A young woman in her prime, dressed in a red wedding gown, stood before him with a composed demeanor.
The wedding dress was as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. The embroidered patterns were made of fine gold and silver threads. The hem of the dress was inlaid with several huge pearls and gemstone beads, each of which was transparent and glittering. It was magnificent and luxurious.
But even such a dazzling wedding dress could not match her beauty.
The woman was not wearing a crown, her black hair cascading down like an ink waterfall, her small face was the size of a palm, and her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling.
Her rosy complexion, green eyebrows, apricot cheeks and rosy face, and the flickering light of the red candle added a touch of charm to her beauty.
Just as the saying goes, beauty is at its best after a rain, and grace is at its best when it is about to bloom.
At this moment, the bride standing in front of him was like a crabapple bud about to bloom, delicate and beautiful, swaying gracefully.
Xiao Huaihe was amazed and sighed in his heart: Su Wanti is really a beauty, but it's a pity that she is too domineering and arrogant. She is not as good as Hua'er who is gentle, obedient and considerate.
Hey! How can I compare her with Huaer? With her vulgar behavior, she can't even compare to Huaer's toes.
Yes! She can’t even compare to Hua’er’s toes… Hua’er’s toes… toes… hehe.
Su Wanti watched Xiao Huaihe's expression change from surprise to disgust and then to distraction and confusion.
She frowned, thinking, isn't this guy a fool?
"System, what is he thinking? Why is his expression so rich?"
[Host, he thinks that although you are pretty, you are not as good as Su Ruo's painting. He thinks you are not even as good as Su Ruo's toes. He thinks Su Ruo's toes are round and cute like pearls, and he can't touch them enough...]
"Ugh!" After knowing Xiao Huaihe's inner thoughts, Su Wanti almost vomited.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you keep talking, I'm going to have a nightmare. It turns out this guy isn't a fool, he's a pervert."
Comparing the original owner, a kind and innocent person, with her two-faced and vicious half-sister is simply an insult to the original owner!
Moreover, what he thought was insulting to me!
Su Wanti looked Xiao Huaihe up and down with a distant look in her eyes and went straight to the point.
"Did the young marquis come from my concubine sister Su Ruohua?"
Xiao Huaihe was startled and blurted out: "How did you know?"
Su Wanti sneered, "Young Marquis, do you know that my concubine's sister has left the house for many days without permission? She eloped with someone."
"You, you are talking nonsense! Hua'er is not a person who does not abide by the rules!" Xiao Huaihe's eyebrows jumped and he retorted in panic.
Su Wanti raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile on her lips. She opened her eyes slightly wide, pretending to be surprised. She covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God! Why is the young marquis so excited? Could it be that the man who eloped with my concubine sister is you?"
After saying that, she looked up and down at Xiao Huaihe with a hint of disgust in her clear eyes, seeing straight into his heart.
Xiao Huaihe felt a little guilty.
He also knew that unmediated adultery was unacceptable under the law and would be a scandal if it were to become known.
He had secretly brought Su Ruohua back to the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago, intending to send her back to the Earl's Mansion as soon as possible, but that little enchantress Su Ruohua was too charming, making him unable to resist...
Xiao Huaihe thought he had concealed the secret well, but he didn't expect that Su Wanti would directly tell the secret in front of many servants. His face turned red and white, and he became angry and embarrassed.
So he put on a cold face and looked disgusted and irritable, just like in his previous life.
"Su Wanti, stop talking nonsense!"
"Don't think that just because you are the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Yong'an, you can show off in our Marquis' Mansion and act superior. No matter how noble the Earl's Mansion is, it cannot be higher than the Marquis' Mansion."
"Put aside your arrogant and conceited behavior at the Earl's Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion will not tolerate you!"
"Puchi" Hearing this, Su Wanti couldn't help laughing out loud.
What this person said was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Su Wanti's smile was full of mockery and disapproval, which deeply hurt Xiao Huaihe's fragile nerves.
He knew that this marriage was a marriage of high status. The Earl's Mansion was only of a lower title than the Marquis' Mansion. Whether it was the trust and reliance of the emperor or the merits and achievements of three generations, they were better than their Earl's Mansion of Ji'an.
If we were to say which ministers the current emperor trusts the most, they would be none other than the Su father and son.
Yongning Earl Su served as the Salt Inspector of the Inspectorate, in charge of the national salt affairs and directly responsible to the emperor.
Su Shaoxuan, the eldest son of the Su family, was young and promising, brave and good at fighting. At the age of 23, he was named a brave general by the emperor and commanded the three armies.
The Marquis of Ji'an's Mansion had been an empty title for many years until he won the third place in the imperial examination, and then the mansion began to improve.
He was afraid that Su Wanti would look down on him, so he deliberately made her wait and accused her without knowing right or wrong, just to give her a warning, to kill her arrogance in advance, to make her feel uneasy in front of him and not dare to look down on him.
But Su Wanti's smile just now was like a needle, which easily pierced his disguise, deflated him, and turned him back to his original appearance.
He was furious, his brows furrowed in a knot. He pointed at Su Wanti and couldn't utter a complete sentence: "You...you...Hua'er is right. You are arrogant and lawless. You are not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion!"
Su Wanti remained calm and sneered, "Then let's get divorced!"
"Hiss——" everyone gasped.
The bride who just got married wants to divorce, this is too exciting!
Everyone lowered their heads, looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, not daring to make a sound, but their ears were perked up, for fear of missing a single word.
Xiao Huaihe was young and hot-tempered after all, and when Su Wanti provoked him, he angrily said, "Divorce if you want! Who's afraid of who?"
Su Wanti smiled secretly in her heart, and quickly found the four treasures of the study in her dowry.
His fingers flew as he ground the paper, spread it out, and started writing. In the time it took to burn an incense stick, the divorce letter was finished.
She wrote her name "Su Wanti" in the woman's signature space, and then handed the divorce papers to Xiao Huaihe.
"I'll give you two copies of the divorce agreement. I'll return the betrothal gifts to you, and I'll take the dowry. From now on, we can part ways and live happily ever after. How do you do that?"
As long as he signs this divorce agreement, she will be free!
Su Wanti was delighted.
Xiao Huaihe took the divorce letter with a complicated expression, then took the brush, but hesitated when he was about to write.
This marriage was personally arranged by his father. Before the marriage, his father gave him many instructions, asking him to take good care of his health. He also sent away all his concubines, asking him to conserve his energy and make sure Su Wanti got pregnant as soon as possible.
My father also said that this was a major event concerning the fate of the Xiao family.
No, I can't divorce her!
Xiao Huaihe was reluctant to put pen to paper. The brush dipped in ink paused on the paper, and a drop of ink fell, forming a black dot the size of a bean on the paper.
He simply threw down his pen and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Who wants to divorce right after getting married? You have no shame. Our mansion cannot tolerate your nonsense!"
Su Wanti was eagerly waiting for his signature, but when she saw him go back on his word, her happy heart was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water.
I was so angry!
"You really don't want to sign?" Su Wanti was extremely angry. She clenched her fists so tightly that they made crackling sounds. She approached Xiao Huaihe step by step with a sullen face.
