Chapter 270: A Strategy to Benefit Oneself at the Cost of Others



As expected, after the Wuxing Marquis' Mansion learned the truth, they only allowed the Marquis' wife to come to the Tie Mansion for a "visit" once.

From then on, Xu Jiaran completely became Xu Jiachu, in exchange for his aunt and sister being able to live a stable life in the uncle's mansion.

In fact, on the third day after the wedding, Tie Dongming, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was secretly sent back to the Tie Mansion.

And he lived in the dark room of the study, but no one knew it.

The study is cleaned every other day, and each time takes about half an hour. Tie Dongrui hid very well, and the maid who cleaned the study never noticed anything unusual.

But just when he relaxed his vigilance a little, the sensitive and careful Xu Jiaran discovered a clue.

When they met for the first time, they stared at each other. Xu Jiaran said he was Xu Jiachu, but Tie Dongrui had a good memory.

He had seen his fiancée before, and although the two of them were three or four points similar, he was sure that they were definitely not the same person.

As the saying goes, like son, like father. Tie Dongrui is just as flawed as Tie Zhu.

How could he know what it meant to be gentle and considerate to women? At that time, his mind was full of conspiracy theories and he didn't hold back at all.

When Xu Jiaran was restrained by the man, she felt difficulty breathing.

Don't get me wrong, it's not some beautiful encounter, it's just that someone has simply strangled her fate and she can hardly breathe.

Seeing that her life was in danger, Xu Jiaran didn't care about anything else. He patted the big hand on her neck, indicating that she should confess and seek leniency.

Tie Dongrui let go of his hand and after hearing the whole story, he felt angry at first, but then felt sorry for the girl.

What makes me angry is that the problem could have been solved by calling off the engagement, but they chose to resort to the substitution marriage.

Unfortunately, Xu Jiaran was plotted against when she was only seventeen years old. The fate of her aunt and sister was in the hands of the uncle's family, and she had no way to resist.

Many relationships start with pity, and these two are no exception.

As for the Wuxing Earl’s Mansion, no one noticed Xu Jiaran’s disappearance at first.

It was not until after the wedding that the maid discovered something was wrong and told her aunt about it.

Staying out overnight is a big taboo, especially for an unengaged girl.

The aunt dragged her sick body to seek help from the lady of the earl, but was naturally evaded because the lady of the earl was an accomplice and would only try her best to suppress the matter.

There was no groom and no return gift, so the matter could be kept secret for five days. Finally, it could no longer be concealed, so Mrs. Bo told her husband the truth tremblingly.

Mrs. Bo still remembers the murderous look in Wu Xingbo's eyes.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in pursuing the matter further. We can only let it go.

But unexpectedly, Tie Dongming miraculously came back three months after his disappearance. It was said that he was injured and needed to rest, so he did not see any outsiders.

Now it was Wu Xingbo's turn to panic. If she was really a widow, it would be fine, but the real owner had returned. What if the secret was exposed and the matter was brought to the attention of the emperor? Wouldn't Wu Xingbo's mansion be guilty of deceiving the emperor?

As if it weren't bad enough, the ship was late and encountered headwinds. Xu Jiachu was not only dying, but also causing endless troubles.

Wu Xingbo just wanted to kill people before, but this time he really wants to clean up the house.

Not to mention Wu Xingbo, even Gao Hong, who was always carefree, fell silent.

In just these two short months, my cousin not only kept in touch with Ye Zheng, but also lent him money.

Ye Zheng was also disappointing. He was actually greedy. He had to get a double insurance for the autumn examination, which he originally had a 70% chance of passing.

He took money to buy the examination papers for the Autumn Examination, but it turned out that the person was a liar. He cheated more than 20 people and made a profit of nearly 4,000 taels.

It didn't matter that the scammer was put in jail. Under the iron-blooded tactics of the interrogators, he gave out the names of all the people who had bought the test questions.

From the moment he got the test paper, Ye Zheng knew that he had been cheated. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to give it his all.

The result was unexpected. He actually got the title of Juren with the last place score.

He thought that he had only lost two hundred taels of silver. Anyway, he had gained fame and honor, and then he could go to Xu Jiachu's house to ask for her hand in marriage.

As expected, when Xu Jiachu and Ye Zheng agreed to meet at the theater gate, they were caught on the spot by the police.

If Gao Hong had not arrived in time, the constable would have almost taken Xu Jiachu away for questioning.

If the young lady of the Bo family entered the Jingzhao government office and this were to get out, the Bo family would have to be cleaned up.

Xu Jiachu was quite frightened, but this time he finally calmed down and didn't want to run away.

After Tie Dongrui officially debuted, the old emperor promoted him from the fourth rank to the third rank, and the Tie Mansion returned to its former bustle.

But the truth cannot be hidden, and Xu Jiaran's identity remains a problem.

At that time, the two of them had already developed feelings for each other and it was impossible for them to separate, so they needed to face the problem and solve it.

After the old man and the old lady knew the truth, they were immediately furious. The concubine's daughter of the marquis's family was also one with a bad reputation. The marquis of Wuxing was really going too far.

The old couple went to the uncle's house to argue, and happened to meet Wu Xingbo who was worried about his daughter. When he saw the two people who came to accuse him, an idea flashed in his mind, and he came up with a good way to harm others and benefit himself.

Since there are flaws in the performance of the marriage contract, then make up for the flaws.

The best solution is to change the identities of the two sisters back. If the Tie family does not want to let them go, then they can keep the concubine, but at least give her the status of a concubine.

In short, the bottom line is that we must maintain our dignity no matter what.

Han Zeyu couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next? Did Xu Jiachu really marry him?"

Tie Dongming nodded, took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "You did marry me, but you married me."

Han Zeyu suddenly realized who was the one being exploited. It turned out to be Tie Dongming, who was only 18 years old at the time.

As expected, art comes from life, but is higher than life. What a wonderful, full of elements, and most bloody drama of the year.

Not good, his inspiration is about to overflow, he needs to suppress it.

Tie Dongming was puzzled: "Brother Han, why do you look like that?"

Han Zeyu was heartbroken: "I feel sorry for Tiezhu, poor child."

Tie Dongming was speechless, thinking to himself, "I haven't even talked about Tiezhu's life story yet! Apparently, I'm the most miserable person in this story right now, right?

Han Zeyu thought to himself, it must be you!

I wanted to laugh, but I was too embarrassed to do so because the person involved was present!

"Excuse me, you and your wife..."

Tie Dongming thought to himself, "How presumptuous of you!" and quickly interrupted, "That's another story, and it has nothing to do with Tie Zhu's life experience."

Han Zeyu sighed and said, "That's such a pity."

Tie Dongming was speechless...
