At the end of October, Xue Huai'an and Chen Yirou got married. Almost the entire capital knew about the marriage, not because Xue Huai'an gave a generous dowry, nor because Chen Yirou's dowry was so shocking, but simply because of the rumors that had circulated about the two of them before.
"From mistress to wife" is a really disgraceful way of putting it.
Many people think this is a good thing; it's best for scumbags and bitches to stick together and not harm others.
Qin Su sat by the window of the Moon Ascension Tower, taking in the long wedding procession below.
There were even mocking nursery rhymes on the street, which practically trampled Xue Huai'an and Chen Yirou's dignity into the ground and crushed it with their feet.
"What's so interesting about them?" Yu Shuo pulled her hand and drew her back into his arms with an unhappy expression.
Even now, Yu Shuo still doesn't like Xue Huai'an, the man who once possessed his wife's entire heart.
"I think it looks pretty good." Qin Su took the initiative. She really liked Yu Shuo's hands. His hands were big, with distinct knuckles, and his skin was fair but healthy, giving him a very strong look.
She sighed, "Time flies so fast."
When she was first reborn, she was filled with hatred and even thought she would never consider getting married in this life. But now she has someone by her side, and Xue Huai'an's fate is completely different from that of her previous life.
He married Chen Yirou this year.
Yu Shuo was unaware of Qin Su's thoughts, but he also felt that time was passing quickly, and the time he spent with her went by too fast.
Although Qin Su said it looked good, she didn't go to the window to watch the wedding procession.
She could almost foresee Xue Huai'an's married life. Chen Yirou could not provide him with any help in his official career, and coupled with her weak and scheming personality, things would definitely turn out chaotically.
"If you want to see it, go to the Duke's mansion?" Yu Shuo was indeed dissatisfied, but he couldn't resist Qin Su's desire to see it, so he thought he could put up with it.
Anyway, Xue Huai'an is already married, so he doesn't have much of a deterrent effect.
"I'm not watching anymore. My Tzuyu is prettier." Qin Su hugged Yu Shuo's neck and leaned in to kiss the corner of his mouth.
Even though she didn't verbally express her love for Yu Shuo, her actions were very intimate.
Yu Shuo protected her stomach, afraid that she might bump into something if she moved too much.
He was quite pleased with Qin Su's words, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. He put his hand under Qin Su's knees and said, "Then let's go back to the palace."
Qin Su nodded and told Lian Tao to go to the Marquis's residence to pack her things and return to the Prince's residence.
...
“Madam, the son-in-law has arrived,” Yinghong whispered to Chen Yirou.
Chen Yirou, with a smile on her face beneath the veil, was still very nervous even though the two had already been intimate.
After Xue Huai'an entered, he lifted the veil according to procedure, drank the nuptial wine, and then turned and left.
After the veil was lifted, Chen Yirou noticed that Xue Huai'an's expression was off, but she thought that today was her wedding day after all, and she couldn't throw a tantrum, so she remained gentle and kind.
But Xue Huai'an actually turned around and left. How could that be?
She immediately grabbed Xue Huai'an's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Husband, where are you going?"
Xue Huai'an pulled his sleeve back and said, "I still have official business to attend to. You should get some rest."
Chen Yirou stepped forward and hugged Xue Huai'an's waist, her soft body pressed against him. "Don't go. Today is our wedding day. You can't leave. You can't leave me alone."
Xue Huai'an's voice held no affection or tenderness, only coldness: "Do we still need a wedding night? Let go."
"Are you blaming me? Huai'an, are you blaming me?" Chen Yirou could hardly believe her ears.
Although she did seduce him at the villa, he could have easily pushed her away if he didn't want to.
Why is it all her fault now?
"Are you disgusted with me?"
Xue Huai'an didn't want to talk to Chen Yirou. Everything was out of his control, which made him subconsciously irritable. He had no time to deal with Chen Yirou.
Seeing her newlywed husband about to leave the room, Chen Yirou loudly questioned, "Do you like Qin Su?"
Xue Huai'an stopped abruptly. Just when Chen Yirou thought she had hit the nail on the head, she saw Xue Huai'an turn to look at her with a chilling gaze.
She instinctively shivered.
"I...I..." she stammered, unable to speak.
Xue Huai'an said coldly, "Watch your words. Qin Su is the Princess Consort of Chen. If you don't want to bring trouble to the Duke's mansion, then be careful with your words and actions."
He still left.
But those cold and intimidating eyes were deeply imprinted in Chen Yirou's heart. After a long while, she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Xue Huai'an did not return to his study; instead, he grabbed a pot of wine and jumped onto the roof.
Chen Yirou's question resurfaced in his mind.
"Do you like Qin Su?"
At that moment, he questioned his own heart.
When no answer came to him, he dismissed the thought, pulled out the cork, and took a big gulp of sake.
He faced the direction of Prince Chen's residence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, Xue Huai'an suddenly sat up on the roof, his handsome, fair face turning deathly pale.
For some reason, he suddenly jumped off the roof and ran quickly towards the new house.
He saw the back of the woman who was already washing up inside the house, and quickly grabbed her wrist, but when he saw her face, the spark in his eyes was completely extinguished.
It wasn't her.
Why not her?
In my dream, she was always his wife after marrying him.
"Husband?" Chen Yirou asked tentatively.
She had thought it through. She was bound to follow her husband wherever he went, and she would definitely have to please Xue Huai'an in the future; she couldn't hold a grudge about what happened last night.
"Why you?"
Xue Huai'an questioned Chen Yirou in a daze.
Chen Yirou was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and her expression instantly turned ugly.
"Who else could I be? Who does my husband think I am?!" Her voice was somewhat shrill, but more so filled with sorrow.
Why did this happen even though she finally married him as she wished?
This is not what she wanted.
Xue Huai'an pushed the door open and ran back to his study. He slumped onto the edge of the bed, letting his body slide to the floor.
The scenes in my dream felt so real.
Everything that happened between him and Qin Su after their marriage—he mistreated her, never even entering her room—but she always treated him very well, doing her best to help him in his official career, and keeping the household in perfect order.
She is so good.
Why? Why did everything change when I woke up?
This shouldn't be happening!
For some reason, Xue Huai'an felt that everything happening before his eyes was fake, and that only his dream was real.
There was no Prince Chen in my dream; in my dream, Qin Su was his wife.
He slapped his head in despair, unable to accept what was happening before him.
...
Qin Su was unaware of what was happening here. Perhaps in the past, if she had known, she would have laughed maniacally. Now, even if she knew, she would only make a few sarcastic remarks before returning to the palace to continue her pregnancy.
She wanted to ensure that her daughter would be born healthy and lively.
