The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night
Chapter 1 I am the cannon fodder
"Ah! The bride hit the pillar!"
"Call the doctor!"
"Miss, Miss, you can't die!"
The noise in his ears was too loud. Su Li rubbed his aching temples and woke up from the fear of the car accident.
Just now, she was driving home tired after working overtime at the company, but was hit by a cement truck at an intersection...
When I opened my eyes, I saw red everywhere.
The bright red curtains, the bright red carpet, the bright red wedding characters, the bright red bloodstains blurred my eyes...
Bright red everything!
——This is a wedding hall.
There were also the faces of the people, which were terrified, nervous, and magnified to an incredible degree.
"Wake up! It's good that you're awake!"
A middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Li wake up. Then he turned around and yelled at someone:
"Rebellious son! Look at what you've done! Hurry up and come over here and apologize to Su Li!"
Su Li followed everyone's gaze.
The man was wearing a red wedding gown, with a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome but cold appearance. He was holding a pretty woman tightly in one hand and a babbling child in the other.
Hearing this, he remained expressionless but firm:
"Dad! Liu Xu and I are truly in love.
Originally, I thought Liu Xu didn't want me anymore, so I agreed to this marriage out of despair. But today she came to my house with her child, and I will definitely not get married again.
Dad! The person I want to marry is Liu Xu, not this idiot!
If this idiot wants to die, let her die!"
"presumptuous!"
The middle-aged man rushed forward and slapped the man's chiseled face hard, pointing at the woman named Liu Xu, shaking with anger:
"She is a woman of unknown origin. Is she worth giving up such a good Yue family like the Su family and such a good girl like Su Li?
Pei Yan, where's your brain?
Do you still want your future and the reputation of the Marquisate?
If you dare to take a single step out of the Marquis' Mansion today, I will no longer have you as my son!"
Pei Yan! Willow catkins?
and many more!
Aren't these the hero and heroine in the melodramatic novel "Spoiling the Concubine and Destroying the Wife" that she read many years ago?
At that time, she was laughing because she had the same name and surname as the male protagonist's useless cannon fodder wife!
Depend on!
I feel like I've traveled through a book!
And he even turned into that useless cannon fodder wife—Su Li, the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion! ?
Headache!
Slowly!
Su Li looked at the chaos in front of her and felt a pang of heartache.
In the original novel, the story begins with the heroine Liu Xu bringing her child to the house to grab the bride, and the hero Pei Yan regrets the engagement on the spot.
Su Li cried, made a fuss, and even banged her head against the wall. Her marriage caused a sensation in the whole city and finally alarmed the palace.
In the end, under pressure, the male protagonist was forced to marry Su Li.
After marriage, Pei Yan seemed to have changed his ways and was very affectionate towards Su Li, but in fact, it was all fake.
He used contraceptive soup as a tonic to make Su Li infertile for life, and then sent her to the beds of officials one after another, turning her into a plaything and engaging in power-for-sex transactions for him.
After her usefulness was exhausted, Su Li was thrown into a brothel, where she became ill, suffered from ulcers in her lower body, and died of vomiting blood.
Depend on!
Su Li's hands and feet turned cold when she thought of the fate of the cannon fodder mistress in the original novel.
She would shudder even to be in the same room with such a sinister and vicious man, let alone marry him!
What's the point of getting married? I have to run away quickly.
However, the bridal sedan has already arrived.
The original owner's father, Marquis Yong'an, attached great importance to family traditions and ethics. He talked about etiquette and integrity all the time. He believed that a daughter who was married off was like spilled water. Even if she died in the Pei family, he would never let her return to her parents' home.
Therefore, when things got to the point of escalating, even though Su Li hit her head against the pillar, she never thought of breaking off the engagement and going home.
Now, how can I get out of this?
Then you can only...
……
Over there, when Pei Yan heard Marquis Jinyuan say this, the determination in his eyes was instantly torn apart.
It is extremely difficult for children of aristocratic families to make a name for themselves in officialdom after leaving their home.
He can't afford to gamble!
Sensing Pei Yan's hesitation, Liu Xu suddenly spoke.
Her cat-like eyes are smart and cunning:
"Pei Lang, didn't you say that you hated arranged marriages and feudal ethics the most, and that you longed for a free and unrestrained life? Didn't you want to fall in love with me freely and be together for the rest of our lives?"
"Xu'er, I did say that, but..."
"Pei Lang, believe me, even if we lose the Marquis' Mansion, with your talent and my ability, we will eventually be able to carve out a new world.
The pedantic rules and outdated customs of these wealthy families will only restrict human nature and destroy conscience. Do you still want to go along with them?
Don't you long for the freedom and new world I'm talking about?"
The sweet sound of willow catkins is full of temptation.
Su Li looked at the catkins quietly.
In the original novel, Liu Xu became Pei Yan's concubine and was once brutally retaliated by Su Li.
However, Liu Xu won the heart of the Ninth Princess at a banquet with a cup of Yangzhi Ganlu and became her best friend. From then on, she started her counterattack.
