Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals
Chapter 76 Marriage Swap
Xiao Shiyan frowned, staring at the unfamiliar yet beautiful face before him: "You're not Liu Qiongqiong, who are you?"
Although he hadn't met Liu Qiongqiong many times, he had seen her before and naturally remembered what his fiancée looked like.
The woman before him was beautiful, but she was completely different from Liu Qiongqiong's aloof and arrogant personality.
Liu Chenchen smiled.
Seeing the other person's appearance put her at ease; she was really afraid he would be ugly and an eyesore.
She stood up, walked to Xiao Shiyan, and looked up at him.
The two were extremely close, close enough to smell each other's scent.
The man had a faint scent of wine and sandalwood, while Mo Chenchen had a light and elegant scent of perfume.
"I am Liu Chenchen, the illegitimate daughter of the Minister's family." Her voice was soft, and her eyes held a smile. "What, does the young master not like her? Does he prefer someone like my sister?"
Xiao Shiyan narrowed his eyes, sizing up the audacious woman in front of him.
"You've got some nerve," Xiao Shiyan said calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the Prince's Mansion is?"
Liu Chenchen tilted her head, her smile growing even brighter: "Your Highness is joking. How could Chenchen have lied? The bridal sedan chair was carried out from the Minister's residence, the bride is the Minister's daughter, and the ones performing the wedding ceremony were the Prince Xian's son and Miss Liu. What's wrong with that?"
"Where is Liu Qiongqiong?" Xiao Shiyan asked.
"Sister," Liu Chenchen walked to the table, poured herself another glass of wine, and said slowly, "She should already be in her bridal chamber with her sweetheart, Xu Jingming, after the wedding ceremony."
He had heard of Xu Jingming. He was a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) this year and was now a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. His family had fallen on hard times, but he was a man of considerable talent and reputation.
Did Liu Qiongqiong have a secret relationship with such a person?
No? Impossible.
Even if a lady from a respectable family like Liu Qiongqiong truly liked someone, she wouldn't do something so outrageous.
Xiao Shiyan's eyes sharpened as he looked at the seemingly harmless woman in front of him. There could only be one explanation:
"You designed it."
Xiao Shiyan's words were not a question, but a statement of certainty.
Liu Chenchen didn't deny it, took a sip of wine, and turned to look at him:
"Your Highness is a wise man. The matter is already settled. If you send me back now, the Liu family will lose all face, and what will become of the Prince Xian's Mansion? People will say that on his wedding day, the Prince Xian's heir discovered that his bride had been switched and sent her back in a fit of anger. This joke will be enough for the people of the capital to talk about for three years."
As he spoke, he held up his finger and made a three.
She paused, then continued, "Besides, my sister has already married Xu Jingming. Even if you bring her back now, she can't become the heir apparent's wife. Would the Prince's mansion want a woman who has lost her virginity, or would the young master Xiao want her?"
Xiao Shiyan looked at her in silence.
The candlelight flickered on the woman's face, making her once beautiful features appear somewhat eerie.
She had done something so outrageous, yet she remained so calm and even threatened him in return.
good very good.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Xiao Shiyan asked slowly.
Liu Chenchen laughed out loud: "Your Highness is a gentleman, and a gentleman would not kill the innocent indiscriminately. Besides, if you kill me, how will you explain to the Liu family? How will you explain to the Emperor? Today is our wedding day, and the Emperor has bestowed gifts upon us."
Besides, if a fight really breaks out, it's uncertain who will kill whom. Did she think she had wasted all those years in the apocalypse?
She walked to the window, pushed it open a crack, looked at the quiet night outside, and said softly, "Now that things are like this, isn't it the best thing to just go with the flow? Aren't I more suitable than Liu Qiongqiong?"
She turned around, looking into the man's eyes: "The marriage alliance you wanted still exists, and I have no sense of belonging to the Minister's mansion. Isn't it better to simply be the heir's wife?"
Xiao Shiyan looked at her and suddenly laughed: "You're quite confident."
The smile was faint, yet it made Liu Chenchen's heart tighten slightly.
This man was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Xiao Shiyan walked to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp, no longer wanting to discuss the topic.
"Let's get some rest early tonight. We can deal with anything tomorrow."
He turned to leave, but Liu Chenchen called out to him, "Isn't the young master staying overnight tonight?"
Xiao Shiyan turned to look at her, his gaze deep: "Do you think I would share a bed with a woman who schemes against me?"
Liu Chenchen wasn't annoyed, she just smiled and said, "Then where will the young master sleep? It wouldn't sound good if word got out that they're sleeping in separate rooms on their wedding night."
Xiao Shiyan looked around the room and pointed to the soft couch by the window: "I'll sleep there."
Liu Chenchen raised an eyebrow, but did not object.
She walked to the bedside and began to remove the few gold hairpins from her hair, casually tossing them onto the dressing table: "Then, Your Highness, please do as you please."
Her movements were natural, as if the two were truly a loving couple.
Watching the woman begin to remove her wedding dress, until only her red undergarment remained, one couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.
I don't know if he actually has any skills, or if he's just pretending.
The room gradually quieted down, with only the crackling of the red candles.
Liu Chenchen lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. Regardless of which of the men over there was awake, her mind began to work.
Tomorrow will be the real test.
The commotion on Liu Qiongqiong's side, and the reaction of Minister Liu's family.
The attitude of the wise king and his wife.
And inside the house, there's the man, Xiao Shiyan's attitude.
During their time together that evening, Liu Chenchen was surprised to find that she couldn't figure out what the man was thinking.
This is much more difficult to deal with than those five in my previous life.
Oh! It's also possible that because she had all the initiative in her past life, she had no intention of guessing.
The man could have easily lost his temper or pursued the matter overnight, but instead chose to wait quietly. What was his reasoning?
Sure enough, the ancients weren't stupid; all those love-struck characters in those short dramas were just nonsense.
Just then, Xiao Shiyan's voice came from the soft couch: "Not asleep yet?"
Liu Chenchen was startled, but quickly regained her composure, realizing she had been thinking too seriously: "The young master wasn't asleep either, was he?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Shiyan asked.
Liu Chenchen turned over, facing the soft couch.
Through the screen, only blurry figures could be seen.
"I'm wondering what tomorrow will bring," she said honestly.
Xiao Shiyan chuckled lightly: "Now you know fear?"
"Afraid?" Liu Chenchen laughed as well. "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have done what I did today. I was just thinking about how to get out of this unscathed tomorrow."
"Oh?" Xiao Shiyan also became interested, and asked with one hand behind his head, "Tell me your plan."
Suddenly, there was no sound from Liu Chenchen's side, as if she had fallen asleep.
Xiao Shiyan didn't mind; it didn't matter if he didn't answer, he would know tomorrow.
He wanted to see how this woman would break the deadlock tomorrow.
His father and mother were not like him; they were not content with just getting by.
Surprisingly, the change in our monotonous lives has actually been quite interesting.
