Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 400 Don’t give up easily, don’t chase blindly

This marriage letter will allow you to stand up straight in front of outsiders and the Marquis's Mansion." Xiao Yuan said in a clear voice.

"Then why did grandfather ask you to do this? If the Marquis's Mansion doesn't fulfill the engagement, the marriage certificate should be returned to them. Can't he just burn you and the marriage certificate together? Why bother with this and embarrass me for no reason?" Hua Lei couldn't figure out the twists and turns here.

Xiao Yuan looked at the buds and said, "I asked my grandfather the same question. He said that from our perspective, if the Marquis's Mansion is unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract, it doesn't matter. We can just pretend that he and I have never received the marriage certificate.

If everyone in the Marquis's Mansion is an upright gentleman and they do not fulfill this marriage contract, then the marriage certificate given by Grandfather Pei will be just a piece of waste paper to us and will not have any disadvantages for you.

However, from the perspective of the Marquis' Mansion, this marriage certificate that is unwilling to fulfill the engagement will bring many hidden dangers to Brother Rong Jin.

According to the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty's intermarriage canon, if Brother Rong Jin does not fulfill the marriage contract and marries someone else, if one day, when I have achieved success and become fully-fledged, I make this marriage certificate public, it is very likely that Brother Rong Jin will be dethroned as the Crown Prince.

The person he marries can only be demoted to a concubine. And he is not allowed to marry another wife except you for the rest of his life. If I am not successful, I can also take this marriage certificate and beat the drum to announce the marriage when he marries another woman, which will have the same effect.

My grandfather said that he was not afraid that the Marquis's Mansion would not fulfill the marriage contract. Even if they did, as long as they did not deliberately manipulate your marriage, did not make things difficult for my sister and me, and even did not take care of us, it would be fine.

There is no need for us to embarrass others by holding a marriage certificate that they are unwilling to fulfill. It is better for us to return it to them directly in exchange for the safety of our siblings.

By then, if the Marquis's Mansion is willing to take care of my sister and me, and treat us as ordinary old friends and take care of you until you reach the age of 15, we would be very grateful.

We should treat the Marquis' Mansion as ordinary old friends and have normal interactions with them. If I have a promising future, I will repay them.

What my grandfather is worried about is that they are not only unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract, but also want to make things difficult for us, and put the blame on you, and do some unpleasant things such as demoting your wife to a concubine, and then you will be in a passive position.

Or, if, because you are as beautiful as a flower, they force you to be a concubine, abuse you, and make you depressed and unable to escape the clutches of the marquis's mansion for the rest of your life, then that is not acceptable.

Grandfather said that although Grandfather Pei was a gentleman, he didn't know Brother Rong Jin and his parents very well. If Brother Rong Jin, or Brother Rong Jin's parents were not gentlemen.

It is possible that they look down on you on the one hand, but on the other hand, they take into account the reputation of their mansion and the marriage certificate they have issued, and deliberately embarrass and abuse you.

Then the marriage certificate given by Grandfather Pei may bring you misfortune, or even your death warrant, so let me return the marriage certificate to them directly to prevent this trouble. "Xiao Yuan replied.

"Since grandfather is worried that the Marquis's Mansion will not fulfill the marriage contract, and this marriage certificate may bring hidden dangers to my sister and me, why doesn't he let you return the marriage contract to them as soon as you arrive in Shangjing City? Why do you want us to bear the risk for the next few years?" Hua Lei asked, looking at the marriage certificate in her hand.

"Because my grandfather believes that everything has two sides. If this is a good match, it would be a pity to reject the engagement without knowing each other well.

In addition, you were still young at the time and might not have been able to figure out your own feelings, so we gave you a buffer period to give you a chance to get to know the Marquis' Mansion and for the Marquis' Mansion to get to know you.

After you get to know each other better, you can decide whether to fulfill this engagement. If the Marquis's Mansion is worthy of entrusting your life to, then these few years are an opportunity for you.

Because in Grandfather's heart, you are the smartest. If you want the other party to fulfill this marriage contract, you will definitely try your best to seize this opportunity. Let Grandfather Pei and Grandmother Pei understand you and accept you.

If the Hou Mansion is not worthy of your lifelong trust, Grandfather also believes in you, you will take me away safely. He hopes to find a good husband's family. The Hou Mansion may be this good match, and he will be your support for the rest of your life.

He hopes that you will not give up opportunities easily, nor blindly pursue opportunities that you think are right. You should wait until you see everything clearly and understand what you want before making a decision. This is also the reason why he asked us to come to Shangjing City to find the Marquis' Mansion.

Of course, it is also possible that if what you did in the past few years did not please Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei, then their rejection of you would not be very harmful to you, since you did not know about the marriage certificate anyway.

Of course, if something unexpected happens before this, my grandfather also asked me to give you these two marriage certificates earlier or later." Xiao Yuan said.

"Any other unexpected things?" Hua Lei asked.

"For example, if you have someone you like, you let me take out this marriage certificate in advance. If Brother Rong Jin has arranged another marriage, I don't need to take out the marriage certificate. This is the case." Xiao Yuan explained. After a pause, he continued.

"Grandfather said that if you find someone else you like, you can not fulfill the marriage contract, but you must return the marriage certificate to the Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing the Marquis's Mansion. This is a person's duty.

If Brother Rong Jin didn't want to make things difficult for you, and just wanted to marry someone else, I wouldn't give you the marriage certificate. Then I would find a suitable time to return the marriage certificate to the Marquis' Mansion without telling you. Even if they didn't take care of us at that time. Grandfather said that this is a person's self-esteem. "

Hua Lei nodded, put the marriage certificate aside, and asked, "Grandfather specifically told you not to take out the marriage certificate if Rong Jin married someone else, and to return the marriage certificate without telling me.

Are they worried that I will embarrass the Marquis' Mansion with this marriage certificate? That shouldn't be the case. How can I embarrass the Marquis' Mansion with such power and influence just by using this marriage certificate?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "Grandfather is not worried about the Marquis's Mansion being embarrassed, but worried that you will do something stupid for a while. Grandfather said that you have been smart and thorough since you were a child, and this kind of thing should not happen.

However, he was worried that if you were attracted to the Marquis' Mansion and Brother Rong Jin, but Brother Rong Jin did not like you, he was afraid that you would get carried away by this marriage and end up loving someone but not being able to get them, and then turn love into hatred.

Then, with a desperate mentality, you use the marriage certificate to force Brother Rong Jin to marry you, or do some other tactical actions to stop the stone and bring disaster upon yourself.
