Chapter 2647: Lu Junning and Lu Mingxuan Had Switched
Lu Mingxuan’s words, ‘the heavens will strike you with thunder and lightning,’ seemed to echo in the air.
Lu Junning’s expression changed slightly. She swept back her sleeve and turned to leave.
Shen Yichen watched Lu Junning’s retreating figure with a sad expression and shook off Lu Mingxuan’s hand that was holding onto his arm. “Don’t touch me.”
Lu Mingxuan continued to smile faintly.
Ning Shu observed from the side and felt that the positions of Lu Junning and Lu Mingxuan had switched. The current Lu Junning was impatient, while Lu Mingxuan seemed securely seated on a high platform.
At this point, Lu Mingxuan had already overcome her greatest challenge by securing a good marriage. If nothing unexpected happened to Shen Yichen, Lu Mingxuan would naturally enjoy a life of wealth and prosperity.
On the other hand, Lu Junning and Shen Yichen had already consummated their physical relationship as husband and wife. However, Lu Junning couldn’t move forward or retreat because she couldn’t overcome the obstacle in her heart.
If she married Shen Yichen, he already had a legal wife, and it was Lu Mingxuan whom she detested.
If she didn’t marry him, the issue was that her innocence was already lost.
She was caught in a dilemma.
In the evening, Shen Yichen would stay at the Lu residence for the night. Lu Junning couldn’t help but walk to the outside of Lu Mingxuan’s courtyard.
She watched as the lights inside turned on and then went out. Lu Junning clenched her teeth tightly.
Why was it that even after being reborn, her life still felt so fragmented and broken?
Why couldn’t Lu Mingxuan just leave her alone? She always wanted to take everything that belonged to her.
Lu Junning returned to her own room, feeling gloomy.
The next day, Lu Mingxuan and Shen Yichen were going back to Prince Chen’s residence. Shen Yichen was dragging his feet, wanting to see Lu Junning again.
Lu Mingxuan directly said, “I know you have feelings for Second Sister, but society won’t accept your current relationship. If you truly love her, I won’t oppose you bringing her into the residence.”
“Originally, the position of princess consort of Prince Chen should have been hers,” Shen Yichen said.
Lu Mingxuan smoothed down her hair as she said indifferently, “I know, but Second Sister missed this opportunity. Some things cannot be undone.”
Lu Mingxuan understood this feeling all too well. When Lu Yujing stole her marriage back then, she felt the urge to destroy everything.
She wouldn’t let go of any other opportunities, especially when it involved Lu Junning’s man.
And now, she was the princess consort of Prince Chen, the noble princess consort of Prince Chen.
Meanwhile, Lu Junning was just a woman who had lost her innocence before even getting married.
Lu Mingxuan would keep her eyes wide open as she watched Lu Junning. This was revenge for her younger brother and the pain she and her mother had endured.
Shen Yichen turned and walked away, looking lost and desolate, with Lu Mingxuan by his side.
Lu Mingxuan moved gracefully, her figure radiant.
Ning Shu watched Lu Mingxuan leave. Strictly speaking, Lu Mingxuan had a better understanding of the situation than Lu Junning did.
Lu Junning’s strength lay in the fact that she had already lived through this life once, so she had knowledge of future events.
However, Lu Mingxuan had managed to rise above the circumstances.
Ning Shu let out a long sigh. The women in the inner courtyard were truly not simple. Men confined women to the inner courtyard and left them to deal with each other.
It would be much more interesting to see these methods used on men.
Lu Yuanfan wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Junning and directly said, “The son of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice is a good match. He’s two years older than you. Would you like to meet him?”
Lu Junning’s face immediately darkened. “I’ve already said, I won’t marry anyone. And if I were to marry, it would be someone of my own choosing.”
Lu Yuanfan sneered, “You’re just a damaged flower now. What else can you do?”
“Damaged flower? Father, are you even my father?” Lu Junning’s face turned extremely ugly upon hearing the words “damaged flower.”
Lu Yuanfan retorted, “Then what do you want?”
“I’ve already said, my marriage is not something you can interfere with. My marriage will be decided by my maternal family.”
