Li Zhen was drunk that night, which was one of the few times he lost his composure.

Li Zhen was a gentleman, and even though he knew his wife was no longer the same person she once was, he still wanted to just live his life like this. After all, he married her in a formal way, and he couldn't let her down.

The most absurd thought that flashed through my mind was to wonder if this was a lie Song Ningyan made up in order to leave me?

He couldn't deceive himself. He had liked the little girl next to his sister since he was a child, and he knew her every move.

It's not that he couldn't notice the changes in her during their marriage, but he deliberately ignored the minor changes.

Li Zhen didn't understand, was it because he didn't love the original Song Ningyan enough? Even if she didn't love him, so what? Why did fate have to let her die early?

Now that's it, another girl has been delayed for nothing.

He suddenly felt a little envious of his eldest brother. Although his eldest brother and his wife were not in love with each other before they got married, and it could be said to be a cold marriage between two families, they are now very much in love.

Li Zhen really envied him that the woman he loved was living in good health in this world.

Li Zhen has always loved Song Ningyan, whom he first met when they were young, but he will not treat her unfairly just because of Song Ningyan's arrival. Now that Song Ningyan has done him a favor, he will naturally treat her with courtesy.

But Li Zhen didn't know that Song Ningyan was now a woman with flesh and blood and backbone. She knew clearly that he didn't love her, so she would not use Xiaoyan's skin to steal things that didn't belong to her.

Even if she has secretly fallen in love with Li Zhen, she will leave gracefully.

Let it be, it will be fine. If we continue to argue, it will be bad for both sides.

In Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun's room.

Shen Changyun looked at her somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam, Madam?"

Li Qingqian interrupted with a blank expression, "No, I don't dare to worry about Master Shen calling me 'wife'. Didn't someone say before that he wanted to divorce me?"

Shen Changyun felt depressed: It's over, she is going to start settling old scores with me.

He smiled awkwardly, "My lady, this is so polite. You are naturally my best lady."

Li Qingqian curled her lips and chuckled, imitating his previous tone and said, "Let's get divorced. If Miss Li San is determined not to let me go, then I can only write a divorce letter."

Shen Changyun really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Li Qingqian continued, "You were supposed to marry into a rich family, but your husband's family divorced you. Miss Li San, do you want to be the most laughed at in the capital? It would be better if we divorced now, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other's marriage, which is not bad for respect."

Shen Changyun held his forehead with shame, "Madam, please stop talking."

Li Qingqian sighed and stopped teasing him, "Do you regret it now? Shen Changyun, you really make me sad. I'm still pregnant, and you're already saying you want to divorce me."

Shen Changyun came up behind her dejectedly and massaged her shoulders. "I was worried about your physical pain at the time. Later, when I broke free from the rope and wanted to go out to find you, I happened to meet the Western Region witch. She told me that as long as the person holding the pen is gone, you will be free."

His voice got lower and lower: "Really, why didn't she tell me when she showed me your birth hexagram wooden plaque..."

The more Li Qingqian listened to this, the more she felt something was wrong. She shook off his hand on her shoulder and looked up at him, "So what you mean is that if there is no way to break this problem, you will definitely divorce me?"

Shen Changyun did not explain, but nodded insistently.

"Shen Changyun! You don't even want to coax me now?"

He sighed, squatted down in front of her, and held her snow-white soft hands, "But I really don't want you to suffer from any illness, Qianqian. I'm really scared now."

He is not a good man, nor a good husband.

He is mean, dark, and has low self-esteem. He needs to repeatedly confirm to Li Qingqian her love for him.

Fortunately, during this period of time, he did get what he wanted.

Now, he could no longer do the ridiculous thing he did to her that night in the palace.

Rather than insisting on keeping her by his side, Shen Changyun hoped that she could live in peace and happiness.

Even if he will no longer exist in her future life.

Li Qingqian was so disappointed that she took a deep breath and said, "Shen Changyun, we have known each other for so long. When have you ever gone crazy? I have always been the one to comfort you. Since I have chosen you, I will definitely treat you sincerely."

"Or, have you ever thought that I love you so much that if one day I really have to leave you, I will suffer more intense and painful heartache than when I was with you."

"I thought I was your wife who would stick with you through thick and thin. If being with you made me happy, this heartache wouldn't be a big deal to me."

Shen Changyun looked up at her with some surprise, but Li Qingqian avoided his gaze.

"But when you encountered such a thing, your first thought was to divorce me. Really, after making me as bad and crazy as you, you actually wanted to leave me. If people in the capital knew about this, where would I put my face?"

She said these words in anger, but Shen Changyun felt for the first time that Qianqian's love for him was no less than his.

At this point, Li Qingqian turned around and looked at him and said, "If you dare to ask for a divorce again, do you know what will happen to you?"

Shen Changyun was stunned for a moment. In fact, when Song Ningyan entered the woodshed to see what was going on inside, he could also catch a glimpse of it from his angle.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a pile of meat in a small jar. Li Qingqian's scorpion and the falcon that later broke into the woodshed were frantically gnawing at the meat.

Next to the small jar, there lay a pile of scattered bones and a complete skin.

Shen Changyun couldn't help swallowing.

Li Qingqian gently lifted his chin with one finger, "I have a brilliant way to trap you by my side. Do you have the courage to try it?"

Looking at the innocent and cruel smile on her face, Shen Changyun suddenly smiled and put her hand on his cheek.

"As a husband, I will naturally obey my wife's orders."

Li Zhen's mission to Xiliang went smoothly and he was about to return to the court to report.

In the inn in Meyer City, he asked Song Ningyan with some hesitation whether she wanted to go with him. If she didn't want to, he would return to the capital and take care of everything, and Song Ningyan would be free from then on.

Song Ningyan held the letter in her hand and smiled slightly: "I have to go back to Dawei first. There are still some things to be done in Ding'an Marquis Mansion."

Signing the divorce agreement with Li Zhen cannot be done by him alone, and before leaving the capital, she must go to pay homage to Xiaoyan's cenotaph and place her biological mother's tablet there.

So Song Ningyan followed Li Zhen back.

But Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun cannot go back now.

"Although my pregnancy is almost complete, we still have to hurry up on our trip to Beiyuan this time."

Shen Changyun originally wanted to send her back to the court, but after thinking about it, he decided to let her follow him.

He glanced at the eagle soaring in the sky, the scorpion hiding beside her, and a poisonous snake from the Western Regions that had been tamed by Li Qingqian at some point, which was coiled around Li Qingqian's arm and was being intimate with her.

Shen Changyun curled the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he probably didn't need to worry about it anymore.
