Chapter 321 - Farce at the Wedding Night in the Duke Zhenguos Manor (1/2)

Shuangyun Court was the place that Sima Lingyun prepared specially for Yun Yiqiu. The name of the court could tell what it meant.

In Sima Lingyun’s arms, Yun Yiqiu frowned slightly and looked a little uncomfortable. Sima Lingyun rubbed her belly gently and coaxed, “Qiu’er, are you feeling well now? Is it still hurt?”

“Cousin, I’m okay. I just walked so fast that I got a pain in my belly.” Yun Yiqiu nestled against Sima Lingyun’s chest and answered softly. She held Sima Lingyun’s hands and said sadly with crystal eyes, “Cousin, you should go to see your wife, and don’t let her find you here with me…”

Yun Yiqiu would never forget that b**ch who dared to have a tryst with cousin. That s.l.u.t had entangled cousin into a perplex relations.h.i.+p before marrying cousin, and now she did marry her cousin and tried to suppress me as the legal wife. Thinking about how arrogant the woman used to be, Yu Yiqiu would not let cousin leave tonight, and a glint of insidiousness flashed in her eyes.

“Today, I will make the woman stay alone in the vacant room and see if she dares to swagger before me!

“Just at the wedding night, her husband has disregarded her. Mo Xuemin is unable to keep her chin up from now on. Thus, she would not dare to put on airs as a legal wife in front of me!”

The love and admiration shown by the sick beautiful woman lit up Sima Lingyun’s gloomy mood, and made him feel warm.

He touched her head and snorted coldly, “What a s.l.u.t! No one knows how many people she has slept with! Dare to hope to be my wife! Doesn’t she know herself?”

Thinking of the various disgraceful rumors about Mo Xuemin, the ambiguous relations.h.i.+p between Mo Xuemin and You Yuecheng, Mo Xuemin and Li Youmo, Mo Xuemin and Yu Mingyong… Sima Lingyun could not help getting angry. Today, he married the cheapest woman in the capital, but he had to pretend to be happy all day long in others’ presence. Although those n.o.ble young masters did not speak it openly, their eyes betrayed them and said they were here for a show.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt sick!

As for Mo Xuemin, he had no intention of treating her as his real wife from the moment when their marriage had been settled.

A loud noise rang outside. Before Yun Yiqiu replied, the door was kicked open.

Mo Xuemin dressed in a red embroidered dress stood at the door, and her face turned livid with rage. Her eyes moved from Sima Lingyun to Yun Yiqiu. The sight of the bewitching face made Mo Xuemin recall the unpleasant night, and she almost rushed up to tear that delicate face.

“Sima Lingyun, who is she?” Mo Xuemin snapped.

“Cousin…” Yun Yiqiu shuddered and huddled herself into Sima Lingyun’s arms with a terrified look.

Feeling the delicate woman s.h.i.+vering, Sima Lingyun patted her on the back to comfort her and raised his head to say in a sullen tone, “Come here and see. This is Qiu’er. She comes to the family earlier than you. So in the future, you two should discuss the things in the manor together and share my burden.”

“Comes to the family earlier, the things in the mansion, you two should discuss…”

Mo Xuemin glared at them more coldly. Sima Lingyun dared to bring his cousin into the manor ahead of me! And judging from his words, he even intended to elevate her to enjoy the equal status as me and asked them two to discuss with each other.

The veins on Mo Xuemin’s forehead popped. She remembered what Sima Lingyun had told her in the past that he planned to bring Mo Xuetong into the manor, and when the Duke Zhenguo’s manor was rejuvenated, he would divorce Mo Xuetong immediately and marry her. He even promised that he would not have any concubines, because having her was enough!

That was one of the important reasons that Mo Xuemin came around and agreed to marry Sima Lingyun.

But out of her expectation, on her wedding day, Sima Lingyun had already brought a new woman into his backyard. He seemed to have forgotten his commitment to her. But Mo Xuemin herself had also forgotten her past love affairs, instead, she just vented all her anger to Yun Yiqiu. All in Mo Xuemin’s mind was that the woman in front seduced Sima Lingyun by dirty means and made him forget her!

At the thought that when she had been locked in the house by her father and not allowed to go out, Sima Lingyun had pleasure with the woman in his manor, Mo Xuemin clenched her fists in the sleeves. Her mind was crowded with her being locked, Auntie Fang’s being adrift, and her elder brother’s being imprisoned… All of the things were caused for a.s.sisting Sima Lingyun.

“Sima Lingyun, you promised me that after marrying me, you would not have any concubines or other women.” She said resentfully, stressing each word.

Sima Lingyun did promise to her, but he just wanted to curry her favor and pleased her ears. And he did plan to make use of Mo Xuetong to get promoted, and then get rid of Mo Xuetong and marry Mo Xuemin at last. It could also fulfill his dream. However, at that time, Mo Xuemin was a gentle and virtuous lady, totally different from what she was now, a loathsome and discredited woman.

“Cousin, will you abandon Qiu’er?” Yun Yiqiu clenched Sima Lingyun’s clothes and asked timidly. Her watery eyes turned a bit reddish. She bit her lips, and tears dropped out of her eyes instantly. She looked at him helplessly, as if they were going to part forever, and said, “If cousin doesn’t want Qiu’er, Qiu’er has no way but to…”

She even choked with sadness and burst into tears.

The pretty sick woman was sobbing tenderly. How could thrusting Mo Xuemin compare to her? Today, Mo Xuemin wore heavy makeup which made her beautiful face ghastly and disgustingly white. Obviously, delicate and charming Yun Yiqiu gained the upper hand.

“Qiu’er, don’t cry. How can I abandon you? No matter where you go, I will keep you by my side. See, don’t cry, as it is bad for your body, and my heart will ache for you.” Sima Lingyun lowered his head and comforted her gently. He wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes, totally ignoring Mo Xuemin as if the woman had not stood there.

“Yun Yiqiu, I am talking to His Excellency. How can you, a humble concubine, intervene our talk? How can the great Duke Zhenguo’s manor not discipline a concubine?” Staring at Yun Yiqiu, Mo Xuemin chipped up slightly with commanding eyes and asked severely.

“She’s not a humble concubine, but a n.o.ble concubine. After she gives birth, Mother said she would let Qiu’er enjoy the same status as a wife. So you should not put on airs as a matriarch in front of her.” Sima Lingyun said to Mo Xuemin impatiently, as he saw Yun Yiqiu being bullied and crying sadly in his arms.

“n.o.ble concubine, enjoy the same status as a wife, child…
