After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart

Chapter 6: Settling the Marriage

 Love slept very deeply, and she didn't open her eyes until three o'clock in the morning on the second day.

Love stood up and put on her soft shoes and got out of bed. She wanted to call the maid outside to come in and serve her. As soon as Love's feet stepped out of the room, a familiar voice filled her ears.

“Have you finally woken up this time?”

Love raised her eyes and saw that it was Sima Chao.

He didn't know when he came over. He was leaning on the couch outside and reading a book. When he saw her coming out, he put down the book and looked at her.

Love was only wearing a nightgown. When she saw Sima Chao quickly retracting his jade feet that had already stepped out, she just called out "Yuzhu, prepare some water" and then retracted her entire body. Go inside.

Luofu has often come to Sima Mansion since she was a child. Although Sima Chao is used to seeing her, this is the first time he sees her like this.

Wearing a moon-white nightgown, Long Ling's mysterious waist can be vaguely seen, her black hair is like a waterfall, her small face is like a spring peach, her posture is lazy, and her eyebrows are perplexed.

It’s so beautiful that people can’t take their eyes away and it makes people’s hearts itch.

However, he just glanced at her and she hid away.

 It’s disappointing!

This woman was originally hers, but now it was a luxury to even look at her, which made Sima Chao couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Hearing the sound, Lan Tian and Yu Nuan walked into the inner room with small steps holding toiletries. After a while, Love, who was fully dressed, came out.

She was wearing an ordinary skirt, and although her appearance could not be concealed, her face was dull, and she was no longer as charming as she had just seen her.

She said to him: "Master, come here, do you have something to give me?"

With his frosty little face, coupled with his polite words, he looked like he was repelling people thousands of miles away.

Sima Chao raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Fu, but he didn't see her in the same way. He turned to the maid and ordered: "Place the food."

The maids agreed to go down, and soon a sumptuous breakfast table was put on the table.

Sima Chao looked at Love, who was standing aside, and said in a slow tone: "Come here, let's have breakfast first."

The two sat opposite each other. Before the serving maid could take action, Sima Chao raised his hand and filled a bowl of soup for Love and placed it in front of her.

 Love didn’t show any expression, she just buried her head in eating.

Sima Chao took two bites, glanced at Love and said, "It's time for breakfast. I'll take you to see your father and mother."

Seeing that Love was still silent, Sima Chao continued as if he had nothing to say: "Father just returned last night. Let's go there in a while, just in time for father to see you."

Love still had nothing to say. Seeing this, Sima Chao finally closed his mouth angrily.

The two of them finished their breakfast in a dull mood. Love did not call the maid to change clothes. She followed Sima out of the door wearing only this homely dress.

The weather is very good today, with the spring breeze blowing and the sun shining brightly. The two of them were walking halfway, Sima Chao glanced at Love and said with a half-smile: "Brides always go to visit their uncle early in the morning. You are the first person in my Sima family to sleep until three o'clock in the morning before serving tea. Share."

Love turned her head to look at Sima Chao, imitating the tone he used towards her in the past two days, and replied: "I am just a concubine. I am lucky enough to come and have tea with your parents just because of the eldest son's promotion. After all, how can I It can be compared with the main rooms in this mansion."

Sima Chao was speechless for a moment because of Love's retort. He glared at the little woman beside him and said fiercely: "Just be angry with me."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, abandoned her, and strode forward.

There was a short distance between the two of them. As long as Love took two steps faster, she could catch up with Sima Chao in front of her. But she didn't do that. She just followed him and walked forward unhurriedly.

 When he arrived outside the Shuangxi Hall courtyard, Sima Chao stopped. It was not until Love followed that Sima Chao stepped into the hall side by side with her.

When the old lady Wang saw Sima Chao coming with Love, she quickly greeted her warmly: "Chao'er is here! Oops! General, Chao'er is here with his bride to serve tea, please come out quickly. "

Sima Zhengde was sitting at the tea table in front of the window, frowning and pondering over a game of chess. When he heard that his son was coming, he threw down the chess pieces and strolled to the outer hall.

Sima Chao and Luo Fu presented gifts to his father and mother. Wang smiled and asked the two of them to sit down, and then diligently ordered the maid to bring fragrant tea and fruits.

Love was just Sima Chao's side concubine, and she was not worthy of Sima Zhengde's serious attention. However, before the Luo family was convicted, the two families were married in a serious manner. This daughter of the Luo family should have been the official wife of the Sima family. That's right, so when he saw his son bringing Love to greet him today, Sima Zhengde couldn't help but look at Love a few more times.

Love was born in a noble family. She was well-educated and dignified in her manners. She looked like a typical lady from a famous family. Even though she was wearing ordinary clothes today, she could not hide her majestic appearance.

Sima Zhengde accepted the tea offered by Love. He looked at the heroic eldest son, then glanced at the bride beside him, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "This woman is indeed my daughter-in-law."

 This is what Love means.

The Sima family is different from those centuries-old prominent families in Beijing. His family only started by relying on force from Sima Chao's grandfather's generation. Today's world is ignorant and ruthless, and the heroes have risen together. Today's Daqi has been torn apart. In this world, etiquette has collapsed, people believe in force, and the hairpin family is gradually declining. People like the Sima family who are good at fighting are the most popular figures in the court.

Therefore, although the current Sima family is not as glorious as when Sima Chao was about to marry the princess in his previous life, Sima Zhengde is now the cavalry general of Da Qi, commanding the world's troops and horses, and holding great power.

In the eyes of such an ambitious tycoon, in-laws are just a bond to consolidate power. Naturally, he will not allow his eldest son to marry the daughter of a guilty minister, but he will not care if his son takes a beautiful concubine.

It's just a side room. There are many such women in Sima Mansion.

Wang saw a hint of displeasure flashing on her face when Sima Zhengde was degrading Love, but it was immediately covered up by a false smile.

Wang smiled and said to Sima Zhengde: "Chao'er and the general fought in the north and south and suffered a lot. Now that I have a lovely concubine to serve me, I, as a mother, can feel more at ease."

Seeing that his wife was virtuous, Sima Zhengde was pleased and said, "I am away from home all the year round, and I rely on my wife to take care of the whole house. Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "The general said this out of context. It is my duty as a concubine to be able to share the general's worries."

As she said that, she turned her eyes to Sima Chao, put on a loving motherly look and said, "It's just that now that Chao'er has turned 10, the marriage should be finalized. It's rare that the general can stay at home for a few more days this time." , why not take the opportunity to finalize Chaoer’s marriage.”
