Chapter 116: Marriage between close relatives is invalid
They wanted to see Shen Ruochu's attitude, but the latter smiled at He Zheyan, "Thank you, compared to my silly brother, you are much more considerate."
He Zheyan said helplessly, "Sister, you'd better go back to the room quickly, otherwise Yuanyuan might not catch a cold, but you do."
"Okay, okay, got it, little housekeeper." Shen Ruochu turned around, waved to Jian Yunsang, and then said to Chao Chao, "I'm going to change my clothes first, let's talk later, baby."
Chaochao widened her eyes. Sister Chuchu called her, called her baby?
"...Goodbye." She waved subconsciously, and when she returned to the house, she couldn't help but look up at He Zheyan.
Just now, my eldest cousin and sister Chuchu, um...
Many question marks popped up in Chao Chao's head again.
He Zheyan had already turned around to call Yuanyuan, "Why don't you come up? You are the only one left here."
"No way, my sister is still here watching me swim." Yuanyuan felt that he was more at ease after Sister Chuchu left. She was the only one left in such a big swimming pool, it was so spacious, and his sister could concentrate on watching his swimming.
Jian Yunsang watched the two brothers bickering. It was really rare to see He Zheyan helpless in front of Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan, this kid, has become more courageous recently. How could he be so desperate to go against his own big brother? Isn't he afraid that his snacks will be confiscated in the future?
She couldn't help but shook her head and said to Yuanyuan, "We just got off the plane and are a little tired. We were just going to say hello to Chuchu and go back to the house to rest. Yuanyuan, you continue to play, we are leaving."
"Ah? Eh..." Yuanyuan was dumbfounded. He lay in the water and watched Jian Yunsang and Chaochao walk towards the house.
Then, he slowly turned his head, looked at He Zheyan's expressionless face, and shrank his neck fiercely.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt very cold. It's really not suitable to go into the water in the winter.
Jian Yunsang took Chao Chao back to her room and found that her expression was still a little dazed.
She was a little confused, so she poured her a glass of water, watched her take two sips, and then asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Chao Chao came back to his senses, and as if he had discovered something surprising, he said to Jian Yunsang excitedly, "I found a secret, Mom."
"Hmm?" Is there any other secret that she doesn't know?
"Sister Chuchu and my eldest cousin, are they going to get married in the future? Are they an engaged couple?"
Jian Yunsang, "..."
ha?
What did she hear, Chuchu and Zheyan? Want to get married? Are they an engaged couple?
How come she doesn't know about this?
However, she felt stunned, but the people of the Great Qi Dynasty seemed to have suddenly realized something.
Especially those 'fans' who didn't believe that He Zheyan was a mean and despicable person, all nodded vigorously and exhaled slowly.
"Yes, yes, yes. They are sixteen and eighteen years old, which is the age for engagement. No wonder they are so casual. It must be because they are engaged."
"Really? They are cousins, handsome and pretty, and well-matched. This is a perfect match. The two families must have reached a consensus long ago, so they don't shy away from suspicion."
"That makes sense. No wonder he was the only young man in that swimming pool."
Everyone felt that they had discovered the truth, and thought with some self-mockery: Why didn’t they think of this earlier? They needed Chaochao to remind them, and they almost misunderstood.
If they were an engaged couple, they could still...accept such behavior to a certain extent.
Although some people still think that even if they are an unmarried couple, it is still against etiquette.
But compared to having no relationship at all, it's much better.
Thinking of this, they looked up at the sky expectantly, waiting to hear the affirmative answer from Jian Yunsang.
However, after hearing what Chaochao said, Jian Yunsang was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.
After a while, she hugged the confused Chao Chao and said with a smile, "Of course not. How could your sister Chu Chu and your eldest cousin be engaged?"
Hearing the negative answer, Daqichao and everyone took a deep breath.
They couldn't understand it. Since they were not an engaged couple, their behavior was too rude.
Moreover, even though Jian Yunsang, her elder, was present, she didn't say a word. This was too unreliable.
Some people not only have opinions about Shen Ruochu and He Zheyan, but also look down on Jian Yunsang.
Chaochao didn’t have such complicated thoughts. When she heard her mother’s words, she was very surprised and said, “Ah?” ' said.
"But, but I just saw my eldest cousin putting clothes on Sister Chuchu, and his movements were very gentle."
"That's because your eldest cousin is a gentleman."
"What is gentlemanly manners?"
Jian Yunsang took the cup from her hand and put it aside, patiently explaining, "Gentlemanly demeanor means that a man is polite and well-mannered in dealing with others. Your sister Chuchu will easily catch a cold if she doesn't keep warm in time after coming out of the water. Your eldest cousin is her relative, so he naturally cares about her health, so he immediately took the bath towel and put it on her."
After thinking for a while, she added, "Of course, your cousin didn't touch Sister Chuchu's body, right?"
Chao Chao thought about it and realized that he had indeed not encountered it.
Jian Yunsang took the opportunity to teach Chaochao a lesson, saying that it was okay to put clothes on the sisters like her eldest cousin did, but they were not allowed to let others touch their bodies. This was true for my brothers, other relatives, and even more so for strangers.
If anyone touched her, peeked at her, or pulled her clothes, she would tell her parents immediately.
Seeing that Chao Chao understood, she smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone that they are an engaged couple when you go out, okay?"
"Yeah." Chao Chao was a little embarrassed and whispered to Jian Yunsang's ear, "I told mom, but why can't they get married? Sister Chuchu is pretty, and my cousin is also very, very handsome."
Jian Yunsang laughed. Does this little girl know what handsome is? It must have been Yuanyuan or Yu Zimo who taught her, "Because they are cousins. Marriage between close relatives is invalid and prohibited by law."
Chao Chao blinked, a little confused, "Ah? What does consanguineous marriage mean?"
"It is the marriage between direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations, which is close relative marriage."
Chao Chao obviously couldn't understand the meaning of these sentences.
Jian Yunsang explained it in a more understandable way, "To put it simply, people with close blood relations cannot get married. For example, cousins, aunts, nephews, and uncles cannot get married."
Chao Chao widened his eyes. Is that so?
