Chapter 139 "Is there really such a good thing in the world?"
After a long while, Huang Xiangyu replied:
"If it were me, I would probably be forced into it. Or perhaps I was holding back a grudge and had to prove myself right? I can't say for sure, because I don't think I'm the kind of person who acts impulsively, and I wouldn't make that kind of choice."
"If I really made that choice, I might make my unfaithful husband... cough cough, make him miserable after marriage."
Ye Mingzhu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
She brought up another matter: "By the way, you know Sheng Huai'an is impotent, but you probably don't know that he was greatly affected by it, drinking every day, and his health has deteriorated. He's still unconscious. If you marry him, he'll die within days..."
"Then let him die," Huang Xiangyu said without hesitation.
Ye Mingzhu added, "Sheng Huai'an also has a concubine who is pregnant... I wonder if you mind?"
Having "cooperated" with Yu Shu so many times, Ye Mingzhu was unwilling to let her suffer a tragic end.
If Huang Xiangyu minds, she will take Yushu away and make proper arrangements for it.
"Is there really such a good thing in the world?" Huang Xiangyu's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I can have a child without having to give birth myself. I'm so happy about this freebie! As long as that Miss Yushu is easy to get along with, I'm willing to raise the child with her."
Ye Mingzhu...
Ye Mingzhu burst out laughing.
"Alright then." She pushed a wooden box in front of Huang Xiangyu. "This is a gift for you. I'm just an ordinary person, and what I'm giving you is also ordinary. Please don't refuse."
Huang Xiangyu nodded: "Then thank you very much."
She had done Ye Mingzhu a favor, though it was just a small favor in her eyes and not worth mentioning. But since Ye Mingzhu wanted to thank her, she didn't need to keep refusing.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two of them will become sisters-in-law in the future. At worst, she can repay them in the future; she believes she has the ability to do so.
After talking for a while, Ye Mingzhu got up.
Watching Ye Mingzhu leave the private room, Huang Xiangyu opened the wooden box in front of her and was stunned to find that it contained not the silver ingots she had expected, but several gold ingots neatly stacked inside.
this……
Now that she has the initial capital, things will be much easier after she gets married. Her path to becoming a female tycoon is finally about to begin!
In this era, only she, a time traveler, truly knows how difficult it is for a woman to take control of her own destiny.
Huang Xiangyu smiled with satisfaction, her eyes bright.
...
In order to bring good fortune to the comatose Sheng Huai'an, his marriage to Huang Xiangyu was arranged in a very hasty manner.
They didn't even set off many firecrackers.
Of course, it's also possible that the stingy Jia family wanted to save money.
A bridal sedan chair carried Huang Xiangyu into the mansion.
At the request of the matriarch, Princess Ronghua, mindful of the difficulties faced by the new bride, softened her heart and agreed to Jia's request, allowing her illegitimate son, Sheng Ruixuan, to carry a rooster in place of Sheng Huai'an for the wedding ceremony.
Sheng Ruixuan diligently completed the wedding ceremony and escorted the bride to the bridal chamber, considering his assistance done.
Ye Mingzhu never expected that in her past life, Sheng Ruixuan would stand in for Sheng Huai'an to welcome the bride, and in this life, it would be him again... This half-brother with no presence must have had a hard time.
As for Sheng Huai'an's wedding night, it was impossible for him to have a wedding night while he was in a coma.
Even Jia Shi only hoped that Sheng Huai'an could be spared.
The good news is that not many people in Yanjing are paying attention to this marriage.
The bad news is that hardly anyone in Yanjing City is paying attention to Sheng Huai'an's marriage. The Sheng family has almost completely lost face in the circles of power and wealth.
It will be difficult for them to save face in the future.
To save face and avoid gossip, although Princess Ronghua did not attend the wedding ceremony, Ye Mingzhu and Sheng Yunche did attend and stayed for quite some time.
However, Ye Mingzhu wasn't entirely worried about gossip; she mainly wanted to see Sheng Huai'an make a fool of himself and also to see if Huang Xiangyu needed any help.
These two are not contradictory.
Who told Huang Xiangyu to have no feelings for Sheng Huai'an, and even to wish for her husband's death?
Back when Sheng Yunche asked her if she was hoping to remain a widow, she truly didn't, but Huang Xiangyu truly did.
This can be considered a blessing for Sheng Huai'an.
On the way home, Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh to Sheng Yunche, "From now on, Sheng Huai'an is basically useless, right?"
Sheng Yunche asked a completely unrelated question: "The child in Yushu's belly is not Sheng Huai'an's?"
"Hmm." Ye Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled. "It was Fu'an who found the person for Yushu. He said that she looked about 50 or 60 percent like Sheng Huai'an and was quite capable. She got Yushu pregnant after only a few times."
Sheng Yunche lowered his eyes and looked at her meaningfully.
Ye Mingzhu immediately took a step back, wishing she could cover his eyes with her hands: "Don't even think about it. You don't need to prove your 'ability'. I don't want a child right now!"
"..." Sheng Yunche gave a haughty snort, "You don't want children, which makes me very sad."
“…Oh.” Ye Mingzhu looked at him with a half-smile, and still played along, saying, “Then how can you not be sad?”
Sheng Yunche seemed oblivious to her sarcasm and calmly said, "Let's extend our cooperation for another year. If you agree, I won't be sad anymore."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
She knew that this person was using this as an excuse to make trouble.
Otherwise, she would have told him about the child long ago, so why would he feel aggrieved? Besides, it's not that she doesn't want to have children, she just wants to wait until she's older and the risk of childbirth is lower.
"Do you agree or not?" Sheng Yunche pressed.
Ye Mingzhu's cheeks flushed: "Okay, okay, okay."
“Go back and sign the contract, so you won’t try to renege on your debt.” Sheng Yunche’s lips curled up immediately, and he was already thinking, “Once I’ve collected a whole box of contracts, you won’t be able to escape either.”
Ye Mingzhu: "...Okay."
The Sheng Mansion and the Duke of Wei's Mansion are adjacent to each other; they are just a side gate away.
The two of them walked back to Linfeng Hall without feeling tired.
The maids had prepared the hot water in the bathhouse early in the morning. Ye Mingzhu had just stepped into the bathhouse to take a bath when the door suddenly opened. Sheng Yunche walked in from outside and then closed the door behind him.
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.
Before she could say anything, he quickly took off his clothes.
With an expression that said, "Look, I've already taken my clothes off, there's no way I'm leaving," Ye Mingzhu was speechless.
This person, this person is unbelievable...
"Let's shower together." Sheng Yunche said shamelessly, "I'll serve you."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Was he really the one serving her?
