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

Chen Jingting explained, "My family should have made me new clothes."

Wen Xingchen's eyes seemed to be both angry and irritated, which made people feel pity for her. Chen Jingting had no choice but to stretch out his hands and let her toss her around.

After tying the belt, Wen Xingchen admired it from left to right.

He wore a jet-black brocade gown embroidered with intricate cloud patterns, creating a sense of mystery. The hem was trimmed with golden thread, adding a touch of nobility and splendor. A gold-inlaid jade belt, cinched around his waist, perfectly showcased his heroic demeanor.

Wen Xingchen became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it, but there was still something missing.

Yingzi brought a tray with a row of jade pendants on it.

Wen Xingchen chose a double crane and helped him tie it.

Only then did he nod in satisfaction.

I casually asked, "How is it?"

Yingzi said, "The prince consort has a handsome face and a bright eye. The princess and the prince consort are truly a match made in heaven."

Yingying agreed, "Yes, I have never seen anyone more distinguished and impressive than your husband."

Wen Xingchen was in a good mood after hearing their praises.

"You guys are good at talking. I'll give you some gold ingots as a reward. Go get them yourself."

"Thank you princess."

Chen Jingting looked at himself carefully in the mirror. His noble aura made him deeply understand the saying that clothes make the man.

He turned slightly to look at the princess, and saw satisfaction in her eyes.

He chuckled and said, "Princess, are you satisfied with this dress or with my face?"

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "For me, it's just the icing on the cake. You are now the consort of this princess."

"Princess, what are you saying? When I was just the fourth son of the Chen family, didn't you dislike me?"

Wen Xingchen was silent for a moment, then said, "When I was a princess, you didn't dislike me, did you? Do you dislike me now? It's too late."

Chen Jingting explained: "How could I dislike it?"

Wen Xingchen sighed in his heart, "You used to dislike me a lot. But now?"

"Your body now belongs to me. There's nowhere to escape."

Chen Jingting smiled. His smile was full of romance.

Wen Xingchen said proudly:

"This princess has to admire myself. I was so smart back then. I asked for an imperial decree to grant you a marriage and betroth you to me."

After hearing this, Chen Jingting was somewhat skeptical.

"Speaking of this, the princess originally said she would pursue me, but in the end, she saved trouble and directly granted the marriage."

To save trouble?

"You are wrong. I asked for your permission to marry you because I was protecting you."

Protect?

Wen Xingchen nodded and said, "Indeed, if anyone knew that this princess chose to marry you instead of Xiao Sheng, then you would be in danger... They wouldn't let me marry anyone else. But an arranged marriage is different. Once the emperor has arranged a marriage, it cannot be changed. If they want to harm you, they have to consider whether they have the chance to do so."

"Why did you choose me?"

Wen Xingchen looked at him thoughtfully. Why did he choose him?

Of course it’s because I couldn’t get the love I wanted in my previous life.

In this life, I have tried so hard to keep people around me.

"Because I like you."

Chen Jingting didn't quite believe it. At first, he thought she was taking revenge on Xiao Sheng, but later he found out that it wasn't the case.

If so, he shouldn't have degraded Xiao Sheng to the mud, and he wouldn't have been so cruel as to refuse to see him when he was dying.

Besides, if he gave himself to me just for revenge, it would be a real loss.

But she said she liked me?

"Princess, do you believe it yourself?"

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"What? You don't believe it?"

Wen Xingchen spread his hands and said with a distressed look:

"Oh, what shall I do? How shall I prove it?"

Chen Jingting was amused by her.

"When I met you before, I thought you were a beautiful and cold girl. Now it seems that the princess was good at disguise. I was deceived..." Although he was uneducated and had a capricious and domineering personality, after being married for so long, Wen Xingchen was considerate and kind to others, which was surprising.

Got scammed? That's out of the question.

Wen Xingchen felt happy that he got the person.

"You've been cheated. It seems that Jingzhao Yin doesn't handle this kind of case? You may have to swallow this anger." There was a smug tone in his voice, and he looked playful and cute, which made Chen Jingting laugh.

