Chapter 124.2: Rebirth of the Black Lotus (l)
Lin Shiheng walked to the bamboo forest and looked up and down at the marks on the ground.
It seems that Doctor Cui has been sneaking around for quite a while.
The plot of this world was relatively simple. In the original owner’s perspective, he was a leisurely Prince, but on his way to offer incense to the Empress Dowager, he came across a beautiful woman and was immediately taken aback by her. After finding out that she was the first young lady of the Marquis, he immediately sent a marriage proposal to the Marquis.
In the letter, it said that he was enamored by their first young lady on that day of prayer and wanted to marry her.
He was a Prince and the brother of the current Emperor, so the Marquis certainly wouldn’t dare to refuse. Thus, he soon begged his Emperor Elder Brother to grant him a marriage, and excitedly welcomed the beauty of his choice.
When the bridal veil was lifted, it was not the same beauty as the one he had seen that day. After inquiring, he found out that two of the Marquis’s ‘first young lady’ had gone to offer incense that day, and this was the other one.
The original owner was naturally angry, but this was a marriage granted by his Emperor Brother, and he couldn’t go back on it. Looking at the good-looking woman he married, he had to put up with the anger.
Naturally, he would never consider that the girl he had bumped into was the one who didn’t want to marry him. Instead, he was adamant that the current consort was lying and had seized the marriage. As a result, he had a lot of ill will towards the consort.
After the Princess Consort entered the mansion, she took care of the affairs of the household for him. She was virtuous and magnanimous, and kept the household in order. Therefore, the original owner only neglected her. After having a proper consort, he could take a concubine. A concubine wasn’t enough to be considered a side consort. For a whole year, the original owner took in one woman after another into his backyard without showing respect to his consort, the main wife.
