[Today's outburst has arrived! The fourth is in the process of trying harder …]
"Moreover, she had acted on her own initiative in these two matters. And, they had resulted in irreparable and serious consequences! I don't mind that she had messed with me that day. But, Guan Qing Han had almost been forced to commit suicide by the corrupt scholars of the world! And, what would happen if the relationship between the two families were placed on the table at this moment? There would be no leeway for us to turn the situation around!
"Now, I'll have to face a big problem if I accept this marriage. But, the two families will break off completely if I don't accept it! Fortunately, I've always had a good impression of this little girl. So, it wouldn't be difficult for me to accept it. But, what if I didn't have a good impression of her? It can be imagined that the two families would become mortal enemies from then on. And, they would fight to the bitter end for several decades! Then, the Jun Family would be exterminated, and the Dugu Family would be exterminated! And, neither of our families would be able to bear the consequences of that!
"And, all of this could've been avoided. Xiao Yi is here at this moment. But, I still want to say this. She's so capricious. She doesn't consider the consequences of her actions. So, how can I feel at ease handing over the position of the first wife to her? "
Jun Moxie had spoken these words in a very heavy tone. His tone was gentle, but it was also very serious.
Dugu Xiaoyi lowered her head in shame. In fact, she had almost buried her small head in her chest. She was an exceptionally intelligent girl. So, she had long since realized that the consequences of her mischievous actions had been very bad. And, it had been very tiring …
The Old Lady opened her mouth to speak. She wanted to say a few words in her granddaughter's defense. But, she didn't say anything in the end. Instead, she sighed softly. Dugu Zong Heng and Dugu Wu Di looked at each other. They had put themselves in Dugu Xiaoyi's shoes. In fact, they wouldn't have dared to have such a daring wife.
"But, Xiao Yi is still young …" The Old Lady's wife had been watching Dashao the most. She was also Dugu Xiaoyi's mother. She had hastily interjected, and defended her daughter.
"Yes, the little girl is indeed young … But, that doesn't mean that she deserves to be forgiven for her mistakes! Auntie, Dugu Xiaoyi is from an aristocratic family! The Dugu Family's pampering of her had led to a terrible consequence. In fact, it was a very sad consequence. That little girl had become the representative of the Dugu Family to a certain extent. Pay attention, it's the direction of attack! "
Jun Moxie said sternly, "You can put it this way. If the seven young masters cause trouble outside and suffer losses, as long as it's not too excessive, your family will let the younger generation deal with the matter on their own. The older generation will not interfere. However, the Dugu Family wouldn't care about right or wrong if something were to happen to Xiao Yi outside. In fact, the entire Dugu Family would go into battle together. No matter how unreasonable it is, when it comes to the little girl, it will become very reasonable. Fortunately, the little girl has a kind nature. Otherwise, there would have been many unmanageable consequences. "
"When all is said and done, Dugu Xiaoyi's actions have already represented the The Dugu family. If she were to marry into the Jun Family one day, then she would be able to represent the powerful forces of the Jun Family and the The Dugu family! This is tantamount to expanding her influence by more than twofold! If she were to act recklessly at that time, then I can clearly say that apart from a few mysterious and hidden aristocratic families, all the other aristocratic families in the world may be destroyed by her words! "
"Perhaps she will have the potential to become the first wife in the future. But, I can't agree to it now. I don't dare to agree to it!"
Jun Moxie said boldly, "Let me ask you. You wouldn't have agreed to it if you were in her shoes, right? So, why do you have to force me? "
"I, Jun Moxie, will not only marry one woman. For now, I have already confirmed that I have Guan Qing Han! And, Guan Qing Han saved my life at all costs because of Xiao Yi's mistake. And, this has led to this complicated situation. To put it bluntly, I would have died if Sister Qing Han hadn't risked her life to save me. Then, how would the Jun Family and The Dugu family face this? Wouldn't it be unfair to Sister Qing Han if I had promised to make Xiao Yi the first wife? Because, she had made up for Xiao Yi's mistake. But, she had incurred the criticism of the world's scholars! She had been consigned to eternal damnation. And, she would still have to stand under the little girl in the end. How could this be tolerated? "
"But, Guan Qing Han has always been your sister-in-law! How could she be your first wife? "The Old Lady pondered over Jun Moxie's words. Then, she finally asked.
"Old Madam also said that it was all in the past. That's all in the past! And, I believe that Guan Qing Han's current status is that of my Third Uncle's adopted daughter. And, I believe that this isn't a secret anymore. So, why can't she marry me? Moreover, I've never thought of dividing them into seniority. Who's older and who's younger? That's something that we have to fight for. And, we can even recognize you as the eldest sister as long as others submit to you. "
Jun Moxie smiled, "Let's say that I've always been in a passive position in this matter. And, I don't want to be moved like this. So, it's too hasty to talk about marriage right now."
"You mean … no matter what, you can't give Xiaoyi the title of legal wife?" Dugu Zong Heng fiercely looked at Jun Moxie. Then, he leaned over and spoke in an extremely dangerous tone.
