Chapter 428: The Most Shameless Woman

When they first went on a blind date, Sheng Jiang had originally met with the Wang Family's younger daughter, Wang Yinghao; the two fell in love at first sight, and their first meeting was very pleasant.

After meeting, they set the wedding date, and the day of the wedding arrived very quickly.

However, the person was swapped on the day of the wedding; the bride was changed to Wang Yingzhi!

Sheng Jiang naturally would not stand for it, so he pointed out on the spot that the Wang Family had sent the wrong person and demanded the bride be sent back immediately.

Yet his reasonable request was opposed by both of his parents, with his father's opposition being especially intense.

Sheng Laoyezi stated clearly: "No. You are the eldest son of the Sheng Family. With so many guests here today, if the wedding doesn't go through, our Sheng Family will become the laughingstock of all Jiangzhou. Who you marry is who you marry; proceed with the wedding as planned!"

Sheng Jiang did not dare to talk back to his father.

In his heart, his father had always been a god-like existence, full of prestige.

Not daring to resist meant he had to compromise; he had been timid by nature since childhood, so he swallowed his anger and went through with the wedding.

After the wedding, he did not go to the bridal chamber, intending to stay in the Study himself.

Originally, Sheng Jiang had planned to send her back the next day, returning the person perfectly intact.

This way, the wedding would proceed as planned to preserve his father's face, and he wouldn't burn bridges with the Wang Family; after all, he was still thinking of Wang Yinghao and wanted to swap her back.

The idea was beautiful, but things did not develop according to his thoughts.

Wang Yingzhi waited until midnight, and seeing that her husband had not returned to the bridal chamber, she went to her parents-in-law's room to cry and complain!

Her parents-in-law were not asleep, and because they were also dissatisfied with the Wang Family swapping the person, they were discussing this matter.

Sheng Jiang's mother had originally prepared to marry into the Wang Family because her son had a timid personality, and she had heard that the Wang Family's daughter had a soft personality, a good temper, and was kind-hearted.

Based on the standard of marrying a daughter-in-law from a lower-status family, she had arranged the blind date with the Wang Family's daughter.

After the blind date, not only was Sheng Jiang satisfied, but the old mistress of the Sheng Family was also satisfied with Wang Yinghao.

It was just that no one expected the Wang Family to be so bold as to swap the person on the day of the wedding!

The old mistress had the same idea as her son: send her back the next day, but her husband did not agree.

The old master believed they should first get to the bottom of what was going on before deciding.

The two were discussing it in the room, and it was all overheard by Wang Yingzhi, who was eavesdropping at the door.

She used a handkerchief she had prepared long ago to dab the corners of her eyes, and tears immediately gushed out.

"Knock, knock."

Wang Yingzhi knocked on the door twice lightly, and after receiving permission, she went in. Without a word, she "thumped" to her knees before the two elders, saying nothing, just shedding tears.

The old couple of the Sheng Family were people who had seen great storms; they would not be immediately moved just because she was being servile.

The old mistress told her not to just cry and to explain clearly what was going on.

If she didn't say it today, she would go to the Wang Family to ask tomorrow; the Wang Family had to provide a reasonable explanation.

The Sheng Family was not soft dough; the old couple did not tolerate any sand in their eyes!

Wang Yingzhi lowered her head and eyes, stopped sobbing, and stated her "reason."

She said she had no choice and that she had been forced to bite the bullet and marry in her sister's place.

Her younger sister, Wang Yinghao, originally had a sweetheart and had eloped with him the day before the wedding.

If she hadn't married in her place today, neither the Sheng Family nor the Wang Family would have been able to save face.

She also said that no matter what decision the two elders made, she would agree, but she hoped they would not blame her maiden family, as they had not known about this either and had been caught off guard.

Wang Yingzhi's attitude was respectful, and her words were very reasonable.

The old couple exchanged a look, and their thoughts were the same—why not just let it be and accept the mistake as it was.

Anyway, they just wanted a daughter-in-law who wasn't overbearing; who they married didn't really matter, did it?

Wang Yingzhi looked quite decent, and since she was already married in, they might as well leave it at that.

The old couple's one rash decision ruined Sheng Jiang's entire life.

