Chapter 15: Master Yi Chen Predicted That He Would Face a Disaster in Life
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Mengtian remembered the troubles the original owner of the body left for her and pondered over Jiang Zebei’s words. Then, she thought that his arrangement was pretty good.
So, she just nodded obediently. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Jiang Zebei was satisfied with how obedient she was and felt very pleased with it.
It would be great if she would continue being so good.
“Alright. Go and wash your face. We can eat soon.”
Jiang Zebei turned around and walked to the furnace again. He had only put a few twigs into the furnace earlier, so he added some more now.
Chen Mengtian had a resigned smile as she looked at his back. He might be young, but he was slowly growing taller and broader.
In truth, she did not try to curry favor with him. It was just that she wanted to be on good terms with him so that they could live harmoniously with each other in the future.
But Jiang Zebei had said those things and promised that he would solve her troubles for her. This misunderstanding was actually pretty good for her.
So she decided not to explain anything and just turned around to head to the courtyard.
When Jiang Zebei heard her leave, he turned his head to look at her retreating back.
‘Let it be. Let’s live together like this for the time being.’
He would not divorce her, but he would wait for the day she said that she wanted to divorce him.
She never liked him, and he no longer had the hope he had when he was younger.
Perhaps, in a few more years, she would meet someone she liked and that person would be good to her.
He should just let everything happen naturally. As long as she stayed in the Jiang family, he would be responsible for her wellbeing.
He might have mentioned that he did not want to owe her anything, but Jiang Zebei knew that there was something else behind why he decided to not divorce her.
The Jiang family had decided to buy Chen Mengtian as a child bride three years ago because Jiang Zebei had become gravely sick.
His parents once told him that he coincidentally met Master Yi Chen of Cold West when he was born.
Master Yi Chen had been the abbot for three terms in Land Guardian Temple. All people in Cold West and other countries wanted to get a few words of encouragement from Master Yi Chen.
But he seldom made predictions for people, and even the royal family had to rely on luck and fate to be able to hire him.
However, Jiang Zebei was fortunate. He met Master Yi Chen after he was born.
The abbot said that he would meet a disaster in his life, and before he was ten, he had to be engaged. It would be best for him if the girl was brought over to be taken care of by his family as well.
His parents originally paid no heed to it, but when he was nine years old, he fell sick.
His body heated up, and he fell unconscious. No matter how much medicine he took, he didn’t get better. Instead, he got worse.
That year, his parents remembered what Master Yi Chen said.
They immediately used twenty silver to buy Chen Mengtian as his child bride.
Speaking of which, it was pure coincidence, but she was the most suitable in regards to age in the whole village to be his wife.
The others were either older than him by a few years or were too young.
On the second day Chen Mengtian married into his family, he became energetic and perfectly fine.
This was too bizarre, but his parents were really good to Chen Mengtian and treated her like she was someone really important.
At that time, he was also fond of this beautiful girl and liked following her around.
When he saw her exquisite features, he found her pleasing to the eye, and his mood was very good.
Unfortunately, they spent too little time together.
He had to go to school, and he could only share the same bed with her when he came home.
They would talk to each other in the beginning, but later on, this slowly changed.
Chen Mengtian got to know Chen Qing, and she started to look at Jiang Zebei in resentment.
How did he feel at that time?
Jiang Zebei got up and placed the cured meat on the cutting board and the eggs in the bowl on the steamer in the pot.
He remembered now. At that time, he felt horrible.
He had believed that Chen Mengtian was going to be the person who would spend the rest of her life with him. Just like his parents, they would be together forever.
But she did not like him.
Later on, he learned of Chen Qing’s existence.
They argued and quarrelled with each other, but he found it meaningless.
