After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite
Chapter 55: Just a Show
Song Nihuan looked at Mrs. Jiang coldly, knowing very well that this woman was greedy and would ask for money more than once.
She asked for a huge sum of money the first time, obviously because she had heard that she and Xie Yunji were in love and knew that she was afraid of having a rift with Xie Yunji, so she dared to ask for a huge sum of five thousand taels!
Madam Jiang threatened to marry in place of her husband simply to prove that she cared about Xie Yunji and her status as the eldest wife of the Xie family.
Song Nihuan was not stupid, so she would never be held in such a position. She looked at her calmly and said, "Madam, are you treating me as a cash cow? Five thousand taels, I have never seen so much silver in my life. I don't know who told Madam such a number. How about this, don't worry about how I get these five thousand taels..."
She walked a few steps closer to Madam Jiang, smiled slyly, and said, "When the time comes, we can take half of the money, okay?"
"If I hadn't promised to marry your daughter off in order to repay your life-saving grace, I would have run away long ago! Now that I'm married to Mr. Xie, I've repaid you, right? Anyway, I didn't want to stay in the Xie Mansion for a long time. How about this, you and I work together to extort Mr. Xie a sum of money, take five thousand taels, and then we each go our separate ways, and neither of us owes anyone anything!" Song Nihuan acted like a fool, lifted up her bright red skirt, and leaned lazily in the armchair, "Madam Jiang, what do you say?"
Madam Jiang was indeed very surprised and asked, "What are you talking about? Don't you have any feelings for Mr. Xie?"
Seeing Mrs. Jiang's panic, Song Nihuan knew that this bargaining was a sure thing. As long as she could make her believe that she didn't care about Xie Yunji, everything would be simple.
If they expose the substitutionary marriage, they will certainly not be able to escape unscathed, so what's the point?
Thinking of this, Song Nihuan calmed down.
Outside the window, the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras gradually rose. She put on makeup, tied her hair, and changed into her new wedding dress layer by layer. It was obviously a happy day, but she had to spend so much effort to deal with this woman. She couldn't help feeling sad. She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes covered the true emotions in her eyes.
In her mind was Xie Yunji's gentle and calm face. She wanted to protect her marriage and live a peaceful life with her beloved husband...
Things that cannot be known to him must be kept to oneself forever.
Song Nihuan pursed her lips and smiled. That smile had a kind of fragile beauty. She said slowly, "Where does the affection come from? I have no feelings for him. It's just a casual act."
On the other side of the wall, the groom, who was dressed in vermilion auspicious clothes and looked elegant and stunning, looked gloomy, his eardrums rumbling, and he stood there woodenly, like a lifeless stone statue.
Originally, he went to find Madam Wei to tell her that Princess Le Yi would be coming soon. He wanted to ask Madam Wei to keep Le Yi calm. However, Madam Wei, whether trying to please him deliberately or not, tipped him off that Madam Jiang was having a secret conversation with Song Nihuan in her courtyard.
He became uneasy, fearing that Madam Jiang would embarrass him, and hurried over, but unexpectedly he heard such heartbreaking words from her!
He really wanted to cut her heart out and see what it looked like!
Or does she have no heart at all!?
How dare she tease him like this!
She waited for him deliberately in the corridor and even threw herself into his arms. All those gentle smiles and dependence were actually fake.
Just a phrase like "it's just a joke" can make him go around in circles!
He felt chilled to the bone. He had clearly changed his ways and treated her sincerely, but she didn't have any sincerity towards him at all!
Xie Yunji's face was calm, but a bloody and violent rage was surging in his chest. It was low and dark, and he almost felt crazy.
The calculations in the room were still going on. Song Nihuan's voice was somewhat excited. She said with a sweet smile, "What do you think, Madam? I don't want to stay in this Xie Mansion for even a day! Or do you think five thousand taels is too little? Considering my current value in his heart, I think it wouldn't be a problem to ask for ten thousand taels."
"Don't make this plan. If you run away, what will happen if the Xie family asks us for you? Okay, okay, five thousand taels is too much. How much can you give?" Mrs. Jiang was discouraged, but decided to ask for it bit by bit. After all, this was not a one-time deal. If she asked for too much, there would be no next time.
"Five hundred." She said with difficulty, "This is all the money I can move without alerting others. Not a penny more."
Mrs. Jiang pinched her nose and said, "Okay, five hundred is five hundred."
Xie Yunji didn't know how he walked away. Every step he took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The congratulations and auspicious words of blessing in his ears became extremely harsh.
He indulged her too much, allowing her to trample on his heart so recklessly!
He must have been seriously ill, and he had totally abandoned his original idea of approaching her and actually married her!
Actually, it was nothing. He had deceived and schemed against her in the beginning. Her schemes were nothing compared to what he had done to her. Now it was just a tit-for-tat.
It's hard to describe the feeling of overwhelming despair. When people are in despair, they seem to attribute everything to the cycle of cause and effect.
The sun had set and dusk was falling. The festive red color of the entire Xie Mansion seemed bleak and desolate to him.
Xie Yunji slumped his shoulders and held onto a tree trunk beside him. After a brief pain in his heart, he could no longer breathe.
"Master Xie?" Someone came from behind and supported him. "What happened?"
Princess Le Yi was looking for him everywhere when she saw a young man under a tree wearing a bright red auspicious suit. He was dazzlingly handsome, truly a unique and outstanding man.
Xie Yunji looked back and saw Le Yi standing in the sunset glow, her outfit made of brocade forming an extremely luxurious outfit, as if she wanted to compete with the bride.
It just looks really garish and annoying.
"Greetings, Princess." Xie Yunji bowed and saluted, "It's fine. Princess, please go to the front hall. Someone will greet you."
After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave, but Le Yi grabbed him and said, "Why, now that you are going to be someone else's bridegroom, you won't even talk to me? Have you forgotten what I told you that day?"
Xie Yunji's mouth sank slightly, and he clenched his fists in his sleeves to control his anger that was about to explode. He was already mad with anger at what Song Nihuan said, and she was going to force him even when he was still angry!
He collected his thoughts and sighed, "I haven't forgotten. Today is my wedding day. Please, Princess..."
Unexpectedly, Le Yi interrupted him with a flash of collapse on her face, "Stop talking! Stop talking! I know you are getting married today, I know! After the wedding, you will belong to another woman! What you said about looking for me when you are tired of her, you are just lying to me! You just love her, if you didn't love her, how could you plan like this, plan to sacrifice yourself and still not care at all!?"
Xie Yunji was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Why did the princess say this? What do you want to hear from me? Do you want me to say that I am right and that I love her just like this? Do you want to ignore everything for her? Do you want to let go even at this point?"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yunji stopped talking dejectedly. He was surprised by the last sentence he said.
His answer was unexpected. Princess Le Yi wanted to hear him comfort her, but he looked so hopeless and heartbroken.
Xie Yunji has always been as extraordinary as the bright moon in the sky. Even though he is in a state of despair, his merits outweigh his flaws. It's a pity that such a man does not belong to her!
I would rather have a prostitute than be her prince consort!
Le Yi felt pained, and threw herself forward without caring about anything else, sobbing uncontrollably, "No, you are not allowed to say that! Are you hurting my heart? I don't allow you to love her..."
