Chapter 1 Getting married from the start
“Let go!”
A cold and ruthless male voice rang in her ears.
Yuan Wanru opened her wet eyes, not knowing what day it was.
The stern-looking man was so close to her, his breath fanned her nose, and her hands were actually around his neck.
She had never been so close to a man before, so she hurriedly reached out to push him away and stepped back.
But when she stepped back, she realized that they were not standing on land, but floating in the water.
Caught off guard, she choked on the water several times. A feeling of suffocation spread from her lungs, and her whole body went limp.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes were full of impatience, but he still had to reach out and rescue her.
Yuan Wanru continued to choke and cough, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, and her throat was burning with pain.
Lu Jiangnian could still hear her soft but hoarse voice saying "uncomfortable..."
Summer clothes were thin, and now both of them were soaked, and as she coughed hard, he could clearly feel the curve of her body.
He whispered, "Stand still."
His voice was low and hoarse, yet clear and indifferent.
Yuan Wanru frowned and looked at him, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes due to her violent coughing.
The sunlight shone down, and the light reflected on her thick eyelashes. Lu Jiangnian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
A scream cut through the sky: "Ah, Miss Yuan, Master, what are you doing!"
-
After a while, Yuan Wanru changed into clean clothes and sat in the main room of Lingshuiju in a daze.
She figured it out. She was transported into a book she had read before and became the protagonist Lu Jiangnian's ex-wife - Yuan Wanru.
Her father was the personal guard of the loyal and brave Marquis Lu Song, and died tragically seven years ago while saving Lu Song.
The original owner's mother died early, and the Lu family felt sorry for her as an orphan, so they took her in to raise her.
However, the original owner had secretly developed feelings for Lu Jiangnian, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Taking advantage of the fact that she was rescued from the water, she asked Lu Jiangnian to marry her.
After becoming the wife of the eldest son of the Lu family, the original owner had an affair with others because she was not loved, and was even caught in bed, ending up miserably.
There is not much description of the original owner in the book. Most of the stories are about the male protagonist and the original female protagonist. Yuan Wanru does not have many related memories.
And she probably traveled through time to the plot point where someone had to jump into the water to force a marriage.
The woman with a serious expression and sitting at the head of the table was none other than Wang Min, wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
She was probably around forty years old, wearing a dark red coat, with a bun on her head and a red gold butterfly hairpin with pearls on her forehead. She had a gentle expression and a dignified and elegant temperament, which made people like her at first sight.
"Jiang Nian, what is going on?"
Lu Jiangnian changed into a dark-colored robe embroidered with cloud and bat patterns in gold thread. His handsome face was cold and indifferent: "You should ask her."
This incident was all caused by this woman. He just saved someone casually.
Wang Min cast a puzzled look at her. Yuan Wanru smiled bitterly in her heart. She didn't know how long she had been choking in the water. Her throat was sore that she could hardly speak.
She said with difficulty: "Aunt...Min..., don't...blame...Brother...Lu, he..." just wanted to save me.
The voice was extremely hoarse and the volume was weak and small. Not to mention others, even Yuan Wanru herself felt uncomfortable listening to it.
No, I must not force the male protagonist to marry me again in this life, otherwise I will only face a tragic ending.
After just a few words, she felt a burning pain in her throat and couldn't help coughing again.
Madam Pang, the original owner's wet nurse, looked at Yuan Wanru distressedly, then knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Min: "Madam, the young lady is speechless at the moment, please don't ask."
"Anyway, everyone saw what happened to the young lady and the young master in the water just now..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiangnian subconsciously looked at Yuan Wanru, wanting to know what her expression was.
But she was seen holding her chest, looking extremely uncomfortable.
She coughed so much that the corners of her eyes turned red, and there was a hint of pity in her sparkling eyes.
As if she noticed his gaze, she turned her head and looked over, her brows furrowed, her red lips bitten, and a look of confusion in her eyes.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he sneered in his heart, isn't this exactly the purpose of her plan?
Wang Min raised Yuan Wanru for so many years and truly loved her.
She knew that nothing really happened between Jiang Nian and Wanru, but this incident had damaged Wanru's reputation and made it difficult for her to get married.
"Jiang Nian, what do you think?"
Lu Jiangnian stated indifferently, "I was hosting a banquet at the waterside pavilion today. Everyone in the mansion knows that my clothes got wet during the banquet. I was walking back to Lingshuiju from the Green Bamboo Path and passed by Wangzhu Lake to save her."
His eyes suddenly shot towards Yuan Wanru with a cold light: "You live in Momei Pavilion to the west of the mansion, and Lingshuiju and Wangzhu Lake are both to the east. Why are you here?"
Wang Min looked at Yuan Wanru gloomily, but couldn't open his mouth to ask.
Wanru is usually quiet and sensitive. What if I stimulate her and force her to take a desperate path?
Meeting Wang Min's cautious gaze, Yuan Wanru lowered her head and twisted her pair of white and tender jade-like hands.
This is not her fault, it's the original owner's fault...
She didn't know how to explain it, and Aunt Pang was already crying and wailing: "What does the eldest master mean? Do you think our girl fell into the water on purpose? How could she calculate when you passed by there!"
Aunt Pang hugged Yuan Wanru and cried breathlessly, "You lost your mother when you were young, and you lost your father when you were very young. Your life is so hard!"
Wang Min frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Lu Jiangnian has lived in the military camp with his father for many years. He is a man of his word and has a cold and tough personality.
What's more, he is the prince of the mansion and the hope of the whole family.
Men and women should not touch each other, so there must be an explanation for today's matter, but his marriage is of great importance, so she can't just agree to it casually.
Lu Jiangnian stood up slowly, his tall figure was slender, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and his handsome face exuded a cold and abstinent aura, "If you can't find someone to marry in the capital, then go to other places."
"Don't try to control me. I won't marry her because of this."
The strong summer sun shone through the carved windows. The bright light made his face full of masculinity. His maturity and arrogance were combined with the youthful vigor and unruliness, which complemented each other.
Yuan Wanru spoke loudly towards Lu Jiangnian, word by word: "Yes...there...is...no...necessary. Nothing...happened...to us." Let it go. I will leave the capital.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, the door suddenly opened.
A middle-aged man with a strong physique and thick eyebrows walked in.
The person who came was Lu Song, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
He glanced around sharply, and finally landed on Lu Jiangnian: "Wanru is a good child. Before her father passed away, he had already arranged a marriage between you two with me."
"June 26th is an auspicious day, you two can get married."
ah!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples. No one expected that Lu Song would say such a thing.
engagement?
When was the engagement?
The original book didn't seem to describe this in detail? It just said that the two got married after they fell into the water.
Why didn't I force them to get married, or even stop it all, but things still ended up ending up with them getting married?
Moreover, today is already June 22nd. In three days, they will be getting married?!