From catering, tea, silk, to salt, grain transport, and even arms, her business spread across the country, and she eventually controlled the economic lifeline of the Great Qi Dynasty.
This is a super talented person.
Unfortunately, he has become her enemy now.
Pei Yan listened to Liu Xu's words, and finally the last trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared.
He firmly held Liu Xu's hand and walked out the door without looking back. From beginning to end, he never looked at Su Li once.
However, Liu Xu, when she turned around, swept her beautiful cat eyes over Su Li, full of contempt, disdain, ridicule, and even pity.
Su Li knew that she was declaring victory!
"Yan'er!"
The wife of the marquis screamed in pain behind him, but it could not bring back Pei Yan who was determined to run towards freedom and a new world.
Marquis Jin Yuan, who had been so powerful just now, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant and staggered and fell into a chair.
"My Lord! What should we do? Are we just going to let Yan'er go like this?"
The marquis' wife hugged Marquis Jinyuan's arm and shook it.
"The traitor! The traitor!"
Marquis Jinyuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
In the wedding hall, the guests began to leave.
In this wealthy wedding that attracted the attention of the entire capital, the groom had already run away. What were these guests who were there to drink in the wedding still doing?
However, the most embarrassed person should be the bride.
From today on, Su Li, the pampered daughter of the Yong'an Marquis, will be completely reduced to a laughingstock. She will face a life of confinement in the family temple, a life of secluded lamps and ancient Buddhas, or perhaps even death to preserve her reputation!
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
But just as they turned to leave, a clear female voice suddenly rang out in the hall:
"Wait a minute!"
Everyone looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.
Su Li, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, was stunningly beautiful. The bright red streak on her forehead not only did not ruin her beauty, but made her even more stunningly beautiful.
At this moment, she stood in the middle of the wedding hall, with a graceful posture and a slight smile on her lips.
But compared to the crazy look of crying, making a fuss and banging the wall just now, this calm scene makes people feel more panicked and trembling.
She opened her red lips slightly and said lightly:
"Today is my Su Li's wedding day. Since you have come from so far away, it is not too late to leave after drinking this wedding wine!"
"Li'er!"
Marquis Jinyuan sighed deeply, thinking that Su Li had gone insane, and reminded him with a mixture of heartache and guilt,
"It's my Pei family who has let you down.
But don't worry, although you and that beast haven't officially married yet, you were officially carried into the Jinyuan Marquis Mansion in a red sedan chair with three matchmakers and six betrothals, and I accept you as my daughter-in-law.
From now on, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will not treat you unfairly."
Marquis Jin Yuan's words hit the mark, and Su Li, who had suffered a series of blows today, finally felt better.
However, she shook her head and smiled slightly:
"My Lord, you are very understanding and righteous. Su Li thanks you in advance. However, there is another way to resolve today's matter. I wonder if my Lord would listen to my advice?"
Marquis Jin Yuan looked at Su Li's smile that was as bright as the sun and felt it was extremely ironic. He was also more worried about her mental state. His heart was in a knot, and he didn't know what she was going to say.
But no matter what she said, she had to bear it.
Who made Jinyuanhou Mansion wrong others first?
Thinking of this, Marquis Jin Yuan nodded.
Su Li tugged at her wide wedding gown, turned gracefully, and said to the guests in a graceful manner:
"Everyone, the Su and Pei families have been friends for centuries, and their affection is deep. Pei Yan doesn't want to marry me, but he doesn't know that I don't want to marry him either..."
"Li'er!"
Marquis Yuan of Jin lost his voice.
What is Su Li doing?
Su Li ignored it, paused and continued:
"Since he and I don't like each other, forcing ourselves to be together will only make us a couple of unhappy people. Why not just let it go and go our separate ways from now on?"
Marquis Jinyuan and his wife were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Even the governess and maids around Su Li were so shocked that their mouths opened wide.
Could it be that she wants to break off the marriage?
impossible!
The second son of the Marquis's mansion was getting married. Everything was complete, including three matchmakers, six betrothal gifts, asking for the bride price, asking for the bride's name, asking for the wedding date, asking for the bride price, and welcoming the bride. Even if there was no wedding ceremony or concluding ceremony, Su Li was still considered a member of the Jinyuan Marquis's mansion!
Besides, there has never been a precedent of aristocratic families terminating marriages!
If Su Li really gets to this point today, then the Jinyuan Marquis Mansion will be the laughing stock of the entire Qi Dynasty!
Marquis Jin Yuan was so shocked that he was about to speak out to stop her, but he saw Su Li slowly turn around, spread out her wedding gown, and kneeled on the ground, saying to Marquis Jin Yuan in a loud voice:
"Su Li, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, has long admired the crown prince of the Marquis of Jinyuan, Pei Heng. Today, I beg to marry him and will never betray him for the rest of my life! Please grant my blessing, my Lord and Madam."
After saying that, he hit his head to the ground with a thud.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar!
