Coming to Pei’s house again, Pei Anzhu’s feelings were different this time—
Compared to the politeness and alienation last time, the Pei family seemed to be much more enthusiastic towards her this time.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yalan came up to him with red eyes:
“Just come back.”
Pei Anzhu paused and did not answer. He only looked towards the living room and saw that all four members of the Pei family were there, and the whole family had arrived neatly.
Zhou Yalan hit a soft spot and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
However, she quickly calmed down her emotions, invited Pei Anzhu to sit on the sofa, dismissed all the servants at home, and poured tea for Pei Anzhu herself.
Pei Anzhu has never been a slow-talking person. After sitting down, she got straight to the point:
"Mr. Pei, I won't say any more polite words. You must understand the reason why I'm here today. Is there anything I can help with?"
She has only one purpose for coming today, which is to return the gift of childbearing and to end the cause and effect.
Pei Jinchang has been in the top position for a long time, and few juniors are so presumptuous in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to lose his temper, but thinking of Pei Anzhu's rebellious character, he suppressed his temper:
"We hope that as the daughter of the Pei family, you can marry into the Feng family and maintain the marriage between the two families."
“I remember you said that as long as it does not violate the law and morality, does not have a negative impact on society, and is within your capabilities, you will not refuse.”
The expression on Pei Anzhu's face was hard to describe.
She had thought about countless possibilities in advance and was even prepared for a protracted war, but she never expected that the Pei family wanted her to get married.
She never wanted to get married.
In the previous life, I was only thinking about the road to ascension.
In this life, I have been thinking only about fulfilling the last wish of the original owner, providing care for the old Taoist priest until his death, and then finding a way back and continuing on the road to ascension.
But it happened that the conditions for marriage put forward by the Pei family were indeed in line with the several things she had said before, except that...it was not in line with her own wishes.
Pei Anzhu was silent for a moment and then asked:
"If it's a simple marriage, then Miss Pei Mingzhu can do it. And as far as I know, the Feng family is the top family in Yuncheng. Such a good thing will not come at the expense of my newly found daughter."
“So Mr. Pei, why me, please tell me the truth.”
Pei Jinchang did not refuse. He told the Feng family about finding an expert to tell their fortunes and finding a bride to marry. He also explained clearly the situation that Feng Jinglan had been living as a living dead for three years, and finally said:
“That horoscope belongs to you, so only you can go.”
"Don't you want to repay your kindness? If you agree to this marriage and help the Pei family get benefits from the Feng family, it will be regarded as repaying the debt you owe. How about it?"
Pei Anzhu finally figured it out—
In this marriage, the wishes of both parties are not important. After all, one is unconscious and the other has no choice. Although Pei Anzhu could refuse, the favor must be repaid.
Even if she avoids this marriage, the Pei family will probably ask her to do other things in the future. With Pei Jinchang's unscrupulous character, there may be other variables by then.
But if you agree to marry, in addition to repaying the favor, there are still benefits.
First of all, her future husband is unconscious and she does not have to deal with the relationship, which is a lot less troublesome for her.
Secondly, since it was in the name of happiness, it must at least be good for Feng Jinglan's recovery, and she happened to have some medical skills and could help him diagnose and treat him.
Finally, getting married does not stop her from continuing to live broadcast fortune telling and exorcise evil spirits.
But it’s not without its disadvantages.
At least she has to re-adapt to the family and social relationships of the Feng family, and the wealthy family is in deep trouble and is not as free as she is outside.
As far as Pei Anzhu is concerned, as long as she is not allowed to develop relationships with men and pretend to be deeply affectionate as husband and wife, everything else is easy to talk about.
Thinking of this, Pei Anzhu said:
"It's okay to get married, but we have to sign a contract. I will help the Pei family maintain the marriage and repay the kindness of the Pei family. From now on, the cause and effect will be settled. The Pei family will not let me do anything else for any reason or by any means in the future."
Dear readers, let me explain to you why the heroine chooses to get married: (Mild spoilers)
First, people in Taoism value cause and effect.
She believed that she owed the original owner the body she had taken possession of, and now that the original owner's parents came to her door, she had to pay it back.
Second, ascension requires the breaking of earthly connections.
Although she came from another world, she is connected with the original owner. To a certain extent, she is the original owner. She must repay her kindness and break her ties with the world before she can ascend smoothly.
Thirdly, as a Xuanmen boss, she is not forced, but voluntary.
Because marriage is a more cost-effective thing for her, and it is something she finds acceptable after careful consideration. Otherwise, if the Pei family asks her to do other things, it may be more embarrassing for her than marriage.
The above are the reasons why the heroine chooses to get married.
ˆPS:
In addition, those who like to read metaphysical fortune-telling, catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, don’t worry. Marrying someone is just an overkill. It is a reason for the heroine to change the map and upgrade. There are very few marriage and love scenes, and the hero is just a vegetative background lying on the bed. The heroine is pitiful, and the heroine purely pursues a career path, which does not affect her eventual ascension.
P.S. again:
Many treasures choose to abandon the article because the heroine wants to get married, saying that she is stupid for a big boss to be forced to marry, but it is not true~~
This won't affect the main plot.
Thank you, readers, for your support~! ! mwah! !