"Hehe, that was only a rational analysis. I've always had a principle. I don't like to accept threats no matter what I do. It doesn't matter who threatens me!" Jun Moxie played it down and said, "I would feel very … bored if I had to accept threats in my own life. So, it doesn't matter if we break up."
Jun Moxie's unyielding attitude made Dugu Zong Heng very unhappy. So, he glared at Dugu Zong Heng, and got angry.
"Alright, alright. Let's not dwell on this issue any longer." The Old Lady suddenly smiled. She was all smiles as she said, "Xiao Yi's status hasn't been decided yet. But, I believe that Mo Xie won't consider this matter for the time being. So, it's the same to get engaged first. And, the children and grandchildren will take care of themselves. So, why should we care so much about it? As long as Mo Xie treats Xiao Yi well in the future, and tolerates Xiao Yi … nothing is better than that!
"Moreover, Mo Xie hasn't yielded even a little bit in the face of the Dugu family's pressure. He's spoken frankly. His words may be unpleasant to hear. But, it's undeniable that every word he's spoken is the truth. Everyone has heard it clearly. And, this has made me see the value of a man! A man who can't be subdued by force is a true man! If Mo Xie had been intimidated by our family, and would've agreed to whatever we said … then, I would've reconsidered whether or not I should've agreed to this marriage. This brat, Mo Xie, is pleasing to my eyes. So, you've passed this test … "
Dugu Zong Heng and Dugu Wu Di felt faint at the same time. [You're the one who said it, and you're the one who said it. But, what should we do? It was your idea to test him when we came here. And, it's your idea not to test him now. So, what else is there to say when you've passed this test? Who would dare to say anything …?]
"The two of you will make an appointment with Jun Zhan Tian in a few days, and settle this matter first. We can talk about it later. In any case, this marriage must be settled first. "
The Old Lady bossily made these arrangements to the two men. She didn't even look at them, "Well, you will personally go there in order to show your sincerity. Then, you will send a matchmaker to exchange documents after you've come to an agreement. Then, you will find a suitable time to carry out the engagement ceremony. "
She thought for a moment, and then said, "This ceremony will be held in the presence of the Royal Family and the civil and military officials. Moreover, we will take advantage of this opportunity to collect the money that we've given away in the past few years. I've recorded all the money that you and your father have given away in the past few years. It's a thick book. I'll ask Xiao Yi to send it to you later. Remember, we've spent money on those whose names are on it. So, we can't let any of them off. We must at least collect back our capital … "
"Well, we'll also invite those whose names aren't on it. After all, we'll give them some face, right? This matter is settled. We'll send out invitations when the two of them get married. We don't need to be so extravagant this time. We'll arrange for a few hundred people! Well, we can consider expanding the scale if the Jun Family pays the money. After all, the Old Jun Family still has some face … "
"Well, we must look at the amount of money clearly. We've given five hundred taels of silver at the beginning, and we've only given four hundred taels of silver this time. That would be too much … We can't make friends with such people in the future! Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bride's money. Those who celebrate birthdays, give birth to children, move … Hey, I say, Old Man, isn't your birthday coming up soon? It seems that we'll be able to receive two gifts this time. The time is very tight. Not bad. "
Even Jun Moxie's head was covered in cold sweat this time.
[The Old Lady is very thoughtful …]
[They're not from the same family, and they're not from the same family.
Dugu Wudi grinned, and nodded. He had a look of a money-grubber on his face, "Yes, yes, Mother is very wise." It seemed that he would be able to clear the Jun Family's debt of ninety million after receiving these two gifts …
"Tell the Imperial Astronomer to quickly pick an auspicious day! The most important thing is to tell him to stagger the date of the engagement and the birthday celebration … Then, inform Kong Ling Yang, and ask him to take charge … "
Dugu Wudi hastily interrupted her, "Mother, Kong Ling Yang is already dead …" he looked at Jun Moxie as he said this. [Kong Ling Yang's death must've been caused by this brat. Then, there must've been a ghost!]
"Dead? Oh, it's such a pity for such a talent. " Old Mistress Dugu's complexion didn't change as she sighed. She didn't know what kind of talent she was feeling sorry for … Was it a pity for a knowledgeable scholar … or was it a pity for a wedding host …? "Then, let's find an Old Chancellor from the Imperial College.
Dugu Zong Heng nodded and said, "That's simple. Although those fellows don't usually get along with us, it doesn't matter. If they don't want to come, we can just tie them up with a rope. Once we get to the scene, if they still dare to not give us face, they'll have the guts!! "
"That's good!" The Old Lady nodded in a gratified manner and said, "As for the other matters, you two big men can do as you see fit. This old woman is a Daoist woman. So, it's not appropriate for her to get involved in these matters …"
Jun Moxie rolled his eyes. [What kind of person is this?! You're not getting involved in these matters? You're taking care of everything yourself … But, that old fool Dugu Zong Heng wants to tie someone up with a rope. And, the most outrageous thing is that The Old Lady is saying, "That's good!
