Chapter 2646: Works of Art!
“Go back to your courtyard. There are too many outsiders here. Behave and stay in your courtyard,” Lu Yuanfan was afraid that this daughter would also end up losing her purity before marriage.
He really couldn’t take any more.
Ning Shu bowed and returned to her own courtyard. She could still hear the bustling activity in the front courtyard.
Ning Shu took out her embroidery and continued to work. Now that she had embroidered for quite a while, she found it quite interesting.
When she embroidered, she was completely focused. It was just like meditation, it cleared her head.
Yuan Xiang poured tea for Ning Shu and watched her embroider.
“Miss’s embroidery skills are excellent now. The dowry you embroider will surely be beautiful,” Yuan Xiang said with a smile.
Ning Shu nodded, “Indeed, these are works of art!”
Three days after Lu Mingxuan’s marriage, she returned to her family as the princess consort of Prince Chen. Lu Mingxuan looked very majestic, dressed in luxurious attire, and accompanied by several maids.
There was joy on her face, indicating that she had adapted well to her new identity as the princess consort of Prince Chen.
When Lu Mingxuan saw Ning Shu, she handed her a large red envelope.
It contained a pair of earrings that were exquisitely crafted.
Ning Shu accepted it.
In contrast to the jubilant Lu Mingxuan, Shen Yichen had a dark expression on his face, looking nothing like a newlywed.
But it made sense. How could he be happy when he didn’t marry the woman he loved?
Lu Junning arrived slowly, and when Shen Yichen saw her, his eyes lit up. However, Lu Junning completely ignored him.
Lu Mingxuan had no reaction to this sight and pulled Ning Shu aside to talk.
Ning Shu felt that Lu Mingxuan had no feelings for Shen Yichen. At most, she just wanted to secure her position as the princess consort of Prince Chen.
This was Shen Yichen and Lu Mingxuan’s first visit after getting married, so as custom dictated, they stayed for lunch.
Shen Yichen couldn’t help but keep looking at Lu Junning, but she never looked back, maintaining a cold expression.
This made Shen Yichen’s expression turn dim.
To be honest, seeing their complicated relationship made Ning Shu lose her appetite. Their overly dramatic displays of a tumultuous love story were unappetizing.
Why couldn’t they just communicate openly? All their misunderstandings started with “I thought.”
“I thought you knew what I was thinking in my heart…”
Lu Yuanfan, sitting at the head of the table, observed them with a furrowed brow.
It was customary for the newlyweds to spend the night at the bride’s family home during their first visit, and Shen Yichen was willing to do so.
He tried multiple times to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Junning, but she always responded with a cold demeanor.
Finally, Shen Yichen found a moment alone with her. Just as he mustered up the courage to speak, Lu Junning bluntly said, “We’re done.”
“You married the person I despise and hate the most. You can’t still be thinking that you want a relationship with me?” Lu Junning suppressed her emotions and spoke.
Shen Yichen suddenly didn’t know what to say.
“Husband…” Lu Mingxuan approached, reaching out to hold Shen Yichen’s arm and said, “Husband, I’ve been looking for you everywhere. What were you talking about with Second Sister?”
Lu Junning looked at the two of them leaning on each other and silently cursed ‘cheating bastard.’
“Nothing,” Shen Yichen answered coldly.
Lu Mingxuan smiled even brighter, “Actually, even if there were something, I wouldn’t mind. It’s normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Second Sister, if you truly like Prince Chen, I can make the decision to let you enter Prince Chen’s residence.”
“No need. I, Lu Junning, would never stoop so low as to become someone’s concubine. I am the legitimate daughter of the Lu family and the granddaughter of the Grand General’s household. How could I possibly be a concubine?” Lu Junning’s anger grew as she spoke.
“Even if you offer me the position of princess consort of Prince Chen, I still won’t enter Prince Chen’s residence!”
Lu Mingxuan laughed, “Second Sister, remember, these are your own words. If you go back on your vow, the heavens will strike you with thunder and lightning, reducing you to ashes.”
