Harem Daily Life

"If you don't want to marry me, then I don't want to marry you either! Everyone here today is my witness. I, Hua Yurong, don't want this filthy thing like you. I'm destroying the marriage certificate, the marriage is off, and neither of you should ever touch me again!"

The marriage certificate in Hua Yurong's hand was torn into pieces. Zhou Chen frowned and then sneered, "This is the marriage certificate you destroyed yourself. You got engaged and then broke off the engagement. I'd like to see who in the capital would dare to marry you!"

"Ha, every man on the street is better than you, better than you. I could just grab any one of them and get engaged immediately."

Hua Yurong was also angry, and she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. She couldn't ignore the laughter of the crowd around her, and her heart skipped a beat. She decided to slip away first.

But Hua Ruyan's eyes darkened: "Sister, I know you are usually strong-willed and stubborn, but with so many people watching, you can't say anything reckless! Here's what we'll do: you pick up the marriage certificate and piece it back together. I'll go and apologize to Father and the Zhou family. As for you and Brother Chen... I wish you all the best."

After Hua Ruyan finished speaking, she burst into tears, which made Zhou Chen hate Hua Yuerong even more.

"Oh no, oh no, Miss has fallen for their provocation. She's probably going to choose a man to be engaged on the spot." He Yinuo grabbed He Jin'an's arm, even more excited than Hua Yurong on the field.

As expected, Hua Yurong not only didn't pick up the marriage certificate, but instead stepped on it a few more times, mixing the pieces of paper with the mud and water on the ground until they were indistinguishable.

She glared at Hua Ruyan and said, "You like filth, but I don't. I'll show you that the husband I chose is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than the one you chose!"

"Among you gentlemen here, are there any young men under twenty who are not yet engaged and would like to get engaged to me? I am the eldest daughter of the Hua family. Although we are not from an official family, my Hua family has been in business for generations and is wealthy and prosperous. I am the sole heir of the Hua family. I am good at business and know how to manage a household. I will definitely make money so that you can live a good life!"

Today, almost everyone who came to admire the lanterns was in a couple. Even those who weren't engaged wouldn't secretly get engaged to a stranger on the street without informing their parents. So, as soon as Hua Yuerong finished speaking, the crowd instantly took three steps back.

Hua Yuerong: "..."

"Hahaha, sister, see? I told you... no one likes you. Oh dear, the marriage certificate is nowhere to be found. You've lost your marriage and can't find a husband. What are you going to do?" Hua Ruyan hid in Zhou Chen's arms and sneered.

Suddenly, Hua Yurong walked towards the crowd and came to He Jin'an.

He Jin'an was held tightly by his two younger sisters, one on each side, and couldn't back down, so he stood still.

"Ahem, young master, I keep my word. I'll earn money to support you for life. Would you be willing to become engaged to me?"

He Jinan: “…”

My guardians on either side won't let me move, it's not that I don't want to retreat!

When Jing Yuwei saw someone trying to steal the prize, she immediately stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Who do you think you are, trying to curry favor with Young Master He? Get out of here!"

He Jin'an and his siblings all frowned. Before this, they thought that although Miss Jing of the Han Prince's Mansion was a bit pretentious, she was still a kind and gentle person.

"What my second brother wants to do is none of your business, Miss Jing." He Yinuo glared at Jing Yuwei, then looked at Hua Yurong opposite her: "Are you really willing to support my second brother for the rest of your life? Supporting him also means supporting our younger brothers and sisters. We have... um... three sisters and two brothers in total. Can you afford to support them?"

He Yucheng, who was in the crowd, was speechless upon hearing the number.

You didn't include me, your older brother, in that, did you? Hmph, fine, fine, you'd better think carefully about how you're going to coax me when you get back. If you don't do it properly, you really won't be able to coax me!

Hua Yurong exclaimed, "Ah! Your family..." Her younger brother and sister-in-law have to support them? What kind of family is this? She immediately felt sorry for the handsome young man in front of her: "You've had it tough too, raising so many younger siblings all by yourself. But don't worry, my family is well-off, we can afford it. After we get married, I'll help you raise your younger siblings, and we'll definitely raise them to be successful."

