After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Living in agony in Duke Yue's mansion for a long time, or dying a few years after marrying him, these two choices were like two heavy mountains pressing on Meng Qisui's heart, making him hesitant and even fearful.

He was afraid of making the wrong decision, afraid of losing Li Shiliu, and even more afraid of hurting her.

However, faced with various limitations and difficulties in reality, Meng Qisui ultimately failed to take that crucial step.

On Li Shiliu's wedding night, Meng Qisui stood alone in the cold moonlight, gazing from afar at the Yue Mansion, which was bustling with noises of gongs and drums and a festive atmosphere.

He stood quietly for the whole night, his heart filled with endless sorrow and loss.

After that night, Meng Qisui became increasingly taciturn, and was ruthless and merciless when handling cases.

On that night, Meng Qisui finally made up his mind: he would never let the world know his feelings for Li Shiliu, even though he was a widower in his thirties and she was just an eighteen-year-old girl who had just married.

Although Li Shiliu had been recognized as the Grand Princess's adopted daughter and was given the title of Princess Sheng'an, she was a weak woman after all and could not rely on the Emperor and the Grand Princess to support her in everything.

Meng Qisui knew in his heart that he could never be compared with the emperor and the eldest princess.

Despite this, he decided to bury his true feelings deeply, watch Li Shiliu from afar, protect her silently, and help her as much as he could, just hoping to do his best to protect her and make her life safe and smooth.

However, things are unpredictable. He never expected that his long-term and silent protection would be taken advantage of by the shameless Nanyang Yao.

Meng Qisui couldn't help but ask himself: "Is there anything wrong with what I did?

He is not even as good as Nanyang Yao who rushed to be Princess Sheng'an's lover?

Wait, the mistress...

A face-to-face relationship does not require marriage...

I am an old widower and I don’t have a wife now. Who can I be unlucky to?

If that's the case, why don't you take the initiative?

Anyway, I am alone, even if I become the concubine of Princess Sheng'an, it will not have any impact on Li Shiliu...

At this moment, Meng Qisui suddenly realized, as if a brand new door had opened and an unprecedented bright road appeared before him.

Meng Qisui suddenly came to his senses and quickly recovered from his despair. He became excited and full of anticipation...

Today's tea seems sweeter and more delicious than ever...

Li Shiliu ignored Nanyang Yao who had been sticking to her, but turned her gaze to Meng Qisui, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Meng Qisui looked back at Li Shiliu with an unprecedented passion, his eyes flashing with a fiery light. He stared at Li Shiliu intently, as if he wanted to see through her. Then, he said softly: "Princess, I regret it."

"Regret it?" Li Shiliu was unable to react for a moment. She stared at Meng Qisui with wide eyes, a hint of surprise on her face.

Meng Qisui laughed softly, shook his head, and continued, "When the princess got married that day, I stood alone for the entire night.

From that moment on, I have already begun to regret...”

Hearing this, Li Shiliu couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable complex emotions in her heart. She looked at Meng Qisui quietly.

However, at this moment, Nanyang Yao suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Meng, time cannot be reversed, and there is no regret medicine in this world. Don't say you regret it, I regret many more things than you.

It is better not to say such things lightly, lest people laugh at you.”

Nanyang Yao's words were obviously provocative, and his eyes were sparkling with jealousy and anger. He stared at Meng Qisui closely, as if to protest against him. Meng Qisui also responded to Nanyang Yao's gaze without showing any weakness. The atmosphere between the two of them became tense in an instant, as if a fierce conflict would break out at any time.
