Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

His Highness Esther, the second prince of the Lehman Empire, is also one of the masterminds suspected by Shao Xing.

In the plot that Shen Qiran saw, Esther did have strong hostility towards Shao Xing, and the two were incompatible regardless of their political views or positions, but there was not enough evidence to prove that Esther was the big boss who killed Shao Xing in his previous life.

However, the original owner couldn't get any advantage from Shao Xing, so he quickly surrendered to Esther, and secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks for Shao Xing.It was said in the book that the original owner and Esther had an ambiguous relationship, and they were working together together, but Shen Qiran didn't know that the two still had an old relationship.

But this has nothing to do with him. Although Shao Xing's "established bad feeling" towards him can't be reversed, at least he can't make mistakes again and again like the original owner!Shen Qiran, who took self-help and survival as his first principle, immediately showed a look of serious memory, and then shook his head helplessly.

"I actually said that before?" He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't remember anymore. I was young and ignorant, how could I take what I said at that time seriously? I think His Royal Highness the Second Prince will understand."

Shen Qiran has confidence in saying this. Judging from the original owner's status in the Shen family, after the second prince left the capital, he must have completely severed contact with the original owner. Otherwise, how could the Shen family dare to take care of him if he had the second prince's care? To neglect the original owner like that?

Not to mention that he needs to explain to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, maybe he won't be happy to see him when he comes back.

Kenze was stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect Shen Qiran to be so "unfeeling".Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly glanced behind Shen Qiran, and at the same time took a cautious step back to distance himself from Shen Qiran.

"Mr. Major General," Kenze looked into the shadow of the wall where the light was not shining, and smiled gentlemanly, "If you are curious about our conversation, you can directly participate in it. It's not your style to hide in the corner and eavesdrop. .”

The wind outside the window was blowing the leaves of the green plants in the corner, making a rustling sound. After a while, a man in a wheelchair walked slowly out of the shadows. His upper body was straight and straight, and his eyes were cold and cold. They looked at each other At that time, the smile on the corner of Kenze's mouth could not help but be suppressed a bit, and his eyes showed a bit of solemnity and vigilance.

Shen Qiran was dumbfounded.

When did Shao Xing come?

How long has he been here?How much did you listen to the conversation just now? ?

"I'm not interested in your conversation." Shao Xing glanced at Shen Qiran, who was stunned, and turned his lingering eyes to Kenze again, "But Mr. Viscount, if you want to reminisce about the past with my wife, it is better than the cold and dark place. The corridor, the warm and bright banquet hall is obviously a more suitable place, what do you think?"

The two stared at each other for a moment, whether it was out of fear of the military rookie or for some other reason, Kenze chose to avoid the sharp edge and nodded neatly.

"You're right, I was the one who was abrupt." He put away the chocolates on the window sill, and bowed to the two calmly.

"You two are free, I will take my leave first."

Then he left the corridor without looking back.

Shen Qiran: "..."

You slipped too fast!Don't you need to explain more!

The cold night wind blew in along the half-opened window, making Shen Qiran's heart feel cold.Although he didn't think he said anything wrong, but thinking of the promiscuous style of the original owner in his previous life, he felt that Shao Xing might associate it in a bad direction.

"Viscount Kenze and I just met by accident." Preemptively, he proved his innocence first, "I was going to the bathroom, but I didn't expect him to stand here and blow the air."

Shao Xing glanced at Shen Qiran and pointed in the opposite direction with his finger, his tone neither salty nor weak.

"The bathroom is over there."

Shen Qiran: "..."

Shen Qiran: "...Thank you, I was just looking for someone to ask for directions."

"You don't need to explain anything." The dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed. Shao Xing's tone was very slow, and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger. It is indeed a good choice to find him.”

It’s over.

It really was a misunderstanding!

"I really didn't come here specifically to find Viscount Kenze." Shen Qiran knew that this matter must be explained clearly. Esther and the original owner gave Shao Xing such a big cuckold in the previous life. Nevermind.

"I don't care about the situation of His Royal Highness Esther either," Shen Qiran said, "Whether he will come back or when he will come back has nothing to do with me."

