After guessing what Song Shiqiu might be thinking, Lin Jin always felt that something was wrong with her. She wished she could go to the Prime Minister's Mansion right now and make things clear to Song Shiqiu. Even if Song Shiqiu ignored her directly because of this matter, she would accept it.

Well, Lin Jin had to admit that sometimes she was not so flexible. After all, if she was really so flexible, she should just go with the flow. Anyway, this matter would not have any harm except making herself feel depressed.

Lin Jin finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was breathing a sigh of relief when Song Shiqiu let go of her hand, but she forgot that the effect of the muscle relaxant had not yet worn off. In full view of everyone, she was carried into the Prime Minister's Mansion by Song Shiqiu. She hurriedly covered her face, leaving only her red ears exposed.

Even if she was deceiving herself, she didn't want to be seen.

The Bikong Courtyard had started to be cleaned up yesterday when Song Shiqiu gave the order. After a day, it had already been arranged. The furnishings were almost the same as those in Song Shixia's courtyard. It was obvious that much thought had gone into it.

Lin Jin looked at the layout of the Bikong Courtyard and felt a little guilty for some reason.

Is this considered a disguised way of playing with Song Shiqiu's feelings?

Song Shiqiu drove everyone out and sat on the bed: "I haven't heard what you like, so I arranged it according to Fuyun Courtyard. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell them and make it according to your preferences."

"That's enough." Lin Jin didn't have any objection to this, and slowly pulled his hand out of Song Shiqiu's hand, "Sir, you..."

When it came time to say it, she found it difficult to start. She didn't know what to ask first. It seemed that no matter what she said, it would be awkward and impolite.

"What's wrong?" Song Shiqiu looked at Lin Jin with concern.

Lin Jin pursed her lips, somewhat helplessly: "Sir, didn't you keep urging me to choose a husband before? Why did you change in just a few days? It's my own business that I don't want to get married, sir, you don't have to force yourself like this. I'm just a little girl, not worthy of you."

Isn't that euphemistic enough? Isn't that respectful enough? I hope Song Shiqiu can understand what she really means.

Song Shiqiu knew that what he had done some time ago might have wronged Lin Jin, so Lin Jin got angry and said such self-deprecating words: "It's not forced. I have thought a lot these days. If it were you, Jin, I would be willing."

Lin Jin: “…”

No, you don't!

"Your Excellency, you don't have to comfort me like this. Although I am dull, I still have self-awareness." Lin Jin tried to make her smile look more genuine to dispel Song Shiqiu's thoughts. "Your Excellency is a man of high moral character. Lin Liu feels ashamed standing next to you."

Song Shiqiu disapproved: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Lin Liu is not talking nonsense. Your Excellency is the moon in the sky. The bright moon should naturally be hanging high in the sky to be the most beautiful and appropriate. I am just an ordinary woman in the world. To Your Excellency, I should be as light as dust. How can I dream of Your Excellency?" Lin Jin now wanted to praise Song Shiqiu like a flower, hoping that the other party would realize that the gap between them was impossible.

Song Shiqiu frowned and said nothing.

Lin Jin was a little scared when she saw Song Shiqiu like this, but it was okay. She was not really scared: "Sir, there are too many inappropriate things between us, and I have no intention of getting married. Even if I get married, I will only be a wife and not a concubine. I am even more unwilling to share a husband with others. Compared to marrying you, I would rather marry an ordinary person."

Although men in this era could marry and take concubines, this was something only powerful people could do. There were even strict regulations on the number of concubines that officials could have. If ordinary people wanted to take concubines, they had to be rich enough and meet certain conditions to be allowed to take concubines.

Lin Jin thought that this had made it very clear that she didn't want to marry Song Shiqiu, but Song Shiqiu misunderstood Lin Jin's meaning again.

"Is this what you care about? When did I say I would let you be my concubine? As for taking a concubine, I can't guarantee what will happen in the future, but I have never had such an idea now." Song Shiqiu smiled, his eyes were like looking at a little girl who was throwing a tantrum, "I asked you to wait because I didn't want to let you down, but how could I let you be my concubine? I'm afraid your sister Shixia will be the first one to disagree."

When he was choosing a husband for Lin Jin, he had never thought of making her a concubine. If he was going to marry her, how could he make her a concubine?

Lin Jin was split. She didn't expect Song Shiqiu to say such words so lightly. What does it mean that you care about these things? Please don't say it so lightly. It seems that she is making trouble for no reason. In this era, these two conditions can already screen out many people.

Although Song Shiqiu never married in his life in the original book, the plot has collapsed to this extent. Who knows if it will be the same in the later stages.

"Sir, please stop joking. How could that be possible with your status?" Lin Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It is true that Song Shiqiu is very outstanding, but she really doesn't dare to think about it. Whether it is because of the system of this era, the difference in concepts, or Song Shiqiu's setting, it is enough to make her stay away from this relationship.

Some people are only suitable to be friends, not lovers. Once the relationship status changes, the person is likely to change as well, because the other person will change from the role of friend to the role of lover and husband. Different roles will have different attitudes towards the same issue and will also have different results.

She had seen similar cases many times, especially when she was interning in the hospital. She had seen so many separations and deaths and the fickleness of human nature that it was hard for her to believe that there could be love in this world that lasts until death.

Even if this was a novel, Lin Jin would not believe it. After all, this novel was not her story. Even if it was her story, the people in it might not awaken their consciousness after the story ended, and the past would become a set of data.

She would not accept that result. As long as it didn't begin, there would be no end. That's why she had never been in love. Even though she sometimes envied her best friend for having someone by her side, when she was really asked to find a partner, she didn't want to. She would rather hold her book to keep warm alone, and after the loneliness faded away, she would continue to embrace life and work hard for her career.

"Why not?" Song Shiqiu asked back.

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment. Why not? Because he is Song Shiqiu, a villain who is devoted to the heroine. Because Song Shiqiu is the prime minister of Daxia, if Song Shiqiu does not fall in love with the heroine according to the plot, it means that Song Shiqiu is out of the control of the plot.

Can she control someone who can't even control the plot? Can love be controlled?

unable.

When the plot cannot control a character, it means the awakening of the character's consciousness and the strength of the character's core. For such people, only they themselves can control themselves. She is different. She likes the feeling of absolute control.

"Because, sir, you are the man that all the women in the world flock to." Lin Jin was very calm. Song Shiqiu said that he would not do that now, but it was just that Song Shiqiu had not met someone who made his heart beat like the heroine in the original novel. However, there are so many women in the world, and Song Shiqiu will meet one sooner or later.

Song Shiqiu's hand touched her face, caressing the corners of her eyes, and he chuckled, teasing: "Ah Jin, if women in the world are flocking to you, should I open my bed to welcome you? Then the Prime Minister's Mansion will be full."

Lin Jin was shocked by the affection in his eyes and hurriedly avoided his sight, but her lips brushed across Song Shiqiu's palm: "That shouldn't be me, my lord, you deserve a better woman."

She is not a little girl living in the Garden of Eden, nor a flower grown in a greenhouse, so she does not have unrealistic dreams.

Just like the Cinderella that the prince fell in love with was not Cinderella at first, but the Duke's daughter. She was beautiful, intelligent, and of noble birth. Her every move showed aristocratic upbringing, and she had many good qualities.
