Chapter 253: 253 There's Still Hope

But absolutely, absolutely, not the family she could have imagined.

No wonder the conditions for selecting a wife were so harsh, because their family was too powerful, right?

There was just one thing she didn’t understand…

Mo Jun tentatively asked, “What if Hao Yansen insisted on marrying me against your objections, what would the consequences be?”

The Clan Leader’s eyes suddenly darkened.

Ji Lian’s expression also grew grave.

Mo Jun’s heart skipped a beat, “Would the consequences be very serious?”

“Not that serious, except he would have to give up the entire family, relinquish his position as the heir, and sever ties with the entire family,” the Clan Leader replied in a low voice.

Mo Jun: “…”

So, in his previous life, he gave up his whole family for her?

No wonder after his death, no one from the Hao Family came looking for trouble with her.

Because he was no longer a member of the Hao Family…

Yet she knew nothing, she thought that he had only given up his life for her.

Little did she realize that he had given up his family long before that.

Growing up in such a vast family, everyone would have a strong sense of family honor. The honor of the family, in their eyes, was more important than their own lives.

Especially as the heir, they would always place the family’s interests above all else.

But Hao Yansen, for her sake, had given it all up…

It turned out that from the very beginning, he had given up something more important than his life for her.

Therefore, later, when he found out that she was about to die, he gave up his life so easily, didn’t he?

Because he had already given up something more important, surrendering life didn’t seem so difficult anymore…

Thinking of this, Mo Jun’s heart suddenly felt an unbearable pain.

It was as if someone was ruthlessly stirring her heart with a knife!

Seeing her pale complexion, the Clan Leader asked with concern, “Girl, what’s wrong? You weren’t frightened, were you?”

Mo Jun shook her head, “Grandfather, I can’t marry him, can I? Otherwise, I would just be harming him…”

“To be precise, indeed, you would harm him. But he would also harm you,” he said.

“What?” Mo Jun looked up in astonishment.

The Clan Leader sighed, “Becoming the mistress of the Hao Family, though it would bring glory and endless riches, also comes with constant threats to one’s life. My wife, as well as Asen’s parents, all sacrificed themselves for the family.”

“…”

“Our family has reached today’s status only because countless individuals have shed their blood. Especially the master and mistress, they are always in the most precarious positions. If you marry him, your life will never be able to be ordinary again. So, what is it that you want? Have you thought it through? Can you truly sacrifice everything for him, disregard everything, give up everything?”

Mo Jun was shocked, then she nodded firmly, “I can! For him, I’m willing to do anything. But what use is there, I’ll never fulfill all five conditions simultaneously.”

Just the condition regarding children was, in itself, a death sentence for her.

“There’s still hope,” the Clan Leader suddenly said, causing Mo Jun’s previously dim eyes to fill with hope.

“What did you say?!”

The Clan Leader smiled, “I said, there’s still hope for you to marry him.”

“But I don’t want him to lose his entire family because of me.”

“Of course not. I couldn’t let him lose it either, or I would never rest in peace!”@@novelbin@@

“…Then, what is the hope you speak of?” Mo Jun asked eagerly, her nerves taut.

Because this could be her last lifeline!
