Chapter 51: Shocked by the Child Marriage Not only Ji Ze was surprised, but Ji Chen, who had not yet left the hall, was also shocked and listened calmly. Bai Wushuang looked at his son's surprised eyes and slowly explained the whole story. "When I was pregnant with you, I accidentally met the husband of the Minister of Personnel. We hit it off right away and have been in frequent contact since then." "At a banquet, your mother made a joke. Seeing that both Pei and I were pregnant, she said we should become in-laws. Originally, your mother said it casually after drinking too much, but the Minister of Personnel took it seriously." "Your mother regretted it afterwards, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse. After all, the Minister of Personnel was in great favor at the time, and His Majesty intended to promote him to the position of Shangshu. So your mother agreed because she saw that his family background and status were not bad." Ji Ze frowned: "Why didn't I know about this? And since I have an engagement with Miss Pei, why did you let my elder brother..." Bai Wushuang sighed: "I wanted to tell you about your engagement with Pei Yu when you were twelve years old. I also investigated Pei Yu's character beforehand." "Pei Yu has a dignified character and is respectful to his parents. He is also handsome and talented. There are only two maids in the backyard. It is not uncommon for women to have three husbands and four maids. As long as it is not too excessive, I have no objection. But I never expected that Pei Yu..." Ji Ze's breathing became tight, and Qing Wan's face turned red with nervousness.
"how?" Bai Wushuang's face became annoyed and he seemed very angry. "How? Humph!" "Pei Yu appears to be gentle and talented on the surface, but behind the scenes he is just a jewel on the outside!" "What talent she has is nothing but fake talent spread by others. She even has a house outside the city and keeps dozens of male favorites!" When this was mentioned, Bai Wushuang felt so angry that his teeth itched and he was filled with disgust. Why would he find such a wife for his son?! Ji Ze's face turned pale when he heard this. How could his future wife be such a person? "That would be fine, but just a month ago, Pei Yu was crippled." Speaking of this, there was not much smile on Bai Wushuang's face. Ji Ze was shocked: "Pei Yu is useless?" how come? Bai Wushuang sneered, "Yes, Pei Yu is useless. I heard that he encountered bandits outside and fell off a cliff while fleeing in a panic. Although he survived, he is paralyzed in bed and has become stupid. Over the years, he has been drained of his body by alcohol and sex. Although his life has been saved temporarily, he won't live long." "The Minister of Personnel has only one daughter. If something this serious happened, wouldn't it be like the sky is falling?" "Later, someone suggested to have a wedding to Pei Yu. If it succeeds and Pei Yu survives, then the husband will have a descendant to take care of Pei Yu for the rest of her life. If it fails, then a descendant will be left while Pei Yu is still alive, and once Pei Yu dies, the husband who came to have a wedding to Pei Yu will be buried alive with her in a ghost marriage!" At this point, Bai Wushuang was furious and gnashed his teeth. "The Minister of Personnel has high standards and wants to find a suitable young man to marry his daughter, but he knows that the son of a wealthy family will definitely not agree, so he set his sights on Prince Zhan's mansion and thought of your marriage." Ji Ze's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Wushuang and said in a trembling voice: "Father, you didn't agree, right?" Bai Wushuang's eyes were filled with viciousness: "How is this possible? How can my son marry such a useless person and become a widow?!" Just when Ji Ze was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Wushuang suddenly spoke angrily.
"But the Minister of Personnel put pressure on your mother!" (End of this chapter)
