Quickly wear a child: The heirless bosses love me like their life

After Liu Mingjie won the first place in the imperial examination, he was appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. However, because he was busy preparing for his marriage with Princess Hua'an, he took a leave of absence for half a month. Therefore, he was unaware of Jiang Dai's "massacre" at the court this morning.

All we know about the goddess is limited to the few words spoken by the guests.

Hearing Jiang Dai's words, he looked puzzled and asked:

"A wedding full of lies? Why do you say that, Goddess?"

Jiang Dai curled his lips and chuckled.

"I heard that the number one scholar came from a poor family. He relied on his family to sell everything they had and persevere. Fortunately, God rewards those who work hard. After nearly twenty years of hard work, it can be said that his hard work has paid off."

"Afterwards, when they were riding horses in the streets, he fell in love with Princess Hua An at first sight. A few days later, he asked His Majesty to grant him a marriage. Many unmarried men and women were extremely envious."

"I thought so before, but today I met Mr. Liu..."

Jiang Dai glanced up and down at Liu Mingjie with a sarcastic smile on his face.

“…I now understand what it means that most righteous people are butchers, and the most heartless are scholars.”

The conversation between the two had already attracted the attention of many people, who approached inconspicuously and eavesdropped with their ears perked up.

Jiang Dai was also very sensible. He looked at Liu Mingjie with a frown on his face and raised his voice.

"Liu Zhuangyuan's parents and brothers are ordinary farmers. Because there are so many people in the family, they can't even have enough food every day. Liu Zhuangyuan can be where he is today, but he should thank your child bride. If it weren't for her hard work to earn money to support your studies, how could Liu Zhuangyuan be where he is today?"

Suddenly, she paused and continued:

"Oh, look at me, I forgot that Liu Zhuangyuan had already thanked your child bride."

"But Liu Zhuangyuan's way of thanking you is really unique. In order to marry the princess, he gave her a letter of divorce and even kicked the penniless child bride out of the house. Tsk tsk."

"Liu Zhuangyuan has made up his mind, thinking that the other party is just an orphan girl, who has been ill from overwork and can't do anything to you and your Liu family?"

At this moment, Liu Mingjie was confused and shocked, and the guests around him looked at Liu Mingjie in disbelief.

Looking at this top scholar with a dignified appearance and a gentlemanly appearance, who could have thought that he could do such a thing!

But how did the goddess know this? Could it be that she really has a divine eye...

"Your Excellency the Goddess is slandering me. I have never had a child bride. I don't know where you heard this nonsense from!"

"In short, I can swear that my feelings for the princess are evident to all heaven and earth!"

Liu Mingjie retorted excitedly, but his clenched fists and slightly widened eyes revealed his guilty conscience.

Just when Jiang Dai was about to serve Liu Mingjie a lightning-struck meal, Pei Yanli on the side spoke.

His voice was gloomy, and even through the ribbon, you could feel the coldness emanating from his eyes.

"Whether it's true or not, we can find out by sending someone to check it out."

"A child bride is such a big deal. Even if Liu Zhuangyuan's family wants to deny it, there will always be people around the village who know about it."

"I heard that Liu Zhuangyuan's hometown is in Yongzhou. It just so happens that I have something to do recently, so I have to send someone to Yongzhou to investigate. It would be convenient for me to bring Liu Zhuangyuan's parents and relatives over as well."

"After all, it's a bit regrettable that Liu Zhuangyuan's parents didn't show up for such an important event as their son's wedding."

"I hope that what Liu Zhuangyuan said is true. Otherwise... deceiving the princess and His Majesty is a heinous crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of his clan..."

Although he expressed regret, Pei Yan really wanted to strangle Liu Mingjie to death.

He had been wondering before who Jiang Dai’s previous cheap husband was, but now he finally knew.

In that case, he must support his woman!

When Liu Mingjie heard this, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

The fact that the Liu family drove Ye Zhenzhen away would not stand up to investigation at all. Moreover, he knew that his parents and brothers were only capable of bullying others at home. They would probably confess before they could last even a stick of incense in the Dali Temple!

What should I do? Should I admit it now, or should I delay it for a while...

While Liu Mingjie was struggling, Princess Hua An, dressed in her wedding gown, hurried over and said:

"Uncle, there is no need to be so aggressive. I know everything about Liu Lang's child bride. It was I who asked Liu Lang to drive her away. After all, I am a princess and I cannot share a husband with an orphan girl! At most, I can give her some money as compensation..."

It turned out that it was the servants of the princess's mansion who tipped off Princess Hua An, so she rushed to the rescue.

But judging from the fact that she glared at Liu Mingjie several times, Princess Hua An was obviously unaware of Ye Zhenzhen's affairs. She said this only to protect Liu Mingjie.

Jiang Dai's expression seemed to be smiling but not laughing.

"What the princess said makes sense, but a mere orphan girl cannot compare to the preciousness of a princess."

"However, how much money does the princess plan to give as compensation? After all, a champion scholar is worth a lot of money. If you give less, outsiders will probably think that the princess is stingy, and they will also think that champion Liu is just so-so in the princess' heart..."

Princess Hua An, who was originally planning to casually mention a few dozen taels of silver, glared at Jiang Dai viciously.

She knew that this woman was not a good person! When she returned to the palace in two days, she would have a good talk with her brother.

"Then, give her one thousand taels. I'm sure that orphan girl has never seen so much money in her life!"

Princess Hua'an raised her chin and spoke in a condescending tone.

Jiang Dai immediately applauded.

"Princess Hua An is indeed rich. One thousand taels of gold is given out as soon as she is told. In that case, Princess Hua An should prepare the one thousand taels of gold now."

Princess Huaan looked angry.

"I'm talking about one thousand taels of silver..."

Jiang Dai looked surprised and his eyes swept over Princess Hua An's head.

"I heard that a hairpin that the princess wears on a daily basis costs five hundred taels of silver. How come Liu Zhuangyuan, as the princess's consort, can't even afford two hairpins?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Huaan and Liu Mingjie's faces both twisted.

In the end, Princess Hua An gritted her teeth and admitted that the one thousand taels were gold.

but……

"Your Excellency the Goddess should mind your own business. I will send someone to deliver the 1,000 taels of gold to that orphan girl on a chosen day. You don't need to worry about it!"

Princess Hua'an glared at Jiang Dai and was just about to point her finger at her nose and scold her for meddling in other people's business.

One thousand taels of gold, that is not a small amount, and she is also very painful!

Jiang Dai curled his lips and smiled.

"I forgot to introduce myself. Before I was enlightened by the gods, I was just a mortal."

"What's even more coincidental is that my name is Ye Zhenzhen, which is the same as the name of Liu Zhuangyuan's child bride. Liu Zhuangyuan, do you think we are destined to be together?"

Jiang Dai looked at Liu Mingjie, with a slightly cold smile in his eyes.

Liu Mingjie looked up in surprise.

Now he finally understood why he always felt that this goddess looked familiar, because she was the child bride who was driven out of the house after he divorced her!

Pei Yanli, who was standing by, felt jealous and said coldly:

"It's just a bad fate. Your Excellency the Goddess should look for other fates."

Like him.
