Chapter 1514
Dou Shu, a little girl, was not convenient to come to the Heavenly Prison to see Chen Guanlou, and it was easy to expose the relationship between the two.
So, Chen Guanlou took the initiative to see Dou Shu.
As soon as they met, the little girl knelt down to him and performed a great ceremony.
He accepted it calmly!
Dou Shu's guess in her heart was confirmed; the great hatred was avenged, and she felt happy in her heart. After being happy, she produced new confusion, at a loss, full of hope for the future, but also feeling lost and afraid.
Didn't know where to go.
She wiped away her tears, "When that woman was dragged away, she still tugged at my sleeve, telling me to protect Xiao Wu for the sake of raising me for many years. She really could say it! Their whole family owes our Dou family dozens of lives; why does she think I would soften my heart."
She was angry, furious, and anxious.
Angry at herself for not being competitive, actually taking the other party's words to heart, and even telling Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.
Furious that Chu Shi, at the end of her life, still wanted to manipulate her. Could it be that she was really a soft persimmon?
Anxious that the huge Dou family was left with only her; where should she go, what should she do in the future.
Her heart was lost.
Looking around, she only trusted Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen; she didn't dare to believe a single word of what others said. She was cheated until she was afraid, producing a stress response!
Chen Guanlou signaled her not to be impatient, "Solve things one by one. Erecting a grave for your father, sacrifices, these can all wait until later, not urgent right now. The most urgent thing for you right now is to break off the engagement!"
Dou Shu was first lost, then suddenly realized, "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for the reminder; fortunately for you, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
If the man's family had bad intentions, they could take the opportunity to manipulate Dou Shu.
For the sake of her own safety, for the safety of the Dou family's wealth, breaking off the engagement was very necessary, and it had to be handled as soon as possible.
"However, how should I break off the engagement? I have no elders, and I cannot come forward myself, this matter..." Dou Shu was anxious, afraid that her personal relationship would be manipulated by the man's family. At that time, wouldn't she be at the mercy of the man?
"This matter is not difficult to say." Chen Guanlou signaled her not to be impatient, "You go to the Ministry of Justice to find Minister Sun and be honest about your thoughts. This marriage was arranged by Qiu Gui and his wife for you; it doesn't count, and the couple didn't have good intentions toward you. Now that Qiu Gui's identity has been exposed, the marriage contract is naturally invalid. Let the Ministry of Justice issue a document, notify the local county yamen, and then ask a matchmaker to make a trip, and the marriage can be dissolved."
"Is it really that simple?" Dou Shu couldn't believe it, "Will the Minister of Justice see me, will he help me?"
"Yes! This case has shocked the palace, and the Emperor has been paying attention. You are an orphan girl and the victim; no matter what, the Ministry of Justice will stand on your side. When breaking off the engagement, don't forget to bring people from the yamen, let the other party write a letter of breaking off the engagement, and keep a copy in the yamen. To avoid the other party going back on their word in the future and biting you back."
Wealth moves people's hearts, and she is an orphan girl. It is simply a natural choice for eating up the family property.
As long as the man's heart isn't that upright, it's hard to guarantee he won't be tempted.
Dou Shu picked up her pen and recorded them one by one.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
"After breaking off the engagement, what should I do? I am living with a little maid now, trembling every day, always feeling unsafe."
Chen Guanlou nodded approvingly, "You have crisis awareness, this point is very good. You know, once the case is closed, like your situation, you will be targeted by most men. Marrying you is equivalent to marrying the Dou family. You are the perfect object for eating up the family property."
Dou Shu instantly showed a look of horror, "I, what should I do? I ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to save me!"
Before Chen Guanlou came, he had carefully considered Dou Shu's situation; it seemed she had gotten rid of the fake father and fake mother, gotten rid of the life of being manipulated, but had fallen into a new marriage crisis, as well as a life crisis.
She is a woman; according to social order, she must marry.
But she is the only person of the Dou family alive in the world, an orphan girl.
If she marries, it is impossible for her to take all the Dou family property. The Dou family relatives will jump out, and the husband's family will also jump out if they don't get all the Dou family property.
At that time, no matter how Dou Shu chooses, it is actually very dangerous.
Choosing the husband's family is betting on the man's conscience.
Conscience is something that exists if it exists, and doesn't if it doesn't. It's impossible to have a conscience over time!
Choosing the Dou family relatives is also betting on conscience!
Either way, she can't make the decision herself; it's all a life manipulated by others.
This fucked-up life, what is it for!
Chen Guanlou didn't want to see a good little girl jump out of one fire pit, only to jump into another fire pit.
He said solemnly, "Next, what I am about to say, you must listen carefully, ponder carefully, and think carefully! The first method, marry out, strive to find a kind family to protect the Dou family property for you. In the future, when you have children, strive to choose a child to have the surname Dou. Only in this way can you truly preserve the Dou family property and continue the Dou family bloodline.
However, the biggest problem with this choice is that kindness can be faked, and promises can be torn up. After ten or twenty years, the Dou family's affairs have become smoke in the eyes, and the man tears up the agreement, and you have no choice!"
Dou Shu's face instantly turned pale, and her body trembled significantly twice.
Chen Guanlou watched coldly and continued, "The second method, still marry out, but you have to change the method. Since your Dou family's case has shocked the palace, why not let the palace grant you a marriage. Before granting the marriage, put your conditions on the table, and it is best to ask the royal family to be the witness. In this way, the Dou family property and the heir are guaranteed."
"What if I only have one son, what should I do?" Dou Shu was terrified.
No one dares to say that their first, second, third, or fourth child will all be sons. She has to give birth to an heir for the husband's family first, and only then can she consider the Dou family.
Chen Guanlou then gave her an idea, "There is a third path, adopt a younger brother from the Dou family relatives and record him under your parents' name. Raise him to adulthood yourself! In this way, you cannot return to your ancestral home to live, and it is best to stay in the capital for a long time. To prevent the younger brother from being too close to his biological parents and returning to his original clan after growing up!"
Dou Shu pursed her lips, her expression exceptionally serious.
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, is there a fourth method?"
Chen Guanlou smiled softly, "Yes, there is a fourth method. Have you heard of the daughter of the Prince of Lu's mansion?"
"Are you saying?"
"Let the palace endorse you, let you inherit the Dou family property, neither marry nor take a husband, find a man to have two children with the surname Dou, inherit the Dou family property, and pass on the Dou family bloodline. Emulate the practice of the daughter of the mansion. Because the daughter of the mansion set an example for the world, doing so is not shocking. I believe the palace can understand your situation."
If this method is adopted, a new problem arises.
"But where should I go to find a man to have children?"
Dou Shu raised her head, frowning and thinking hard.
Immediately after, her eyes lit up, "I ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to fulfill the little girl's wish, give the little girl a child, inherit the Dou family property. Do not let the Dou family property fall into the hands of outsiders."
Chen Guanlou:...
I am only responsible for giving ideas; I really didn't sell myself!