The dark clouds were blown away by the night wind, and the bright moonlight poured down again. Shao Xing stared at the person opposite, his dark eyes reflecting the cold light of the moonlight.

"Shen Qiran."

Shen Qiran tensed up in an instant, Shao Xing rarely called him by his name directly, and every time he called him like this, it was when the other party was not in a good mood.

"Why did you choose me?" he asked.

Shen Qiran was taken aback.

"You are obviously very reluctant, and you are not desperate, why do you still choose to marry me?"

Shen Qiran opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't understand why Shaoxing would ask such a question.

——This kind of problem should be well known to the reborn him.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qiran cautiously gave the answer according to the description in the original book.

"I want to leave the Shen family." He said, "I've had enough of their contempt and indifference, and I want to find myself a backer, and you...is the best choice."

Shao Xing was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Then you made a bad move." He said, "If you wait two more months, Esther will be back."

"..."

Shen Qiran suddenly realized that he had made a mistake just now.

He shouldn't be so anxious to separate himself from Esther. After all, Shao Xing is a reborn person, and his experience in his previous life made him absolutely sure of the ambiguous relationship between the original owner and Esther.Explanation is to cover up, the more eager to clarify, the more suspicious it seems, it is better to push the boat along with the flow and take advantage of it.

Lightning flashed in his mind, Shen Qiran blinked lightly, and instantly had a new idea.

"But there is no 'if'." He followed Shao Xing's words, "I have been waiting for him for four years, and there has been no news for four years. As long as he misses a little old love, my situation in the Shen family will not be the same. It's so difficult, so what if he comes back? A heartless scumbag, do I still expect him to help me out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

Shao Xing's eyes moved slightly, because he vaguely heard another meaning from these words.What caught him off guard even more was that Shen Qiran actually took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and half-kneeled in front of his wheelchair, looking up into his eyes.

"My current husband is you, Shao Xing."

He stretched out his hand, and the "wedding ring" on his ring finger was shining in the moonlight.

"The person who really helped me is you. I will not repay kindness with grudges and be ungrateful. No matter what happens in the future, during the duration of the marriage, I will definitely abide by the marriage vows, remain loyal and dedicated, and will never do anything to be sorry for you. .”

It was a bold and dangerous surrender.

Shen Qiran is very clear that what the original owner did in the previous life is a poisonous thorn in Shao Xing's heart that cannot be removed. Any show of favor or surrender by him will be regarded by Shao Xing as "hypocrisy" and "conspiracy to commit crimes".

But he still had to try.

Even at the risk of being hated even more, as long as there is a hope of gaining a chance, even if it is a one-in-a-million possibility, he must try, instead of just waiting to die.

Shao Xing quietly looked at the half-kneeling man in front of him, without any expression on his handsome face.Time passed bit by bit in silence, and Shen Qiran's heart slowly sank to the bottom, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the other party's voice.

"Then what do you want?" asked the man in the wheelchair.

"What do you want in exchange?"

A marriage based on interests is just a transaction where each gets what he needs.The so-called loyalty sounds nice, but it is actually just a set of chips on the poker table.Shao Xing was not interested in this transaction, but he was very curious about what Shen Qiran wanted.

In his previous life, that person's ambitions and desires were naked/naked, power, status, wealth... that's all he pursued.

But now, Shao Xing is not sure.

He heard the conversation between Kenze and Shen Qiran from beginning to end, and one sentence from Kenze impressed him deeply——

——You have changed a lot, like a different person.

Turns out I wasn't the only one feeling this way.

Can a person really change so much?Appearance can be modified, personality can be disguised, words and deeds can also be consciously controlled, so what about the ambitions and desires hidden deep in the heart?

If even the pursuit and desire from the soul are different, can the young man in front of me be the same person as the person I hated to the bone in my previous life?

Shao Xing stared at the person in front of him. He imagined many possibilities and thought he had made enough mental preparations, but after hearing the other party's answer, his expression was still stunned for a moment.

The man said—

"I want you to let me leave normally and freely after two years, that is, after the divorce."
