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

Wen Xingchen went to the private room to see Furun, and Furun smiled when he saw Wen Xingchen.

He gave her a thumbs-up and then said, "It seems that you are highly regarded by Lord Liang, as he gave you such a well-structured question."

"Who would you choose among your three cousins?"

Wen Xingchen said, "Establishing an heir and a legitimate heir is an enduring ethical principle. What else is there to argue about?"

"Mother has no legitimate son."

"The Queen doesn't have a legitimate son, but she does have a legitimate daughter."

After hearing this, Furun immediately put away his joking expression and said expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"

"..."

Wen Xingchen did not respond.

"Let's go. I heard a piece of music at your house yesterday and thought it was wonderful. Let's go listen to it again today."

Furun also felt that this was not a place to talk, so he said, "Let's go."

The two left.

Yingying stayed.

Yingying went to see Wu Shidao.

Wu Shidao deliberately asked, "Who is your master?"

Yingying smiled and responded, "He's someone you can never be compared to even if you work hard your whole life."

"Miss, do you look down on Wu?"

Yingying shook her head.

"You are the one my master likes, so naturally I like you too. And I don't call you Miss, my name is Jin Yingying."

"..."

Yingying took out something she had prepared and said, "This is the new dress I made last night. It's for you."

"For me?"

"Of course, since my master has decided to betroth me to you, you are naturally my future husband, my Jin Yingying's husband, so you naturally cannot dress too shabby." These words sounded a bit awkward, but inexplicably made people feel soft in their hearts.

"..."

"Also, my home is in the west of the city. My father is away from home all year round, so the house is empty now. You can live there from now on and help take care of the house."

Wu Shidao suddenly felt like pie had fallen from the sky, and there was more than one pie.

"Miss... Miss Yingying, I have a place to stay, so I won't go."

"Huh? Why? Do you want to feel the pain of my fist? I gave you two thousand taels of silver, and you're so hesitant when I asked you to look after the house?" Is this a housekeeping job? I'm living in the woman's house before we're even married. What kind of rumors will spread if this gets out?

But he said:

“No…I dare not.”

"That's fine if you don't dare. Come on, I'll take you to my house first. Remember, you can use anything in the yard, but you must not touch the wine in the cellar. That's my father's treasure. If you do, you'll die miserably."

"..."

Wen Xingchen arrived at the princess's mansion, and Yingying came back soon after.

She nodded to Wen Xingchen, and Wen Xingchen knew that she had gotten the job done.

Furun saw Yingying and asked, "Yingying, where have you been?"

"I went to see my future husband. Seeing that he was not dressed appropriately today, I decided to buy him two pieces of clothing."

"Oh, you two, master and servant, are both stubborn. Why do you settle down so quickly?" "Princess, I think it's good to settle down." It's good to find a man to play with. It's like planting a fruit tree. You water and fertilize it, and watch it grow day by day. The final result is quite interesting.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let me find you one. I will definitely find someone better than Wu Shidao."

Yingying glanced at the princess and said, "The best ones have all been picked by you, Princess."

"......"

Hahaha

Wen Xingchen couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Furun sighed helplessly.

"Okay, you two can bully me."

"How dare I? If Princess could show even a little kindness, it would be enough for Yingying and her husband to enjoy for a lifetime."

Furun is generous and never hesitates to help when he can.

"Isn't the Autumn Examination coming up soon? Once he makes the list, I'll naturally make some plans for him. How about letting Yingying become an official's wife?"

"Okay, I'd like to thank Princess Furun first."

Wen Xingchen laughed and joked with her for a while, then went back.

Chen Mansion

night

It was already very late when Chen Jingting got off duty, and he was called away by Chen Jingye as soon as he arrived at the mansion.

In the study

"Brother, it's so late, why aren't you asleep?"

"waiting for you."

"Brother, is there something wrong?"

Chen Jingye told Chen Jingting everything that happened today. Chen Jingting listened silently, speechless for a moment.

"The princess's literary background wasn't built overnight. She's talented, yet she's often called a fool. Why is that? You've spent so much time with the princess, do you have any idea of ​​what's going on?"

Chen Jingting said, "Brother, you don't know that the head of the Wen family is a second wife, and the daughter of that second wife is not a good person. She always wants to suppress the princess."

"Are you saying that the princess is hiding her abilities because she's hiding them from her family? If that's the case, then why is she being so flamboyant now?"

"Of course it's because of me, your brother. Could it be because of someone else?"

Wen Jingye laughed after hearing this.

"If that's the case, then it's fine. But if it's something else, Fourth Brother, you need to think carefully about what your next move should be."

Chen Jingye was afraid that Wen Xingchen had other intentions towards the Chen family. If that was true, their Chen family would naturally not let her do whatever she wanted.

"Today, Teacher Liang proposed establishing a legitimate heir and a virtuous one. Tomorrow, he will undoubtedly press the princess to decide who she should appoint as the crown prince. The princess is favored by the emperor, and her words, though they won't affect the court, will not affect the political situation. However, she is your fiancée and the future Fourth Lady of the Chen family. Her every word and action represents the Chen family."

"If he says tomorrow that he wants to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin the Crown Prince, then our Chen family will inevitably be dragged into the Prince of Jin's faction, and it will be difficult to deal with it then."

Chen Jingting asked, "Brother, what do you need me to do?"

"Tomorrow, you stop the princess from going to the teahouse."

"it is good."

"You agreed so easily, are you sure you can stop it?"

"Give it a try."

The next morning

As soon as Wen Xingchen walked out, he saw someone standing outside the door.

Chen Jingting.

The slender figure stood motionless before the stone lions, his back to the gate. His black brocade robe accentuated his slender waist, and the slanting sunlight reflected his long sleeves. His hair was jet black, highlighting the poetic sheen of his pearly white neck beneath his bun. His back was straight, as if his slender, poplar-like figure contained immense, resilient strength. Before the majestic stone lions, he seemed like a superior, commanding with ease.

And as far as she knew, today was not his day off.

Why did he come?

Is it because of today's debate?

I think so. Chen Jingye went there yesterday, and he wrote the title himself.

"Princess, are we still going to the teahouse today?"

Yingying's voice attracted the people in front of the stone lion to look back.

The corners of his lips were raised, a beautiful arc, and his obsidian eyes were soft. He looked at her as if he was looking at a water lily that had been guarded for a thousand years before it bloomed. The sunlight around him was gentle.

Is he seducing herself?

Wen Xingchen suddenly thought so.

When he turned around, Wen Xingchen also saw a purse hanging around his waist, which was a star-shaped purse embroidered by her.

When Wen Xingchen saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He was pleasing himself, and it felt good.

"Brother Jingting, why are you here?"

"I took a day off today, so I came to see you."

Wen Xingchen walked down the stairs and walked happily to his side, as if running into a vortex of happiness.

"Princess, have you read what I wrote to you yesterday?"

When that was mentioned, Wen Xingchen frowned slightly and her smile faded a little.
