Married to Twins

When the little eunuch shrilled out the decree ordering Fang Xueyuan to marry Mu Jing, she was still in mourning.

The old injury in her knee was aching faintly. She was to marry for a second time within six months, and to her late husband's own younger brother, no less?

Although Fang Xueyuan had married Mu Huang, Prince Xuan, whom everyone envied, only she knew that he complained her tea was too hot, her pastries too sweet, her voice too loud, and her manners poor. He was especially strict to the point of suffocation whenever he saw her talking to his younger brother, Mu Jing.

All she wanted was for him to sign the divorce papers.

As for this younger brother, he flirted with every woman he met and couldn't even behave himself around his sister-in-law. If she married him, she'd probably end up with a whole prairie of green grass over her head.

In a fit of anger, she turned around, kicked over the imperial decree, lifted her skirts, and dashed straight for the moat.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Mu Jing had already been waiting by the river. He bent down to pick up the embroidered shoe she'd lost while running. "This marriage is just a temporary measure. If you want a divorce later..."

Easy for him to say. Only later did she realize this guy never intended to let her go.

At first, Mu Jing treated Fang Xueyuan as nothing more than a pawn, a pawn to use against his elder brother.

He deliberately arranged "chance encounters" with her in front of his brother, deliberately coaxed her into crossing the line, hoping to see that man unhappy and unsettled in his marriage. He even planned to marry her himself after his brother "died."

Until the day he learned that her leg ailment was entirely due to her saving him from an icy lake years ago. It hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and his breathing nearly stopped.

Later, she held out her hand. "Where are the divorce papers?"

He smiled. "I overdid it with my waist last night. I can't hear you."

Mu Huang married Fang Xueyuan not only for her family's military power, but also because her background was worthy of the imperial family. However, unlike other noble ladies, she wasn't quiet and docile, so she needed to be strictly disciplined.

He survived the battlefield by the skin of his teeth, only to hear that she had remarried.

The wife who used to be meek and obedient, like a well-behaved puppet, now nestled lazily in his younger brother's arms, her slender jade fingers playing with the jade pendant at his waist, a lively smile on her lips that he had never seen before.

Mu Jing rolled a peeled lychee between his fingers and held it to those rosy lips, coaxing her:

"Be good. You shouldn't eat too many. This is the last one."
