from mine. My friend, the question is exactly the same."

He smiled: "When the news of my engagement to her first came out, the people who came to my door to persuade me not to do stupid things could almost step over the threshold of my family. Going to the position of the Prince of Yue—— Wan Guan’s family wealth and boundless power are indeed the reasons for people’s heart.”

"Then, you..." Seeing him smiling freely, I couldn't help being puzzled.

Isn't that so?

"If I hadn't been married, would there still be so many people who would think that I was aiming for the position of Prince Yue? Probably not," Mu Liansong sneered softly, "After all, although my family is no match for Prince Yue's , but I can also be regarded as everyone in the world, I want to marry the princess of the Yue Palace, and I can be called a good match..."

"It's just the difference between getting married and getting married. It seems that it's so different?"

"...Maybe." Although Bu Ai is ignorant of worldly affairs, he still knows that men in this world will never choose to marry unless they really have no choice.

"But to me, it's no different—if there is any difference, it's just that after marriage, I mostly live with my father-in-law. I'm not the eldest son. I have an older brother who takes care of my parents, but Xiangrong is under the knee of my father-in-law. The only child, if she goes with me, my reputation will be gained, but my father-in-law will have to die alone. To be filial to her, why not if I stay here?" Mu Liansong shook his head slowly. Shaking his head, "I'm still 'Muliansong', I haven't changed my surname or name, and my wife is still 'Yue Xiangrong'—"

Hearing this name, Bushe's eyes darkened slightly, but Mu Liansong didn't notice it, and said to himself: "By the way, do you have someone you like?"

Bu She was taken aback for a moment, then said after a while: "...No."

"That's right, I also know that even though you participated in this contest to recruit relatives, the way you look at Yi'er doesn't seem to be infatuated, but rather impatient," Mu Liansong said with a smile, "I used to hang out in the Jianghu At that time, I also met a few heroines, who were brave and chivalrous, and women would not give up their eyebrows. But now, their names are no longer heard in the world, and when they must be mentioned, they are mostly called Mrs. So-and-so... Not to mention right now, even if it is buried in the ground a hundred years later, the stone tablet in front of the grave can only be engraved with "the position of a certain family and so-and-so family". His own name seems to be an insignificant thing, even if it is mentioned. not worth."

"You don't have anyone you like now, but if you have someone in the future, would you be willing to do so? The name that was once in your heart, the name that you said in your mouth and remembered in your heart, is just forgotten by everyone except you. Ignore it, even you are used to it. In the end, you can't even leave a trace..."

"How is it possible..." Bushe subconsciously murmured.

What's more, even if he wanted to, that person...would never agree.

Speaking of this, Mu Liansong's face was slightly excited: "Most men in the world take this for granted, no matter how much they like it before they get married, they will never allow others to mention their wife's name, as if once married , that person should be his own personal belonging... But I don't want to be like this."

"Even if she is married to me, she is a complete person, not Mu. Therefore, getting married is not much different to me. On the contrary, the former is more convenient. At least my wife deals with people. At that time, you can show your name in an open and dignified way——” At this point, Mu Liansong’s eyes became a little more sly, “Isn’t it great? If there is any regret, it is that Yi’er didn’t want to be named Mu, but it’s a pity that she promised her to choose her own name. I’m also the one who likes the name, so it’s really not easy to play tricks on.”

Unforgiveness did not answer.

What Mu Liansong said, every word and every sentence is sincere, if he is not the best liar that Bushe has ever seen, then he is...

Everything he said was true.

But if he didn't enter the Yue Palace for power, then what was it for?

After a long silence, Bushe finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Then... what do you like more, do you think more about Yun or more about Rong?"

The moment he heard this question, Mu Liansong's expression changed.

He frowned and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"Just curious." Bu She replied flatly.

"..." Mu Liansong's face looked a bit ugly, but he didn't get angry. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "You really want to know?"

"Correct."

"Tell you, it's really nothing." Mu Liansong smiled bitterly. "In the beginning, I really wanted to marry her."

"..."

"When I was wandering around the rivers and lakes, I just answered the four words, and my heart was as high as the sky." Mu Liansong said, "It's my luck that I didn't encounter any hard problems. There are a few that I can't afford to provoke. For the sake of my parents, I don't care about me as a junior. Since I came out of the rivers and lakes, I have fought dozens of battles without a single defeat. Everyone I meet calls me 'Mu Daxia'... Now that I think about it, how many are there? Sincerely? But I listen comfortably, and I never care about what they are thinking."

"The first one who ignored me was...she." He didn't seem to want to mention Yue Xiangyun's name, but used "she" instead, "I was also confused at the time, and I just wanted her to be like someone else Seeing me differently like that, entangled and entangled for a long time... Later she went home, and I also heard the news that the Yue Palace intends to recruit a woman. I didn't think too much about it, and went as soon as my brain got hot, that's all. I'm engaged to her."

"……Then?"

"A lot of things happened after the engagement, and I can't tell you one by one. In short, she probably didn't like me all the time, but then..." Mu Liansong froze suddenly, a strangeness flashed in his eyes, he hesitated After a while, she finally didn't say what happened to "then", "...and she suddenly disappeared one month before getting married."

"Missing……"

"She said she was missing, but..." Mu Liansong shook his head, "She has a habit of being alone in a garden in the Yue Palace, and it was the same that day. But when the servant girl looked for her, she had disappeared. On the ground, There was a lot of blood left."

"Blood?!"

"Well, it's a big piece. I called the doctor to see it. He said that if a person bleeds so much, he might not survive." Mu Liansong's voice was very soft, with a hint of sadness, "I don't believe it. And Xiangrong—she also doesn’t believe it like me—searched everywhere together, and searched for more than a month, but there is not even a single clue..."

After a pause, he sighed deeply, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart: "After that, I married Xiang Rong."

"you like her?"

Mu Liansong smiled: "I've said enough, haven't I?"

"..." Indeed, considering that he was an outsider, Mu Liansong had said too much.

Maybe it was because he had been silent for too long... He actually said this to someone he had only known for a few days.Thinking of this, Mu Liansong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

But soon, he straightened his face, and said again: "I also know what outsiders think of me... Mu Liansong is greedy for power and betrays his heart. To be honest, I hope it is more like this."

Mu Liansong didn't say a word, Mu Liansong glanced at him, and smiled again.

"Maybe I'm a little clingy, or maybe you don't like to hear what I have to say...just because I'm a few years older than you, listen to me," Mu Liansong looked at Bu'ai seriously, "If one day , if you really have someone you like, then hold her tight, otherwise you will regret it for a lifetime if you make a mistake and hesitate."
