Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

On the first day of the wedding, the entire Chen family had dinner together.

Because of Wen Xingchen's status, others did not dare to act rudely, and the dinner was held in peace and quiet.

Wen Xingchen was also aware of his identity, so he didn't stay long.

After dinner, he left on the pretext of something. Chen Jingting accompanied him around the yard and took the opportunity to introduce each other's residences in the mansion.

Just a moment later, it suddenly started snowing, and the snowflakes got bigger and bigger, from millet grains to goose feathers, in an instant.

Wen Xingchen stood under the corridor watching the snow, which was foggy and mysterious.

She sighed, "This year should be another bumper year."

Chen Jingting leaned against the column in the corridor, still a little dazed as he looked at the beautiful princess.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, tinged with tenderness, and she was lively and graceful. Her eyes, like autumn water, were deep and bright, imbued with endless charm. Her lips were soft like petals, slightly upturned, exuding a captivating smile. In the long corridor, she was dressed in bright red brocade, her shoulders as sharp as a knife, her waist as slender as a vine, and with a slight turn, she was as poetic as a painting.

And such a beauty is yours.

Wen Xingchen didn't hear Chen Jingting's reply. He turned slightly sideways, his beautiful eyes filled with doubt.

Seeing him daydreaming, Wen Xingchen quietly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Jingting came back to his senses, looked at the dignified, polite and refreshing princess, and said with a smile: "I was wondering if I prayed to the gods and Buddhas too many times in my previous life, so I was able to marry the princess in this life."

Wen Xingchen shook his head seriously.

"This has nothing to do with you burning incense and worshipping Buddha."

"kindness?"

Wen Xingchen chuckled and said nothing.

Chen Jingting seemed to understand.

"Of course, I was able to marry the princess because of her grace."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"I once had a dream."

"What kind of dream?"

"I dreamed that I didn't marry you, but married someone else."

When Chen Jingting heard about marrying someone else, his heart inexplicably tightened.

He suddenly stood up straight.

"Who did you marry?"

Wen Xingchen blinked, realizing that he had become too proud of himself and had actually spoken out the secret in his heart.

"It's just a nightmare. This princess is marrying you today."

Wen Xingchen smiled like a flower, she would finally not repeat the tragedy of her previous life.

She slowly walked up to Chen Jingting and reached out her slender hand to touch his handsome face.

"You have finally fallen into the hands of this princess."

Chen Jingting always felt that the way she looked at him was as if she was looking at others through himself.

He really didn't like this feeling.

He reached out and grabbed her hand, the cold feeling made him slightly stunned.

The question has been changed.

"Cold?"

It was indeed a bit cold. Yingying, who was following them, wanted to go forward and offer them a hand warmer, but she saw Wen Xingchen making eye contact with her.

Then he quietly retreated back.

Wen Xingchen looked at Chen Jingting's worried expression, nodded, and said coquettishly, "It's cold."

Chen Jingting, a grown man, has never thought of using a hand warmer to keep warm. It’s not that he is not cold, but that he disdains to use it.

But she is a princess?

Chen Jingting looked at Yingying. As the princess's personal maid, how could she not bring these?

Yingying quickly hid the hand warmer in her sleeve and said evasively, "I'll go back and get it right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew.

"They just arrived and probably forgot to bring anything. Brother Jingting, please help me warm it up."

Chen Jingting was caught like that, and to be honest, he was reluctant to let go.

But with so many people coming and going, even though he was a grown man, he couldn't ignore the maids' gazes.

So he wanted to let go of Wen Xingchen's hand, but Wen Xingchen held it instead.

"Brother Jingting, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Chen Jingting stood a head taller than her, looking at her with lowered eyebrows, like a curious baby, which really made people's hearts move and couldn't stop.

"My Lord..."

Chen Jingting was so confused that he was lost. A shout shattered all hope in his heart.

"Your servant pays respects to the princess."

Wen Xingchen's infatuated look just now instantly subsided and he became dignified and polite.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Qiu is the housekeeper of the mansion. He received a notice that someone was looking for the fourth young master in his study.

The master has something to discuss.

But why did the fourth young master look at him with a slightly strange look?

"Fourth... Prince Consort, is it because I came at a bad time?"

Wen Xingchen glanced at Chen Jingting and saw that he had no expression on his face, but did not reply.

She took over the conversation and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"Princess, the master asked the prince consort to come over. He said he needs to take care of the matter of returning home tomorrow. He wanted the prince consort to see if there is anything else to prepare."

Wen Xingchen said, "Then...Brother Jingting, please go over quickly and don't keep father waiting for too long."

When Lin Qiu heard the name "Brother Jingting", he imagined many scenes of his fourth young master taking control of the princess.

How could Chen Jingting not know that the princess was putting on an act, but to save face for himself, he couldn't push his luck any further.

He bowed to the princess and took his leave, showing great respect.

After Chen Jingting left, Wen Xingchen put away the smile on his face.

Yingying walked forward and handed over the heater.

"Princess, let's go back to our own courtyard."

Wen Xingchen didn't move.

"Yingying, what do you think Chen Xiangcan do?"

Chen Jingting is now a palace guard and has not been involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

"Princess, when you return home tomorrow, you must first enter the palace to express your gratitude, and then return to the Marquis' residence. The Chen family is noble, so the return gift will naturally be considered."

return gift?

Wen Xingchen didn't care. It was a good thing for her to marry into the Chen family quietly and have a relationship with the palace and her adoptive father.

So it doesn’t matter whether the gift is enough or not.

"Let's go back."

Chen Family Study

While Chen Jingxi was waiting for his son to come, he had been looking at the gift list of the past two days. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

It’s not about how valuable the gift is, but about the person who gives it.

There were some of the top merchants in the capital, of course these merchants were not enough to scare him. What scared him were the high officials of the frontiers, the generals of the Xishan camp, and the military generals in the court. These people had no connection with the Chen family.

When Chen Jingting came in, he saw that his father had a serious expression on his face.

"Father, what did you call your son here for?"

Chen Jingting looked at his most useless son, who was not good at studying and often hung out in the streets.

Now he is lucky enough to marry the princess.

Moreover, the behavior of these two princesses was to give their sons enough face.

The Chen family cannot let such a good princess lose face.

"Would you like to take a look at these gift lists first?"

Chen Jingting took the thing his father handed over, raised his eyebrows and looked at his father playfully:

"Father, you are really good. You have made many friends with important officials over the years."

"You, speak properly."

Chen Jingting said: "It's written on the gift list. The frontier official, the general, sent a box of gifts. Also, the Beijing Patrol Battalion and the Xishan Camp sent gifts by the box..." After counting carefully, it turned out that his marrying a wife directly increased the Chen family's wealth by more than ten times.

"Your father and I have never had any contact with them."

"What about this?"

“So I have to ask you this.”

Chen Jingting shook his head. He had no connection with these people. However...

"How about my son go back and ask the princess?"
