Chapter 1515
"You little girl, I kindly gave you an idea, how can you return evil for good."
Chen Guanlou pretended to be angry.
Dou Shu's face instantly turned pale.
She was a sensitive little girl to begin with; being teased like this was equivalent to a denial of her personality and character. For a time, she couldn't accept it, and tears fell down "swish, swish, swish."
"I just said it casually, and you took it seriously. You little girls are just delicate in thought and love to think too much. If you want to inherit the Dou family property and want to set up a household, this temperament must be changed. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be cheated, robbed, and stolen clean."
"However, I don't want to marry, and I don't want to adopt, and I can't find another man to have children. The world is big, but I only trust Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."
"Your willingness is your business, but I also have to be willing. I can clearly tell you, I am not willing."
Dou Shu was aggrieved, "But you and the daughter of the mansion... why..."
"Because the daughter of the mansion is strong enough; she doesn't need me, and she can take good care of the children. But you, you are too weak. Once a relationship occurs between us, and there are children, regardless of whether we are married or not, I will be forced to take on the heavy burden of raising children and protecting the Dou family property. I am lazy and never take on any responsibility other than my own. So, don't look for me."
Chen Guanlou didn't have the slightest bit of cherishing the jade, adhering to the principle of saying ugly words beforehand, and never giving the other party any fluke ideas.
Dou Shu was going to cry again.
She knew she was weak; knowing Qiu Gui was fake, she didn't have the ability to expose the other party and could only look for foreign aid.
Now, she still had to look for foreign aid to preserve the Dou family property.
"Actually, the second and third methods I gave you are very suitable for you. You are not the daughter of the mansion; you are not that strong. And behind the daughter of the mansion, there is the endorsement of the Princess of Lu. You are fighting alone and cannot carry this heavy burden of the Dou family. Wealth moves people's hearts; you are a little girl holding a lot of money, comparable to a child holding gold through a busy market. The degree of danger cannot even be described in detail."
"If I marry, I will be unable to help myself. Once I have children, I will be restrained everywhere. The Dou family will eventually fall into my hands."
"Then adopt a younger brother. If one younger brother is not reassuring, adopt two. Let them compete with each other!"
Chen Guanlou gave another idea.
Dou Shu wiped her tears, "I understand what Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen means; although you gave me a fourth idea, you actually don't look favorably on me in your heart. After all, I am too weak and have no reliance. Only by marrying can I have a glimmer of opportunity."
Chen Guanlou didn't deny it, just remained silent.
Silence is affirmation.
It's not that he looks down on Dou Shu, but the world is sinister, and an orphan girl holding a lot of money is comparable to a child holding gold through a busy market. The degree of danger cannot even be described in detail.
Dying cleanly can be considered lucky.
He is just afraid of being kidnapped and imprisoned in the name of marriage; that is truly calling heaven and heaven not responding, calling earth and earth not responding.
Chen Guanlou can help her for a while, but he cannot help her for a lifetime!
One day, she dies in some corner, and I guess the world doesn't know, and he doesn't know either. Even if he can avenge her, people are already dead, and everything is too late.
Seeing his silence, Dou Shu knew his answer.
She wiped her tears and smiled bitterly, "Why is Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen unwilling to marry?"
Chen Guanlou smiled implicitly.
Marry?
Decades pass, one young, one old, how can one bear it?
Faked death?
Troublesome!
Without worries, without the ties of wife and children, is the standard configuration for longevity.
If one doesn't die, why need descendants to inherit!
The essence of inheritance is that one generation follows another, like a relay race. If he doesn't die, there is no need for one generation to follow another; he is the generation!
Seeing the other party unwilling to make a sound, Dou Shu knew she had asked over the line.
She said "Hmm," nodded, "I will carefully ponder the several plans. Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for being willing to see me today. I will go to the Ministry of Justice in a while, implore the Minister to make the decision for me, and help me break off the engagement!"
"Go quickly! This matter should be early and not late. Before the man's family reacts, hurry and break off the marriage! You don't have to worry about anyone restraining you, but if anyone uses the marriage to kidnap you, report them, say they sympathize with Qiu Gui's family, say they harbor evil intentions, and are suspected of replacing the peach with the plum. I guarantee no one will chatter in your ears in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Dou Shu nodded heavily and laughed out loud.
"I will. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has helped me a lot; I don't know how to thank you."
"When you get the Dou family property, remember to pay the remuneration in full. After the case is over, I will hand over all the expense bills to you."
"It should be so."
She took the maid and two bodyguards hired from the martial arts hall, took a carriage, and hurried to the Ministry of Justice. Her mood was very melancholy!
If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen were willing to marry, willing to accept her, how good that would be!
She gently stroked her cheek, "Am I not good-looking?"
"The young lady is beautiful! Whoever says the young lady is ugly is blind!"
Upon hearing this, Dou Shu laughed at herself, "Even with beauty, I still can't move him. He only wants a night of greed, not a long-term companionship! As a Dou family woman, how can I belittle myself and degenerate. Why, why!"
As she spoke, tears fell drop by drop.
The maid was at a loss, didn't know how to comfort her, and could only help wipe away the tears and persuade her to think openly.
Dou Shu cried fiercely, her eyes slightly red and swollen. In this appearance, how could she see the Minister of Justice.
On second thought, she should see the Minister of Justice with red and swollen eyes, so that the other party could pity her and stand up for her, an orphan girl, to break off the engagement!
She refused to touch up her makeup, and with red and swollen eyes, stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
When Sun Daoning learned that she wanted to break off the engagement, he immediately expressed his support.
"Since the marriage was arranged by Qiu Gui and his wife for you, it should be broken off."
With the support of the Ministry of Justice, breaking off the engagement went very smoothly.
It only took two days.
The man's side intended to delay and refused to break off the engagement, but seeing the Ministry of Justice personally come forward to help Dou Shu break off the engagement, they could only pinch their noses and sign the letter of breaking off the engagement.
Anyway, the two families hadn't exchanged gifts yet, so there was no such thing as returning the betrothal gifts.
It saved a lot of things.
Chen Guanlou thought Dou Shu would choose the third method, adopting a younger brother.
Unexpectedly, people also have their own ideas.
Dou Shu is worthy of being a smart little girl; she decided to carry out the second plan and the third plan at the same time.
That is to say, while imploring the palace to grant her a marriage, she was contacting relatives to prepare for adoption. After adoption, she would handle the funeral for her father Dou Anzhi, erect a grave, erect a monument, and sacrifice...
The marriage naturally had to wait until she finished her mourning period.
She made up her mind to observe mourning for her father. Although her father had passed away for more than ten years.
Everyone praised her as a filial child, brave, resourceful, and filial, worthy of being a model for women in the boudoir.
For a time, her reputation was extremely loud.
The Emperor was also very satisfied with her performance and decided to grant her a marriage.
The reason for granting the marriage now was just to strike while the iron is hot.
After two or three years, who would remember who Dou Shu was? Still want the Emperor to grant you a marriage, what a big face you have!
Doing things should be done while hot.
When there is an east wind to rely on, don't be reserved, don't miss it.
