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

Chen Jingye looked at his brother teasingly.

"You two, an engaged couple, can say whatever you want behind closed doors, but remember not to be too ostentatious."

"Yes, big brother. When I see her later, I will tell her what you mean."

"......." Chen Jingye was stunned, then said, "That's not what Big Brother meant."

"What does that mean, big brother?"

"Today's teahouse debate, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is also here."

Chen Jingting frowned.

"Are you going to the debate?"

Chen Jingting said, "I have to go on duty and don't have time to go." He didn't like debates, where there were many schools of thought and everyone had their own ideas.

A debate is an argument, and whoever wins the argument wins.

"You can handle the princess's affairs. Don't let others look down on you."

"..."

Chen Jingting returned to his room, took a shower first, then sat at his desk and fell into deep thought.

After getting engaged to the princess, the emperor transferred him into the palace to serve as an imperial guard.

The emperor kept him under his nose with the intention of protecting the Chen family.

The emperor was also worried that the princess might act recklessly.

What was the princess's purpose in participating in the debate? Was it to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?

He was in a bad mood and could no longer sit still.

He got up and went out to look for the princess.

Wen Xingchen listened to music and had fun at the princess's mansion. He didn't come back until very late and had just left the mansion.

Tired of playing, Wen Xingchen took a nap in the carriage. The carriage was big enough and had a small bed inside.

Just as I was half asleep, I heard Chen Jingting's voice outside the carriage.

"Is the princess inside?"

Then he felt someone coming in. Wen Xingchen sat up from the bed and found that the person had already come in.

It was pitch black outside, but inside the carriage was a night-shining pearl the size of a bowl. It emitted a soft glow alone in the darkness, like tiny stars dotting the darkness. Beneath that night-shining pearl sat an even brighter pearl.

"Brother Jingting, why are you here? Did you just get off duty?"

Chen Jingting, who came in, was suddenly awakened when he heard the voice of "Brother Jingting".

What is he going to do? I feel like a pathetic young wife questioning her husband.

It is neither possible to advance nor to retreat.

"Brother Jingting, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Jingting sat on the soft seat on one side of the carriage.

"I'll take you back."

"Then come closer. You're too far away and I can't see you clearly." Wen Xingchen pointed at the cushion and motioned him to sit by the bed.

Chen Jingting knew that her orders could not be questioned, and if he argued with her, he would lose in the end.

So she followed his instructions and sat next to her.

Wen Xingchen had been busy all day and was indeed a little sleepy.

When Chen Jingting came over, she lay down with peace of mind.

"Brother Jingting, can I hold your hand?"

"..."

"I really don't do anything, just hold your hand." There was a plea in the gentle voice.

Chen Jingting put his hand on the bed, and she took his hand and placed it under her face as a pillow.

The soft touch made him tremble subconsciously.

But the person on the pillow seemed not to hear and continued to sleep.

When the carriage arrived at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Yingying did not dare to urge him outside. After waiting for a while, Chen Jingting got off the carriage.

Asked Yingying: "Why is your princess going to the debate competition today?"

Not wanting her husband to misunderstand, Yingying told the truth, "The princess went there today because of a man named Wu Shidao. He even acted as a matchmaker for me, asking me to marry him. The princess said that Wu Shidao would surely hold an important position in the future."

"Wu Shidao?"

"Yes, a poor scholar. If you have any doubts, you can check him out. The princess also gave him two thousand taels of silver. If he was cheated, those two thousand taels of silver would be wasted. Two thousand taels of silver are not worth much, but if the princess loses, she will be heartbroken."

"Wu Shidao, huh?"

"Yes."

"Take good care of the princess. I will go find out about the scholar's background someday."

"Yes."

Chen Jingting sent the princess home and left.

Late at night, in the stillness of the room, he was hunched over his desk, writing something.

The next morning, when he was on duty, he entrusted his eldest brother with a task, hoping that his eldest brother would help him ask about Wu Shidao's situation.

My eldest brother is now a teacher at Songshan College, which is simple for him.

Wen Xingchen woke up the next day and was about to get dressed when she saw a letter on the bed.

She opened it and saw the familiar handwriting, which made her smile slightly.

I wrote three thousand words, but I only have one point of view.

Love at first sight is not about appearance, but about a certain moment that appears in your mind and you can never forget it.

There are thousands and thousands of people who are good-looking, gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable, but for some people, it is their own destiny.

It’s not that I can’t forget, but that I can’t forget.

After reading it, Wen Xingchen felt a little dazed and a little heavy.

Fate? Who was he talking about?

His 'early deceased' white moonlight is probably still alive now.

Oh, this question is really ridiculous. It’s just asking for trouble.

"Princess, you are awake. Do you want to get up?"

Wen Xingchen packed the letter and asked Yingying to pack it up.

Yingying asked curiously, "Where did the letter come from?"

"Sent by Chen Jingting?"

"Did he leave it here when he brought the princess back yesterday? How come I didn't notice it?"

"Hehe, he must have come back after leaving."

"That's impossible? The Ningyuan Marquis's residence is heavily patrolled, how could he do that?"

You don't know, he is very skilled in martial arts.

Wen Xingchen stood up after being helped by Yingying. He saw Benben cleaning outside the door from a distance and asked, "Have you rested well, Benben?"

"This girl, I told her to have a good rest, but she refused."

"You let her in."

"Yes."

When Benben came in, Wen Xingchen was already putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

"This servant pays respects to the princess."

Wen Xingchen said to the person in the mirror, "Benben, come forward."

Benben stepped forward and knelt before the princess.

Seeing that the originally innocent and lovely person had become silent, Wen Xingchen comforted him softly:

"Benben, Wen Liu's death has nothing to do with you. He brought this upon himself. You've rid the people of this evil, and you're a hero in this mansion. Do you understand?"

"My Lady, I understand. I am not wrong. I will not be sad about such a dirty thing."

"That's right. In this mansion, I, the princess, will protect you. No one dares to do anything to you. Even if they do, I, the princess, have the sword in my hand and can avenge you."

"Yes, thank you, my lady."

Benben was already a little frightened. She had killed the lady's dowry, and the lady would definitely not let it go.

I am just a slave, and my life and death are decided by my mistress.

"Your indentures are all in the hands of this princess. No one else can decide your fate except this princess. You have followed this princess for many years and are her people. If others bully you, they are bullying this princess. This princess will not let it go. Do you understand?"

Benben nodded wildly, tears of emotion flowing from his eyes.

She has been in a state of panic these days, fearing that the princess will sell her out.

But not only did the princess not do that, she also comforted herself, saying that the princess was truly the best master in the world.

"Go down to work and keep your back straight."

"Yes."
