Chapter 258 - 256: A Tricky Matter
"Whether he likes me or not doesn’t matter," Bai Xue confidently said. "I have a way to make Qin Jian dislike you but still have no choice but to marry you."
Bai Yanjiao looked at her mother in surprise: "Mom, you have such a skill? He can still marry me even if he doesn’t fancy me? Do you think this is the old society? Am I a landowner’s precious daughter, and he’s just a laborer carrying heavy loads? He’ll have no choice but to marry me, tell me, where does your confidence come from?"
Bai Xue, upon hearing her daughter’s reply, suddenly realized she might have spoken too confidently: "Okay, perhaps I did brag too much. But the intentions behind my thoughts are good, and I have come up with a plan that I think could really work."
"What kind of plan?" Bai Yanjiao asked eagerly.
"Do you know why Qin Jian has been delaying getting married?"
"Why?"
"Qin Jian is cursed with a wife-killing fate!" Bai Xue whispered.
"What? A wife-killing fate?" Bai Yanjiao was terrified: "Mom, you know he has a wife-killing fate and you still want me to marry him?"
"That’s what you don’t understand," Bai Xue said with a mysterious smile. "It’s probably just a rumor. Back then, they even said your father had a wife-killing fate, didn’t they? And what happened? That old rascal of your father left us sooner than anyone!"
Thinking about the matter of the wife-killing fate, Bai Yanjiao suddenly recalled: "Right, Mom, why did you marry dad despite the rumors that he had a wife-killing fate?"
"Of course. Your deadbeat dad was quite well-off back then, and handsome too; girls’ families were practically wearing out his threshold with their proposals. You see, my family wasn’t well-off at the time, but I was pretty. Your dad was so smitten with me, and since your grandma didn’t approve, he came up with this tale in a fit of pique."
