Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder
Chapter 1033 Brainless Love and Resentment 1
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Wait a minute," came the voice of the groom, Li Renhuai. He took the memorial tablet handed to him by the steward and said to Jiang Chunxi, who was dressed in a wedding gown and had a red veil over her head, "A month ago, my cousin fell off a cliff while saving me. I couldn't bear to see her die without anyone to take care of her, so I plan to marry her memorial tablet as my first wife."
As soon as Li Renhuai finished speaking, the guests began to murmur among themselves.
"You child, how could you let someone bring out your cousin's memorial tablet on such a joyous day?" This was Li's mother's voice. "You only dare to bully Chunxi like this because you think Chunxi is good-natured."
Then, Li's mother said gently to Jiang Chunxi, "Chunxi, please don't hold it against Renhuai. The reason Renhuai did this was just to repay his cousin for saving his life. After all, if his cousin hadn't risked her life to lure away those bandits that day, Renhuai and I would probably have lost our lives."
“My poor niece,” Mother Li’s voice choked with sobs, “that child was so unfortunate. I took pity on her because she was an orphan, so I brought her to the Ningxin Marquis’s mansion to raise her. But I never thought that it would harm her child and cause her to die young, just like her parents who died at an early age.”
The niece that Li's mother mentioned was the daughter of her second brother from her maternal family. Her second brother was sickly and died young, and her second brother's wife committed suicide on the same day her husband died.
It was for this reason that Madam Li, feeling sorry for her niece who had lost both her father and mother at such a young age, took her back to the Ningxin Marquis's residence to raise her. However, she never expected that her son would develop feelings for her niece. Left with no other choice, Madam Li could only cooperate with her son in this charade. After all, if a daughter of the Xue family could not be a concubine, how could Madam Li not cooperate?
Li's mother's maiden name was Xue, and she was not from a prominent family. Her father was only a fourth-rank official. If it weren't for her falling in love with him at first sight, Li's mother, being the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official, would absolutely not have been qualified to marry Li's father, the heir of the Ningxin Marquis's mansion at the time.
Jiang Chunxi had already received all of the original owner's memories.
The marriage between the original owner and Li Renhuai was an arranged marriage between Li Renhuai's grandfather and the original owner's grandfather. It seemed like a good match, but in reality, it wasn't.
After Li Renhuai's grandfather passed away, the Ningxin Marquis's Mansion went on a downward spiral. This was because Li Renhuai's father was a refined man who loved poetry and literature and was very averse to officialdom. Therefore, after Li Renhuai's grandfather passed away, the Ningxin Marquis's Mansion was just an empty marquisate.
The original owner's grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the court, and he is still very healthy and has the emperor's deep trust.
As for the original owner's father, he was the Minister of Revenue, a second-rank official. Therefore, the original owner's marriage to Li Renhuai could be considered a marriage of convenience. If it weren't for Li Renhuai's grandfather arranging this betrothal when they were just born, based on his friendship with the original owner's grandfather, the Jiang family would not have looked down on Li Renhuai.
It's all because Li Renhuai is neither good at literature nor martial arts. Although he is better than his father, compared with the outstanding younger generation of the Jiang family, Li Renhuai is really too mediocre.
However, although Li Renhuai's abilities were mediocre, he was very good at charming women. Because of the betrothal he had been with since childhood, Li Renhuai had been in frequent contact with the original owner of the body since he was old enough to understand things. Naturally, he managed to make the original owner fall head over heels for him, just like a brainless person who was obsessed with love.
Therefore, on the wedding day, Li Renhuai proposed to marry his cousin's memorial tablet, and the original owner actually agreed, handing over the position of legitimate wife.
