I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

"Congratulations, Lord Chu!"

"Lord Chu, is this your second successful examination? You're still so young!"

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Chu!"

"..."

Chu Shen, being a face-conscious person and not lacking in wealth, decided to host a banquet to entertain the crowd of people who were excited to see him take on concubines. This was also a unique way to establish his reputation.

The guests were pleased and didn't hold back their auspicious words, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

However, Chen Xiu, who had just returned, felt a bit sour upon seeing this scene. She had never experienced such a lively atmosphere when she entered the household.

Away from the others, Chu Shen embraced the woman's waist and promised, "If you feel that this occasion is lacking, when our new home is decorated and we move in, I will let you take charge as the lady of the house."

This finally made the woman happy, dispelling her sourness. She boldly kissed him and then blushed as she ran back to her room.

Since there were four new people, Chu Shen opened another room at the Four Seas Inn. Tonight, as he celebrated his success, he naturally shared a room with the mute girl, while Chen Xiu and the three girls squeezed into another room.

After settling everything with Chen Xiu, Chu Shen exchanged pleasantries with the others, finally resolving external matters and entering the bridal chamber.

The festive decorations in the room were unremarkable and went unnoticed. However, the trembling girl sitting on the bed in her wedding dress brought Chu Shen, whose brain was still slightly foggy from alcohol, back to his senses.

He walked slowly to the trembling girl, sat down, and reached out to lift her red veil.

To be fair, she was much prettier than Chen Xiu. With big eyes, a delicate nose, and soft cherry lips that looked sweet and enticing, her appearance was quite stunning. Her face bore a resemblance of about seventy percent to a popular internet celebrity named Zhou Jie, who was known as the "Blue Star Girl" on the planet Lanyu. However, she had a softer and more delicate look, not as tough. Her figure was even better, especially her fierce temperament.

This kind of beautiful girl is actually only sold for thirty taels of silver, which can be considered a lucky find for him.

Even if the other party cannot speak.

And from the records in the dental clinic, he also learned about her experience.

The girl's name is Ning Xiangyue, originally from Qizhou City, which is a hundred miles away from Nanping City. She comes from a scholarly family and is known for her talent. She used to be happy and content, with a fiancé who was a scholar and was expected to pass the imperial examination. Her future was bright.

The tragedy is that she ended up with a father who had a gambling addiction.

After losing everything in the family, and facing natural disasters and man-made calamities in recent years, her struggling mother finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed away, but she couldn't wake up her father who had gone astray.

After a carefully planned gambling game, her family lost everything, and she also lost to the gambling house.

Fortunately, her fiancé stepped in and paid off the gambling debt for her father, resolving the situation and saving her.

However, her fiancé's family couldn't afford to lose face, and they were worried that her father, who had not learned his lesson, would bring trouble to their family. So, while her fiancé, who was a scholar, went to take the imperial examination, they went to her house and called off the engagement.

Her fiancé's family treated her family well. Not only did they not demand the return of the betrothal gifts, but they also left some silver, hoping that her father would wake up and live a good life.

However, a gambling addict cannot be saved. Her father not only lost all the silver left by her former in-laws, but also lost her again.

Before being taken away by the people from the gambling house, Ning Xiangyue drank poison, choosing death over dishonor. However, she didn't die, but her voice became hoarse.

The gambling house didn't fare well either. Her father used the fact that the gambling house almost killed his daughter to try to extort money from them, causing chaos and heavy losses for the gambling house.

After all, Ning Xiangyue's father had the status of a scholar, so even though he was a gambling addict, he couldn't be treated the same way as ordinary people.

In the end, in order to get rid of this troublesome gambling addict, the gambling house simply sold Ning Xiangyue to the dental clinic, and specifically instructed the dental clinic to resell her in another city. That's how she ended up in Nanping City, drifting and alone.

To be honest, when Chu Shen saw this record, he knew that he had not only taken on a beautiful girl, but also a trouble.

As for the involved gambling den, that's not a big deal. But it turns out that Ning Xiangyue's father is a scholar, which is the first trouble: in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, scholars belong to the privileged class. They are good at causing trouble, even if they are not good at accomplishing things. If this lousy gambler uses Ning Xiangyue to stick to him, it would be disgusting.

Fortunately, Qi Zhou City is far from Nan Ping City, and that lousy gambler has lost everything, so he shouldn't come to provoke him.

But the second trouble is even bigger.

Obviously, Ning Xiangyue's former fiancé still cares about her. Even the cancellation of the engagement was orchestrated by his family while he was away taking the imperial examination.

If that man is a devoted person and learns of Ning Xiangyue's whereabouts, it will probably cause another storm.

This depends on Ning Xiangyue's attitude.

If she can completely let go of her former fiancé, as a scholar, he probably wouldn't have the face to continue bothering her.

But if she still has feelings for her former fiancé... sigh, it would be annoying to deal with the lingering connections, and he would also have to worry about his own reputation.

Thinking about this, he already had a plan and looked at Ning Xiangyue.

A person who has already attempted suicide once generally wouldn't dare to do it again. Ning Xiangyue is not an exception. After facing the terror of death once, even the most virtuous person can only endure humiliation and compromise.

So, after lifting the red veil, what Chu Shen saw was a girl with closed eyes, already resigned, as if waiting to be bitten by a dog.

This made him both angry and amused, as if he was the antagonist... Oh, right, what he has to do now seems quite similar to the antagonist.

"Come, drink the wedding wine."

He patted the girl's hand, which was smooth and tender, with a really nice touch. However, when the girl was startled, she quickly pulled her hand back, which was a bit heartbreaking.

"I, too, know a bit about your situation. The records in the dental clinic are quite detailed. I sympathize with what you've been through."

Chu Shen absentmindedly picked up a glass of wine, while the other one was handed to Ning Xiangyue.

Ning Xiangyue's hand was still trembling, causing the full glass of wine to tilt and spill some.

"But all of that is in the past. Fate is just like that, never quite going as we wish. I know that you probably still have expectations for your fiancé, the scholar. Hoping that he will pass the imperial examination and come to find you, continuing your previous relationship. Hoping that he will save you from your misery, so that life can be carefree again. Hoping that he will make your father wake up from his debauchery and gambling..."

Ning Xiangyue's hand tightened, showing some surprise.

Because these were indeed the scenes she had been fantasizing about since her downfall.

She used to be so happy, naturally having a strong aversion to the cruel reality. Unfortunately, she couldn't change any of it herself, so she could only hope for someone capable of changing it to come and save her.

And in her fantasies, her former fiancé was the one who could break the deadlock.

Chu Shen saw her subtle reaction and knew that he had successfully guessed her thoughts based on human nature, but this success made him subtly uncomfortable.

"But now, we have a contract and our relationship is set. Do you think your fiancé can accept the fact that you will marry someone else as a concubine?"

Tsk, it seems like I've really become the antagonist...