He Jinan: “…”

"No way! What kind of marriage? I won't allow it!"

Jing Yuwei panicked and stamped her foot, saying, "Young Master, you can't agree to that!"

"This is so annoying! Someone come and drag her away!" He Yinuo shouted. Suddenly, several people appeared from the crowd and tried to pull Hua Yurong away.

"It's not her, it's her!" He Yinuo pointed at Jing Yuwei.

Jing Yuwei stumbled: "Fifth Miss, you..."

"Take them away, take them away," He Yinuo commanded.

"Second brother, say something. I think this young lady is really nice; she's willing to take care of us. Third sister, cousin, what do you think?"

"..."

He Min coughed lightly: "Well, I'm timid, I won't offer my opinion." What's the difference between this and selling her second brother out in the street? Little sister, you should be more careful.

He Yanran tugged at He Yinuo's sleeve: "This is a matter of great importance, we can't make the decision ourselves."

When Hua Ruyan first saw that Hua Yurong had chosen such a handsome young nobleman, she was a little jealous. But when she saw that he had no interest in her, she mocked, "Do you really think that just because you have a rich dowry, he will be interested in you? Ha, you overestimate yourself. Someone who has torn up his marriage certificate, you should go to a nunnery and become a nun. Don't even think about getting married for the rest of your life! Hahahaha."

"Okay, I agree." He Jin'an nodded as if possessed.

"what?"

"what?"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, one from Hua Yuerong and the other from Hua Ruyan.

Hua Yurong's previously low spirits lifted instantly, and she asked in a daze, "You agree, you agree to let me take care of you for the rest of my life?"

He Jinan: “…”

"I mean, I agree to the engagement." He Jin'an thought that the woman his sister liked was always better than the woman his sister didn't like.

Moreover, although Jing Yuwei is beautiful, her intentions are impure, and after spending time together today, there is no sense of rapport whatsoever. He Jin'an is not one to judge by appearances; compared to a beautiful face, he is more interested in an interesting soul.

The girl in front of us, who caught her husband cheating and then destroyed her marriage certificate, and dared to say "I'll take care of you for the rest of my life," seems to be more interesting.

Hua Yue Rong's face broke into a big smile, sincere and open, as bright as the warm sun of early spring.

"Stop grinning like an idiot. I'm warning you now, we younger brothers and sisters are very expensive. Since you promised to support us, you can't go back on your word."

He Yinuo stretched out her little finger, wanting to make a pinky promise with Hua Yuerong.

"Don't worry, a promise is a promise." Hua Yuerong immediately made a finger pact with He Yinuo.

He Yinuo grinned from ear to ear; he had gained another lifetime meal ticket. "Hmm, I'm such a lucky kid."

"Fourth Brother, we have a sister-in-law now?" He Xiaobao felt it was too unreal and pinched He Yucheng's thigh.

"Hiss—" He Yucheng pinched the little hand that was pinching his leg: "Why are you pinching yourself and me?"

Does my elder brother, the Crown Prince, actually have any authority? Everyone's trying to annoy me!

On the carriage back to the palace, He Jin'an's brows would sometimes relax and sometimes furrow in thought. He Xiaobao and Xiao Liu were already asleep. He Yucheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and let in some air conditioning.

“While you were talking just now, I sent someone to inquire. The Hua family is a merchant family with businesses in the capital and several surrounding cities. There are two sisters in the family, Hua Yuerong and Hua Ruyan. Hua Yuerong is the future head of the Hua family. She is sixteen years old this year. She has been literate and arithmetic since she was a child. She is clever and righteous. The Shanci Hall in the city was founded by her to help the poor.”

He Jin'an said with a smile, "I thought you were just watching the fun, but I didn't expect you to take care of so many things."

He Yucheng cleared his throat: "After all, she's my future sister-in-law, and I don't want my second brother to be forced into an arranged marriage." He then teased, "Has my second brother figured out how to inform Father and Mother?"
