Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just in a bad mood. Yunjie, do you think Qin Wenyuan is really repentant or just pretending?"

Sheng Yunjie frowned and said seriously: "Sister, I think Qin Wenyuan's nature has not changed. You should know how he treated you before. How can such a person repent easily?"

Sheng Yunrong sighed: "Yes, I know he hasn't changed. But there is always a corner in my heart that hopes he can really repent. Maybe this is my obsession with him."

…

"No... no no!" Qin Wenyuan was anxious, "I didn't, I didn't have that thought!"

Qin Wenyuan's voice echoed in the empty Qin Mansion, sounding so weak and pale. He hurriedly took a step forward, his eyes full of eagerness and determination, trying to make Tu Su Yuwei believe his words.

Tu Suyuwei looked at Qin Wenyuan with complicated eyes. There was a hint of doubt, a hint of struggle, and a hint of unspeakable sadness in her eyes. She bit her lips lightly, and then slowly said: "Wenyuan, you know I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason. I just... I'm just worried about you."

Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan's heart seemed to be hit hard. He sighed deeply, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and tried to touch Tu Su Yuwei's cheek, but when he was about to touch her, he withdrew his hand.

"Yuwei, I know, I understand your worries." Qin Wenyuan's voice was low and sincere, "But I really didn't do anything wrong. I admit that I can't let go of my past, but my feelings for you are sincere."

Tu Su Yuwei's eyes were shaken, but she still suppressed her doubts and said softly: "Wen Yuan, I'm not asking you to let go of the past, I just hope you can focus more on our future. I know that the Qin Mansion is busy, but I hope that I can also have a place in your heart."

Qin Wenyuan felt a pain in his heart. He looked at Tu Su Yuwei with guilt and affection in his eyes. He nodded gently and then held Tu Su Yuwei's hand tightly.

"Yuwei, you are my sweetheart. I have always kept a place for you in my heart." Qin Wenyuan's voice was low and firm. "I will focus more on our future. I will make you the happiest woman in the world."

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Tu Su Yuwei's face. She leaned gently in Qin Wenyuan's arms, her eyes full of trust and expectation.

"Wenyuan, I believe in you." Tu Su Yuwei said softly, "I will always be by your side, rain or shine, I will be with you."

At this time, in the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, the moonlight was just right. Qin Wenyuan and Tu Su Yuwei sat opposite each other at the stone table under the willow tree. They drank tea and talked about each other's concerns.

Qin Wenyuan saw that Sheng Yunrong was very different today than she was in the past. There seemed to be a faint fragrance lingering on her clothes in her eyes, and there was a firmness and calmness between her brows, as if she had undergone some kind of transformation. He frowned slightly, and a hint of curiosity surged in his heart.

Sheng Yunrong slowly walked up to Qin Wenyuan and bowed gently, her voice calm and firm: "Wenyuan, long time no see, are you okay?"

Qin Wenyuan was slightly stunned. Was this still the Sheng Yunrong he was familiar with? There was an unquestionable politeness in her words, as if they were no longer husband and wife, but just strangers who had met each other. He nodded slightly, and his tone became polite: "Yunrong, you seem to have changed."

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes: "Yes, I have changed. I am no longer the Sheng Yunrong who only knows how to rely on you. I have learned to be independent."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized that he had been busy with official duties during this period and ignored Sheng Yunrong's feelings. He tried to ease the atmosphere and chuckled, "Well, let's have a good chat today. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and sat opposite Qin Wenyuan. She began to slowly recount her experiences during this period, those lonely nights, those helpless moments, and how she became stronger step by step.

Qin Wenyuan listened carefully, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He suddenly realized that what he once thought was love was actually just a bondage.

"Yunrong, I know that my concern for you in the past was too limited and made you feel constrained. From now on, I will respect your choice and support your decision." Qin Wenyuan said sincerely.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with emotion, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said lightly: "Thank you, Wenyuan. But I hope you can understand that I didn't change for your apology, but for myself."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a while. He suddenly remembered something and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Yunrong, you just said that you have learned to be independent. So, do you no longer need me?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, with a hint of determination in her smile: "Wenyuan, you misunderstood. I have learned to be independent, but it does not mean that I don't need you. On the contrary, I need you more. But I want an equal partner, not a leader."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes widened. He had never thought that Sheng Yunrong would have such an idea. He suddenly realized that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

"Yunrong, I know that my previous actions made you uncomfortable, but I really didn't expect that you would become so independent." Qin Wenyuan said bitterly.

The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely tense. Qin Wenyuan's anxious voice echoed in the empty hall, and his eyes were full of anxiety and sincerity.

"Wenyuan, why...why do you have to do this?" Tu Su Yuwei spoke softly, with a hint of doubt and worry in her eyes. Although she tried her best to stay calm, Qin Wenyuan's sudden reaction still shocked her.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Yuwei, I know I have been too cold to you during this period, but I really don't have any other thoughts. It's just that there are some things that I have to bear alone."

Tu Su Yuwei bit her lower lip gently, with a firm look in her eyes: "Wen Yuan, we are husband and wife, no matter what happens, we should face it together. If you bear it alone, it will only make me more worried."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Tu Su Yuwei and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This woman would always stand by his side. He gently held Tu Su Yuwei's hand and sighed deeply: "Yuwei, there are some things I really don't know how to say."

Tu Su Yuwei shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination and trust: "Wen Yuan, no matter what happens, I will accompany you to face it together."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You know, my father's position in the court is not stable. Recently, someone has been secretly planning to overthrow my father and usurp the throne."
