Chapter 2644: A Triangular Exchange
Lu Mingxuan said calmly, “I am not that foolish this time.”
“I will definitely become the princess consort of Prince Chen,” Lu Mingxuan said.
“Congratulations once again, Sister.” Ning Shu bowed and took her leave.
So many things happened in the Lu family’s small space, it was truly overwhelming.
Lu Yuanfan marrying Lu Mingxuan to Shen Yichen probably had a warning implied in it.
Ning Shu had just been there to watch the show and ended up having to change her name and age.
The names of the three non-legitimate daughters formed a triangular exchange, with the eldest becoming the third, the third becoming the fourth, and the fourth becoming the eldest.
It truly left one speechless.
“Miss, if the second miss and Prince Chen have also already been intimate, what should we do if the second miss doesn’t marry Prince Chen?” Yuan Xiang asked, looking confused.
“Second Sister is a proud person. It’s normal for her to not be able to accept things right now,” Ning Shu said calmly.
Yuan Xiang pouted and said, “Miss is only ten years old now.”
“Well, that’s good. I’ve become younger,” Ning Shu said with some sorrow.
“But when you reach the age of fifteen, you’ll be a grown woman, an old maid!” Yuan Xiang said anxiously.
“I’m only ten now. Who would know that I’m an old maid by the time I come of age?” Ning Shu said indifferently.
Yuan Xiang nodded. “That’s true…”
“Go to Second Sister’s courtyard and gather some information,” Ning Shu took out some silver coins and handed them to Yuan Xiang. “Be careful and stay safe.”
Yuan Xiang nodded and took the purse.
Ning Shu picked up her embroidery and continued stitching. This time, she was embroidering lotus flowers which were vivid and lifelike.
Able to handle things as heavy as an axe and wield even something so delicate as a needle, she was a woman with both literary and martial skills. Bwahahahaha…
Yuan Xiang came back with no information and shook her head at Ning Shu. “There’s no news.”
“No news? So peaceful?” Ning Shu was somewhat surprised. “No need to worry about it then.”
How could Lu Junning possibly remain so calm? Despite her usual appearance of having emotional baggage, Shen Yichen was truly a loyal and affectionate man. If she were to truly lose him, Lu Junning would definitely be heartbroken.
In any case, she was always mysteriously and abnormally stubborn in front of Shen Yichen. It was like she felt that Shen Yichen should always wholeheartedly protect her. Otherwise, how could he eliminate the turmoil and unease in her heart? Otherwise, how could he enter her heart?
The reason why she was still being so obstinate was clearly because she felt that Shen Yichen wouldn’t really abandon her. She would wait for Shen Yichen to apologize, and then it would be “I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen!” again…
Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered with these people’s love, hate, and entanglements.
Lu Yuanfan was probably traumatized from the last incident where there was a substitute bride because Ning Shu’s courtyard was guarded as well.
Lu Mingxuan’s courtyard was even more heavily guarded, in fear of a repeat incident.
The Lu family’s reputation was already so tarnished, they really couldn’t afford any more trouble.
Lu Yuanfan felt like he was living with his face in his crotch.
Lu Yuanfan set a date, and it was quite rushed. He went to ask Shen Yichen for his opinion.
Shen Yichen had no opinion at all and didn’t care.
So Lu Yuanfan had red lanterns hung up at home.
As the wedding approached, the atmosphere in the Lu residence became more and more strange. Lu Mingxuan’s courtyard was guarded, and no one was allowed to enter.
Lu Yuanfan once again asked Lu Junning if she wanted to marry over as well. Lu Junning’s face instantly changed, and she said coldly, “Father, can you stop insulting me? Serve the same husband as Lu Mingxuan? I can’t do it.”
In her previous life, Lu Mingxuan had snatched her husband, and now in this life, she still had to share a husband with Lu Mingxuan. Was there anything more ironic than this?
“How am I insulting you? Haven’t you already had an intimate relationship with Prince Chen?”
