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

"I want gentlemen, and I also want villains. Why do I want villains? I want to use their strengths, their special abilities. However, we must adhere to the bottom line of morality, which is to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details. If you blindly pursue the clearest water, there will be no fish, and if you pursue the most observant people, there will be no followers. You will gain small gains and lose big ones. Looking at the bigger picture, as long as they have not lost their great virtues and integrity, they are definitely useful."

"The harsh government of the court and the punishments of the Ministry of Justice naturally demand the purest water, the most just and fair..."

"..."

Wen Xingchen undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention. She was bold in speaking out and making comments, unlike the other students who were so shy and unable to speak freely.

Someone on the judging platform shouted "good!", and the students who were watching the excitement finally came back to their senses from their shock.

"This young man's debate angle is unique, smooth and bold, and refreshing."

"Yes, it really made me realize that 'listening to your words is worth ten years of reading.' Many of my previous doubts have now been answered."

"Yes, yes. After listening to Wu Yong's words, we feel that this is the way it should be. But this brother has really opened our eyes."

"But if she does this, she will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

"She said that as long as one does not lose one's virtues and integrity, one is good. No one in the world is perfect. Besides, if people like you were the same, there would be no military generals who would risk their lives, and no scholars who would govern the country."

"If anyone truly fails in moral conduct, they will be punished by law."

"Who is this guy? Why haven't I seen him before? New to Beijing? Let's go get to know him later..."

In the teahouse, Furun, Xiao Bo, Xiao Sheng, and Xiling'er looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Cousin Xingchen is really impressive."

Furun also nodded.

"Suddenly I feel that Wu Yong is not good enough."

Fu Run just turned around and saw Xiao Bo holding a rope in his hand. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Uncle Xiao said embarrassedly: "I'm just worried that my cousin will be embarrassed and we can run away. It's not necessary now..." He quickly threw away the rope.

Furun glared at him.

Xiao Sheng was a little angry, but he didn't even know what he was angry about.

"It's just grandstanding."

Wen Xingchen came down from the stage and was about to leave when he was surrounded by people.

When asked her name, Wen Xingchen just smiled and said her name calmly.

At that time, Chen Jingye, who was on the second floor, seemed to have not expected that a Cheng Yaojin would appear today.

Although she was sharp-tongued and exuded a pride that others did not have, such a person was like a piece of beautiful jade. If she was polished well, she would definitely become a pillar of the beam.

He looked at Master Liang Hong who was in a high position, and his eyes also flashed with the thirst for wealth.

"Master Liang, I'll go meet him."

"Go ahead. If you can get him into Songshan College, that would be the best."

"Yes."

Chen Jingye went downstairs, and the crowd made way for him because he was going downstairs.

He walked towards Wen Xingchen and said, "This young man has a clear mind and is refreshing. I wonder who his teacher is?"

Wen Xingchen looked at Chen Jingye, whose angular face was somewhat similar to Chen Jingting, but more elegant than Chen Jingting.

Wen Xingchen didn't want to hide it either.

Instead, he called out, "Brother Chen."

big brother?

Chen Jingye was stunned for a moment, then observed her carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen such a handsome man. If he had seen him, he would have been impressed.

"Who is this young master?"

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I am Wen Xingchen from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and a friend of Brother Jingting."

Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?

The fourth brother’s fiancée.

Princess.

Chen Jingye felt a little sorry, but he was also happy for his brother.

The princess is not as bad as the outside world says. She has a clear mind and is comparable to a great scholar.

He bowed to the other person and said, "So it's... you... Since you're here, leave a question. The teahouse rules are that the winner gets to come up with the next question."

Wen Xingchen thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Chen, will Brother Jingting come to participate next time?"

Chen Jingye shook his head. His fourth brother didn't like these things.

"It's hard to say."

Wen Xingchen also thought it was impossible. He was a general who had been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield holding a silver spear.

"Oh, if he can come, then my question will be: Is love at first sight just pure attraction or genuine admiration? If he doesn't come, then the question will be: Success or failure determines the hero. If you succeed, you're a hero, but if you fail, you're a loser."

Chen Jingye didn't ask anything, but said, "Yes."

Seeing how polite Chen Jingye was to Wen Xingchen, everyone guessed that Wen Xingchen's identity must be extraordinary.

No one dared to act recklessly and just let the princess go.

Wen Xingchen did not go upstairs, but left the teahouse, got on a carriage, and left.

But Wen Xingchen did not leave, but turned a corner and stopped the car.

She opened the curtain and saw Wu Shidao walking alone from afar.

"Yingying, go to the front and call that person over."

"Yes, girl."

Although Yingying didn't know why the girl called a stranger, she still obeyed.

It’s just that the man was a bit talkative, and a few words annoyed Yingying.

After that, Yingying directly tied the person up.

Wen Xingchen looked at Yingying's rough methods and felt amused, but he still pretended to be angry and said:

"Yingying, how could you treat Master Wu like this? Quickly untie him!"

Yingying said, "He has no manners at all. I told him that the master wanted to talk to him, but he was so nagging and refused."

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "He doesn't want to, probably because he doesn't know it's me, right? Master Wu?"

Wu Shidao didn't expect that the person looking for him would be him.

Today's debate competition, the one who wins the competition.

"Is it Young Master Wen who invited me?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is it that I am unworthy?"

Wu Shidao looked at the carriage. Although it belonged to either the rich or the noble, it looked like it was used by a woman.

She thought it was a girl from a certain family, but she didn't expect it to be him.

"Why are you riding in a carriage like this?"

This kind of carriage?

Wen Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "My sister at home, pick me up by the way."

"I see, your maid is a bit fierce."

Yingying was about to retort, but she heard Wen Xingchen say, "That's my sister."

"..."

Wu Shidao changed his tone and said, "Your sister is quite strong."

This man is still as aware of the current affairs as ever.

"I wonder why Master Wen wants to see me? How did Master Wen know me?"

"Of course Wu Yong mentioned you."

Wu Shidao had no doubt and said, "So that's how it is."

"Then what do you want from me?"

"I see that Master Wu has a full forehead and is full of talent. He will definitely achieve great things in the future, so I want to act as a matchmaker for him."

"what?"

"What do you think of my sister?"

Yingying: ...

Wu Shidao looked at Yingying. She looked okay, but she had this temper?

He dare not.

"If my sister gets married, I will prepare a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver for her."

"..."

He is now short of money, and even more short of opportunities to make a name for himself.

If he wasn't short of money, he would definitely want to participate in the debate competition. How could he give up the opportunity to stand out to others?

This is a relief.

"Marriage requires the consent of parents and the words of a matchmaker."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Yingying, give him two thousand taels of silver."

Dowry? Isn't it something the man gives to the woman's family?

"what do you mean?"

"A greeting gift. This is the custom in my family."

Is there such a rule in the capital?

Wu Shidao was a little hesitant, but it was precisely because of this hesitation that Yingying had already stuffed the silver into his arms, along with the silver, she also stuffed an exquisite sachet into his arms.

He turned around to look at Yingying, a little girl with a shy look on her face, completely different from the domineering and fierce person just now.
