I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Ouyang Zheng, who thought he had been deceived, raised his hand and touched his shoulder, thinking very exploratively about the real relationship between him and his wife Pei Xiang.

——The five-year agreement should be true, there is no need for her to tell such a lie that will be exposed sooner or later.And, had I known that my life was short, I might have agreed to similar conditions.

——But judging from the memory picture just now, she and I have already had a skin-to-skin relationship... Does this mean that in the daily relationship after we got married, our husband and wife gradually became sympathetic, and the relationship between husband and wife has become a fake?

——In that case, why did she propose a divorce?

Ouyang Zheng carefully observed every subtle expression of Pei Xiang, trying to find some special emotion from it.

But to his disappointment, the person opposite was always relatively calm, or she was very good at concealing her true emotions, so that no one could easily pry into her heart.

——My soul-leaving disease is not incurable, but after three to five years, I can remember the past, but she can't wait to leave her former lover...

——The guards said that before I lost my memory, the relationship between our husband and wife was extremely harmonious, and there was never any unhappiness.Well, the pictures in my memory also confirm this statement. Those charming and lingering intimate contacts can already explain a lot.

——So, the accident should have happened after she went to the East China Sea to search for medicine?

Guided by various clues, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but think in the worst direction. His wife might have changed her mind and didn't like him anymore.

As soon as this idea popped up, it instantly froze the faint throbbing in Ouyang Zheng's heart without knowing it, and made him calm down again.

——But...would the woman who makes "I" fall in love really change her heart so easily?

After calming down, Ouyang Zheng tended to guess wrong again, so he asked softly:

"Does Madam have a sweetheart? After you and I leave, will Madam remarry soon?"

Pei Xiang didn't know that Ouyang Zheng misunderstood the relationship between the two because of some intermittent pictures, but he didn't intend to lie about this issue either.

She shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I haven't met anyone who truly loves me yet."

"Then why insist on reconciling? Is it because Zheng has treated you badly before?"

"The eldest son trusts me more than me. He treats me very well and is an excellent friend. As for why he insists on reconciliation? In my opinion, it is common for friends to come and go, and stay as you like. The way Xiang gets along with friends in his heart. But because of the name of husband and wife between the eldest son, they are tied together, no longer free to move, and have more scruples when interacting with others, which is not what Xiang wants."

"Sure?"

"Indeed."

— but not all reasons.

Pei Xiang secretly asked himself, if not separated, how should he and Ouyang Zheng continue to get along?

——In the past five years, although there has been a faint affection, no one has revealed this vague affection. They have always been called close friends, and tacitly decided to wait five years before making a choice.

——But now that Ouyang Zheng has forgotten the past, and everything has returned to the beginning, I have no good reason to stay.Whether alienated or close, it will only increase embarrassment and anxiety.

——If in the next three to five years, Ouyang Zheng has a new beautiful wife, let some unexplained throbbing blow away with the wind.If you don't love deeply, you won't get hurt. Everything is just right for you and me.If you and I have a deep relationship, we will naturally continue our relationship in the future.

Pei Xiang's candid tone and sincere expression made Ouyang Zheng believe that her explanation at this time was sincere.But he didn't feel relaxed because Pei Xiang didn't have a sweetheart, instead he was depressed:

"Madame thinks... you and I are just friends? After... such a relationship?"

"What, what?" Pei Xiang couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What's the matter? Why don't I know?"

Ouyang Zheng's eyes were deep and he remained silent.

Pei Xiang took a sip of tea to suppress his shock:

"Did you listen to some nonsense? What other people see are illusions. You and I deliberately misled them by acting on the spot. Eldest son, what I said is true, and it will become clear when you recover your memory in the future."

Seeing that Pei Xiang's attitude was so firm, with an eager look for fear of being misunderstood, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, he had a decision in his heart.

At this time, he has no memory of the two of them getting along for several years. Although he is close to Pei Xiang, it is far from the level of attachment and cherishment.

He is also an extremely proud person, seeing a woman willingly and completely denying her past intimate contact in order to leave him, why would Ouyang Zheng continue to pester her?

"That being the case," Ouyang Zheng paused, and then said solemnly, "Then let's make up."

Pei Xiang nodded slowly: "Okay, I wish you a prosperous future and a prosperous year."

