Chapter 398 - Once you miss it, it's gone.
Ningbao gets angry just thinking about how her older sister is being disliked.
However, some relationships may truly be predestined.
"Master, have you ever thought that if you missed out on Sister Huixin, you might be single for the rest of your life and end up alone?"
Chen Boyu shook his head indifferently.
"I don't care, I've always been all alone."
Ning Bao frowned.
"Have you ever thought about whether Huixin will still have a good marriage prospects if you reject her?"
Chen Boyu paused for a moment. He had never really thought about this question before. He had always thought that as long as he didn't agree...
Lin Huixin is sure to find a good marriage. He has always refused Lin Huixin and kept his distance from her because he doesn't want to hold her back.
Lin Huixin is beautiful and capable, and her family dotes on her. They will definitely find her a good marriage.
Seeing Chen Boyu lost in thought, Ning Bao continued,
"My divination just now revealed your future with Sister Huixin..."
You have always stuck to your principles and rejected Sister Huixin, but because Sister Huixin is interested in you, she keeps looking for opportunities to show you her affection.
After a while, rumors started circulating in the village. You know how important reputation is to a girl.
After the rumors spread, Huixin was scolded by her mother. Huixin went to your house one last time to ask you if you wanted to marry her, but you refused.
She was heartbroken and extremely disappointed in you. Just then, someone came to propose marriage to Sister Huixin. Sister Huixin, thinking that it didn't matter who she married, agreed to the marriage.
After Sister Huixin got married, her husband's family heard the rumors about you and concluded that Sister Huixin was an immoral woman. Her husband and mother-in-law tormented her in every way. A year later, she died after giving birth to her daughter in a difficult labor.
You became completely despondent, eventually even abandoning your teaching position, living a muddled and unproductive life, and finally died in the mountains behind the village, your body already decomposed when discovered by the villagers.
Chen Boyu: "............"
For some reason, while Ning Bao was recounting his and Lin Huixin's experiences, those scenes kept flashing through his mind, and he could feel a distinct heartache, as if he had personally experienced them.
Unbeknownst to him, a tear rolled down Chen Boyu's cheek.
Ning Bao silently took out a talisman and placed it behind Chen Boyu's back...
The talisman turned directly into ashes and quietly scattered.
It seems to have carried away a hint of a sigh as well.
Ning Bao breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the ashes drift away.
She turned to look at Chen Boyu.
"Master, if you change your perspective, the ending for you and Sister Huixin might be rewritten and become a different version."
For example, you can follow your heart and accept Sister Huixin's love.
We should work together to get her family to agree to the marriage. It's a bit difficult, but not impossible.
Think about it, you're no worse than anyone else; you're a scholar who passed the imperial examinations.
You receive a monthly stipend from the imperial court, and you, as a tutor, also receive a monthly salary.
If you study more in your spare time, you might just pass the imperial examination and become an official.
Actually, aside from your age, you are a decent match for Sister Huixin.
Besides, your family is small and you live nearby. As long as the Lin family sees your sincerity, they will definitely agree to your marriage with Huixin.
Chen Boyu paused for a moment, then murmured,
Will it?
I have nothing; I can't give her a good life.
Ning Bao gave Chen Boyu a look of disappointment and frustration.
You have it?
