rich concubine

Chapter 2160 I want to back down
It seems that during these days, apart from Rong Yi's own smooth relationship, everyone around her has more or less something wrong with her.

Jiang Shunxiao also felt this very deeply. He had been quite idle for the past two days. As for the Cuju competition, he would not have to do everything by himself. He had taken care of everything around him, so he was quite idle.

The biggest event in the capital these two days is the Cuju competition.

In the capital, almost all the dignitaries and young gentlemen who had no time to spare were here.

But there were also some who didn’t go, or who didn’t have much interest in it, and stopped going after watching a few shows.

Xie Yun is one of them. He seems to be having a hard time during these days. He has a sullen face all day long and is a little absent-minded when he goes to court.

As the eldest son of the Xie family, he must not be so relaxed and happy. Even if others notice it, they will not think deeply about it. It is probably because things are complicated and disturbing their minds.

Even Jiang Shunxiao, who had a close relationship with him, didn't notice it. He only found out when Xie Yun came to the door.

Despite the busy gongs and drums outside, the house calmed down, so the two grown men returned to the palace together.

Although the palace was quiet, there were many children. In order not to be disturbed, the two went to the back courtyard, laid out a few dishes, and found Jiang Shunxiao's collection of wine, so that they could chat.

"Your thoughts have been wandering these days. Why are you willing to talk to me today?"

Xie Yun took a deep breath and said, "I see you are busy, so I won't bother you. Now that you are busy, you can take some time off and have a drink with me."

Jiang Shunxiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't say I was idle. If you don't stop me today, I have to go to the competition field to accompany my wife."

Xie Yun glanced at him and smiled slightly: "I know that you and your wife are in love, so there is no need to stimulate me like this."

After saying that, he shook his head again and smiled sarcastically.

Men still understand men better, especially two men with similar temperaments.

Jiang Shunxiao drank a drink of his own and invited him to drink with him. After taking a sip of wine, he said, "But what's wrong with Qin Dailong?"

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's none of her business. She never makes me unhappy. She is very considerate. Besides, between men and women, I am the one who makes her unhappy."

Jiang Shunxiao was noncommittal and just said: "Then why are you looking like this now? Don't tell me that you regret it."

Xie Yun fell silent, his forehead felt a little swollen and painful. It was clear that he had already had headaches without drinking two glasses of wine.

Swallowing slightly, he said, "Is it too late to regret it now?"

Jiang Shunxiao paused, organized his words, and asked him: "How far have you and her developed? Is there...skin contact?" Xie Yun frowned and said affirmatively: "What is the relationship between you and her? It's all possible, but the most unlikely thing is what you said."

Jiang Shunxiao raised his eyebrows: "You have been together for such a long time, and the only thing left is to decide the fate of the relationship. Now, you tell me that the relationship between you and her is innocent? If you say this, no one will believe it. .”

"What do I want others to believe? I know it myself, and it's fine as long as I have a clear conscience."

Jiang Shunxiao shook his head: "I think you are very calm here, but on her side, I have heard rumors more than once. The rumors are spreading in a good way, except that you are going to get married soon, and some people also say that she is... Being pregnant with your child, of course, I knew that was impossible.”

Xie Yun smiled sadly: "In this life, I will only have one child, A Yuan. I won't think about it, and I can't do it. I can't be sorry to Yan Di."

He had never fallen in love with Qin Dailong because of close contact, but he could feel that this woman was becoming more and more attracted to her, so much so that he didn't want to move forward.

Seeing his silent expression, Jiang Shunxiao asked him: "What are you worried about?"

Xie Yuncai said: "Everything between me and her is for the sake of formality. There is no emotion and there will be no emotion. This has been made very clear early on. I abide by my duty and do what I should do decently. I and She did it, but I never overstepped the distance I needed to keep. I thought I didn’t have any expectations for her, nor did I give her any hints, but now, I’m not sure anymore..."

Those rumors were connected with his uncertainty. Jiang Shunxiao thought for a while and said: "My cousin has suffered and been cheated, loved and hated. The most outrageous thing is to give up everything for love and forget about dignity and dignity. She is indeed He is a person who values ​​feelings extremely important. Neither of you has reached the age of dying. It is inevitable that your heart will beat and you will be emotional. After a man and a woman have been together for a long time, it is normal for them to be emotional. , there are very few people who can keep their true feelings. Even if you reached a verbal agreement before, you can't blame her now. After all, it is true that we have been together for so long."

Xie Yun understands this truth: "I don't blame her, and I have no right to blame her. I just regret it now. If I had known now, I wouldn't have been able to agree to anything, and now, no matter how it ends, it will be embarrassing."

Jiang Shunxiao sighed: "Maybe you can have a good talk with her. Now it's just you and I sitting here and talking after drinking. How do you know what she is thinking in her heart? A woman's mind must always be delicate. Maybe she thinks that she will have a good relationship with you, so she treats you like a family member. Maybe you are overthinking it."

"I'd rather think too much, but I'm not so slow that I can't even notice this subtle change. I'm not a mediocre person. I've also had love and lovers, so I can understand better. Feel what she’s thinking.”

Jiang Shunxiao was silent and said, "If this is the case, what should we do? You have been with her for so long, but both the Holy Emperor and the Central Palace have asked about this matter."

Xie Yun's head hurt even more when he mentioned this matter. He held the wine glass with forbearance in his eyes and his voice became hoarse. He said: "If it's just to live together, it doesn't matter who she is, but once we have If I have other thoughts, I can't ask for too much with peace of mind, and I don't want to give you what I can't give."

At this point, he raised his eyes with a wry smile, looked at Jiang Shunxiao and said: "Am I not a man? I have been with her for so long, which has damaged her reputation. But now I want to retreat. I want to retreat." ”

Originally, some of the rumors didn't come from him, and it wasn't him who got too close. He didn't have to feel too guilty, but if he really said this, he really wouldn't be a man.

Jiang Shunxiao said: "You are an unmarried man and you are unmarried. Everyone knows that if you marry again, it will be a second marriage. She will also marry for the second time. If you two come into contact, who will think purely about it?"
