Chapter 373: Game within a Game
Lu Yuntang searched the backyard but couldn't find Chen Nanhuai. She had clearly made an appointment with Chen Nanhuai to meet under the locust tree in the back mountain, so why did he break the appointment?
The maids around her had all been replaced, and Lu Yuntang had no way to ask them for help, so she could only go to Chen Nanhuai herself. When she went up the mountain, she deliberately looked outside the temple. She saw Chen Nanhuai's carriage, and she recognized the carriage that Chen Nanhuai rode in when he traveled.
"Did he break his promise?" Lu Yuntang was a little disappointed. She just wanted to get an explanation, so was Chen Nanhuai going to avoid her? Lu Yuntang was feeling sad when she suddenly heard a familiar man's voice coming from the other side of the room.
"Sister Li'er, don't worry. Miss Lu San is not the Lu family's biological daughter. Even if mother wants me to marry her, I will marry you as my co-wife."
Lu Yuntang was struck by lightning.
What, co-wife?
How outrageous!
She walked over quickly and heard another gentle voice, "The third young lady is the Regent's sister. She has been spoiled since she was a child. Even if she is not her biological daughter, she is an adopted daughter. Madam Lu and the Regent have loved her since she was a child. If they really want me to be their equal wife, I don't want to be a concubine."
"She loves me and would rather go against her mother. She's gentle and easy to deceive. If she dares to block you from entering, I'll ignore her and let her stay in the house as a decoration. A daughter who's married off is like spilled water. Besides, she's not the Lu family's biological daughter. How can the Regent support her?" Chen Nanhuai said, "Mother said that even if she's an adopted daughter, she'll still be doted on. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to marry her. Li'er, don't worry. I won't let you down."
Outside the door, Lu Yuntang was in tears.
My sister-in-law said that Chen Nanhuai was not a good man. She defended him and felt that she knew Chen Nanhuai better. He was a gentle, tolerant, and loyal man.
He has always been polite to her, why?
It turned out that everything was a lie to her. Her sister-in-law was right. He had no responsibility at all and was just after her identity. If she was not the regent's sister, Chen Nanhuai would not have gone to such great lengths to get close to her.
What she thought was love was nothing but a deception.
"Third Miss, why are you crying?" Li Yue said softly, "He's just a stinky man. You are of noble status, and you can't find any man you want. Don't hang yourself on him."
"Sister Li Yue, I was stupid and was deceived by him. I admit it, but I am not someone who can be bullied." Lu Yuntang seemed to suddenly wake up. "Since they are having an affair, I will make them guilty. He wants to marry her as his co-wife, and I will let him get what he wants in advance."
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Okay, girl, leave it to me."
Li Yue took out a stick of incense from her arms and asked the third girl to stand back. She poked a hole in the window and lit the incense, and the fragrance filled the room.
After a while, the third girl heard the moaning. After all, she was an unmarried girl, so she blushed, covered her ears, and turned away.
Li Yue smiled. This was the girl from the Lu family, the prince's sister. It didn't matter if she was deceived when she first fell in love. She would be very clear-headed after she came to her senses.
That’s great!
Chen Nanhuai and a concubine of the Li family were caught having an affair in a sacred Buddhist place by a young monk. The young monk was furious and reported it to the abbot. The abbot brought people to investigate and found that the two were making love in a side room.
It wasn't just Su Qingwan who came to Hanshan Temple to pray today. There were also several noble ladies and girls, all of whom watched this scandal. When Chen Nanhuai was embarrassedly driven out of the temple, he saw Lu Yuntang standing beside the palace carriage with a cold expression.
Lu Yuntang felt it was dirty to even look at him any longer, so he got into the car and drove away.
Chen Nanhuai, "It's over, it's all over!"
