Lin Xi Was Despised by Everyone

The old nanny beside her whispered, "Madam, the master said you should speak less today."

Madam Chen gave a wry smile and said, "Fine! I'll see just how lucky this girl is."

The next day was their wedding day, and Lin Yue was still quite worried. "I haven't prepared anything, not even a wedding dress. What am I going to do?"

The maidservant beside her smiled and said, "Don't you know? In our village, weddings and births are all arranged uniformly, so you don't need to worry. The wedding dress and everything else have been prepared."

Sure enough, a maid came in carrying a wedding dress, and there were also people behind her who were specifically there to do her hair and makeup.

Even the people of Quanfu were well prepared.

Lin Yue changed into her wedding dress, wearing an exquisite golden crown, and slowly stood in front of the bronze mirror.

Looking at her refreshed self in the mirror, she sighed softly, "So beautiful. I never imagined our village had such comprehensive marriage customs."

The woman serving nearby smiled and chimed in:

"This is all because our young lady is kind and generous."

She had long ago given instructions that no matter who in the village was getting married, they should be provided with a decent wedding dress.

All the jewelry on your head and body was a special gift from the young lady, as a dowry for you.

Two streams of hot tears slid down Lin Yue's cheeks.

The man with the best fortune standing nearby quickly stepped forward and advised, "Young lady, please don't be like this. On such a joyous occasion, you mustn't shed tears!"

Lin Yue's voice was choked with emotion:

I just feel incredibly lucky.

I used to think that I would just drift through life aimlessly.

I never imagined I'd meet a lady like that, let alone that things would turn out this way.

Quanfuren said with a smile:

"You're not the only one who says that; everyone in our village says the same thing."

The young lady told us that women also have dignity and must live authentically.

She said everyone has their own strengths, so we all earn money with our own hands.

Sometimes, the women in the village earn just as much as the men.

Lin Yue asked longingly, "Can I visit the village sometime? I'm quite curious; you all keep talking about Black Wind Stronghold, but I've never been there."

Quanfuren smiled faintly and said:

"You're now a member of Black Wind Stronghold!"

"Of course you can go. Alright, the wedding procession has arrived. Let's quickly put the veil on."

Just as she put on the veil, Lin Xi barged in with several people.

She looked at Lin Yue and said:

"Sister, how have you been? You seem to be doing quite well."

I heard that the betrothal gifts were forty-eight loads, and your dowry was sixty-eight loads. What right do you have to receive these?

Lin Yue looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Weren't you at the nunnery? How did you get out?"

Lin Xi laughed loudly, "You were clearly the one in the room that day. You ruined me."

Lin Yue looked at her and said, "Who exactly wants to ruin whom?"

Lin Xi looked at her and said:

"Look, I'm wearing a wedding dress today too, and it looks even better than yours!"

Chen Ankang should be mine; don't even think about marrying him.

You're only good enough to marry Huo Lingchuan, that bastard. You're the perfect match for him.

Lin Yue looked at her and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Your people are all under my control. It's a switcheroo; I'll marry Chen Ankang in your place, and you'll go to the Huo Family."

Lin Yue shouted, "You're crazy! Didn't you refuse to marry Chen Ankang? What are you doing now?"

Lin Xi laughed heartily, tears streaming down her face.

Do you think I want to do this? What choice do I have?

The Huo Family doesn't want me anymore, but Huo Lingchuan said this is my only chance.

If I marry Chen Ankang, the Chen Family will have no choice but to acknowledge the situation and swallow this bitter pill.

Your betrothal gifts and dowry have all become mine, sister, you should take a good rest!

Lin Yue fainted immediately.

Lin Xi pinched her chin and said, "Sister, in the end, I still won!"

Soon, the two were carried onto the bridal sedan chair.

One was carried to the Chen Family, and the other to the Huo Family.

After a while, Lin Yue slowly woke up. Just as she was about to speak, she heard her maid say, "Miss Lin, it's alright. We're going to the Chen Family now."

Lin Yue asked softly, "What exactly is going on? What does Lin Xi want to do?"

The maid sneered:

"She naturally wanted to switch the goods, but she didn't even consider her own abilities. Our young lady is incredibly resourceful."

I knew she was going to do this. Now I'm quite curious, after she and Huo Lingchuan have gone through their wedding ceremony, what will Huo Lingchuan be like?

Lin Yue felt a little more at ease. When they arrived at the Chen Family, Chen Ankang whispered in her ear, "Don't panic, everything is arranged."

Everything is perfectly normal here.

The Huo Family also quickly held their wedding ceremony. Huo Lingchuan drank a lot of alcohol outside and stumbled into the room.

He sat down next to the bride and said:

"Lin Yue, I'm here. Didn't expect you'd marry me, did you? Hahaha..."

Why are you still fast asleep? It's alright if you're asleep, you've already done what you were supposed to do.

You won't be able to escape my grasp tomorrow.

I'm really curious now, what kind of expression will Chen Ankang have if he sees that the bride has been changed?

Hahaha..."

Huo Lingchuan immediately extinguished the candles and hugged Lin Yue...

Chen Ankang looked at Lin Yue and said, "Yueyue, I've waited for you for so many years, and I've finally waited for you."

Lin Yue blushed and asked, "Chen Ankang, do we know each other before?"

Chen Ankang looked at her and said, "Do you still remember that Brother Kang?"

Lin Yue looked at him and said, "It's you? That chubby boy? No, no, I mean that older brother."

Chen Ankang chuckled softly and said, "Yes! Yueyue, I really like you."

The pace on both sides is quite the same.

The next day, Huo Lingchuan felt refreshed. He opened his eyes, looked at the bride, and then screamed "Ah!"

Lin Xi opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Huo Lingchuan grabbed Lin Xi by the neck and said, "You damned woman, how did you end up in my bed?"

Lin Xi looked at Huo Lingchuan innocently and said:

"Why you? It shouldn't be! It should be Chen Ankang, sob sob..."

Where exactly did things go wrong?

Huo Lingchuan sneered, "Lin Xi, there's no way I'll marry you. Forget about it!"

The two of them argued constantly, and on the very first day, they were already talking about getting a divorce.

But Lin Xi would never agree to that.

Chen Ankang and Zhou Wanwan came to visit again.

Huo Lingchuan refused to let them in.

Zhou Wanwan sat on a branch of the Old Scholar Tree, watching the chickens and dogs running wild in the yard, laughing uncontrollably.

Lin Xi was universally disliked; Madam Huo fainted from anger the moment she saw her.

When Lord Huo saw Lin Xi, his face turned green. "Huo Lingchuan, didn't you say you were going to marry Lin Yue? Why are you marrying Lin Xi instead?"

Huo Lingchuan said with a face full of despair, "How am I supposed to know what this woman is up to?"

Lin Xi scoffed coldly, "You think I wanted to marry you? I don't even know what's going on."

"Then let's get a divorce."

Lin Xi laughed loudly, "Do you think I'm stupid? Divorcing on the very first day I married into this family? Do you want the Upper Capital City to know we're a joke?"
