Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals

The wise prince picked up his teacup, took a sip, and pulled out a red envelope from his robes. It was originally prepared for Liu Qiongqiong, but it would be the same now that it was someone else.

Liu Chenchen accepted the red envelope, picked up another cup of tea and held it above her head: "Mother, please have some tea."

Princess Xian looked at the teacup in front of her, then at her son standing there, sighed slightly, and picked up the teacup.

Finally, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Liu Chenchen: "This is a gift from the Empress Dowager. Today, your mother is giving it to you. I hope you will remember your place."

"Yes, daughter-in-law will remember Mother's teachings." A faint smile appeared on Liu Chenchen's lips.

Once the Princess Consort said those words and gave the bracelet, the matter was settled.

Finally, she smiled brightly and curtsied to Liu Wenyuan, speaking respectfully like a good daughter: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."

Looking at this daughter he didn't recognize at all, Liu Wenyuan felt extremely aggrieved.

Finally, having no other choice, he could only nod stiffly and accept reality.

What else can we do if we don't accept it?

We don't know what the future holds for this daughter, so we can't afford to offend her any further.

After leaving the main courtyard, the two walked in silence for a while before Xiao Shiyan turned back to look at Liu Chenchen with a complicated expression.

He had really underestimated this woman. He thought there would be a tough battle today, and he was even prepared to stand up for her.

I didn't expect it to end like this?

With just a few words, she turned the tide and successfully secured her position as the Crown Princess.

"You're quite something," he said in a low voice.

Liu Chenchen turned to look at him, blinking, "What did you say, Your Highness? I don't understand."

Xiao Shiyan looked at her feigning ignorance and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

He shook his head, said nothing more, and walked straight ahead.

Liu Chenchen followed behind him, watching his back, and shrugged.

For Liu Qiongqiong, who was staying at the Xu family home, this night was exceptionally long.

She sat on the bed waiting and waiting, until the sky began to lighten, but the person she wanted to see did not appear, and her heart gradually grew cold.

The sound of a man getting up could be heard from the other side. Not only had she not slept all night, but Xu Jingming had also not slept all night.

Looking at the slender man folding blankets across from her, Liu Qiongqiong couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

Is this where she will live from now on?

A narrow courtyard, simple rooms, a poor husband, and his parents.

She remembered her mother's words: "Qiongqiong, you are the legitimate daughter, and you will definitely marry into royalty and nobility, and become the mistress of the house. Those poor families are not good enough for you."

But now?

Liu Qiongqiong smiled bitterly.

If her mother knew her current situation, she would probably faint from anger.

Last night, by candlelight, she saw him sticking out of the blanket, his fists clenched tightly.

She knew he was also holding back.

Endure this humiliation, swallow this anger.

He possessed the pride of a scholar and the dignity that came from ten years of hard study.

Tonight's events were also a great humiliation for him.

His fiancée would rather scheme to marry her elder sister in his place than marry him. If this gets out, how can he hold his head high in front of his colleagues?

Liu Qiongqiong closed her eyes, and the slight dislike she felt for Xu Jingming gradually dissipated.

They are the same.

They were all pawns in Liu Chenchen's hands, and victims of this farce.

Since that's the case...

That's settled then.

She had already spent the night in Xu Jingming's room, and the two had even gone through the wedding ceremony. She knew she could never go back.

Since she can't go back, and since she can only stay in the Xu family, why doesn't she turn Xu Jingming into her own help?

He was a newly appointed scholar who passed the imperial examination; he was talented and promising.

Although I am only a minor official of the seventh rank now, with the help of someone, I may be able to rise to a higher position.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family, and her father was the Minister of the Court, with students and old friends all over the court.

Even if her father is angry now, she is still his own daughter. Would he really just stand by and watch her fall into misery?

If only she could persuade her father to give Xu Jingming a helping hand...

Even if Liu Qiongqiong marries into a poor family, she might still be able to turn her life around!

This thought made Liu Qiongqiong's heart race.

Yes, instead of wallowing in self-pity, we should try to turn things around.

Did Liu Chenchen think that pushing her into the fire would ruin her? How naive.

She, Liu Qiongqiong, is not someone to be trifled with!

I got out of bed and straightened my clothes and hair.

Although she hadn't slept all night, she still maintained a dignified demeanor.

Her long hair was a little messy, so she simply untied it all, combed it carefully, tied it into a simple bun, and inserted a simple gold hairpin.

The woman in the bronze mirror had a beautiful face, but her complexion was somewhat pale, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.

The man got up, folded the blankets, and put them in the closet. Then he went to the table, poured himself a glass of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Their eyes met in mid-air, both looking embarrassed.

Xu Jingming didn't know what to say, but Liu Qiongqiong spoke first: "The matter of the marriage exchange was absurd, sister, and we will surely have an explanation today."

After speaking, he stood up and gave a slight curtsy, behaving very respectfully.

Xu Jingming was taken aback and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Miss Liu, there's no need for this. You are also a victim in this matter."

Liu Qiongqiong shook her head: "The fault lies with the Minister's Mansion. The marriage exchange is a done deal and it's probably difficult to change. I wonder... if Young Master Xu would be willing to be my true husband?"

Xu Jingming was truly astonished and stared at the woman opposite him in disbelief.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family, and she could even become the Crown Princess. Is she really willing to marry a minor official of only seventh rank?

"Miss Liu, don't you mind that my family is poor?" The voice that came out was somewhat hoarse.

A bitter and helpless smile appeared on Liu Qiongqiong's face: "What can I do if I'm unwilling? Things have come to this point, and there's no other choice."

I went through the wedding ceremony yesterday, and then spent the night in a room with a strange man. Everything is over now.

If her parents had come to take her home on her wedding night, there might have been a glimmer of hope.

From the moment the sun rose, she knew it was impossible.

Since that's the case, why not say: "If you don't mind, I will definitely take good care of my husband and children, manage the household affairs, and ask my father to promote you. With your abilities, you might just rise to a high position."

Xu Jingming stared at her silently for a long time.

After a long pause, she finally let out a long sigh: "Miss Liu, do you know that by doing this you have given up the position of Crown Princess?"

"Princess Consort?" Liu Qiongqiong gave a self-deprecating laugh: "What's this talk of giving up or not? I can't go back anyway."

"Instead of going home to endure ridicule, I'd rather join forces with you, young master, and strive for a better future."
