Chapter 29 Another Love Brain
Zhao Chengye had met Li Mingyue several times, and with his intelligence he could naturally tell that the girl liked him.
But for a handsome and popular man like him, he had seen so many admiring looks that he never took this ordinary girl seriously.
If Li Mingyue hadn't always walked with Jiang Wanqiu, he might not even have remembered this woman's name.
But I didn't expect this girl to be so bold. She is just the daughter of a fifth-rank minister, yet she dares to plan such a deadly thing.
She even dared to escape from King Xiao Yan's marriage. Did she think that her nine clans were living too comfortably?
Damn stupid woman, if you want to escape from marriage, can't you just do it yourself?
Why do you implicate me?
Now, not only has all of the Jiang family's dowry flown away, but you're also being hated by that damn eunuch. When I escape this disaster, I'll skin you alive.
Although Zhao Chengye hated the woman in bed in his heart, he could only suppress his hatred and force a smile for the sake of his next plan.
"Don't worry, mother. It's fate that has happened. Don't blame Mingyue. Take the people out first.
Let’s apply some medicine to Chunhong first, and we…we can discuss what to do.”
When the Duke's wife heard this, she wanted to refute immediately, but Zhao Chengye squeezed her hand fiercely.
"Mother, please go to the outer hall and take a rest first. I will teach you everything. We can talk later if there is anything else."
The mother and son have always had a tacit understanding. Knowing that her son was trying to trick her, the Duke's wife snorted coldly and shook off his hand.
"You are old enough, and your mother cannot make the decision for you. Since you are speaking for her, you can handle it yourself."
As she spoke, the Duke's wife stood up and left. A moment later, only Zhao Chengye and the infatuated Li Mingyue were left in the bridal chamber.
Zhao Chengye forced himself to walk to the bed, took Li Mingyue's hand and called her "Sister Mingyue".
Li Mingyue's face turned red immediately, and she lowered her head shyly and called out "Brother Chengye".
Zhao Chengye showed his disgust but didn't show it on his face. He reached out and pulled the man into his arms and said softly,
"I've always thought that Mingyue was lively, cute, innocent and naive, and I never thought that we would have such a fate.
only……
After all, Miss Jiang has been engaged to me since she was a child. Although I don't like her arrogance and domineering nature, I also pity her sincerity.
We are being unfair to her now.
Alas, I heard that Governor Xiao is not easy to talk to, and I don’t know how Miss Jiang is doing now.”
Li Mingyue was feeling sweet, but when she suddenly heard Zhao Chengye mention Jiang Xinyu, her face suddenly turned disgusted.
"Brother Chengye, why should you blame yourself? It is said that marriage is predestined by heaven. Since it didn't work out, it's because you two are not destined to be together.
Besides, she won't suffer any loss, and it won't be considered an insult to her by Governor Xiao's high position and power."
Li Mingyue cursed in her heart after she finished speaking.
Why can't she marry the one I marry? Isn't it just right for such a vicious person to be matched with the living King Yan?
Brother Chengye is so kind. He obviously doesn't like her but he still thinks about her in every way.
Zhao Chengye's heart was moved, "It's just... Miss Jiang has loved me for many years, how can she bear to suddenly marry someone else?
If we do something stupid, wouldn't we be sinners?
After all, you and I owe her."
Li Mingyue snorted coquettishly, "She wouldn't do that, it was obviously her..."
Zhao Chengye heard something behind Li Mingyue's words and asked quickly.
Li Mingyue was jealous and didn't want her husband to feel guilty and think about Jiang Xinyu all the time, so she told him about the other party's proposal of marriage exchange.
"Brother Chengye, don't blame yourself. Miss Jiang didn't marry you because she knew she couldn't have children and she was afraid that the Duke's wife would make things difficult for her in the future.
She also said that after she became the governor's wife, she could walk around the capital freely.
Life would be so much easier without having to serve my parents-in-law and sister-in-law.
It’s all my fault that I liked you too much and was bewitched by her and did something stupid.
"Will you blame me, Seungye brother?"
Zhao Chengye said he didn't care but he sneered in his heart. No wonder he felt that this matter was inharmonious in every way.
He said that Jiang Xinyu's wife has always been arrogant and domineering. If she doesn't take the initiative to cooperate, this matter will never be accomplished.
Even if one can make people dizzy in the sedan chair, the truth will be revealed as soon as the wedding ceremony begins. It is impossible for the whole night to remain quiet.
The Ningguo Mansion's status is not that high. If Xiao Yuan finds something wrong during the wedding ceremony, he will come to the door and make a scene.
Even if he was in the bridal chamber, he would be dragged out. It would be impossible for him to be so quiet without any sound.
Since the other party didn't come, he must be quite satisfied with his bride.
This would never have been accomplished without Jiang Xinyu's cooperation.
But he really couldn't understand Jiang Xinyu's train of thought.
The other party is obviously unreasonable but still loves him to death. Every time he says a few more words to others, she will make a big fuss.
That woman never thinks about others. Even if she herself is infertile, she will still dominate herself and will never push others to marry him.
Could it be that she knew about him and Lord Jiang's going to the mother-son camp?
That's not right either.
According to Jiang Xinyu's temper, if she really knew about this, she would definitely make a big fuss and come to the door. It is not her style to keep silent and take the initiative.
What went wrong?
It's a pity that Zhao Chengye hadn't seen Jiang Xinyu in the few days before the wedding, otherwise he would have obviously noticed that he was no longer in the other's eyes.
Without the premise that Jiang Xinyu loved him deeply, he couldn't figure out the connection even if he racked his brains.
But he was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. Since he couldn't figure this out, he quickly turned to the details of the marriage exchange and coaxed Li Mingyue into selling her mother's plan completely.
Afterwards, the silly girl smugly promised, "Don't worry, my husband. Jiang Xinyu said that eunuchs are the most greedy.
She will give half of her dowry to appease Governor Xiao so that he won't cause trouble for you.
Now both of us are happy, but the old lady seems to have some opinions about me, you have to help Mingyue to talk to her."
When Zhao Chengye heard about the dowry, he hated the idiot.
Who wouldn't covet Jiang Xinyu's huge dowry? It was originally in my pocket, but now it's all ruined by your plan.
And his late autumn.
If it weren't for Jiang Xinyu's dowry, his mother would never have agreed to let Wanqiu be his successor in the future. Now that the dowry is gone, his mother would never let Wanqiu marry him given her dowry.
Even if he gets through this hurdle today and Li Mingyue dies in the future, his mother will probably find him another wife with a rich dowry.
But now is not the time to break up with Li Mingyue, Zhao Chengye can only pat Li Mingyue's back soothingly and hold her tighter.
"Don't worry, Mingyue, mother is actually very kind, it's just that what happened today was too sudden so she was a little extreme.
I am the only son in the family. As long as I like you, she will figure it out sooner or later.
But mother hates lying the most. You should go and admit your mistake to her and explain the whole thing to her.
If mother knew that Jiang Xinyu couldn't have children and was eager for you to come home, she wouldn't be angry with you. "
Li Mingyue's eyes lit up after hearing this. She responded happily and planned to apologize to the Duke's wife.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and a maid came to report that Mrs. Li had come to the house.
