Rebirth with my ex-husband

Let's go our separate ways

It is hard not to be moved by what Gu Shixing said.

But he said he didn't ask for anything in return. Does that mean she really can accept his kindness without any psychological burden?

He said not to care, but did that mean she didn't owe him a favor?

--How can it be.

How could she not know what he was thinking?

He had only brought the two of them together again, and he still couldn't understand why she didn't want to marry him again.

Besides, I accepted the gift that I urgently needed this time, but what about next time?

Does he help her whenever she has difficulties, because they are urgent problems that need to be solved, so she has to accept his help?

If this response is given, the two of them will only continue to have an affair, and if they don't cut it off, they will suffer the consequences.

The young lady was not deranged by her affairs as she was in her previous life. She was just in poor health now, and it was not impossible to recover, but it would cost a lot of money.

She had not been the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion for nothing during those years. She also had some ways to earn money, so why should she owe him such a big favor now?

I accepted his favor before he had his last chance, so when can I ever make up for it?

Rather than owe this person a favor that she could never repay for the rest of her life, she would rather rely on herself.

Thinking of this, Su Yun's eyes gradually became firm.

Turning around, he picked up the candlestick that had been blown out by the wind and said bluntly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. But this kindness is too much. I cannot accept it."

As she spoke, she nodded slightly and started to leave, not noticing that Gu Shixing's usually calm and composed expression became a little more stiff after hearing her refusal.

Just as Su Yun was walking past him, he suddenly grabbed her arm. Her hand holding the candlestick slightly opened due to his sudden movement, and the candlestick almost fell from her hand. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly and grabbed the upper part of the candlestick, preventing it from falling to the ground.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the heat coming from her forearm and the tightness of her arm being shackled. Her eyebrows knitted tightly and she said in a cold voice: "Master Gu, men and women should not touch each other, please let go."

Gu Shixing turned his head to look at her, his face solemn, his eyes deep: "Ah Yun, do you really not believe that I am helping you without expecting anything in return because of our four years of marriage?"

Gu Shixing's deep and heavy voice fell into Ke Suyun's ears.

No matter how much she denied it, he was certain that she was his wife in his previous life.

He was sure that she was Su Yun four years later, but she did not admit it. He cooperated with her and did not force her to admit it.

Now, she still pretends like this, as if there is no point.

Should I talk it out or continue pretending?

There was nothing but silence in the courtyard.

An autumn breeze blew in from the courtyard gate, making the small trees in the courtyard rustle, but it made the courtyard seem even more quiet.

I don't know how long I maintained this posture, but it seemed like a long time.

Su Yun secretly tried to pull her hand out, but his force was not enough to hurt her hand, but it also did not allow her to break free.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Su Yun became annoyed: "Gu Shixing, let me go!"

Suddenly she turned and glared at him.

Facing her angry eyes, Gu Shixing's face darkened and he called out in a low voice, "Ayun."

This name sounds intimate, but Su Yun knows that he is just used to calling it that!

She stared at him with her eyes wide open, and asked in a low voice: "Master Gu, what do you think was worth lingering on in those four years? Was it that cold husband who only said two words a day? Or was it that manor where you had to think twice before speaking? Or was it the embarrassment of being deliberately ignored and excluded from every banquet or tea party?"

Gu Shixing remained silent.

The Marquis' Mansion is very strict with rules. Not only her, but even the children of the Gu family must follow the same rules.

Besides, tea parties and banquets were all attended by women, so how could he possibly show up? But in his impression, it seemed that she had never been left out at banquets where he was present.

But there was one thing he couldn't deny. After a short pause, he said in a low and dull voice, "I thought you didn't want to talk to me."

"Don't want to?" Su Yun chuckled, then stopped smiling and said coldly, "Have you ever given me a little warmth to make me willing to talk to you? If you had a little warmth, I wouldn't have rejected you like I am doing now."

Gu Shixing was slightly stunned and choked for a moment.

Gu Shixing had lived in the temple for nearly ten years, and since then, he had been neither sad nor happy. He knew that she did not want to share a room with him, so he never forced her. He knew that she did not want to talk to him much, so he never broke the way they had been together for four years.

Moreover, his father and mother have been treating each other with respect for the past twenty or thirty years, and they are still living the same way now. Gu Shixing has never thought that there is anything abnormal.

But when he heard her say that, he couldn't refute it.

Su Yun said coldly again: "You always think that I shouldn't marry you because of my mother's affairs and the misunderstandings of you and others, but you don't know anything at all, and don't know how tired I am. You don't know how much you are in that sex..." At this point, her voice stuttered, and she didn't know how to say this kind of thing.

Su Yun was shy, and her face turned red with shame when she mentioned those things.

But when I thought of his bad but unaware look, I gritted my teeth and growled in a low voice: "How bad!"

The moment Gu Shixing heard the last three words, a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes.

