"I'm not saying what you're saying?" Chen Jie put down the porcelain ladle.
Du Yaoyao excused herself, "It's normal for people to change when they are stimulated. Some people have a moment of enlightenment when they are about to die, and some people have a sudden enlightenment after being seriously ill. I belong to the latter."
Chen Jie sneered very lightly.
Obviously he didn't believe it.
Du Yaoyao knew that Chen Ji was difficult to deal with, so she stopped trying to reason with him and feigned anger, "Or do you think that I have been bought by the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and am a spy sent by Prince Chen, pretending to be friendly with you in order to murder you?"
It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but he has many secret guards around him and he is cautious enough. Shen Jie said slowly, “You don’t have this ability.”
Du Yaoyao laughed at herself, "I won't overestimate my abilities."
The original owner was a brainless woman, and the Yongning Marquis' Mansion would not use her. And she just wanted to survive.
Shen Jie remained silent for a long time.
Du Yaoyao lowered her head and sighed softly, "If you are worried, then divorce me and let me go back to my hometown in Qingzhou."
Shen Jie's thoughtful gaze fell on her face.
Du Yaoyao clenched her palms and said with a stiff face, "If you are afraid that I will marry again in the future and embarrass you, the censor, I can cut off my hair, go to a nunnery and become a nun, and spend the rest of my life in seclusion."
Chen Jie pulled the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became even colder.
"Do you think I'm asking you this because I want to divorce you?"
Of course not. You want me to give a reasonable explanation for the changes in myself.
If I say that I am from the 21st century - a country you have never heard of, and you are the male protagonist of the novel I read, I will transform into your cannon fodder ex-wife who died early.
Would you believe it? Wouldn't you drag me out and beat me to death as if I were a monster?
Du Yaoyao didn't dare to gamble on Chen Jie's trust. Their friendship is a relationship of playing and being played with in bed.
She changed the subject and asked, "Do you believe in predictions?"
Shen Jie stared at her steadily and motioned for her to continue.
Du Yaoyao said: "I had a really high fever when I was sick, and I did forget some things. The only thing I remember clearly is that I had a dream at that time."
"What dream?"
Du Yaoyao took a deep breath and considered her words, "I dreamed that the Prince of Chen was defeated, the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and you became the Prime Minister."
Shen Jie's expression froze, and he asked sternly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
When the emperor was still alive, people spoke frankly about the crown prince's ascension to the throne, implying a curse that the emperor would die or that the crown prince would murder his parents and commit treason.
Du Yaoyao bravely narrated, "In the dream, you killed Prince Chen, killed the entire Yongning Marquisate..." After a pause, "You also killed me."
Shen Jie's expression did not change during the first two sentences, but he chuckled softly when he heard the last sentence. With disbelief and disdain.
"You think I'm going to kill you?"
Du Yaoyao said nothing, obviously agreeing.
The original owner of the book died because of Lin Shuwan. Here, she intentionally misled Chen Jie. In the dream, she was implicated and died in the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Shen Jie thought about this question seriously and came to the conclusion, "Unless you betray me first." Later, he overturned it, "I will not kill my own woman. This is not what a husband does."
