Chapter 419: Unable to bear
Chen Li had to admit the fact that Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were engaged, but how could things be like this? It was clear that Liu Xiu was treating her well these days, and was even more gentle and kind than before. She expressed her meaning so clearly, Liu Xiu would not be disappointed. got it!
Chen Li only knew a rough idea of history, and what she knew had changed a lot. However, in Chen Li's perception, Liu Xiu was not a lustful emperor, and there were not many concubines in the harem. .
As for who was in Liu Xiu's harem, Chen Li didn't know that she would travel to this dynasty at that time. She didn't pay attention at all, so she never regarded Yin Lihua as a threat, even though there was a marriage between the Yin family and the Liu family outside. Chen Li didn't take the rumors to heart.
In her opinion, Liu Xiu, an emperor of all ages, with such ability, does not need marriage to consolidate his status. The emperor on horseback naturally relied on fighting. Chen Li was also confused by her own half-knowledge and half-heartedness. The historical level has been deceived, and there is really little communication between Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu on weekdays, otherwise they would not take it so lightly. Now it is too late to know the news.
"No, no, he won't do this to me." Chen Li murmured unconsciously. She didn't believe that Liu Xiu would treat her like this. She didn't believe that Liu Xiu would be so unfeeling to her. If Liu Xiu really wanted to make a contract with Yin Lihua, Dear, why didn't you mention it to her beforehand? She even dressed up beautifully today and came to the banquet happily. Now that I think about it, she looks like a fool.
Chen Li was not good at hiding her emotions, and she had no intention of thinking about it at this time. Everyone looked at her with such a lost look, but no one sympathized with her. Instead, they looked at her with contempt and ridicule.
In the eyes of these noble ladies, Chen Li is a businesswoman who cannot be put on the stage, and that's it. However, Chen Li also challenges the world, does business in public, and even interferes with men's affairs outside. Some people have long looked down upon it. He was used to it, but it was just to prevent Liu Xiucai from saying anything. Now that he had such an opportunity, he didn't take the opportunity to laugh at him.
"Hey, what's going on, Miss Chen? Why do you look so lost and lost because your man was robbed? She looks so pitiful."
"Yes, the look on Miss Chen's face doesn't look right. Could it be that she was abandoned by a man? Tsk, tsk, so the most important thing is self-knowledge. You shouldn't think about things that are not yours, otherwise you will suffer retribution."
"Isn't that right? A woman should stay at home peacefully and take care of her husband and raise children. If she is so restless and wants to get involved in men's affairs outside, no matter how capable she is, she will not be abandoned in the end. She really thinks of herself. It’s so green.”
"That's not necessarily the case. If you can't be a wife, you can still be a concubine. After all, the Liu family is a descendant of the royal family. Now that they are prosperous, it is already a high level for a merchant's daughter to have the status of a concubine. Is it possible that this is the case? I still want to be the first wife, but I don’t know what it means. Only Miss Yin’s character and personality can deserve this position!”
Chen Li has not yet woken up from the shock of Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu's engagement. These ladies and ladies were dismissed with one glance and one word. Although it hindered some relationships, no one said it clearly in their words, but it was so obvious. Even a fool would understand the hints, but Chen Li ignored them all until Yin Lihua came over.
"You're like Miss Chen, but if you feel uncomfortable, I'll ask my servants to take you to the back to rest." Yin Lihua still had her usual smiling face and said to Chen Li gently, as a guest of the banquet The protagonist is very thoughtful and considerate, although this may not necessarily mean well.
How could Chen Li appreciate it at this time? The so-called love rival was extremely jealous when he saw Yin Lihua. His eyes turned red when he saw Yin Lihua: "Yin, stop being so pretentious. This pretense is really disgusting. You don't know why I am like this." ? How shameless. You know that Brother Liu and I love each other, but you just stepped in and seduced Brother Liu with your good looks. Why is it so interesting to be a mistress? Now you are standing like a winner? It’s so shameless in front of me!”
Chen Li's words were too harsh and merciless. Even Yin Lihua had known for a long time that Chen Li would not say anything nice, and her expression changed a little after hearing these words, not to mention accusing her of seducing Liu in front of so many people. Xiu, although everyone may not believe it after hearing this, Yin Lihua cares most about her reputation. How can she allow Chen Li to be so corrupted? She immediately blushed with anger.
"Ms. Chen, you should speak in a measured way and don't make irresponsible remarks. How can I, Yin Lihua, be such a frivolous person? The relationship between me and the eldest brother of the Liu family is pure and innocent. Now the engagement is the words of the matchmaker ordered by my parents. I am upright and pure. I don't know. In what capacity does Miss Chen question me like this? I respect Miss Chen as a distinguished guest, and I treat her with courtesy because of the help of the eldest brother of the Liu family. Miss Chen, please don’t make the mistake of thinking that I, the Yin family, are So insulting!”
Yin Lihua is indeed a lady from a famous family. No matter how angry she is, she doesn't say anything too unpleasant to Chen Li. People have to admire her for being well-educated and kind. However, although Yin Lihua's words do not contain any curse words, they are Also very sharp.
Even though Chen Li looked down upon the customs of this era, such as her parents ordering matchmakers, she really had no identity or position when it came to her relationship with Liu Xiu. Although there was some ambiguity between her and Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu also didn't care about her. She understood that Liu Xiu had never promised her to marry her, nor even acknowledged that she was his woman. She was speechless when Yin Lihua questioned her, and when she saw everyone around her looking at her with disdain and disdain, she Time is a bit too much to bear.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe that Brother Liu would do this to me. I'll go ask him now!" Chen Li said this and ran out, as if she was going to find Liu Xiu to ask for a result.
Yin Lihua saw Chen Li running out, but she was not worried. Even if Chen Li was going to find Liu Xiu, what would happen? She didn't believe that Liu Xiu would change his decision to marry the Yin family for a merchant woman. She saw that man clearly. He only had his grand plan in his heart. He was not the kind of man who was impulsive for women. She was willing to marry Liu Xiu because of this. Only such a man could be worthy of her, Yin Lihua.
As for the private affairs between Chen Li and Liu Xiu, it was impossible for Yin Lihua, as Liu Xiu's fiancée, to say that she didn't mind at all, but she could distinguish the importance. Anyway, she didn't marry Liu Xiu for those love affairs. She just saw the potential of this man to bring her to an unprecedented height. As a wife, she had to have the bearing and capacity of a wife and couldn't commit the jealousy rule. Chen Li was not the first woman around Liu Xiu and would not be the last.