Su Yun saw that the conversation had come to this point, so she had nothing to worry about. When he was stunned, she blushed and said in a low voice: "You don't know how uncomfortable it was for me when I did that thing with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yun froze when she saw Gu Shixing's usually dull face.

Su Yun was afraid that he would be provoked by her and do something excessive, so she hurriedly tried to pull her hand out again. Perhaps influenced by what she said, his strength was not as strong, and she quickly pulled her hand out.

After taking a few steps forward in panic, she turned around and glared at him, saying in a firm tone: "You want me to marry you again, but it's just because you are used to me and don't want to change. But I don't want to marry you again. I'm still not used to living like a zombie, so I want to change. If you force me to marry you, I will definitely not manage the Marquis' Mansion anymore, and I won't let you live a peaceful life."

At the end of her words, her tone slowed down, and there was a hint of request in her voice: "Since we have come back to the past and have a chance to make things right, why don't we just part ways, be happy, and let each other go?"

Gu Shixing came back to his senses from her previous words. When he heard this, his black eyes locked on her tightly, and he pursed his lips in silence.

Su Yun couldn't tell what Gu Shixing was thinking just now and what he was thinking now.

As soon as he moved his foot slightly, she quickly took two steps back, being very defensive.

Gu Shixing's eyes darkened when he saw her defensiveness.

Su Yun said very quickly: "Don't come to me again. You saved me and my maid today, so let's just write off all the previous grudges. From now on, let's just pretend that those four years never happened. You are still the noble prince of the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion, and I am still a little concubine of the Su Mansion. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Su Yun's words, like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, pierced into Gu Shixing's ears.

She said it very decisively.

After saying this, Su Yun quickly turned around and hurried out of the courtyard, as if she was afraid that he would catch up with her.

Watching Su Yun's back gradually disappearing, Gu Shixing pursed his lips tightly. In the dim courtyard, that handsome face was dim and unclear.

He increased his strength and tightly gripped the long handle of the lantern in his hand. His knuckles turned slightly white and even the blue veins on the back of his hand were vaguely visible.

After the heavy rain, the air was a little chillier. In the desolate courtyard, accompanied by the cold moonlight, a cool breeze blew, making the courtyard even more empty.

He didn't know how long he stood there, but suddenly a slightly low "click" sound was heard in the empty courtyard. It turned out that the long handle of the lantern in his hand broke from where he was holding it.

After Mo Tai saw Miss Su Liu come out, he did not see his own young master coming out of the yard for a long time.

After thinking about it, I walked into the courtyard to find out what was going on.

When I entered the yard, I saw my own prince standing on the path.

From a distance, I couldn't see the expression on the master's face, but I could vaguely feel that the prince seemed to be emitting a cold aura that kept strangers away.

Mo Tai approached with some trepidation and asked, "Prince, are you going back?"

Gu Shixing said nothing and handed the lantern in his hand to Mo Tai.

Mo Tai took the lantern and walked straight towards the courtyard gate.

Mo Tai seemed to feel that something was wrong with the lantern in his hand. He looked down and found that the long handle was split in the middle, with only a few bamboo threads connected. However, with just a little force, the long handle could be completely separated into two parts.

Mo Tai's heart trembled.

Is the prince angry? Or what?

Just now, what on earth did Miss Su Liu say to the prince that could have provoked the pure-hearted prince into this state? !

When he arrived at the courtyard where Su Yun was, Gu Shixing paused slightly and looked inside the courtyard gate. The light in her room was off.

He just glanced away and then looked away, slowly walking away from the courtyard.

There was still residual rainwater on the eaves from the heavy rain two hours ago, which slowly dripped onto the bluestone bricks, making soft "tick-tick" sounds.

Only the sound of dripping water could be heard in the alley, but no sound of footsteps could be heard, and people gradually disappeared into the alley.

*

When he returned to the room, Gu Shixing's clothes were stained with a little water mist and were a little wet, but he did not change them. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes lowered in this wet clothes.

The window was slightly open, and a moist, cool breeze blew in slowly, making the candlelight on the table flicker.

After a while, the small flame could no longer withstand the blown by the wind, so it suddenly went out, plunging the whole room into darkness, with only a faint light coming in from the screen window.

Gu Shixing didn't know how long he sat by the bed until Mo Tai reminded him from outside: "Sir, it's five o'clock in the morning. It's time to go back to the mansion to change into court clothes and go to court."

Hearing Mo Tai's voice, Gu Shixing slowly exhaled.

I whispered to myself, "Let's part ways and be happy?"

He whispered to himself, "That's good too."

"That's good too." He repeated it as if trying to convince someone.

Then he stood up from the bed, patted the wrinkles on his robe, walked to the door and opened it.

Mo Tai glanced at the prince, and when he saw that his face had returned to normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back from Haitang Courtyard, the prince seemed to have frost on his face, which made people feel uneasy.

Gu Shixing said in a calm tone: "Go back home."
