"Ning'er, this isn't a dream. It's really me. I'm here to see you." Lu Ning shook his head and hugged Meng Xin tightly. "That's impossible. The real Ah Xin is already married. Tonight is her wedding night. She'll be in the bridal chamber with another man. She doesn't want me anymore. But you're here, so you appeared in my dream. It doesn't matter. Just being in a dream is enough."
Lu Ning has always been determined that Meng Xin doesn't want him, doesn't want to love him anymore, and won't come to see him again. She expresses her love to Lu Ning in her "dream" over and over again.
It was not until later, after Lu Ning explained several times, that he was sure that the person in front of him was Meng Xin.
[“You, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in the bridal chamber, accompanying your...husband?” Lu Ning bit her lip and said the word “husband”, tears falling as she endured the pain.
Meng Xin hurriedly held his hand and said, "Ning'er, I don't love him at all. The only person I love is you. He's just your substitute. I only married because my parents forced me to."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ning pushed her away ruthlessly.
Lu Ning turned his back to her and said in a cold tone, "Go away. Don't say these words anymore. I was the one who wronged you first. Let's not meet again. Just live a good life with your husband. Let's... say goodbye forever."
Meng Xin immediately rushed over and hugged Lu Ning: "Ning'er, don't be so cruel. I know you pushed me away because you had to, but you can't deprive me of my last right to love you. If you can't even love you, then what's the point of me living." As she said that, Meng Xin picked up the scissors on the table beside her and was about to stab herself in the heart.
Lu Ning quickly stopped him: "Why are you so stupid?" Meng Xin threw away the scissors, hugged Lu Ning, and kissed him fiercely: "Because I love you, Ning'er."
That night, Meng Xin took care of Lu Ning at Lu's house all night and left until dawn.
After dawn, she was so tired that she found a nearby inn and fell asleep.
She didn't know that Bai Mianyang was currently imprisoned in a gloomy and terrifying ancestral hall. She didn't know that Bai Mianyang had fainted from kneeling for so long.
[Bai Mianyang had a fever, her whole body was burning hot. In a daze, she seemed to hear some faint sounds.
"You said that Mr. Bai is really pitiful. On his wedding night, he was abandoned by the young lady and was even punished by the lady to kneel in the ancestral hall."
"His marriage into the Meng family was a mistake. Didn't you notice his appearance? He's clearly..." The maid's mouth was covered. They seemed to say something else afterwards, but Bai Mianyang couldn't hear it, having fallen into a coma again...
The third issue of "The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband" is being serialized here.
"Bai Mianyang is so pitiful. He was abandoned on his wedding night and his wife went to meet her young lover at night."
"I think Lu Ning is definitely a bad guy. He did it on purpose. He doesn't like Meng Xin, but he doesn't want her to be with anyone else."
"The Meng family is truly despicable. Bai Mianyang is so fragile and pitiful, yet she was forced to kneel in a horrible place like the ancestral hall for five hours. Is that something a human could do?"
"Alas, why didn't those maids continue talking? If they had told everyone that Bai Mianyang was Lu Ning's stand-in, then maybe Bai Mianyang would have seen Meng Xin clearly, and maybe he wouldn't have loved her so hard, or even stop loving her."
"His wife doesn't love him, he's not on good terms with the Meng family, and Lu Ning is causing trouble again. Bai Mianyang will be in a difficult situation in the future."