The words came out of his mouth: "The princess is so outstanding, I am really marrying above my station."

Wen Xingchen blinked. This was not what she had said in her previous life. He had said, "With you being so stubborn, I should have been glad that my engagement was broken off."

He said this with gritted teeth.

Looking at this young man with red lips and white teeth today, the words he utters make people feel so comfortable.

Chen Jingting saw that she was distracted, which made him feel once again that she was hiding something in her heart.

And it's something I can't tell myself.

But he was not in a hurry, there was still a long time to go, and now she was his.

every other day

When Chen Jingting got up, new clothes were already placed on the table, but his old clothes were nowhere to be seen.

He put on new clothes and waited for the return from the princess's residence to the Chen family. He was watched by everyone along the way. When the housekeeper Lin Qiu saw Chen Jingting, he was stunned at first, then stepped forward to greet him and said, "The fourth young master is back."

"Get up, are mom and dad awake?"

"Well, the master has gone to court, and the lady is in the backyard."

Lin Qiu smiled again and said, "The fourth young master is dressed up today... He is so handsome that even the flowers and trees in the mansion look brighter. This old servant almost didn't recognize him..." Chen Jingting's face was slightly hot, but he didn't stop and just replied lightly, "It's just new clothes, why is it so particular?" But he sighed in his heart, he knew it would have this effect.

"Go ahead, I'm going to see my mother."

Liumei Garden

Mrs. Lu was in Liumei Garden, reporting something.

Mrs. Chen looked at the report and was very satisfied.

"This year's New Year's goods are much more frugal than in previous years." Although it is frugal, the materials are better than in previous years.

"Old man, your housekeeping is getting better and better."

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to take credit for it. She said, "Mother, this is all thanks to my fourth brother."

Mrs. Chen handed her the list.

Judging from the list, there are some New Year goods that do not require cash.

"I wonder if those friends of the fourth brother are reliable?"

The Chen family is noble, so naturally they don't want to ask for other people's things for free.

Mrs. Lu knew her mother's concerns and said, "Don't worry, mother. Fourth brother will be able to handle things without any worries."

The two were chatting when Nanny Quan came in with a smile and reported, "The fourth young master is back."

Hearing Chen Jingting coming over, Mrs. Chen smiled happily and said, "Let him in."

As soon as Chen Jingting stepped in, Zhao stopped him.

Is this man dressed in brocade and with an extraordinary aura his son?

"The son pays his respects to his mother."

"I've met my sister-in-law."

This call brought Zhao back to his senses.

She walked around her son a few times, looking him up and down.

"If you hadn't spoken, I would have thought that immortal had descended to the mortal world."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingting said pretentiously, "Then mother, why don't you come and pay your respects to me? I can bless you with many children and good fortune..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked.

"I said a few words to you, and you're still panting."

Chen Jingting smiled and said, "Son, aren't you just following your mother's instructions?"

Zhao knew about this and had to say that her son looked really noble when he dressed up.

Mrs. Lu asked, "Fourth brother, where did you get this dress?"

"The embroiderer at the princess's mansion made it, but her son refused to wear it, and the princess insisted that he wear it..."

If it weren't for that smug look on his face, Zhao would have really believed his lies.

"I can see with my own eyes that the princess treats you very well and truly wants to live with you. You must not let her down."

"Son, save it."

Zhao seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, will you come back during the Chinese New Year?"

"I think..." Chen Jingting thought of something and said, "I'll go back and ask the princess what she thinks."

"You're still not capable of being a princess?"

"How about you send someone to inform the princess and ask her to come back and live here?"

“…I don’t dare…”

"Son, from what you said, it seems like you're trying to take advantage of your elder status, but now it seems you're still a weakling."

Zhao: Is that what I meant? I mean...never mind, that seems to be the meaning.

"Forget it, wait a moment, I will go and ask the princess to come back myself."

Chen Jingting: Not necessarily.
