Chapter 53: Tan Family History Part 2
Hearing her words, Tan Gengxin's expression froze. Originally, she thought it would be easy but she didn't expect Tan Xinyi to mess. For her, getting married to Qin was an opportunity. If she marries him, she can inherit the family head position.
Even if she has to give it to her son, she can still control him and let him do what she wants. Of course, she doesn't hate the family rather improving her family is her obsession. She inherits one of the family business and she was able to run it due to her love for family.
She could go to any extreme just to get benefits. Once she discovered a great business by the middle-class family. Originally, she asked the family to sell that business unfortunately they didn't agree. So, she went to the extreme and slowly killed the family members.
Finally, they got no choice but to sell the business to Tan Family. Elders also found out. Although they don't like things this way, they couldn't stop her. Because she was benefiting the family. In their heads, they can only stop her if she was only benefitting herself.
This is why Tan Gengxin was set to marry Qin. As for love, she doesn't even know him properly before three weeks ago. She was just lying about it.
After Tan Xinyi interfered, Tan Jian was also got surprised. Unlike them, she had a good relationship with Qin. Of course, she didn't love him rather both of them were obsessed with swords. And, only she knew his obsession for swords.
She have some kind of feelings for him but she knew this isn't love. At least, it is not love for her.
She was named Jian for this same obsession. Because Jian literally means sword. She didn't like entering into the relationship but she never disobeys the grandfather's words. And, it was her grandfather who made her agree to marry Qin.
For her, grandfather's words were everything and she was even extreme than Tan Xinyi. Unlike Tan Xinyi, she literally does everything without even thinking. One time, she was sent to slaughter five families by the great elder.
She didn't even know the reason why but she still did it without raising a question. She doesn't know about her parents. Not just her, even Family Head doesn't know about her parents. They only know that this was Great Elder's granddaughter.
Tan Jian shifted her eyes at Tan Gengxin. Because she wanted to wait for her response before saying anything. She had completely prepared herself to go anything length to get married to Qin.
Tan Gengxin smiled and said "First sister, how come you suddenly agree to marry him? Listen to your second sister's advice and go back to the sect. You are the goddess of the sect and nobody likes when their goddess is taint."
"As for my feelings for him, it is not a stone that I can throw away. I love Qin and I will certainly marry him."
"Hehe! Second Sister, you truly know how to make jokes." Suddenly, Tan Jian giggled and sneered at Tan Gengxin. Seeing her reaction, both sisters narrowed their eyes.
Tan Jian walked closer to Tan Gengxin and said "There isn't a single man you like. Unlike you, I have accompanied Qin for sword practice many times and I also know him a lot better than you. Not to mention, aren't you two sisters little too old for him?"
When she mentioned that, Tan Xinyi and Tan Gengxin looked at her with ugly expressions. Age was a sensitive matter. Not to mention, they were only two years older than Qin. (AN: There was a slight age inconsistency with Tan Ming's age. He is not twenty-four rather forty-four.)
They clenched their fist but soon calmed down. Tan Xinyi smiled and said "Junior Sister, we are here for marriage and also have a baby. You are too young to have one which is not good for the family. If we wait too long, he might leave before leaving an heir."
Tan San's expression suddenly twitched when his daughter mentioned the child. He didn't expect his daughter to go to this length. But, he understand she was doing this for the family.
Family???????
Tan San closed his eyes and deeply fell in thought.
On another side, Tan Xinyi, Tang Gengxin, and Tan Jian started arguing about who will marry Qin. At this moment, Tan San suddenly opened his eyes and shouted "Shut up!"
When those words rang on those girls' ears, they immediately closed their mouths. Even Tan Ming and the great elder looked at Tan San with surprise. At this moment, Tan San looked at the three girls and asked.
"What is your purpose for marrying Qin? Tell me the honest answer!"
"For the family." Three girls slightly bowed and answered.
"I am tired of waiting. Ten years, hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years, we have to wait for ten thousand years and now I am the one hundred and tenth Family Head. I don't want Tan family to wait longer." When he said that, three girls looked at him with confusion even Tan Ming looked at him with confusion.
But, at this moment, the great elder's eyes were widened.
Tan San looked at the three girls and said "I want all three of you to marry Qin and have his child. The first child will be the head of the family. The second child will be the head of businesses and the third child will be the head of warriors."
At this moment, three girls looked at him with confusion and Tan Xinyi suddenly spoke "But, father, how can you ask three girls to marry a single man?"
"Why can't I? You all said you want to marry him for the family, right? Then, isn't it a good idea for all three of you marry to him? After all, he is the only person who has inherited Tan Bloodline from ten thousand years."
"If we let go of this chance, we will never get it and we can't wait for a long time either." At this moment, he bites his lips and spoke "We are too weak. That Tu Zhu was the part of the Tu family and he was also a Revolving Core Cultivator. If we didn't have the Supreme Elder, he would've slaughtered our family and taken that pendant away."
"If we keep being weak, we will never see the rise of Tan Family. I want three of you to marry him and bear his child. I know it is hard for the three of you to accept each other but we must do this for Tan Family. This is the only way to improve Tan Family."
"I could ask other girls to marry him but he won't look at them. He had already had a lover. Her name is Yue Bin. If I am not wrong, all of you should have heard about her. Since he is willing to accept another, he won't mind three of you but he won't make a relationship with common girls."
"I know it is unfair to you but I hope three of you can accept it."
At this moment, three girls turned silent. They don't want to share their husband with others especially with their own sisters. They clenched their fist and suddenly the great elder spoke "I think Family Head is right. Tan Jian, you will accept it, right?"
When asked by her grandfather, she unconsciously nodded her head. Seeing this, Tan Ming and Tan San narrowed their eyes. They didn't know how the Great Elder does this but he can make Tan Jian listen to him for everything.
But, she quickly shook her head. Seeing this, even the Great Elder was surprised. It's not that he controls her rather he is her only family. That's why she listens to him but when she rejected him. The Great Elder suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! I never thought you would reject my words. That's good! That's good!" Saying so, he turned at the Family Head with a smile and said "Family Head, I'm sorry but I can't force her."
He is her grandfather but he doesn't want her to listen to him every time. He wants to her make the decisions on her own. But, she never does that. That's why he was excited at this moment.
"Grandfather, you didn't understand what I mean. I agree to marry him but this time, I am doing this without your advice." Tan Jian hurriedly corrected him and slightly lowered her head with a blushing expression.
She doesn't love Qin but she still wanted to be with him. Why? Because he was the only swordsman she knows. And, she wants to improve with him. And more importantly, this time she wanted to do this for the family.
At this moment, Tan Gengxin revealed a smile and said "Since the third sister has agreed, how can I not agree? I am willing to do everything for the family."
In fact, she was stunned by the family head's rules. If she can bear his first child then it would be best. But even if she bears the second child, it would be amazing. After all, she loves business and if she can control the entire business with her child's authority, it would only make her happy.
But, Tan Xinyi was conflicted. She didn't know what to choose at this moment. If she chooses to be him, she has to share him. But, if she doesn't then it will only make her father unhappy. After all, who said a woman can't have two children. If her second sister bears his child twice then not only she can control the family head position but also the economy.
Currently, the economy is controlled by the Great Elder, and the warriors are under Tan Ming. With her single decision, she can completely change the figure of the Tan Family.
