Chapter 2034: The Miserable Fiancée vs. The Miss of a Wealthy Family (Extra)

The sound of banter between a man and a woman came from inside the room.

Chen Mingzhu stood outside, knowing without looking what kind of unsightly scene was happening inside.

Her chest trembled with anger; ultimately, she couldn’t hold back and kicked the door open.

Inside the room, a flamboyant woman in a pink dress hurriedly climbed off the man, looking panicked.

"Madam..." The woman was clearly uneasy.

The man, however, had an honest expression, his gaze coolly sweeping over Chen Mingzhu, with even a touch of disdain if one looked closely.

"What are you here for again?" he asked impatiently.

Chen Mingzhu trembled with anger: "What am I here for? Shi Yunfei, it’s broad daylight, look at yourself, what a disgrace!"

She despised Shi Yunfei’s lack of ambition.

But these words happened to touch Shi Yunfei’s most sensitive nerve.

He didn’t want this from the start either.

He prided himself on his knowledge and thought he had latched onto the golden connection of the Marquis’s Mansion, believing his future was bright.

However, reality quickly told him he was thinking too much.

Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion may sound grand, but it’s just an empty shell.

Not to mention, his wife, officially the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion, every time they attended festive occasions with Chen Mingzhu, Marquis Mingyi and Lady of the Marquis Mingyi would give them the cold shoulder.

Shi Yunfei noticed that even the illegitimate sisters and brothers-in-law of Chen Mingzhu received more favor from the Marquis.

Thus, his opinion of Chen Mingzhu naturally hit rock bottom.

Moreover, he had offended Prince Ping, hoping to take the imperial exam?

There was absolutely no chance to rise!

At home, Chen Mingzhu was stubborn and had a temper, she also looked down on Shi Yunfei, and never knew how to be accommodating.

The couple lived more like enemies than husband and wife.

Relying on Chen Mingzhu’s dowry to support the family, Shi Yunfei couldn’t divorce her; eventually, he married two beautiful concubines instead, never stepping into the main room, out of sight, out of mind!

Chen Mingzhu felt incredibly constrained, but her family didn’t care about her, and she couldn’t divorce Shi Yunfei—her reputation was already ruined, with no chance of remarrying, she ended up enduring it.

Shi Yunfei sneered: "Then what do you think I should do? Both of us have offended Princess Consort Ping. Do you think I still have a chance?"

His words once again hit Chen Mingzhu’s sore spot.

Recently, it was said that Princess Consort Ping had given birth to dragon-phoenix twins, Prince Ping was overjoyed, personally hosting a banquet and distributing porridge for ten days to bless the newborn children.

The current Princess Consort Ping had undeniably become the envy of all women in Capital City—noble status, a devoted husband with no concubines, and now blessed with children.

Especially Chen Mingzhu, who had always been secretly jealous of her, every time she heard news about Princess Consort Ping, it felt like someone was stabbing her heart with needles.

She coldly laughed: "If it weren’t for you, this useless man, blindly wanting to cut ties with the Chang Family to climb the Shi Family’s ladder, would we have ended up like this?"

Shi Yunfei shouted sternly: "Shut up!"

Chen Mingzhu didn’t back down: "You’re foolish, but am I not allowed to say it?"

...

Gu Shengyin was lazily basking in the sun outside the study when she unexpectedly heard the system prompt that Chen Mingzhu and Shi Yunfei were arguing again.

She paused, and the next moment received the system’s notification: Task completed.

"System, from now on, don’t tell me anything about her anymore."

"Understood, Host."
