Chapter 713: Rather Be a Poor Man’s Wife than a Noble Concubine
After thinking about it, it was clear that the only person who would encourage her to do this was Chen Xinlu. She even tried to get her own sister into trouble. She really was courting disaster!
When Chen Xinlu heard Feng Tianlan said that she was engaged, she was dumbfounded. “Who is it?”
“You don’t have to know.” Feng Tianlan didn’t feel like elaborating. She then turned around and prepared to leave.
Chen Xinyi trotted forward. She then spread her arms and blocked Feng Tianlan’s path as she looked at her aggrievedly with her reddish eyes. “Is it Mei’er or Xiao Xiao?”
“None of your business.” Feng Tianlan wanted to walk past her, however, Chen Xinyi moved and blocked her path once again. She had no other choice but to look at Chen Xinyi coldly. “Miss Chen. A lady like you should consider your reputation.”
Stubbornly, Chen Xinyi asked, “Since you are engaged, why do you still joke around with Mei’er and Xiao Xiao and even sleep in the same bed as them?”
Feng Tianlan was dumbfounded. Sleeping in the same bed? They only shared the same room.
Sleeping in the same bed?
If Mobai were to know about this, they would get beaten up very badly!
Chen Xinyi thought that she had figured out what she was thinking. She bit her lips and said. “I don’t really care about the two of them. I can serve you together with them, since a man is supposed to have several wives.”
Compared to getting married to someone she didn’t like and having to share her husband with other women, she preferred marrying the person she liked.
Feng Tianlan looked at Chen Xinyi. She was speechless. After a while, she said, “Miss Chen, as the eldest direct daughter of the Chen Family, you should have heard of the saying ‘rather be a poor man’s wife than a noble concubine’.”
Chen Xinyi nodded, but she then said anxiously, “However, for you, I don’t mind. I can be share the direct wife title with your fiancée.”
Feng Tianlan couldn’t describe her current feelings. The words that she had said to Chen Xinyi along their journey could be counted with her fingers. Why had Chen Xinyi had the thought of getting married to her? This was just…
She really couldn’t describe how she was fweling right not.
“I am the eldest direct daughter of the Chen Family; therefore I couldn’t be a concubine. However, I can share my title as Master Shen’s direct wife for your sake. I don’t know who she is, but I will be better than her. I will be gentler and more virtuous than her. However, if you want to compare me to Mei’er…”
Chen Xinyi bit her lips and continued, “If you want me to be like Mei’er, I can learn.”
Feng Tianlan glanced at her with surprise. She didn’t want to say anything. She just wanted to walk past her and leave this place. These words were just…
Indescribable!
Chen Xinyi blocked Feng Tianlan’s path and said anxiously. “Master Shen. The Chen Family can even lend you a helping hand and make sure you have a bright future.”
“Miss Chen…”
Chen Xinyi interrupted her. “Master Shen, I have done this much. Are these not enough?” She had been nursing so much grievance. This was her limit.
Feng Tianlan looked at Chen Xinyi who was biting her lower lips with eyes brimming with tears. She really couldn’t describe how she was feeling.
“Miss Chen, a lady must have self-respect. How could you do this for a…” Feng Tianlan paused. “How could you be so compromising?”
After hearing these words, Chen Xinyi couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She then said weakly, “I do it because I like you.”
She was the eldest direct daughter of the Chen Family. Therefore, she was still rather proud and arrogant. However, when she saw Master Shen not saying a single word to her these few days, her pride and arrogance had dissipated.
Feng Tianlan rejected her straightforwardly in an indifferent tone. “I am sorry. I am engaged. Besides, I don’t like you. Miss Chen, you should find another man.”
“I don’t mind…”
“I mind!” Feng Tianlan interrupted her. “He minds too!”
