Chapter 370: Only in this life, I can't give generously to those I don't love
In the meeting hall of the Oriental Family.
Many clan elders sat at the sandalwood round table, enthusiastically discussing the marriage with the Nangong family in a few days, after all, this is the top priority that symbolizes the official marriage of the two families.
Although there was a precedent of intermarriage between the four major families in the past, it was only a side branch of the family that could not be put on the table, and the current situation of orthodox lineage marriage was incomparable, that young master of Nangong was not only a rare immortal cultivator in a thousand years, but also sat firmly on the throne of the head of the Nangong family in the future, and Dongfang Qingyue of his own family married the housemother, and the previous intermarriage was completely different.
Regarding this marriage, the Oriental family is naturally not monolithic, but because the majority of those who are in favor of it, it is naturally a minority to obey the majority.
In fact, this matter is also helpless, since the death of the ancestor of the East many years ago, the family of the East without the ancestor is getting worse, although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but it can't stand a bunch of jackals below, and there are other three families eyeing the other, wanting to divide the group.
"I don't want to marry ......"
In the noisy meeting hall, which was arguing about what kind of etiquette to choose for marriage in a few days, so as to show the profound heritage of the Oriental family, such a whisper suddenly came.
Although this sound is very small, especially in the noisy and noisy conference hall today, because this sentence is very contrary to the atmosphere of the scene, it is like a meteorite hitting a lake, and for a while the entire conference hall is so quiet that a needle falling to the ground can be clearly heard.
All the clan elders stopped talking and looked at the girl in Tsing Yi, who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the hall and had always been silent.
"I'm not married!"
The girl in Tsing Yi, who had been sitting quietly, slowly stood up, word by word, and slowly spoke to the full hall of clan elders.
There is sunlight shining on her face through the windowsill, and there is a thrilling beauty.
Compared to the last time, this time her tone was somewhat resolute, and in the now dead silence of the council hall, it was like thunder.
"Qingyue, what are you talking nonsense, it's a big wedding in three days......"
Because of these three words, in the hall full of horror, a clan elder who was highly respected in the Oriental family stood up and took the lead to speak to admonish.
Then before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dongfang Qingyue.
"I know it's time to get married in three days, but I still don't want to get married!"
As this answer was spoken, a thousand waves were suddenly stirred up in the council hall, and many clan elders never imagined that this kind of change would occur just before the wedding.
They also didn't expect that Dongfang Qingyue, who had always been silent and accepted all the arrangements of the family, would stand up for the first time and disobey the family's arrangements, and be extremely willful to say that she was unwilling to marry such a rebellious remark.
"Why?"
At this time, Dongfang Yan Xing, who was Dongfang Qingyue's father, asked his daughter sternly with anger.
"Because I don't like the young master of the Nangong family." Dongfang Qingyue's face was fearless, and she looked directly into her father's eyes: "My daughter already has a love person, and she only wants to be with the person she likes for the rest of her life!" ”
Dongfang Yan Xing slapped the table: "Bastard!" The marriage of children is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can you make a private decision! ”
"But my daughter only has this life, and she really can't give it generously to someone she doesn't love!"
"You know what? Do you know what kind of price the family has paid for cultivating you, an unfilial daughter, over the years? Now this marriage with the Nangong family is related to the future fortune of our Dongfang family, if you insist on losing the face of the Nangong family, do you know what kind of revenge you will suffer?! ”
Hearing this reprimand, Dongfang Qingyue was silent for a moment, then looked at her father and said slowly: "Since she was a child, all the big and small things of my daughter have been subject to her parents and the arrangements of the family, because I know very well what the family has paid to cultivate me, and I have never lived like a marionette with my own will, if I hadn't met him, I think I should have been like this all my life." And after meeting him, I realized that there are so many beautiful things in this world to look forward to, and I realized what the so-called life should be like......"
“…… In the past, I didn't know what liking was, I just knew that as long as I was with him, I would feel very relieved and happy, and my heart would not be as empty as before, I would feel that the sunrise and sunset clouds and this ordinary moonlight were really beautiful, and I would look forward to the arrival of tomorrow. At that time, I often thought that if life could stop at this moment forever, if he could always be by my side, and then I slowly understood, this should be the kind of like that is often said in the world, the kind of like that wants to be with each other for the rest of my life. In the past few days since I returned to my family, I have been thinking about a question, if I can never be with him again for the rest of my life, what kind of life will it be without any expectations, such a result, such a life, I really can't accept and can't bear it. So, I decided to make the most important decision in my life, I don't want to marry! ”
Having said this, Dongfang Qingyue paused, her eyes swept over the relatives in the council hall, including her own parents, and the respected clan elders of the family, and then continued to speak:
"The nurturing grace of the family, I Dongfang Qingyue has always remembered it in my heart and will not forget it, and I will definitely do my best to repay everything that the family has sacrificed for me over the years...... However, this is not by marriage!
It's not just because I'm unwilling, but because this way of enhancing the strength of the Dongfang family by marriage is wrong in itself! The reason why the Oriental family has become one of the four top families is not because of external forces, but because of its own strength, even if it attaches to the Nangong family and retains the status of the four major families of the Oriental family, what if it is just a false name!
Therefore, I will become stronger, as strong as my master sword master, so strong that all the forces will be terrified without a fight when I mention my Eastern Family, and become the guardian of the name of the East...... Aren't these all the original intentions of your family to cultivate me?
I still remember that when those clan elders paved the way for me to practice at the cost of their lives, they left with smiles on their lips. I think these clan elders should have seen the prosperity and glory of the future Oriental family in me, so they will pass away with a smile. What they saw was Dongfang Qingyue in the name of the East, not the wife of the head of the Nangong family in the name of Nangong in the future, otherwise those clan elders would not be blind when they died. ”
As she spoke, the entire council hall fell silent.
"The old man admits that what you said does make some sense to your niece Qingyue, but have you ever thought about it, niece, if you regret your marriage, what if the Nangong family attacks it in the name of this? At that time, the clansmen will surely be killed and wounded countless corpses all over the field! An elder of Dongfang Qingyue's uncle opened his mouth to retort.
Dongfang Qingyue glanced at him, then at the many clan elders in the hall who were as silent as chickens, and then said:
"If you want to fight, then fight! A family that is afraid of even blood, how can it be said to restore its former glory! Among the four great families today, which family is not famous with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? ”
