The Pregnant Daughter-In-Law Pressured Him to Marry Her and the Old Man Stopped Pretending

Era-Setting, Military Marriage, Face-Slapping Revenge, Long-Calculated Scheme, Regret & Chasing Wife Fire & Cemetery Tropes In her past life, Jiang Yuan’s fiancé—a man completely dominated by his mother—dared not defy his mother’s wishes to marry another, yet he refused to let Jiang Yuan belong to anyone else. His mother, unable to tolerate Jiang Yuan, paid three disreputable ruffians to violate her. Jiang Yuan fell pregnant, and the woman spread lies far and wide branding her as loose and immoral. In the depths of a harsh winter, shamed and hounded by villagers, Jiang Yuan perished in the snow—taking her own life and the lives of her unborn children, three lives lost together. After her death, Lu Qinian—the fiancé’s adoptive father—personally laid her to rest. On her tombstone, he carved the words: Beloved Wife, Beloved Daughter, Beloved Son. Reborn to change her cruel fate, Jiang Yuan carries her unborn child and presses for marriage—directly demanding to wed Lu Qinian, the adoptive father of her cowardly former fiancé. When she presses him to marry her: Lu Qinian says: “I am advanced in years.” Jiang Yuan replies: “I only love mature, steady men.” Lu Qinian says: “My line will have no heir.” Jiang Yuan replies: “That is exactly what I carry in my womb.” Later, their roles turn playful: Jiang Yuan teases: “You are getting on in years.” Lu Qinian replies: “Then I shall redouble my efforts in our bedchamber.” Jiang Yuan says: “This child is not yours.” Lu Qinian replies: “He looks the very image of me—dare you claim he is not mine?” At first, Jiang Yuan asks him: “Have I won your heart yet?” Lu Qinian answers: “Almost there. Try harder.” Later, he kisses her until her neck goes numb, and asks: “Have I won your heart yet?” Jiang Yuan breathes back: “Almost there. Try harder.” On the day the marriage is agreed, the former fiancé—still deluded—says: “Thank you, Father, for taking her in. Once Mother consents, you may divorce her, and I shall marry her.” In the end, he weeps in despair: “Father… you play unfairly! You stole the woman meant to be your son!” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Pregnant Daughter-In-Law Pressured Him to Marry Her and the Old Man Stopped Pretending — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