Therefore, Ouyang Feng, who was still "fighting" with countless books and documents, broke the brush in his hand.He looked at his brother and sister-in-law who returned from Longtan Temple in surprise, and suspected that he had been too tired recently and had auditory hallucinations.

"Heli? Who?"

Ouyang Zheng turned sideways slightly, blocking Ouyang Feng's gradually sharpening cold eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"My brother has forgotten the past, and he can't treat a strange woman as his wife. Rather than misleading others and ourselves, it is better to get together and break up."

"But you will eventually recover your memory. Brother, believe me, if you separate from sister-in-law now, you will definitely regret it in the future. The relationship between you and sister-in-law..."

Ouyang Zheng patted Ouyang Feng's shoulder with a slight smile, interrupting his words of persuasion:

"Second brother, don't force anything if you are destined to have nothing to do with it."

"Brother, are you confused? You have been out frequently these days, have you been tricked by some restless vixen?"

Seeing that Ouyang Feng was frowning at his brother Ouyang Zheng and questioning him loudly, Pei Xiang took the initiative to explain:

"It was I who first proposed the reconciliation. The second brother should also know that there were some unavoidable reasons for the marriage at the beginning, and there was no long-term plan. Now that the eldest son has forgotten his former relationship and regained his health, it happens to have a new start. Wouldn't it be a blessing to marry a virtuous woman who is gentle and housekeeping?"

"Sister-in-law is very good. Everyone in the White Camel Mountain is convinced."

"But I have no plans to settle down for a long time, and I can't put my husband first. The rivers and lakes are vast, and I want to travel all over the rivers and mountains. Such a life interest is not suitable for being the eldest wife of White Camel Mountain."

Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but refute her:

"I don't remember the original rules and standards of the lady of White Camel Mountain. But according to my current thinking, the wife I married has the temperament and temper, so the lady should be like that. She is not my favorite person, No matter how gentle and respectful she is, she can't be the eldest lady."

Pei Xiangwen said softly, "I believe what the eldest son said."

Ouyang Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded reservedly, a little pleased that Pei Xiang didn't doubt him.

Ouyang Feng on the side looked at his brother and sister-in-law who were about to divorce with a strange expression, and said to himself that it's hard for people to feel that the relationship between husband and wife has dissipated when you get along so peacefully.

However, no matter what Ouyang Feng thought, both parties involved had made up their minds.

As a result, a gentle and polite letter from Heli was quickly written.

"Wait a few days, I will have someone sort out your dowry, and I will return it in full."

"Send someone back to Pei's house, and tell them about you and me by the way."

"Alright," Ouyang Zheng nodded, and then looked at the sullen Ouyang Feng, "Second brother, what properties are under my name? I want to give my husband and Miss Pei some properties."

Pei Xiang shook his head and refused: "You don't need to give me anything anymore. I have saved some assets and money in the past few years, which is enough to live on. By the way, you asked me to manage a lot of business before, and I have to hand over it as soon as possible. Two Young Master, since Eldest Young Master has lost his memory, I will entrust you with the part of the business that I am in charge of. The accounts and roster are here..."

This time, Ouyang Feng couldn't bear it anymore, he kicked the flower pot in the corner, then turned and left.

——How can there be such a wayward brother and sister-in-law?If you talk about reconciling, you will reconcile, one has amnesia and the other wants to leave, heh, you two are satisfied, but I have a pile of more books here, why?

The second young master was very angry, and slammed the door and left.

Pei Xiang rubbed her ears, and after a moment of silence, she pretended nothing happened, and continued slowly:

"Eldest son, my family's Pei family must have a lot to say about the matter between you and me. In order to appease them, I want to make a deal with you."

"Miss Pei, please tell me."

"I want to exchange a superior saber technique with the Ouyang family, and then transfer this saber technique to the Pei family. It can be regarded as repaying their kindness for nurturing Pei Xiang for 15 years. It can also be regarded as using a saber In exchange for my future free life."

Ouyang Zheng knew that Pei Xiang knew the situation of Ouyang's family better than him at this time, so he asked directly:

"Does the Ouyang family have the sword skills Pei needs?"

Pei Xiang nodded and said: "There is a Hengshan Sect's Shuangyan Titled Moon Saber Technique stored on the White Camel Mountain. This sword technique has a clean history, flexible moves, and is suitable for both offense and defense, but it is inconsistent with the martial arts handed down by the Ouyang family. It's a pity to put it on the shelf. In my opinion, it can be exchanged."

