Chapter 567: Can Only Marry Into the Family
Upon hearing Nangong Li's words, Xiao Jinhua replied without hesitation, "As long as I can marry Wuyou, I would gladly go through fire and water!"
Nangong Li thought for a moment and said, "This matter is not so simple. It's not enough for you to just agree. You also need to ask your elders what they think. But even if I say it, it doesn't count. We still need to ask Wuyou and see what his parents think! You also need to discuss it with Wuyou. I suggest you don't go to Luohua Manor to propose marriage until you are absolutely sure."
Xiao Jinhua nodded solemnly after hearing Nangong Li's words: "Thank you. I will discuss it with Wuyou. But no matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try!"
"What if Shangguan Shulin wants you to marry into his family?" Nangong Li suddenly asked.
After Nangong Li said this, the entire hall fell silent. Li Zhuyun nudged Nangong Li's arm: "Do you know something?"
Nangong Li nodded: "As far as I know, Shangguan Shulin only has one daughter, Wuyou. Originally, he planned to take Wushuang back and let the two of them develop a relationship from a young age. When they grew up, he would let them get married and Wushuang would succeed him as the head of the manor."
But Wushuang refused, stating that she had always regarded Wuyou as her own sister and had no romantic feelings for her. Therefore, Shangguan Shulin and his wife allowed Wushuang to take Wuyou out to explore the world.
Firstly, it's to broaden Wuyou's experience in the martial world; secondly, it's to give her the opportunity to meet other men, ideally finding a husband she'd like, provided he'd marry into her family.
"No wonder you said that my third cousin's agreement wasn't enough; the approval of our parents and elders was also necessary. So that's what you meant." Li Liuyun suddenly realized.
Upon hearing Nangong Li's words, Xiao Jinhua felt utterly overwhelmed. He hadn't expected finding a wife to be so difficult. He didn't mind marrying into the family, but he didn't know if his grandparents, parents, or other family members would mind.
Xiao Jinhua looked up at Xiao Han, who sighed, "Third brother, I know Wuyou is a good girl. I also know that you two are deeply in love. As parents, we always hope that our children can be happy and fulfilled."
"Even if I agree to this marriage arrangement, I still need to consult your grandparents and mother. After all, the Xiao family is a prominent clan in the capital, and your grandparents and I are respected figures. There has never been a precedent in the Xiao family for a man to marry into the family!"
Xiao Jinhua nodded: "I understand. Let's discuss this matter in detail after Wuyou and I have talked about it!"
The most important thing right now is dealing with that poison master in the Southern Frontier; we need to resolve it as soon as possible. Last time I entered the Prime Minister's residence, I was thinking of gathering intelligence. I learned that those people who had disappeared in the city were actually captured and brought to the Prime Minister's residence to be used as test subjects, with the aim of turning them into a batch of poisonous human beings.
Those medicine-using people were mentally controlled by Gu magic, and their bodies were also implanted with viruses that could spread disease. Anyone who came into contact with them would be infected with the disease.
"If this spreads like wildfire, the plague will quickly spread, and they want to use these medicine-using people as the vanguard to attack Beili! Unfortunately, before I could even make contact with them, their identities were exposed."
Li Liuyun nodded after hearing Xiao Jinhua's words: "Third cousin, there's no need to worry. We already know about the situation at the Prime Minister's residence. Besides, there's a mother and child in the military camp. They are one of those people who were drugged."
I can diagnose the toxins in their bodies by examining their blood and pulse. Later I will come to your tent to examine your legs and your face; we can discuss that then.”
Xiao Jinhua was a smart man; he knew that his cousin said this because she didn't want to talk about it in front of everyone. In fact, he was quite certain that it was his cousin and the prince who had rescued him from the Prime Minister's dungeon.
But he himself knew that this situation was simply unbelievable, and probably no one would believe it if he told them. So how did his cousin and the prince manage to get from Beili to Nanjiang and just happen to save him?
Since his cousin and the others didn't want others to know, he would pretend not to know. After all, when he was rescued, he was on the verge of death and was unconscious, so it was normal that he didn't know.
Although he didn't know how his cousin had suddenly appeared at the Prime Minister's residence, he was quite certain that everything she did was for his own good. If she hadn't appeared in time, he might have died at that man's hands long ago.
The others also knew that the people who saved Xiao Jinhua were Yun'er and Nangong Li, but since the two of them wouldn't say anything, they all pretended not to know.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and these secrets aren't important to them. What's important is that Yun'er and the others saved Xiao Jinhua!
In another military camp, Wushuang found Wuyou: "Junior sister, are you alright? How is your health now? We just met this afternoon and I didn't have a chance to ask."
Wuyou smiled and twirled around: "Senior brother, do I look like something's wrong? I'm fine, better than ever before. By the way, senior brother, after the matter in the Southern Frontier is settled for our master, I plan to go home in a few days. Do you want to come back with me?"
Wushuang shook his head: "I might be a little later. My wife is just starting to emerge; we haven't officially confirmed anything yet. I didn't expect you to catch up. You've found your sweetheart so quickly."
"But have you really thought this through? How are you going to tell Xiao San about your identity? And what are you going to do about your master and mistress? You're their only child. Back then, your master said that your husband must marry into the family and you can't marry outside the family. Do you think Xiao San will agree to that?"
"Senior brother, what are you saying? I never intended for him to marry into the family. With his family background and status, he could marry noble ladies from powerful clans in the capital, let alone a young lady from a martial arts sect like me."
Besides, don't you men all feel that marrying into another family is beneath your dignity? How could I bear to let a man as virtuous and upright as Xiao San marry into another family?
For so many years I was under the spell of the Heartless Gu without even realizing it, because I had never met the man who could move my heart, until I met Xiao San.
In fact, I have to thank the person who cast the Heartless Curse on me. If it weren't for that, how could I have been sure of my own feelings?
"But senior brother, you need to step up your game! I think Lian'er is great, and I've accepted her as my future sister-in-law. It's just that she's still young and doesn't seem to know your feelings yet. You must seize the opportunity and not let someone else get there first!"
