Happy Divorce Chapter 2 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
“I don’t plan to be husband and wife with you. What kind of baby marriage... ridiculous! I have no choice but to marry you. I advise you not to have too many expectations.”
When she was sitting on the wedding bed, her hands folded nervously on her knees, listening to the footsteps coming in, her heart pounding, waiting for her husband to lift the wedding veil, but she heard these ridicules.
She was almost stunned. While sitting in the wedding room waiting, she thought a lot about the situation when he saw her, and even thought about whether he would be disappointed because of her ordinary appearance. But she didn’t expect that he wouldn’t even lift her wedding veil and just say these words to her.
The anticipation that had been filling her heart suddenly turned cold, and her fingertips trembled. She was at a loss, not knowing how to face all this for a moment.
Since the Lantern Festival last year, she had been looking forward to seeing him again. She was even happy to be able to marry him and had expectations for this marriage that had been designated since she was a child.
It never occurred to her that he would not want to marry her. She was spoiled by her father and thought that just as her father said, she was the best and any man who could marry her would be lucky.
“What, you can’t speak? Are you stupid? Or did I marry a mute?” Seeing the bride’s delay in speaking, Yan Feixi frowned impatiently.
Su Manlu blinked. Her eyes were still red, but the man’s mocking tone was so clear that she knew all this was true.
Her husband didn’t want to marry her.
Su Manlu bit her lip, this realization really hit her hard.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing her embarrassment, she took off the red veil from her head and looked up at the man.
When she saw him again, his handsome and deep face remained unchanged, but the feeling before was gone.
At that time, he was playing the xun elegantly and leisurely, but now he was looking at her with an unruly look, his eyes full of impatience and boredom.
When she took off the red veil, Yan Feixi raised his eyebrows slightly. What he saw was an ordinary face. It was not beautiful. At most, it could only be regarded as fair and delicate. He had to admit that although he didn’t want to marry the daughter of the Su family, he was still disappointed when he saw her ordinary appearance.
Su Manlu saw all his expressions in her eyes. She clenched her palms, held back the discomfort in her heart, looked directly at him, and forced herself to speak. “You don’t want to marry me?”
Yan Feixi was slightly surprised by her melodious voice. He didn’t expect her voice to be so beautiful. Upon closer inspection, she was ordinary-looking, but her eyes that looked directly at him were beautiful, with deep black pupils, and the light-colored tear mole under her right eye made her pupils as clear as the moon.
Being stared at by such eyes would give one the illusion of being sucked in. Yan Feixi almost fell in. He looked away in embarrassment and snorted a little annoyed.
“That’s right, I don’t want to marry you at all.” What was a baby marriage? He was only four years old at that time and didn’t know anything about it, but he was engaged to an unborn baby. He only thought this marriage was ridiculous.
“Then why don’t you break off the engagement?” Since he didn’t want to marry her, why did he marry her and embarrass her like this?
“Do you think I don’t want to? If not...” Yan Feixi pursed his lips and glared at her viciously. He would never have married her if the old man hadn’t used his mother’s name to suppress him.
His glare made Su Manlu’s heart tighten, and his undisguised disgust made her even more confused. She didn’t know how she had offended him.
She was confused. Looking at him, she asked in a trembling voice, “If not, what?”
Yan Feixi glared at her, raging anger burning in his chest and abdomen. His unwillingness and being forced to marry filled him with anger. He also turned his anger on her but her calm attitude surprised him.
He thought she would be sad and angry after hearing what he said when he came in, but he didn’t expect her attitude to be so calm, so calm that he wanted to tear her apart and let her taste the anger and hatred in his heart.
He walked towards her, raised her small chin roughly, lowered his head, and smiled at her maliciously. “Do you know where you are marrying into? This is not the Su family. This place is full of wolves, tigers, and leopards. Don’t think you can continue to live your life like in the Su family.”
“What do you mean?” Unexpectedly, she didn’t show any fear. She still looked at him directly with her black eyes, and could even ask calmly.
Yan Feixi almost admired her. As an 18-year-old girl, he thought she would be fragile under the favor of the Su family.
“Want to know?” He smiled, beginning to look forward to what she would be like when she knew the situation in this family. “Soon, you will understand.” He let go of his hand, stood, and walked towards the door.
Seeing he was about to leave, Su Manlu subconsciously asked, “Where are you going?” Yan Feixi stopped and turned to look at her, with a half-smile on his lips, but the mockery in his eyes was so obvious.
“Remember, you are not qualified to ask me anything. This bridal chamber is left to you, Second Young Madam.” After saying these words, he walked away without looking back.
And she was left alone in the bridal chamber.
Su Manlu stared blankly at the door, her eyes moved slightly, and she stared blankly at the double red candles on the table, and then at the red brocade quilt on the bed. The cross-necked mandarin ducks under her fingertips were sewed by her stitch by stitch and with every stitch she sewed, the joy she expected increased a little.
But her wedding night was completely different from what she imagined. Every word he said echoed in her ears, so clear and harsh. There were still traces of his roughness on her chin, and the pain gradually spread. Her small hands grasped the brocade quilt under her, and her slender body couldn’t help but tremble.
How much she hoped this was a dream. How wonderful it would be if it were a dream, but it wasn’t...
Su Manlu slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and held her forehead tiredly, the pain in her heart still lingering.
She didn’t understand how she could dream about that time.
She was left in the room like that on that deserted wedding night. She only remembered her husband’s disgust for her and the look in his eyes that was waiting to see a good show.
She was at a loss and didn’t understand what she had done wrong, why she made him hate her, and why he married her even though he didn’t want to.
But it didn’t take long for her to understand what he meant.
The Yan family was complex. The father-in-law had many wives and concubines. Although Yan Feixi was born to the first wife, he was the second child. The first wife died when Yan Feixi was eight years old. In order to take charge of the power in the mansion and get the love of Father Yan, the concubines fought fiercely in private. The Yan mansion was small, but the women’s fighting was no different from the emperor’s harem.
The news that she was never well-received no matter what she did and was left alone in the bridal chamber spread throughout the Yan Mansion. Coupled with Yan Feixi’s neglect, she was like a joke in the Yan Mansion.
Although the servants of the Yan Mansion did not dare to be disrespectful to her, many unpleasant remarks were made in private. She was out of place there, with only Bi Luo standing by her side.
She endured all her grievances, knowing he hated her, but she still tried to please him in every possible way and accepted everything meekly.