Sheng Jiang was called out of the Study by his mother and sent back to the bridal chamber, where she told him clearly that Wang Yinghao had eloped with someone else and told him that whoever he had married, he should treat her well.

He did not believe it, thinking Wang Yingzhi was lying.

Back then, he and Wang Yinghao had chatted very well, and both had clearly expressed that they would marry no one else.

If she had a sweetheart, wouldn't it have been enough to just disagree?

There was no need at all to lie to him during the blind date.

However, his certainty was useless; a small arm cannot twist a thigh. His parents both told him to accept the mistake, forget Wang Yinghao, and live a good life with Wang Yingzhi from then on.

Sheng Jiang was "escorted" into the bridal chamber.

He stood at the door, not even looking at the bride, intending to stand in the bridal chamber for the whole night.

An honest man has an honest man's way of resisting.

Are you not forcing me to marry someone I don't like?

Fine.

I won't touch her with a single finger, and I will stick to it to the end.

Wang Yingzhi lowered her head and eyes, spread the quilt from the bridal bed onto the floor, and made a floor bed for herself.

She told him to sleep on the bed and "thoughtfully" handed him a cup of water, clearly stating that since he didn't like her, she would return to her maiden home early tomorrow morning and not come back.

Sheng Jiang was full of anger and was feeling thirsty.

Her words were also to his liking, so he took the water and drank it all.

Sheng Jiang felt it wasn't right to let a girl sleep on the floor, so he proposed that he sleep on the floor and leave the bed to her.

Before his words had even faded, Wang Yingzhi suddenly hugged him and confessed her feelings repeatedly!

She said how much she liked him and asked him to just accept the mistake...

Sheng Jiang prepared to push her away, but a strange emotion surged from the bottom of his heart—a burning heat!

Early the next morning.

Wang Yingzhi beamed with joy as she went to pay her respects to her parents-in-law, while Sheng Jiang felt indescribably frustrated.

From then on, he became even more reticent.

Since the two had consummated their marriage, she naturally could not be sent back.

However, after half a year, Wang Yingzhi still had not conceived, and the Old Madam grew increasingly displeased with her.

The reason for this dislike was not just her inability to conceive, but that over these six months, Wang Yingzhi's personality had been completely exposed.

She fawned over the powerful and trampled on the weak, and her outlook was narrow and her intentions crooked.

Almost every flaw could be found in Wang Yingzhi.

Dissatisfied, the Old Madam wanted her son to divorce and marry someone else; the Sheng Family Old Master had originally absolutely disagreed, but seeing that there was no movement in his daughter-in-law's belly after half a year, he agreed to consider it.

The old couple's conversation happened to be overheard by Wang Yingzhi.

She was extremely anxious.

She could not be blamed for whether or not she could conceive!

Sheng Jiang did not touch her at all, so how could she conceive?

Furthermore, after that day, Sheng Jiang guarded against her as if she were a thief, and she simply had no opportunity to drug him a second time.

Wang Yingzhi worried for a whole day and came up with a plan.

Using her younger sister's name, she wrote a letter to Sheng Jiang, inviting him to a hotel for a meeting.

Sheng Jiang, thinking of the person he longed for, finally received a letter from her, and without verifying its authenticity, he went.

Meanwhile, Wang Yinghao also received a letter written by "Sheng Jiang" to meet at the hotel.

After the two met, their feelings were very complicated.

Wang Yinghao had never married, let alone eloped with anyone.

This entire scheme was a rotten idea conspired by Wang Yingzhi and their mother.

Their mother had knelt and begged her younger daughter to give up the opportunity to marry Sheng Jiang to her elder sister.

The reason was that she did not have to worry about marriage and could easily find another good family to marry into.

But if Wang Yingzhi missed this opportunity, she would have to suffer indignities no matter who she married in the future!

Only by marrying Sheng Jiang would she not, because he was honest, and Wang Yingzhi could manipulate him.

Honest people deserve to die.

Such an absurd reason had actually torn apart a pair of lovers.

Their mother threatened her with death, saying she would die if she did not agree, so she had no choice but to consent.

When the two met again, their feelings had not changed, but their identities had.

From lovers who cherished each other, they had become brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

A waiter brought drinks, and as the two drank and chatted, they felt something strange in their bodies after only a few sips.
