169. Chapter 169 This girl is asking you to stick to it
Rong Chu chuckled lightly, with a bit of interest in his eyes, "Since you admire me, don't you want to stay with me every day?"
"Although I like Your Highness, I have a principle when it comes to my life-long affairs."
Chonghua also became more and more interested, "Tell me, what are the principles?"
"No matter whether the slave's future husband is poor or rich, whether he is an ordinary citizen or a noble man, he can only marry one of the slaves as his wife. He cannot take other women as concubines for the rest of his life. If he can't find a slave who is willing to drown for three thousand, he will only take one.
Such a man, I would rather die alone than share my husband with another woman."
This... is an excuse to reject Rong Chu.
It is also her true thoughts in her heart.
She is from the 22nd century. Monogamy was already practiced in her world hundreds of years ago.
In the 22nd century, monogamy has been improved a lot.
Once the relationship between husband and wife is established, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, if a third party intervenes, and if found out, they can report the case to the law. Anyone who interferes in the family where the husband and wife contract has been signed will be punished by law.
She knows that the world now is very different from the world she used to have.
Here, three wives and four concubines are quite common.
It is impossible for an ordinary person from a slightly better-off family to marry just one wife.
She can't ask everyone to think the same as her, it's unrealistic.
She can only stick to her own principles.
Rather Stick to your guns.
She knew her idea was ridiculous.
Even in her world, there are very few people who can be completely loyal.
What's more...in a world where having three wives and four concubines is completely normal.
Maybe...she will really die alone.
Chonghua laughed first, "Xiao Yanxi, so you are asking your future husband to treat you forever?"
There was no sarcasm in his tone.
But the way he looked at her looked like he was watching a joke.
Mu Yanxi met his gaze calmly, smiled and said, "Yes, Master Chonghua, do you think it's ridiculous?"
Chonghua chuckled and shook his head, "It's not ridiculous, but this is the first time I have heard such words coming from a woman's mouth. It has always been a man's request for a woman to be consistent, but you did the opposite.
Xiao Yanxi, you are the only woman who dares to think like this."
"Slaves are not the only ones who dare to think this way, but they never say it out loud. Since men don't want their wives to be shared with others, the same goes for women. No one will want to share what they really like."
Chonghua curled his lips and fell silent, with eyes that she couldn't understand floating in his charming eyes.
"Your Highness, this girl is asking you to stick with her forever."
Interesting, really interesting.
A mere little girl could have such a bold idea.
Rong Chu remained silent. After listening to Chonghua's words, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said slowly, "So, you are not willing to be my wife?"
"If you like someone, you don't have to get it to be happy. For a slave, liking someone silently is also a kind of happiness."
Chonghua couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a look of gloating on his face, "Everyone in the world says that the fourth prince of Yunxi Kingdom is unparalleled in his elegance and has attracted the admiration of countless women. It is a great honor to even lay eyes on you."
