50: Princess Gao

Zhao Lingwu: "?"

Chen Xuan: "??!"

"Hahaha, I truly didn't expect this matter to have such an outcome!" Zhao Weiwu burst into hearty laughter.

"Old man, what do you mean?"

"He is Chen Xuan!" Zhao Yi also laughed.

"What?! He, he is Chen Xuan...!" Zhao Lingwu was first startled, then her cheeks flushed crimson.

It wasn't that she was shy, but rather that her family matters and her violent behavior just now had all been witnessed by him...

'He, he won't dislike me, will he? No, when he lost his cultivation, he was only at the Golden Core Stage. Now that he has no cultivation, and I am still at the Golden Core Stage, what does he have to dislike about me!'

However, as she thought about it, she still slipped into her own courtyard and tightly closed the door.

"No, Family Head Zhao, why is this involving me again!" Chen Xuan looked bewildered.

"Young friend, don't rush, please let us explain slowly!" Zhao Weiwu stroked his beard and smiled.

...

"What?! You mean, you want Lady Ling Wu to marry me?!"

"No, no, haven't I already married Wenwen? How can I still..."

"Hey, young friend, don't decline. We already understand what happened between you and that girl Wenwen! Since you don't share a room with her, doesn't that mean there won't be any descendants in the future? This is extremely unfair to you, young friend!" Zhao Yi hurriedly persuaded.

Are you kidding? We've already dealt with the most difficult Zhao Lingwu. If you, young man, are unwilling, wouldn't we have taken a beating for nothing? You have to get married, whether you like it or not! We'll make you marry even if we have to use force!

"This still needs to respect Lady Ling Wu's wishes. I saw from the beginning that she wasn't very willing, and I won't go against her..."

"Willing, she's willing. I'm her father, how could I not understand her? Perfect, the day after tomorrow is Huang Chen Auspicious Day. Son-in-law, prepare yourself, I will personally preside over your wedding!"

...

Chen Xuan was speechless. How much did this old man want to hold a grandson...

Zhao Lingwu, with an embarrassed expression, hid behind the door, listening to the conversation outside.

"Son-in-law, don't worry. Although this girl Ling Wu has been spoiled by us since childhood and has a bit of a wild temper, her nature isn't bad; she's just a bit violent. If you can subdue her, perhaps she'll obediently listen to you and be completely compliant with you in the future!" Zhao Weiwu continued to persuade.

"This, can it really be calculated this way...?" Chen Xuan became even more speechless.

...

Evening.

Chen Xuan paced back and forth in the room.

"Husband, if you have something on your mind, just say it. Pacing back and forth like this, Wenwen is also anxious!"

"Sigh!"

"Husband, don't sigh. Is it because Wenwen's belly hasn't shown any signs, that's why you're sighing? Then, then let's try again tonight, Wenwen will definitely try her best..."

"It's not like that."

Chen Xuan stepped forward, hugged her, then placed her on his lap, and told her what had happened during the day.

She was the most sensitive and jealous of his wives. Chen Xuan was dealing with this problem for the first time, afraid of upsetting her.

"This, how is this possible? That's Ling Wu... Senior, she's the most treasured woman of the Gao family, how could she marry you, Husband!" Chen Wenwen's first reaction was disbelief.

However, she then thought about it carefully and realized that Chen Xuan really did meet all of Zhao Lingwu's requirements!

"Husband, are you, are you doing this on purpose!"

"What do you mean 'on purpose'? I've always been sincere with you, Wenwen!" Chen Xuan tightly embraced the person in his arms.

"You deliberately made me tell Zhao Tianming that I hadn't consummated our marriage!" Chen Wenwen said angrily, grabbing Chen Xuan's arm and biting down.

"Absolutely not, that was truly a well-intentioned lie to Zhao Tianming. I never expected it to develop into this!" Chen Xuan said truthfully.

"Hmph, Wenwen, Wenwen isn't a jealous woman, but Husband is still the worst!" Chen Wenwen bit once, not satisfied, and bit again.

Chen Xuan could only continue to comfort her, but as he comforted her, the two moved to another place.

...

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the wedding day, the entire Zhao family was once again decorated with lanterns and streamers, full of joy.

In the main hall, guests gathered, each with a different expression on their Faces. They wore splendid clothes, holding fine wine and delicacies, congratulating the new couple of the Zhao family.

"Family Head Huang arrives!"

"Princess Jingqi arrives!"

"Consort Gao Yueting arrives!"

Seeing various factions sending people to celebrate, Zhao Weiwu stood at the front of the main hall, radiant and beaming.

After all, this was Zhao Lingwu, a Golden Core expert who had been famous in Zhou Capital for a long time, so no matter which faction in Zhou Capital, they had to show Face.

In the center of the main hall, Chen Xuan wore a red robe, with a bright red flower pinned to his chest. His figure was tall and straight, and his Face was handsome.

Zhao Lingwu wore a pink wedding dress, a Phoenix coronet on her head, and a delicate Face. Her large eyes sparkled like stars, making her look exceptionally charming.

"I say, Ling Wu, I, Consort, thought you would never marry in this life. I didn't expect you to find a son-in-law so quickly!" Consort Gao Yueting said with a mix of teasing and mockery.

Chen Xuan looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Consort Gao Yueting dressed in a magnificent palace gown, wearing a golden crown. Her figure was graceful and her demeanor elegant.

"Hmph, even if I found a son-in-law, I am still at Golden Core cultivation. What are you?" Zhao Lingwu retorted without weakness.

"This is...?"

"Gao Yueting, the legitimate daughter of the Gao family, a minor Consort. Nothing much to say!"

Chen Xuan: "..."

These two definitely had some grievances, otherwise the atmosphere wouldn't be so volatile.

Zhou Capital once had three great beauties: Huang Meihua, Gao Yueting, and Zhao Lingwu.

The three had competed and fought in their early years. However, Zhao Lingwu's talent far surpassed the other two, and they simply couldn't compare to her. Later, they even became sacrifices of political marriages.

So, they naturally felt some jealousy towards Zhao Lingwu, and over the years, they had not held back with their sarcastic remarks, calling her unwanted, a tomboy, and so on.

Now seeing her marry a low-status son-in-law, they naturally couldn't resist a round of mockery.

"But seriously, your son-in-law is quite handsome. If he has time, let him come and serve me, the Consort. Perhaps I can even find him a job!"

"Alright, today is Ling Wu's wedding day. You say less!" Huang Meihua walked out and pulled Gao Yueting away.

"Hmm? Huang Meihua? Did you change gender? Usually, you're the first to cry out!"

...

"Princess Jingqi also came, where is she?"

"Why are you looking for her?" Zhao Lingwu looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about this Genius girl."

"She delivered her gift and left. She probably just wanted to see if Tianming was home. If I'm not mistaken, she'll be coming to break off the engagement in a few days."

"Alright, then let's get ready. It's time for the bowing ceremony, my wife!"

Zhao Lingwu's Face turned red.

"We, we agreed, okay? You, you won't go against my will. You and I are just buddies, no... no bullying me, understand?"

"Let's perform the bowing ceremony. The rest of the matters can be left to your husband."
