Chapter 108 Discussing Marriage (1)
He Beichen, Zhang Yunyu, He Beixi, He Yuanhuan, He Yuanqing, He Beifeng, He Beifang, He Beicang, along with Fourth Aunt Yu Qingyue, Second Aunt Han Susu, Jiang Zhixue, and others, went through countless hardships and finally completed the resource allocation and compensation work for the Seven Kill Guards and Tai Xuan Army.
They were all exhausted, as if carrying a heavy burden. At this moment, they gathered in the spacious and bright main hall with a sense of relief, sitting together to discuss He Beifang's marriage.
Since He Beifang and his group returned in triumph, the entire Four Sects have been in a flurry of activity. Although everyone at home was busy dealing with the distribution of rewards to the Seven Kill Guards and the Tai Xuan Army, the reasonable allocation of resources, and the compensation for the wounded and injured, He Beifang still managed to steal a moment to bring up this important life event to his beloved mother, Han Susu.
However, at this moment, Han Susu's heart was filled with mixed feelings, like a tangled mess of emotions, leaving her extremely conflicted. As a mother who loved her child dearly, she naturally longed to see her son settle down and start a family as soon as possible, marrying a gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and satisfactory daughter-in-law.
However, when she learned that her son's fiancée was actually a half-demon, a sense of doubt arose deep within her.
After all, the idea that humans and transgender people are different is deeply rooted in people's minds. She worried whether a woman with such a special identity could really give her son a happy and fulfilling life, and she was also concerned that the strange looks from those around her would bring unnecessary pressure and trouble to her son.
Han Susu was at this moment as if she were trapped in a chaotic quagmire, her heart filled with turmoil. On the one hand, she longed to follow her son's wishes and accept her half-demon daughter-in-law, as if she were a ray of light leading to happiness; on the other hand, she hoped that someone in her family would stand up against the marriage, after all, half-demons were like lowly ants in the Zhao Kingdom, despised by many radicals.
Coincidentally, Zhang Yunyu's heart was also churning with the same thoughts, like a vast and turbulent sea. He Beicang, his fourth aunt Yu Qingyue, and Jiang Zhixue were all filled with curiosity. They had never expected that after He Beifang's trials and tribulations on the northern border, he would return with someone else in his heart, as if a joyous feast was about to be held at home.
At this time, He Beichen was still completely unaware of everything and had no idea what was going on.
With a smile on his face and a relaxed tone, he said to his fourth brother, "Fourth brother, since that's the case, why don't you tell us about you and your sweetheart? If it's a good match, we'll get ready to go and propose marriage when the time is right."
After hearing his elder brother He Beichen's fair and pertinent words, He Beifang hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and slowly began to speak: "Brother, to be honest, the woman I love is a half-demon."
She came from the Yunling tribe on the border of the Northern Wilderness, and her name was Lu Liuli. Back then, when I left the army alone to go out and train, I met and got to know her by chance.
Since then, we've been through countless ups and downs together, facing numerous hardships and obstacles. Throughout this long journey together, I've come to realize more and more deeply that she is the one I can spend the rest of my life with.
Next, allow me to slowly tell you the stories that happened between me and Lu Liuli..."
Just then, He Beicang, Fourth Aunt Yu Qingyue, and Jiang Zhixue, who were sitting to the side, were stunned and speechless upon hearing this, their faces filled with disbelief.
However, when they saw Zhang Yunyu, He Beixi, He Yuanhuan, He Yuanqing, He Beifeng, and Han Susu sitting on the other side with calm expressions and no surprise whatsoever, they immediately realized that these people already knew about this matter.
After pondering for a moment, He Beichen turned his gaze to He Beifang's mother—his second aunt Han Susu—who was sitting to the side, and asked softly, "Second Aunt, what are your thoughts on Beifang's marriage? After all, you are Beifang's biological mother, and your opinion is undoubtedly the most important in this matter." At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Han Susu.
Han Susu slightly raised her head, about to say something, when she suddenly noticed her son, He Beifang, staring straight at her with an expectant and longing look. His eyes seemed to be silently pleading for his mother's support and affirmation.
Han Susu's heart softened. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Since my child has already made up his mind about that girl, as his mother, although I have some concerns, how can I bear to go against his wishes?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, clearly not expecting Han Susu to say such a thing.
While everyone was still in shock, He Beichen was the first to react, a relieved smile spreading across his face. He quickly praised, "It's wonderful that Second Aunt is so open-minded and understanding! This not only shows your love for the North, but also your rare magnanimity and tolerance!"
Upon hearing this, the others echoed his sentiments, expressing their agreement with He Beichen's statement.
At this moment, He Beixi, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression, "Everyone, let's not rush to conclusions. Although that woman is a half-demon, and her status is indeed relatively low, since Fourth Brother truly loves her, we shouldn't judge this relationship solely with worldly standards."
Furthermore, the situation on the northern border is quite complex and volatile. If we can establish a good relationship with the Yunling tribe through this marriage alliance, it might greatly benefit the future development of our entire family!
He Beixi's words caused a great stir, instantly silencing the previously noisy scene. After a while, the crowd began to whisper among themselves, and many felt that what He Beixi said made sense.
However, at this moment, He Yuanhuan couldn't help but furrow his previously relaxed brows, and said with a worried expression, "That's true, but how could those old fogies in the clan agree so easily? You know, they've always regarded half-demons as lowly beings, like weeds!"
Upon hearing this, He Beifeng's expression turned icy cold. He snorted and replied firmly and ruthlessly, "Hmph! As long as we are firm enough, those guys in the clan will not dare to utter a single complaint! Don't forget, our four sects have a large number of True Person Realm experts, and we are the pillars of the entire clan!"
More importantly, within this vast family, only the eldest brother knows how to refine the incomparably precious Hunyuan Pill. Therefore, they should be well aware of the true weight of our four sects. Presumably, after weighing the pros and cons, they will carefully consider their options and dare not act rashly!
