Chapter 88 Marrying Xie Jingci as a Consort
Noticing the gazes of the people around him, Xie Jingci felt extremely wronged.
He met He Wan'er's gaze with a distant look: "...Miss, do you recognize me?"
He really didn't remember He Wan'er.
Now that he saw her face to face, he was even more convinced.
I really don’t know him.
"Thank you, General. Long time no see!"
Minister He's hair and beard were all white, but he looked energetic. He stood up and bowed to Xie Jingci.
Xie Jingci was still "disabled" at the moment, so he just nodded to Minister He and said, "I greet you, Lord He."
Minister He quickly asked someone to look for a seat.
He Wan'er's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Xie Jingci's miserable appearance.
Is this still the tall and handsome war god general in her memory?
It was actually tortured into this state!
She felt so distressed.
Xie Jingci got straight to the point: "Master He, I am a criminal. You have come here to see me. I am afraid that your integrity will be lost in your later years."
Before Minister He resigned, Xie Jingci was still fighting on the border.
The two of them had little in common at all.
Minister He smiled, but turned his gaze to Lu Wanyin: "This, is my wife?"
Xie Jingci nodded: "Not bad."
Lu Wanyin also greeted Minister He with a smile.
Minister He looked at Lu Wanyin and said, "I heard that Madam was imprisoned on her wedding night and exiled thousands of miles with her husband. She is a woman of integrity and loyalty."
There must be something wrong if you start flattering others right away.
Lu Wanyin refused to accept the compliment: "It has nothing to do with whether I am strong-willed or not. I wouldn't dare to disobey His Majesty's order even if I had ten guts."
Minister He smiled and said, "That's wrong. Since the young lady is from the Chenyang Marquis's Mansion, it shouldn't be difficult for her to escape from it."
Lu Wanyin replied, "You are joking, my Lord Shangshu. Everyone knows that I am a concubine's daughter. If anything happens to me, the Chenyang Marquis's Mansion will disown me, and there is no way they will rescue me."
After her experience in the apocalypse, she could no longer get used to this way of speaking, where people didn't say things directly but instead exchanged hints.
She even wanted to say directly, "If you have to fart, do it quickly."
Minister He stroked his beard and said, "I see."
Xie Jingci, who was standing by, asked what Lu Wanyin wanted to ask: "What can I do for you, Lord Shangshu? Why don't you just tell me?"
Minister He laughed dryly twice before pulling He Wan'er to him and saying, "General, what do you think of my Wan'er?"
You guessed it right.
This made Lu Wanyin very disappointed.
After much difficulty, a cute little girl emerged from the exile, and she turned out to be a love-brained person.
He Wan'er looked at Xie Jingci shyly: "Brother Jingci, don't you remember me? Five years ago, I went to Nanshan Temple with my mother to pay homage. The maid startled the horse, and you saved me."
It’s indeed the hero-saving-beauty routine.
Xie Jingci frowned and shook his head in the face of He Wan'er's expectant gaze: "I don't remember."
The light in He Wan'er's eyes suddenly dimmed.
She said hurriedly: "But I always remember myself, I... I think..."
He Wan'er bit her lip and couldn't continue speaking. She looked at Minister He shyly.
Minister He understood and continued, "Thank you, General. We all trust you and know you were wronged."
Xie Jingci said indifferently: "Thank you, Minister He."
"Wan'er has been thinking about you ever since we met five years ago. I am an old man and I only have this one granddaughter, and I have always treated her like the apple of my eye."
Minister He paused and glanced at Lu Wanyin: "I will lower my dignity today and ask for a marriage for her."
He Wan'er was so embarrassed that she immediately turned her back.
Xie Jingci's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Wanyin beside him.
Lu Wanyin was very calm, as she had vaguely guessed it a long time ago.
But she couldn't believe that a Shangshu would do such a degrading thing.
Now it seems that Minister He really dotes on He Wan'er.
Xie Jingci no longer wanted to flatter him.
He refused sternly, "Master He, I already have a wife!"
Minister He, however, was unconcerned: "It is perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Wan'er is the legitimate granddaughter of the He family, so she cannot be a concubine. She should be a co-wife."
Lu Wanyin looked at Minister He sarcastically.
Since He Wan'er is a legitimate daughter, she is more noble than a concubine's daughter.
Lu Wanyin doesn't care about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
But since she was being bullied right in front of her, she couldn't just sit there and keep silent.
Just as Lu Wanyin was about to speak, Xie Jingci sneered in response.
"Master He, I will only have Wanyin as my wife in this life! I will not take a concubine, let alone any other wives."
Xie Jingci's voice grew colder and harder, showing no mercy to the grandfather and grandson: "If there is nothing else, please go back!"
Minister He was stunned.
Originally, when He Wan'er insisted on marrying Xie Jingci, the useless man, he refused to agree no matter what.
No matter how capable Xie Jingci was in the past, he is now a criminal who will be exiled.
If He Wan'er marries him, she will have to go to the wilderness with him.
He was extremely reluctant to do so.
If He Wan'er hadn't gone on a hunger strike to force him, he would never have agreed to this marriage!
Now that he had come to propose in person, Xie Jingci had actually rejected him so ungratefully!
Minister He's face turned cold: "General Xie, do you think that my He family will decline after I retire from the court?"
"What if it's in decline? What if it's in prosperity?"
Xie Jingci said, "I won't marry you. Even if you hold a knife to my neck and threaten me, I will give the same answer."
Xie Jing said firmly: "No, marry!"
He Wan'er burst into tears immediately and ran away, covering her face.
"Wan'er!"
Minister He hurriedly got up and chased after him.
He took two steps and stopped again.
He looked at Xie Jingci with disdain: "Originally, I had planned to find a miracle doctor to treat you after we got married. Even if we were to be in the wilderness, my He family would be able to help you a lot and help you make a comeback!"
As he spoke, Minister He threw his sleeves in humiliation and anger: "Since you are so ungrateful, then forget it!"
"Wan'er! Wait for Grandpa!"
The hall was finally quiet.
"Why do I feel that Mr. He is quite sincere? He has been an official for many years. Even if he has retired, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Don't you know what, it's really a good marriage."
Lu Wanyin shrugged: "What a pity, such a good opportunity was ruined by you."
Looking at her indifferent look, Xie Jingci felt inexplicably lost.
Is she really not jealous at all?
Xie Jingci ignored the sudden panic in his heart and looked into Lu Wanyin's eyes: "Having you is enough for me."
Lu Wanyin smiled and said, "You don't need to explain. I said I would trust you, and I will definitely trust you. I am very satisfied with your attitude just now."
Xie Jingci raised the corners of his lips slightly, and the slight sense of loss he had just felt disappeared when he heard Lu Wanyin's word "satisfied".
He whispered, "As long as you are satisfied."
Lu Wanyin changed the subject: "But the He family has bullied me so much, I can't stand it. Tonight I will let them know that some concubines' daughters are not to be messed with."
Xie Jingci understood immediately.
He curled his lips silently.
This vindictive nature is exactly what his wife should be like!
