In her past life, Shen Yunxi was obsessed with marrying Jun Xuan. Fearing changes to their pact, she even destroyed her own reputation to secure the engagement.
However, after entering the pa...
The two talked for a long time, but Lin Chen remained standing in the same spot, unwilling to leave, even though he was injured.
Half an hour later, Shen Yunxi came over.
"Brother Lin, come back with me, I'll help you heal your wounds," Shen Yunxi said with a gentle smile.
Lin Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions. He was already very happy that Shen Yunxi had taken the initiative to invite him to heal his injuries. He didn't know what Shen Yunxi and Jun Xuan had talked about.
After Lin Chen had his wounds bandaged at the Shen family home, an imperial edict arrived from the palace, announcing the cancellation of the engagement between Shen Yunxi and Jun Xuan.
Happiness came somewhat suddenly, and Lin Chen didn't know what to do, so he could only stand there in a daze.
One month later...
Shen Yunxi and Lin Chen received an imperial decree from the Empress Dowager. The day before the decree, Shen Yunxi mentioned to Lin Chen that Jun Xuan had kissed her. She did not want to hide it from Lin Chen. If he cared about it, the decree would not be issued, and the Empress Dowager would respect her choice.
It's impossible for Lin Chen to be completely indifferent, but he understands and is even relieved, though he's definitely a little jealous.
However, even if she had only kissed him, he would not give up on her, even if she had actually entered Jun-hyun's harem.
There was no movement from Junxuan's side. He knew about the Empress Dowager's arranged marriage, but he did not stop it. His harem is still empty.
Upon receiving the imperial decree granting him the marriage, Lin Chen was still in a daze, quite puzzled.
"Yunxi, the Emperor is actually willing to let you go?"
“Indeed, I appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, and His Majesty decided to let it go,” Shen Yunxi said with a smile.
However, that was not the case. Instead, Shen Yunxi revealed that the little girl Junxuan met when he was young was her, and used this to ask Junxuan to break off the engagement.
Originally, Shen Yunxi wanted Junxuan to suffer terribly, but after discovering Lin Chen's unwavering love for her, she let go of everything and stopped wasting time on entanglement with Junxuan.
Junxuan was greatly shocked and finally agreed to Shen Yunxi's request. He had missed his chance with Shen Yunxi.
He was unwilling to hand over Shen Yunxi to Lin Chen, but he could only swallow his pain. This was the bitter fruit he had sown himself.
After the marriage between Shen Yunxi and Lin Chen was arranged, the Shen family underwent some changes.
Shen Leyi got married, and Shen Siqi got engaged. The biggest event was that Shen Chong divided the family property with his two brothers, which caused a huge uproar in the entire capital.
However, since everyone was prepared for the heavy atmosphere and knew the true colors of Madam Shen and the old Marquis, as well as that Shen Anyu's idiocy was due to the scheming of the Shen family's inner quarters, which was inextricably linked to the second and third branches of the family, no one said anything unpleasant.
During this process, Shen Yunxi finally learned why Ma Shi was hostile towards Lan Pei, and that Shen Anyu was pushed into the pool by her in the winter, which led to his current state.
When Lampe learned of this, she was devastated and lost her temper, slapping Ma several times.
It was for this reason that Ma explained why she treated Shen Anyu the way she did.
It turns out that Shen Xin had been secretly hiding someone all along, and that person was Lan Pei.
The younger brother-in-law coveted his sister-in-law, but dared not show it because of his elder brother's presence. It would be a laughing stock if word got out. However, Madam Ma discovered this on their wedding night when she heard Shen Xin call out Lan Pei's name.
Ma attacked Shen Anyu, and Qian delayed his treatment, thus ruining Shen Anyu's life.
Everyone says that family scandals should not be aired in public, so the old Marquis and Madam Shen could not say anything and could only let Shen Zhong divide the family property. After all, they were not completely innocent either; they knew some things but did not say them.
When Lan Pei learned of Shen Xin's feelings for her, she immediately felt very upset and disgusted. How could there be such a brother-in-law?
Fortunately, the second and third branches of the Shen family left the Marquis's residence.
As for the old Marquis and Madam Shen, Zhong Chen naturally did not drive them away. The household could afford to support two elderly people, which made Zhong Chen's family much more relaxed.
During the three-month wait, Shen Yunxi did not go out; she focused on embroidering her wedding dress at the Shen family home.
The day before her wedding, Shen Yunxi received a brocade box from the palace.
Upon opening it, she found a blank imperial edict stamped with a seal inside. She understood that this was a gift from Junxuan, and also a way out for her.
If Lin Chen betrays her in the future, this will be her protective charm.
Shen Yunxi didn't want to stay, but imperial edicts weren't something that could be returned casually, especially since the Imperial Household Department would definitely have a copy.
Little did he know that on this very day, Junxuan discovered that the person who assassinated Shen Yunxi was Lu Wanqing, and also learned that the Empress Dowager had deliberately said that the death of his mother, Consort Yun, was due to the Empress Dowager's jealousy.
Unfortunately, it was all too late; he owed Shen Yunxi a debt.
After a sleepless night, Shen Yunxi got up early; she was finally getting married with great joy.
Shen Yunxi was carried onto the bridal sedan chair by Shen Anyu, her face full of happiness and joy.
In this life, she is happier than in the last, and Lin Chen will never let her down.
