Chapter 170: Worries (Monthly Ticket Plus Update)
If Zhuang Yuanren eventually becomes a scholar or even tops the imperial examination, that's not a problem. We can ask more from them when the time comes. If they don't give it, we can justifiably leave the marriage and find a better one.
If the engagement is prolonged and something happens to the male side during this period, then it's even easier to deal with. If the man withdraws from the marriage, they naturally wouldn't have the face to ask for the betrothal gift back. Then, they would have received the betrothal gift for nothing and will not delay in looking for a better marriage later.
Anyway you look at it, it's a deal that can't lose.
Zhuang Ruman grins, then continues to sip her porridge.
