Chapter 3 Convincing Li Mingyue
Jiang Wanqiu was still coaxing Li Mingyue. Although this girl had the misfortune of marrying a eunuch, the eunuch was powerful and influential.
Jiang Xinyu is still as stupid as ever. She has offended Mingyue so much. As long as Governor Xiao tells Duke Ning a message, she will be in trouble.
Jiang Xinyu started thinking about the exchange of relatives, and then sat down next to Li Mingyue and pushed Jiang Wanqiu aside.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault, I'll apologize to you, alright!
Stop crying. Your wedding is in two days. It's so embarrassing to have your eyes swollen like a toad.
Haven’t you always liked my butterfly walk? Can I give it to you?"
Li Mingyue didn't expect Jiang Xinyu to apologize to her, but she still snorted coldly and turned away.
Jiang Xinyu didn't bother and simply took her jewelry box and threw it on the table.
"We are getting married on the same day and we can't put makeup on each other. I am older than you, so you can choose whatever you like. Just consider it as compensation for me putting makeup on you."
Li Mingyue looked at her suspiciously, but her family was not very wealthy, and she certainly could not afford to buy Jiang Xinyu's jewelry.
If I give up, I'd really be reluctant.
Jiang Wanqiu was also a little jealous.
Although this idiot's mother is a merchant's daughter, it is true that she is rich.
If it weren't for her mother's housekeeper who had been stealing from the late lady's wedding dress shop all these years, she wouldn't even be able to afford the clothes and jewelry she has now.
God is so unfair. How could that idiot live better than her?
Just when Li Mingyue wanted to pick up a brocade, Jiang Xinyu suddenly snorted coldly.
"Jiang Wanqiu, why are you so free today? What are you doing standing here?
Let me tell you, I gave Mingyue the gift just to apologize to her, so don't keep staring at my things.
I won’t give it to you even if you look at it again.”
Zhang Wanqiu's face suddenly darkened, and she forced a smile while suppressing her anger, "Sister, you are joking. You can give your things to whoever wants to give them. I am not that kind of person."
Jiang Xinyu was still unwilling to give in. She pinched her waist and looked her up and down, sneering, "Why don't you go find your aunt to learn how to be a housekeeper? Aren't you always very busy?
What are you looking at here? I'm afraid your eyeballs will fall into my jewelry box and you won't be able to pull them out."
No matter how cunning Jiang Wanqiu was, she was still just a little girl. When someone touched her sore spot, she could no longer pretend. She said goodbye and turned away.
What is there for a fool to be proud of? Brother Chengye had already told her that when this fool died, all her dowry would be handed over to him.
Just wait, I will be the one who laughs last.
Seeing that Jiang Wanqiu was angry and left, Jiang Xinyu sent all the maids out under various pretexts, and soon she and Li Mingyue were the only ones left in the room.
Jiang Xinyu's sudden abnormality made Li Mingyue alert, "What bad idea are you thinking of?
This jog is all you need as an apology gift. Hurry up and exchange the wedding veils. I have to go back now."
Jiang Xinyu checked to make sure there was no one around and immediately approached Li Mingyue and whispered,
"Do you really want to marry Lord Xiao?
Don't shout yet, I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
Li Mingyue frowned and sneered, "This is the matchmaking by the Emperor. Even though he didn't decree the marriage, I can't resist it. What do you think?"
Jiang Xinyu pretended to sigh and said, "We have been playing together since we were young.
Do you remember when I was ten years old, I almost died in a drowning accident?
I will not hide the fact from you, I was seriously ill that time and the doctor said I might not have any offspring.
You know, the Ningguo Mansion has only one heir. I love Brother Chengye so much, how could I bear to let him have no legitimate son?
I know that you, Mingyue, like him too. You have always been in good health and will definitely be able to give him a child.
So I thought, why don't we exchange brides?
Anyway, I am a woman who cannot give birth to a child, so it doesn’t matter whether I marry a eunuch or not.
As long as Brother Chengye is happy, I am willing to die."