"That being the case, I agree to Miss Pei's terms."

Seeing that Ouyang Zheng trusted her, Pei Xiang couldn't help but frown. She went to the desk and re-layed the rice paper.

"My lord, I exchanged a Taoist inner strength method for Baituo Mountain's sword method. After practicing this method, it has the effect of changing muscles and strengthening bones. It is not only a static exercise for meditation practice, but also can improve inner strength through practicing external exercises. Cultivation is an advanced art that combines both body and function, combining movement and stillness. After the cultivation is completed, it progresses rapidly, surpassing ordinary skills, and it is very suitable for the eldest son to practice."

While talking, Pei Xiang silently wrote out the "Chapter of Changing Muscles and Forging Bone" in the "Nine Yin Manual" of internal energy methods.

"The eldest son was born weak, and later he was poisoned and injured, which hurt the foundation of his body. Although there are rare medicinal materials to save his life, and Master Yuanchen used his life's one yang finger to perfuse the two veins of Ren and Du forcibly, but in the end there is a little lacking. vitality.

"After practicing this Taoist exercise of washing the marrow and cutting the tendons, the yin and yang will help each other and restrain each other, and as time goes on, the essence of the five viscera and six viscera can always be replenished slowly.

"If the eldest son's comprehension is high enough, and he reads more Taoist classics, realizes some profound truths from the past life and death experiences, and communicates with the natural energy of heaven and earth during meditation, it may be that the latecomers will come out on top."

Ouyang Zheng walked to Pei Xiang's side and read the words in her pen carefully.

After savoring it, he only felt that its content is exquisite, profound, meaningful, and in line with the nature of Taoism. It takes the true yin from the extreme sun, and calms the mind without thinking. After the cultivation is completed, the qi, heat, fire and ice will not invade, which is very powerful.

Ouyang Zheng should have been immersed in this kind of superb martial arts mentality for the first time, but after he was amazed, he began to distract himself frequently.After Pei Xiang finished writing the last word, he suddenly asked:

"Ma'am, you lied to me before, didn't you?"

Pei Xiang stopped writing.

"What did you lie to?"

"You and I are not only friends, I am attracted to you, and you are also attracted to me, aren't you?"

Pei Xiang put the pen aside, looked sideways at Ouyang Zheng who was close at hand:

"So what? Do you still have the same state of mind as before? Without the little things of four years of companionship, the relationship between us is tantamount to returning to the beginning. Now, you and I are just strangers with a good impression That's all."

Ouyang Zheng lowered his eyelashes, stared at Pei Xiang's clear eyes, and pointed out sharply:

"If you really go back to the beginning, would you silently write such an inner strength method for me? Its value is much higher than a first-class sword method."

"For me, what is useful is good, and the value varies from case to case."

"Miss Pei, for you, is this inner strength method really used to exchange sword skills?"

"Or else?" Pei Xiangqi asked.

Ouyang Zheng chuckled suddenly, slightly cold, the light in his eyes flickering:

"You're compensating me. You gave up on me after... some choices."

Pei Xiang was silent for a moment, then gently retorted: "Nonsense!"

Ouyang Zheng raised his eyebrows, tapped on the table again and again, and asked slowly:

"May I ask Miss Pei, what are you going to do after you leave my place?"

Pei Xiang's eyes wandered slightly.

Before she could think of a decent answer, Ouyang Zheng said thoughtfully:

"Those guards said, you have been on a sea island before, and there is a powerful person on the island... you will go to him? What are you looking for? Do you like him?"

Pei Xiang snorted, took out the Heli book, opened and folded it in front of Ouyang Zheng.

——He and Li, so far, the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other.

Ouyang Zheng ignored Pei Xiang's silent hint and continued to speculate:

"You don't like him, at least for now... a powerful person? Does he have something Miss Pei is interested in?"

The eldest son's tone rose slightly, he tapped Pei Xiangmo's written thoughts, and said with a smile:

"Since it's compensation, can Miss Pei reveal a thing or two about where Zheng lost?"

Pei Xiang sighed: "I'm going to learn new things with Mr. Huang, which is expected to take two or three years. My son, I don't want to spend all my time on a relationship. I know that if I always accompany him as a wife By your side, we... probably can get together easily. But in that case, I may miss some precious opportunities."
