Chapter 36 Let’s Elop

Every word Lu Lingyun spoke was neither fast nor slow, but it was like a knife that pierced his heart.

She was left speechless.

She just felt that her pride as a time-traveling woman was useless in front of Lu Lingyun.

She left Lu Lingyun's place with a sullen face and without saying a word.

After returning, she was locked up in the Yaoguang Pavilion. When Cheng Yunshuo came back from his work, the first thing he asked was Qiu Kui and how Xing Dairong was doing.

Qiu Kui told him that Xing Dairong had found out about Lu Lingyun today and had locked himself in the room when he came back. When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, his brows furrowed.

He is unhappy.

Very unhappy.

He wanted her to be his concubine, but she even dared to go to Lu Lingyun and make a fuss, asking her to give up her position.

This is sheer nonsense!

Why did she look for Lu Lingyun! When did Lu Lingyun offend her again! How could she be so confused about her own identity!

Seeing her come back and lock herself in the room, looking like she was going to get angry with him again, Cheng Yunshuo felt angry and annoyed.

He really married a living ancestor!

Just when he didn't know whether to coax or anger Xing Dairong, her door opened automatically from the inside.

Xing Dairong stood at the door with a calm face. When he saw him, he said in a gentle voice, "Yun Shuo, you're back."

She had no temper at all, and Cheng Yunshuo was confused for a while.

"Did you go to see Lu Lingyun today?" Cheng Yunshuo asked directly.

"Yeah." Xing Dairong didn't lose his temper like usual, and still stood at the door. "I want to have a good talk with you."

She was so calm at this moment, even a little vulnerable.

Just like a young bird caught in a rainstorm, without its usual chirping and agility, Cheng Yunshuo's heart softened immediately.

Come to think of it, he was the one who made her unhappy first.

It was he who first proposed that she be his concubine.

He was so used to Xing Dairong, it was normal for her to be a little angry.

Cheng Yunshuo planned to have a good talk with her this time and talk it out.

He walked into the room and took the initiative to say, "Dai Rong, you are not just an ordinary concubine. I will discuss it with Ling Yun and make you a noble concubine."

In this era, there is only one legal wife, and under the legal wife, there are three levels of concubines: noble concubine, good concubine and inferior concubine.

Qiu Ling is now a concubine.

Generally speaking, the rank of a concubine is also derived from the woman's origin. A noble concubine is one whose natal family has a certain status and position. In a marquis's mansion, most of them are illegitimate daughters of minor officials, or daughters of wealthy merchants who enter the mansion as concubines and can become noble concubines.

A concubine is a pure girl from a good family, or a domestic servant with qualifications and background in the master's family, such as Qiu Ling.

The lowest class of concubines are usually actors, prostitutes, or orphans who have no one to rely on. After entering the palace, they can only become concubines.

With a status like Xing Dairong, the Marquis's mansion would not easily let her in as a concubine. But after all, Cheng Yunshuo loved her very much. For her, she was willing to fight hard with Lu Lingyun and Qin to give Xing Dairong the status of a concubine.

"My dear concubine?" Xing Dairong muttered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Cheng Yunshuo held her hand and continued, "Dai Rong, status is really not important. With me here, no one in this mansion dares to bully you. I will give you the best food, clothing and daily necessities."

"Same as Lu Lingyun?" Xing Dairong asked back.

Cheng Yunshuo choked when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Why do you have to compare yourself with Lingyun?"

After all, Cheng Yunshuo is also well-informed.

What he could give to Xing Dairong was only the best that he could give, but it would never be better than Lu Lingyun.

Lu Lingyun is the legal wife, how can she be treated like a concubine?

"Haha." Xing Dairong sneered twice calmly.

Cheng Yunshuo continued to hold her hand tightly and coaxed her, "Dai Rong, the rank of a concubine is only lower than that of a wife, and in the mansion, I am the highest among all the others. I really promise you that you are the only one in my life. You believe me, okay?"

Unless compared with Lu Lingyun, she is definitely the best-living woman in the Marquis' Mansion.

And his lifelong love.

This is definitely something that countless people envy.

After he finished speaking, Xing Dairong suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Cheng Yunshuo, let's elope!"

"What?!"

Cheng Yunshuo was shocked.

"Elope! Let's escape from the Marquis' Mansion!" Xing Dairong looked at Cheng Yunshuo closely with his eyes shining. "Since you love me, run away with me. I don't want to stay here anymore."

She suffered a huge blow from Lu Lingyun today.

Lu Lingyun's words made her wake up immediately. She now knew very well that as long as she stayed in this mansion, she would never be able to surpass Lu Lingyun.

As long as Lu Lingyun was around, she was the legitimate mistress here, and she could only work under her.

She couldn't accept it.

She wants to escape.

Cheng Yunshuo took the money and took her with him, and they went out together to find a good place where they could buy a house and land and live freely. And wouldn’t she be Cheng Yunshuo’s legitimate wife?

Is it worth it to live here being oppressed by Lu Lingyun?

Her words made Cheng Yunshuo frown.

Things are different now.

Now is not the last life either.

In the previous life, it was Lu Hanyi who foolishly treated Xing Dairong as her enemy and suppressed and targeted her everywhere, which made the relationship between the two more and more tense. It was also because of the abortion of Xing Dairong's child that Cheng Yunshuo decided to abandon everything and elope with Xing Dairong.

But in this life, why did Cheng Yunshuo elope with Xing Dairong?

Wouldn't it be nice for him to be the young master of a marquisate in the capital? Wouldn't it be nice for him to be a member of the Jinwu Guard? He married Xing Dairong and spoiled her in the mansion. No one in the mansion said anything against him. Even Qin, under Lu Lingyun's persuasion, allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Everyone has given him enough freedom and space, so why did he leave the mansion and elope with Xing Dairong?

Once you elope, you will be branded as unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial.

It would have been fine if he and Xing Dairong were in love to death in his previous life, but in this life, the feelings between him and Xing Dairong were not enough for him to choose such an extreme way.

Cheng Yunshuo frowned.

"Yun Shuo!" Xing Dairong hugged him tightly, "I really don't want to live in the Marquis' Mansion anymore."

"Let's take the money and leave the capital, and buy a house, a shop, or land anywhere. Then we can open a shop together to do business and collect rent. I will be your legal wife, and we will be a happy couple for the rest of our lives, and no one will bully us anymore."

Xing Dairong's dream made Cheng Yunshuo frown. Not to mention that he paid for everything, Xing Dairong only contributed one person. Just one thing, "How can you do business!"

The last time Xing Dairong opened a buffet, she made him realize one thing: Xing Dairong was only suitable for romance and she was not pragmatic at all.

"Yun Shuo!" Xing Dairong raised his head. "Besides the buffet, I really have many other ideas. One failure does not mean failure every time. Just believe me, I will make you famous outside!"

Xing Dairong has another secret.
