Chapter 4: Marriage, a hot potato?

Capital Star, Yingyue Bay, the main residence of the Qu family.

Qu Tong looked at the crowd of familiar yet unfamiliar people in the hall, his back straightened, but his expression was very casual: "You brought me back just to let me take over this hot potato?"

The muscles on Qu Jianwen's forehead twitched, and he frowned and said lightly, "What hot potato? It concerns the royal family. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Yuexiang, who was standing by, said with disdain, "If you hadn't been dependent on our Qu family, do you think you, an orphan with a weak constitution, would have had such good luck to marry into the royal family? Not only are you ungrateful, but you even dare to talk back to your elders. It's true that you've been in the slums for too long, and you have the air of a poor person who has never seen the world."

These words were extremely sarcastic and everyone thought that Qu Tong would be angry or even cry out of grievance, but unexpectedly, Qu Tong just laughed softly, as if he had heard a joke.

"Since my aunt said it so well, let Qu Wanwan go." Qu Tong looked very relaxed, as if he had not heard what was just said, with a faint smile on his face.

"How could my Wanwan be possible?" Li Yuexiang slammed the table and was about to scold, but stopped talking halfway: "Anyway, you have to go if I ask you to. The Qu family has been raising you since your parents died. Don't be ungrateful."

Qu Tong chuckled twice, picked up the candy on the table, peeled a piece and put it in his mouth.

The original owner of the Qu family's marriage had some impressions in his memory. It was a child marriage. It was arranged by the Qu family's grandfather after he saved the current emperor. The original betrothal was between Qu Wanwan and the second prince, who is now the respected God of War by everyone. Qu Wanwan did not brag about it openly or secretly at the time.

Now he's going back on his word and asking her to take the blame, she doesn't believe there's no trick in this.

"Wanwan now has someone she likes. As a member of the Qu family, you should also consider the family. It is a good choice for you to marry His Highness on behalf of your sister." Qu Jianwen said in a calm tone, and he and Li Yuexiang cooperated to play the good cop and the bad cop respectively.

"Yes, niece, marrying into the royal family is what many people dream of. Your life in the future will be much better than your life on the barren planet." Zhang Yaru, who had been silent in the second house, also spoke up to persuade.

"That's right, sister Jiaojiao is about to come of age, the position of princess can be reserved for her!" Qu Tong seemed to have a flash of inspiration and looked at Zhang Yaru with a half-smile.

Zhang Yaru: “.”

He glared at Qu Tong, then shut up and stopped getting involved.

Qu Jianwen frowned, feeling unhappy but continuing to pretend to be considerate and comforting: "Your Highness the God of War is a noble royal family member, and the youngest and most handsome SSS general in the empire. You have made many military achievements. With the Qu family as your backing, as long as you work hard, you can enjoy the honor of being a prince's consort forever."

"So? What does it have to do with me?" Qu Tong was calm.

Seeing that Qu Tong was adamant, Li Yuexiang couldn't control her temper anymore.

"Qu Tong! What kind of attitude do you have towards your elders? Even if His Highness the God of War has a fertility value of zero, it is still too high for a useless person like you to marry. What else are you not satisfied with?"

After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, with everyone having different expressions.

Even Qu Jianwen glared at Li Yuexiang with dissatisfaction.

Although this matter has been announced to the entire Internet, it is obvious from Qu Tong's expression that he has not paid attention to it.

Qu Tong raised his eyebrows. So that's it.

The fertility rate in the universe is low, so people are very concerned about the fertility value. How could the Qu family be willing to marry their best daughter to someone who is infertile?

Just when everyone thought that Qu Tong would be even more resistant after knowing the truth and that they would have to resort to force.

"Can."

Qu Tong's answer once again plunged the atmosphere into an eerie silence. No one knew why Qu Tong suddenly changed his mind.

Just as Qu Jianwen hadn't finished exhaling, he heard Qu Tong turn a corner.

"But I have two conditions."

Qu Jianwen's expression visibly darkened. Li Yuexiang was about to lose her temper again, but Qu Jianwen stopped her and said in a deep voice, "You go ahead."

"First, I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor before we get married, and second, I want to be qualified to enter the Empire's First Military Academy."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuexiang showed a look of disdain, and Qu Jianwen also frowned:

"My second niece, it's not difficult to meet His Majesty, but you also know that the examination of the First Military Academy of the Empire is strict. It's not that your uncle is speaking harshly, but with your F physique, you are not even qualified to take the academy examination."

Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes showed agreement, thinking that Qu Tong was a little too idealistic.

Qu Tong had a casual look on his face, as if he was unmoved by the collapse of Mount Tai: "That's your business. If it doesn't work, let Qu Wanwan and Qu Jiaojiao go."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

"You ungrateful bastard!" Li Yuexiang cursed angrily.

"Aunt, I advise you to be more kind-hearted with your words. People who are foul-mouthed may bring disaster to the whole family one day." Qu Tong said in a low voice without even turning his head.

"You!" Li Yuexiang pointed at Qu Tong's back, shaking with anger. She had never been treated so disobediently by a junior before.

But in the blink of an eye, Qu Tong disappeared in the hall.

"Quiet down! Now is not the time to fall out." Qu Jianwen warned Li Yuexiang angrily.

In fact, he didn't like Li Yuexiang's personality. She was not stable at all, and she was not like a lady from a noble family. She only knew how to do bad things all day long. If the Li family and the Lan family were not related by marriage, and the son and daughter they gave birth to were not of good qualifications, he would have been too lazy to tolerate her.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Qu Jiancong from the second house asked worriedly.

The second branch has no resources or connections and has always been dependent on Qu Jianwen. It has not split up until now and is now afraid that the eldest brother will push his daughter Jiaojiao out.

Jiaojiao's physique is also A-level, and next year we plan to let her take the entrance exam for the military academy to meet some young talents.

Although His Highness the God of War is good, his fertility value is zero, and he only has one offspring, Jiaojiao.

"Everyone go away, I will discuss this matter with the Queen." Qu Jianwen pressed the bridge of his nose and waved his hand for everyone to disperse.

He also realized that his niece was just as stubborn as his father and refused to suffer any loss.

Originally this was a good marriage, but a few days ago the gene bank reported that the fertility value of His Majesty the God of War had dropped to 0.

Even though the fertility value is low, Wanwan's fertility value is 45, which is higher than 95% of people. She can try to cultivate offspring through intelligent test tubes, and it is possible to succeed. However, a fertility value of zero means that there is no possibility of fertility at all.

Qu Tong was about to go out for a walk, but just as he reached the gate he remembered that he had forgotten to ask for money.

I feel so exhausted. I have no money to go shopping. I might as well go back home and lie there.

Qu Tong turned around and staggered back.

Bypassing the servants in the yard, Qu Tong came to the remote West Garden.

She looked up at the tightly closed gate and the tall courtyard wall, and knew that her good uncle would not give her the key.

I have mobilized the supernatural powers in my body, but it is better than nothing.

Okay, if we can’t go up to the sky, we can only go down to the ground.

It's not shameful to crawl through a dog hole, but it's shameful to be seen by others.

…

But I'm just fucking speechless.
