Chapter 126 Engagement (shuhaige.net)

This matter was full of twists and turns and quite interesting. Although the Hesheli family had declined somewhat in recent years, their in-laws were still around, and that's how the news spread.

Jia Hui probably knew in her heart that she had done something wrong, especially towards her half-sister. She had no feelings for her half-sister, but she was afraid of pushing her back and making things difficult to handle.

So they simply spread the word that the family had originally intended to arrange a marriage between the cousin and the half-sister.

By the way, I should also mention my half-sister.

Jiayi was a bit confused by this sudden marriage. At first, she was confused and felt that this matter was inexplicable. Later, after seeing her elder sister's behavior and her aunt also analyzed it for her, she realized that her marriage was planned by others.

Jiayi knew in her heart that, according to family background, the legitimate nephew of the primary wife was a perfect match for someone of her status, but no matter how well she knew it, she couldn't get over it in her heart.

Her elder sister and cousin's behavior made them far from ideal husbands, and she was unhappy about it, but no one asked for her opinion.

Her aunt also felt that the man was not a good one, but since things had come to this point, she could only grit her teeth and accept it, though she would remember it in her heart.

Looking at her daughter, Aunt Chen said earnestly, "Although that man values ​​women a bit, he's not without his merits. I can see that he's someone who hates trouble, and his fondness for women isn't without limits. I had someone inquire, and it turns out that his concubine secretly tampered with the contraceptive medicine and got pregnant. He was quite ruthless, disposing of both the woman and the child. Don't expect to be a confidant with such a person. As long as you marry him and follow the rules, your life shouldn't be too bad."

Jiayi sighed. She could only accept her fate; there was nothing she could do. "Daughter understands."

Aunt Chen could easily tell that her daughter was unwilling. She only had one daughter, but unfortunately, she was not favored, otherwise she could have made a scene.

Jiayi resigned herself to marrying Hongyu, but she didn't accept that she would live a miserable life with Hongyu for the rest of her life. However, she decided to take it one step at a time. At least her stepmother hadn't married her off to an old man as a second wife. She would deal with it later!

Jia Hui has already explained things to her mother, and her mother also feels that her nephew has gone too far, so she's decided to turn a blind eye. Her daughter is much better! She'll have to carefully choose a husband for her who is excellent in every way.

Because Jia Hui, the older sister, hasn't settled her marriage yet, Jia Yi and Hong Yu have only just gotten engaged. As for the specific wedding date, there's still no clue.

Jia Hui was getting scared when she saw her mother asking her what kind of husband she wanted every day. So she decided to use "being sad" as an excuse to go to the temple to burn incense.

Jia Hui took the opportunity of offering incense to assign herself a destiny, which was said to be one of great wealth and honor, but one should not marry too early.

Jia Hui's mother was skeptical about this, but for her daughter's sake, she felt it was better to believe it than not.

In the end, she decided to postpone her daughter's marriage. She would still keep an eye out for eligible young men, but she wasn't in such a hurry to find a husband for her daughter.

Jia Hui felt much relieved after resolving one of the issues.

Based on the clues provided by Yinzhen, Cheng San investigated one by one and finally found the Hesheli family.

Cheng San hadn't noticed the princess in the backyard, but Jia Hui's "fate" sounded very mysterious, so Cheng Wu took note of it. Then he put some effort into investigating her and actually found out quite a lot.

Cheng San had some leads, so he quickly went to tell Yinzhen.

Cheng San: "Master, I have checked the list you provided. I found that the behavior of Hesheli Jia Hui, the legitimate daughter of the Hesheli family who is participating in the selection this year, is somewhat suspicious. I found that she gained great wealth and honor at the temple, but it is not easy for her to marry early. Moreover, some of the behaviors of this Princess Jia Hui are indeed a bit puzzling..."

After listening to Cheng San's explanation, Yinzhen had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Continue the investigation."

After Cheng San left, Yinzhen suddenly thought of a problem. He seemed to have forgotten that there was another type of person who might also dislike Yunrong.