As she spoke, Jiang Xinyu squeezed out two tears, looking like she was making compromises and was deeply in love.
In fact, this girl was cursing in her heart. The stupid words were so disgusting that she wanted to vomit.
Jiang Wanqiu would definitely not believe such words, but who said Li Mingyue was stupid?
She actually thought it made sense.
This is also because the original owner's admiration for Zhao Chengye's image is too deeply rooted in people's minds. It is not surprising that she would do anything stupid when she is in love.
But this was no small matter after all. Li Mingyue hesitated for a long time and finally shook her head.
"The wedding is in two days. My father is only a fifth-rank official, and I don't have as much dowry as you do. The Ningguo Mansion will not agree."
Jiang Xinyu was almost crying because of her stupidity, "My silly sister, you are the emperor's matchmaker and I have been engaged since I was a child. If you just say you want to exchange relatives, my family will definitely not agree.
What I mean is, we get married on the same day, you pretend to be me and I pretend to be you, and we switch secretly.
By the time we pray to heaven and earth, it will be a done deal, and we can only say it was fate that played tricks on us. "
Zhao Mingyue was still a little scared. "I heard that Governor Xiao is ruthless and would kill people without blinking an eye. If he were to pursue the matter..."
Seeing her excitement, Jiang Xinyu quickly said, "Don't worry about this matter.
I'm not afraid to offend you, but apart from not being able to have children, am I any worse than you?
In terms of looks, father's official position, and dowry, you are no match for me."
Li Mingyue wanted to refute unconvinced, but when she thought about it carefully, although she was unwilling to admit it, except for character, Jiang Xinyu was indeed not inferior to her.
Jiang Xinyu continued, "Think about it, my biggest shortcoming is that I can't have children.
But he, Governor Xiao, is just a eunuch, so whether I can have a child or not has no impact on him.
He changed from being the daughter of a fifth-rank official to the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and his dowry increased by more than ten times.
I'm not ugly, why should he be unhappy?
As long as he is willing to keep me, the Ningguo Mansion will not be able to dismiss you."
You should think about it carefully: when a woman gets married, it is her second life.
Do you want to marry a eunuch and live as a widow for the rest of your life, or do you want to marry Brother Chengye?"
"Of course it's Brother Chengye,"
Li Mingyue blurted out, and made up her mind, "Are you really willing to marry me?"
Jiang Xinyu immediately raised her hand, "I, Jiang Xinyu, sincerely want to marry Li Mingyue. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. I will be worse than a pig or a dog if I don't enter the reincarnation cycle, and my body will be left exposed in the wilderness forever..."
Li Mingyue quickly held Jiang Xinyu's hand and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you. You are such a vicious person. You swear so harshly."
Jiang Xinyu stroked her chest and said sincerely, "This is all for Brother Chengye. As long as you give birth to a few more big fat boys for Brother Chengye, I will thank your ancestors for eight generations."
Li Mingyue pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
Although her attitude towards Jiang Xinyu has changed a bit now, she still can't like this person.
In order to prevent any changes in the situation, Jiang Xinyu specifically told Li Mingyue that Jiang Wanqiu also liked your brother Chengye, and this must not be kept secret from her.
Also, as a little girl, you can't plan such a big action, so it's best to discuss it with your mother.
Li Mingyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Need you to tell me that? My mother loves me the most.
Just don’t regret it.”
Jiang Xinyu made repeated assurances, and then took out her wedding dress and veil to show Li Mingyue.
The original wedding dress had been prepared long ago and embroidered stitch by stitch, but if the color was just similar to the general pattern, two days would be enough to make a copy.
The wife of Minister Li is a shrewd person and a loving mother. She would be willing to take a chance on a illegitimate son rather than a biological daughter.
This is also one of the important reasons why Jiang Xinyu dared to come up with this idea.
Jiang Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief after Li Mingyue left.
Do your best and leave your fate to fate.
I hope this girl and her mother can help. She can't do it. The yard is full of people arranged by the mother and daughter. She really can't move an inch.
