Chapter 21: Crushing Niu Family

Chapter 21: Crushing Niu Family

" Indeed, Patriarch Cai. If your memories aren't falling, the contract should be still with you." Niu Chao snorted. " And, I hope you won't make excuses like you lost the contract or accidentally burnt it. After all, you know what it means to breach an imperial contract..."

" Hmph! Niu Chao, You think I, Cai Yunhai, is a person who doesn't keep his word?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " I know, The price of losing the contract was three hundred thousand gold taels."

" However, I don't need to pay for that as I still have the contract."

" Then how is it possible that your eldest daughter, Cai Yixue married to another person?" Niu Chao snorted. " You think just because you are a powerful military family, You can treat our Niu Family as a joke?"

" Just remember, Patriarch Cai. You have broken the marriage contract between our two families. I will make sure to impeach you in the imperial court."

" Well? Those are very bold words, Brother Niu." Cai Yunhai looked at his servant who brought a paper scroll. " This should be the Thousand Year Peach paper contract issued by the Imperial Court, right?"

" Hah, Indeed. I guess Patriarch Cai still knows about this, huh?" Niu Chao snorted as he took the contract. Looking at the insignia outside, he knew it was the authentic contract Cai Yunhai signed back then, without any tampering.

" As you know, My son Niu Liang and your eldest daughter Cai Yixue were supposed to get married. However, since Cai Yixue is now married to someone else, You have broken the contract."

" So, according to this, You need to pay us four hundred thousand gold taels, or something of a similar value."

" Four hundred thousand gold taels, huh? That's a very big sum." Cai Yunhai nodded. " I would have definitely paid it...If I had agreed on this contract."

" But, I don't remember agreeing to it?"

" What?" Niu Chao's eyes narrowed. " Patriarch Cai, Are you backing away from your promise?"

He unfurled the contract and showed to Cai Yunhai with a grin. " Are you forgetting that rejecting this contract is the same as the authority of the imperial family?"

" How can I reject a contract which I didn't sign in the first place?" Cai Yunhai appeared to be baffled. " Steward, Can You see my signature?"

" No, I can't, My lord."

" And you, Guard? Can you see it?"

" My eyes are bad, My lord." The guard grinned wickedly as he walked near the contract, looking at it for a while. " Nope, I can't see it."

Niu Chao quivered in rage as he turned around the contract.

" Damn it! You dare to play with us-"

Before Niu Chao could finish his sentence, his eyes turned wide from shock. " Ho-How is that possible?"

Clenching the contract tightly, his back covered with cold sweat.

He could easily see his signature. But the place where Cai Yunhai signed, it was blank!

' Im-Impossible! He signed it. Yes, I remember all that!'

' This is an authentic peach contract paper authorized by Imperial Family. How can it get tampered with?'

" What happened, Brother Niu?" Cai Yunhai asked in a comforting tone. " Are you alright? Your body looks so pale and you are sweating too much..."

" This...This is deceit!" Niu Chao clenched his fist as he looked at Cai Yunhai. " Cai Yunhai... You know the consequences of fooling the Imperial Family!!"

" I... I am sorry." Li Rou sighed. " I couldn't give birth to a son for you."

" Damn it, How many times I have told you to not think about such bullshit?" Cai Yunhai got annoyed a bit.

" Yixue and Lingzhi are two gems of the family. You think they are any less than a son?"

" Besides..." Cai Yunhai grinned as he whispered. " We are still healthy. I keep giving my best shots so you can get a son..."

" Oh, You are so mischievous!" Li Rou blushed as she pushed Cai Yunhai away. " What if someone hears us?"

" Hehe, So what? I don't care..."

" Well, Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the Sister in Law enter the nuptial chamber instead of the bride?" Jia Hao gave a light chuckle when he saw Cai Lingzhi entering the room.

" Not very funny, Brother in law." Cai Lingzhi shook her head lightly as she passed him a box.

" Take this, This is Crimson Vigor Pill which will increase your physical strength." Cai Lingzhi spoke.

" What about Miss Yixue?" Jia Hao asked her in a faint voice.

" Elder Sister, She is a bit busy... But I am sure she will come here soon." Cai Lingzhi blushed a bit.

" Mm, I just wanted to ask you a question, Sister in law." Jia Hao chuckled.

" Can I marry both the sisters?"

Cai Lingzhi's expression changed as her cheeks turned crimson.

" Wh-What are you talking about? Hmph, If Sister Yixue hears about this, She will kick you out, Hmph!"

Turning around, she walked out, she stopped before the footstep.

" If you have capabilities, You can try it..."
