At this time, in some corners of Renhe County, the story of "The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband" was slowly fermenting.
Since Liang Jing got married and had children, he often stayed at home, taking care of his wife and children. When he had nothing to do, he would read some miscellaneous books.
He would buy books and periodicals from various bookstores every five days.
The servant had just brought him a new issue of books and magazines, and he was now half leaning against the bed, flipping through them leisurely.
He flipped through the pages, sometimes even skipping over certain parts of the story.
Liang Jing has been reading books and periodicals for two years, which has made him more and more picky about the storybooks he reads.
"It seems that there is nothing interesting in these new issues of books and magazines." Liang Jing murmured, picking up the last book and magazine, not very happy.
"Books and magazines from Fengya Bookstore?" This was the last one on hand.
He remembered that this was a newly opened bookstore in Renhe County. He had also read its previous books and magazines, and to be honest, the quality was not very good.
Out of boredom, he still flipped through it.
Then I was attracted by the introduction of the first article "The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband".
Time passed unknowingly, and Liang Jing's wife Lin Xi came back.
She pushed open the bedroom door, and before she got close, she heard soft sobbing.
He turned around and headed towards the bed.
I saw my husband leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand, his eyes were red, and he was crying.
Lin Xi was stunned and at a loss: "A Jing, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Liang Jing glared at her fiercely, then spat out two words: "Bastard!"
Lin Xi: “???” What did I do?
Liang Jing complained: "Tell me, are you treating me as his substitute?"
Lin Xi was even more confused. What substitute?
Liang Jing: "I heard before that you wanted to marry my brother. Later, my brother got married, so my family married me to you. Tell me, did you treat me as his substitute?"
Liang Jing and his brother have different fathers and have had problems since childhood.
"Ajing, what did you say? I don't understand." Lin Xi looked innocent and wanted to hug Liang Jing.
Liang Jing dodged, threw the book in his hand at her, and said angrily: "Read it yourself."
He also gave her a look that said, "I'll see how you pretend then."
Lin Xi flipped through the book and quickly understood the reason, and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"A Jing, what are you thinking? I don't like your brother at all, so how can there be a substitute?"
Liang Jing snorted, "But the person you asked to marry was my brother."
Lin Xi touched her nose and didn't speak for a moment.
"See, you're guilty."
Seeing Liang Jing misunderstood, Lin Xi suddenly became anxious. After thinking about it, she finally told him what happened that year.
Lin Xi fell in love with Liang Jing at first sight and wanted to marry him, but Liang Jing had no feelings for her, and his family didn't want to marry him off too early.
However, Lin Xi still went to the Liang family and expressed her desire to marry the Liang family's son.
The Liang family thought she was going to marry Liang Jing's brother, and they were overjoyed and agreed.
However, Liang Jing's brother hid the fact that he had a crush on someone from his family and even got that woman pregnant with his child.
In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed, the Liang family had no choice but to marry Liang Jing's brother to that woman. They also took advantage of the loophole that Lin Xi "only wanted to marry the son of the Liang family" when she proposed marriage and married Liang Jing to her.
It can be said that Liang Jing was forced to marry in those days.
