Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals
Chapter 87 Marriage Swap
When Xiao Shiyan returned from the study, it was nearly 9 PM.
He pushed open the door and saw Liu Chenchen leaning against the headboard reading a book, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her plain white undergarment making her complexion appear even more radiant.
As for what books he read? Of course, they were the Complete Compendium of Herbs in the world of cultivation.
"You're back?" She looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, clearly in a good mood.
Xiao Shiyan nodded and went behind the screen to change his clothes and wash up.
When he came out, Liu Chenchen had already put down her book and was looking at him with a half-smile.
"What, are you planning to sleep on the soft couch?" She raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Shiyan paused in his steps.
That's what he was thinking, and he subconsciously walked towards the soft couch.
I haven't really thought of anything more.
"Come here, get into bed." Liu Chenchen patted the spot next to her, her tone so self-righteous and natural, as if the two of them had already slept together.
Xiao Shiyan stood there, momentarily at a loss for words.
This woman is always so bold, speaking and acting without any restraint, completely unaware of the meaning of "shame".
"What, now that we're legally husband and wife, aren't you going to sleep with me?" She tilted her head, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Could it be... that the young master has some other intention?"
That's a tricky question.
Xiao Shiyan remained silent for a moment before finally walking towards the bedside.
He's right. The two of them are now officially married, and it's only natural for them to share a bed.
Liu Chenchen smiled with satisfaction and very consciously moved further into the bed, making room for herself next to her.
The bed curtains were drawn, and the candlelight flickered.
Xiao Shiyan lay on the outside of the bed, his body a little stiff.
He had never shared a bed with anyone before, and now there was a soft, warm body beside him, with a faint fragrance of a woman lingering around his nose, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Chenchen, however, showed no hesitation. She turned over and snuggled into his arms, one hand resting on his waist.
"You..." Xiao Shiyan froze.
"Don't move." Liu Chenchen closed her eyes, her voice drowsy. "Let me hug you."
Xiao Shiyan stiffened, feeling the soft touch in his arms, and his heart inexplicably beat faster.
He looked down and saw that Liu Chenchen had closed her eyes and was breathing evenly; she had actually fallen asleep.
Obviously, after a whole day of work, everyone was exhausted.
He could not laugh or cry.
This woman, she flirted with him and then went to sleep, how carefree!
It was tough on him; he had never been so close to anyone before, and now that he had someone in his arms, he couldn't fall asleep for a while.
I finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
For the next two days, the two maintained this delicate way of getting along.
Xiao Shiyan unilaterally adapted to Liu Chenchen's closeness, while Liu Chenchen did as she pleased, hugging and flirting as she pleased, completely disregarding the man's embarrassment.
The three-day period is over, and it's time for the bride to return to her parents' home.
That morning, Xiao Shiyan offered, "It's your homecoming today, I'll go with you."
Liu Chenchen was doing her makeup in front of the mirror when she heard this. She glanced at him in the mirror and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "Not bad, not so clueless about romance."
Xiao Shiyan: "..."
The gifts for the bride's return visit were prepared by the Princess Consort Xian. They filled two large carts and included fine silks, precious medicinal herbs, and gold and silver ornaments, all of which were exquisite and showcased the grandeur of the Prince Xian's residence.
Liu Chenchen was a little reluctant, but she was also thinking about the issue of face and the 108 loads of dowry she had received for free.
Liu Chenchen also had a grand entrance.
Besides Xiao Shiyan, who brought his servant Yunzhu and guard Yunqing, she also brought four maids and a nanny, and they headed to the Minister's residence in a grand procession.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Minister's residence, the gates were already wide open.
The butler was waiting at the door early. When he saw them get out of the car, he quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Young Master, Young Master's Wife, Master and Madam are already waiting in the hall."
The group entered the mansion and walked along the corridor towards the main hall.
Before even entering, I could hear laughter and chatter coming from inside; it sounded quite lively.
Upon entering the hall, Liu Chenchen glanced around and sneered inwardly.
What a complete family.
Liu Wenyuan and Madam Li sat in the main seats, while Liu Yanfeng sat to the side.
On either side of the hall, Aunt Sun stood with Liu Chenchen's half-brother Liu Yanqing, and her two half-sisters Liu Zhenzhen and Liu Feifei were also there.
Liu Qiongqiong and Xu Jingming arrived so early.
"Your son-in-law (daughter) greets your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xiao Shiyan and Liu Chenchen bowed together.
Liu Wenyuan quickly stood up: "My dear son-in-law, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."
Li snorted coldly and turned her face away, clearly still angry about her daughter's matter.
Liu Chenchen pretended not to hear and naturally walked to the seat below the main seat and sat down.
Xiao Shiyan glanced at her and sat down beside her.
Liu Chenchen showed no embarrassment or awkwardness whatsoever, which greatly surprised Xiao Shiyan.
He originally thought that Liu Chenchen would feel somewhat uncomfortable facing her ex-fiancé and her elder sister, whom he had schemed against.
That's it?
On the contrary, Liu Qiongqiong and Xu Jingming both looked rather unnatural.
Liu Qiongqiong kept her head down, avoiding looking in Liu Chenchen's direction;
Xu Jingming looked at Liu Chenchen with complicated emotions before quickly looking away.
Seeing Liu Chenchen's composed demeanor, Madam Li grew even angrier and couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Second Miss is now the Crown Prince's consort, truly enjoying boundless glory. I just wonder how long this glory will last?"
These words were harsh, and the hall immediately fell silent.
Liu Chenchen looked up at Madam Li, a cold smile playing on her lips, but ignored her. Instead, she turned to Liu Wenyuan and said, "Father, what's wrong? Does the Minister's wife not welcome me and the young master?"
Liu Wenyuan's face darkened, and he glared at Li Shi: "What nonsense are you spouting! Quickly apologize to the Princess Consort!"
Li was unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but Liu Wenyuan stopped her with a look.
She bit her lip and forced a smile: "I misspoke, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Liu Chenchen persisted, saying calmly, "Father, the mistress of the Minister's mansion should be gentle, dignified, and capable of managing the household. If she truly cannot bear the responsibility of this position..."
She paused, then gave Li a meaningful look: "I wouldn't mind having someone else as my legal mother. What difference does it make who's the stepmother? Who says a stepmother isn't a mother?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall gasped in shock.
Aunt Sun's face turned deathly pale.
She never expected Liu Chenchen to say such a thing, and she never expected her to publicly show such indifference towards her birth mother.
Liu Wenyuan was also taken aback by these words.
He stared at Liu Chenchen for a long time, and suddenly realized that this daughter was no longer the illegitimate daughter who was bullied by everyone.
Even so, so what? She's still Liu Wenyuan's daughter, isn't she?
"Liu Chenchen, watch your tone of voice."
He seemed to have a good opinion of himself, but unfortunately, Liu Chenchen was too lazy to pay attention to his self-congratulation.
As for Aunt Sun, who was standing next to Minister Liu and was Liu Chenchen's birth mother, she didn't even bother to glance at her.
