Chapter 16: Marriage And Trouble
Cai Lingzhi has always been a cheerful girl. Even though she tried to threaten Jia Hao, the blush on her face remembering the time between the dark cave made her look harmless.
Cai Yixue was different. Jia Hao felt he was an elegant and amicable woman, a bit like Su Lan. However, now he was facing her again, she was like a beauty made of an ice sculpture, just her look was enough to make someone fall to their knee out of pressure.
She sat elegantly before Jia Hao, with no change in her expression. ” It’s nice to meet you again, Young Noble Jia. You have secured the highest mark in the test.”
” Why do you want to marry me?”
The straight question took aback Jia Hao. It looks like Cai Yixue didn’t want to beat around the bush.
” Ah, Miss Yixue, It was really a misunderstanding. I…I didn’t want to participate in this event.” Jia Hao replied calmly. ” It was just I got angered by a bunch of old scholars and gave the exam.”
” So, In Young Noble’s Jia’s eyes, I am not someone worthy of being your wife?”
Jia Hao’s face stiffened when he heard the question. ” Miss Yixue, That’s an absurd question. After all, you are like a maiden of someone’s dreams. If they can marry you, it will be their fortune.”
” That’s right.” Cai Yixue’s tone was cold. ” Being the live in son in law, you will instantly become a revered figure in this city. Even in the Great Yan Kingdom, you will become a prominent man.”
” Our army, our cavalry, the wealth of an aristocratic family like the Cai Family, you can be a part of it.”
” However, If you are refusing, then you must be guilty conscience, or you have come here with an ulterior motive.” Cai Yixue spoke in a light yet cold voice. ” So, Which one is it?”
” Miss Yixue barely met once. Why do you wish to marry me?” Jia Hao snorted lightly.
” I do not wish to marry you, or any other who came to participate in this trial.” Cai Yixue shook her head. ” I merely following the procedure of an arranged marriage.”
” There are many better candidates than me.”
” I have already taken interviews of all of them. You are the last one.”
Jia Hao fell in thought as he looked at Cai Yixue. He could feel that she was totally a minefield made of a thousand dynamites. However, Just her body and beauty could make anyone step on those minefield, even if it threatens their lives.
‘ Not to mention, since I have the Pot of Miracles and access to the modern world, Tianxiu World is like a land filled with resources for me. If I can make a powerful family like the Cai Family my ally, it will be much easier for me.’
‘Besides, the Cai Family still owes me a favor. Marrying Cai Yixue…It couldn’t be that bad, right?’ Jia Hao gazed at Cai Yixue’s figure once again, with a different intention in his eyes this time.
Cai Yixue didn’t bother, letting Jia Hao gaze at her figure as much as he wanted.
” Well, Since Miss Yixue insists, I will be a stain upon the men of the world if I don’t accept your proposal.” Jia Hao smiled. ” Alright, You can begin the marriage interview. If I appear to be capable in your eyes, you can marry me.”
” Then I will only ask a single question.” Cai Ningxue looked at Jia Hao. ” Being a live in son in law, you are basically getting into the Cai Family’s core.”
” So, What can you provide the family after being the son in law?”
Jia Hao wasn’t much surprised as it was a very practical question. However, before he answered, he paused as he thought about something.
” Miss Yixue, If you don’t mind, is this the same question you asked to other people?” Jia Hao looked at her. ” What was their answer?”
” That would be considered cheating, Young Noble Jia.”
” I don’t think there was such a rule in this event that defines it as cheating though?” Jia Hao smiled.
Cai Yixue looked at her as she spoke. ” Well, Considering your help earlier, I shall reveal it then.”
” Sheng Lan of the Sheng Family is prominent in the escort service and merchant association. He assured us that he would take the helm of the financial department of the Cai family, making our coffer fill with golden boats.”
” Meanwhile, Shu Yuan who is a qualified individual who passed the Imperial Examination and served under the Ministry of War, told me that he will use his expertise and increase the military strength of the Cai Family.”
” In just three years, he promised to soar our family’s banner and conquer the southern barbarians.”
Jia Hao fell in thought as he heard those words. Although Cai Yixue remained calm, Jia Hao could feel the undertone of her, he could feel they weren’t her first choice.
As a person from the modern world, Jia Hao has naturally many things to offer.
Distillation of wine? Better smelting method for steel and iron? Modern Medicines? Guns and artilleries? Books and Entertainment? Each of them along with the enchantment of the Pot of Miracle could easily make the entire Cai family rule the world.
However, Jia Hao felt Cai Yixue wouldn’t be that impressed if he said that.
‘ Ah, Time to put all those drama series into use.’
Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue as he smiled. ” Well, First of all, I am marrying you, not the Cai Family, Miss Yixue. Therefore, the question should be…What could I give to you?”
” Well, I am well versed in seventy two great arts. So, you will be always satisfied on the bed.”
Hearing that, Cai Yixue became dumbfounded as a blush spread across her snow white cheeks. Turning her head slightly, her cold demeanor cracked. ” Pervert!”
” Haha, What’s so bad about it if we are to become husband and wife?” Jia Hao laughed lightly.
” Young noble Jia, You better answer my question seriously. Otherwise, I have to end this right here.” Cai Yixue regained her composure as she looked at Jia Hao.
” Alright, if I marry you, I will do…Nothing.”
” Nothing?” Cai Yixue raised her eyebrows.
” Nothing at all.” Jia Hao smiled. ” I will simply give you the freedom to do as you please and put my hand in Cai Family’s business minimum.”
” Oh yes, By freedom, I am fine till you don’t cheat on me.” Jia Hao smiled.
Cai Yixue blushed even more as she got up. ” Hmph, I guess Young Noble Jia is very carefree. Then I shall take my leave.”
Saying that she hastily walked out of the room.
‘ Hmph! Do you think I am a cheap woman? How dare you have such impure thoughts!’
Cai Yixue snorted in her heart as she walked pretty fast and arrived in the main hall, where Cai Yunhai, Li Rou, and Cai Lingzhi were sitting.
” Ah, Sister, You are back.” Cai Lingzhi looked at Cai Yixue. ” Did you talk to all of them?”
” What is your opinion, Yixue?” Li Rou asked in a comforting voice. ” Is there anyone who picked your eyes? Or…If you want, we can postpone…”
” No need for that, Mother.” Cai Yixue’s cold aura vanished as she smiled lightly. ” I have already picked my choice.”

Red lanterns flashed as Jia Hao stood dazed, wearing a crimson robe with the golden pattern as everyone cheered around him.
” Kowtow To Heaven and Earth!”
” Kowtow To Parents and Ancestor!”
” Kowtow To each other!”
” Ceremony is over! Husband and wife, drink the wedding wine!”
‘ Wait, I just got married?’
Jia Hao was stunned as Cai Yixue raised her delicate hand, making him drink a cooling drink.
However, not long after the ceremony was over, a person came rushing.
” Patriarch Cai, It’s not good! Some trouble happened in Fragrant Medicine Store!”
