Chapter 191: Cousins Within Five Generations Cannot Be Married
“What are you causing trouble for?”
Ning Hao didn’t feel he had done anything wrong at all.
“It’s normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. I can promise you that later, there will only be you and your cousin in the backyard.”
His tone sounded like charity.
Qin Wanwan’s childish voice was sharp and powerful: “His words are so unpleasant, smash him.”
Su Wanrong, in a fit of excitement, actually threw the vase.
Qin Wanwan clapped like a little seal: “Sister, you’re amazing!”
Keke commented sharply: “I won’t say anything about three wives and four concubines. Although they are all scumbag men and there’s no need to differentiate, your fiancée hasn’t even entered the door yet, and you’re already defending your cousin and belittling your own fiancée outside.
If this really happens, on the first day of marriage, wouldn’t you still have to make your wife sleep alone? And ‘equal wife’? You’re making ‘spoiling concubines and neglecting wives’ sound so respectable.
Little sister, you should think carefully. If you ask me, it’s better to marry a philandering playboy who only talks about money and power, not feelings, than to marry a scumbag man who already has someone in his heart.
After all, if your cousin has any problems in the future, you definitely won’t be well off. You might even be tormented by the two of them to the point where you pass away young.”
Ning Hao became enraged: “What nonsense are you beast spewing!”
Qin Wanwan said fiercely and cutely, protectively shielding Keke: “Who are you calling names? Those two words are not yours, so why are you so quick to shift blame!”
Keke felt very moved, but he thought the cub’s sharp tongue must have been learned from Shang Wuyang.
This is good. She won’t suffer losses when she grows up.
Ning Hao was so angry he almost vomited blood.
“You… Su Wanrong, you’re really something, letting a child and a beast insult me!”
Qin Wanwan looked innocently: “Who has the time to insult you? We’re just here to join the fun.”
Su Wanrong: “Ning Hao, are you even a man? To be so rude to a child.”
“This marriage must be called off. I’m not playing along!”
Ning Hao became enraged: “The words of parents and the words of a matchmaker. Once the engagement is set, how can you break it off just because you want to? Besides, if the engagement is really broken off, don’t you want your reputation anymore? I’d like to see who would dare marry you then.”
Su Wanrong: “I’d rather shave my head and become a nun than marry you!”
The more she thought about it, the more the bird’s words seemed correct.
Just thinking about the life she would have married to Ning Hao made Su Wanrong feel suffocated. She still had a bright future ahead of her and didn’t want to die of anger at such a young age.
Break the engagement, it must be broken!
The crowd of onlookers grew, and Ning Hao felt completely humiliated.
He flicked his sleeve: “Good, good, good… These are your words. Don’t go back on them when the time comes!”
After speaking, his face turned ashen, and he strode away.
Keke shouted from behind: “Is your cousin your biological cousin? Cousins within the prohibited degrees of kinship cannot marry. People who marry close relatives either cannot have children, or their children are deformed, congenitally weak, or deformed. Only a few are healthy!”
Ning Hao, walking in front, stumbled and quickly steadied himself on a pillar.
The people around were also shocked and in an uproar.
This, this, this… How had they never heard of such a thing?
“You’re lying, right? Impossible!”
At this time, people did not have the concept that close relatives could not marry. Instead, they felt that marrying into the family was even better.
It was just that men could have three wives and four concubines, otherwise, many people might not have had offspring their entire lives.
Many people loudly questioned, disbelieving and unwilling to believe.
Keke snorted disdainfully: “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. This is not something difficult to investigate. Go and check the situation of people around you who have married close relatives.”
After dropping a bombshell, Qin Wanwan left with Su Wanrong, her small hands holding hers, and Keke flapped his wings and left the crowd.
Su Wanrong was still in shock, the sadness in her eyes replaced by astonishment.
Clearly, she was also stunned by what Keke had said.
She suddenly thought of her second brother.
Her second brother married his cousin. Three years ago, they had a sickly child who died within a year.
They hadn’t had any more children since.
It wasn’t until her second brother took a concubine that he had children, but his wife’s body was depleted from that childbirth, and the loss of the child had impacted her too greatly. She desperately wanted a child of her own, and her health deteriorated due to excessive worry. Now, she could barely stay alive with medication.
The whole family thought they were unlucky and had no luck with children.
But it turns out, was it because of close kinship?
“Sister, what’s wrong?”
While Su Wanrong was lost in her thoughts, a soft, sweet, childish voice sounded in her ear.
She looked down and saw the delicately carved little girl looking up at her.
Su Wanrong bent down halfway: “Thank you.”
If it weren’t for her and that bird today, she wouldn’t have even had the courage to question Ning Hao face-to-face, let alone propose a divorce.
Thinking back, she felt like she had used up all her courage for this lifetime.
Her hands and feet felt a little weak, but she was inexplicably excited.
Reflecting on it, she felt she hadn’t performed well enough. She shouldn’t have smashed the vase near Ning Hao’s feet; she should have smashed it onto him!
Qin Wanwan showed a sweet smile.
“You’re welcome.”
She gently patted Su Wanrong’s face with her small hand, like a warm little bun.
“Sister, don’t be sad. You look better and have more good fortune when you smile.”
“Don’t cry often, your good fortune will be cried away.”
Hearing this, Su Wanrong finally managed a smile.
No matter what she faced after the divorce, it couldn’t be worse than marrying Ning Hao.
Su Wanrong didn’t know how to thank the person and the bird. She removed a hairpin from her head.
It was made of gold, with beautiful craftsmanship, and inlaid with a smooth, light pink pearl.
“This is for you. Thank you for helping me, but I have to go back now. Can you tell me your names?”
“My name is Qin Wanwan.”
“My name is Keke. You are a person of good fortune, and you will meet a good man who will treat you sincerely in the future.”
Qin Wanwan stood on her tiptoes and patted Su Wanrong’s forehead with her little chubby hand.
“Wanwan gives you blessings. Sister will have good luck in the future.”
Su Wanrong smiled: “Can I have a hug?”
Qin Wanwan readily nodded.
Su Wanrong gently hugged the little girl. She was soft, and there was a pleasant fragrance about her.
She thought, if she could have a daughter as beautiful and considerate as Wanwan in the future, she would be truly happy.
Su Wanrong had to leave. After bidding farewell to Qin Wanwan and Keke, she left the restaurant.
Qin Wanwan watched Su Wanrong leave, then turned and saw a pair of very long legs blocking her way.
She took a few small steps back and tilted her head up.
Wow… these long legs belonged to her Daddy.
Shang Wuyang bent down and gently flicked her forehead.
“You’re small but quite capable. You almost had my restaurant smashed.”
Qin Wanwan only then belatedly remembered that the restaurant belonged to her Daddy.
She had taken the vase from the private room to let the pretty sister smash it.
That private room seemed to be quite a mess now.
