Section 4 Marriage

"This...sister..." Xingjian suggested softly. "His injury has not healed yet, now..."

"Well, I know." Xingke's face had no expression. Ash Rufate now felt something unusual, but he couldn't say it.

"Tomorrow, Aunt Mary will come here." Xingke continued. She looked at the plate as she spoke, not Ash Rufate. "To be honest, she mainly came to see you."

Ashu Rufate had met this aunt, so he knew she was the key witness of the marriage. However, when he met last time, he was bedridden, so the two sides had just talked for a few simple words. According to the two sisters, Ashu Rufate first visited the aunt before losing his memory. After obtaining the confirmation of the aunt, he set out to the sisters' home to fulfill the engagement. The accident that caused him to lose his memory happened during this period. He might have wanted to climb a mountain and take a shortcut, but unfortunately fell off the cliff and was seriously injured. In the end, Aunt Mary and the twins found him and brought him back. If it weren't for this kind-hearted aunt, Ashu Rufate would have been lying in a place in the wilderness and smelled smelly.

"I think she might ask you this question," Xingke said. "So I hope I know your answer sooner."

Ashu Rufate smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Marriage is a big thing, it's that simple... I'll choose, okay? I mean... I'll be with someone I don't like for the rest of my life..." he asked tentatively.

"I don't want to violate the engagement made by my parents." Xingke replied without hesitation. "If you want to violate this kind of thing, the only way is to give up everything you have - to give up all the inheritance rights, and to leave the family from then on, or even give up your surname. If this happens, you really don't have to be bound by things like engagement, but it's equivalent to losing everything and becoming a wanderer... I can't do this, so I can only accept it."

It was really an unlovable answer. Ashu Rufate thought with interest in his heart. No wonder he came here as a stranger, and the two sisters could not refuse him. He put down the tableware and looked at the two sisters. As his sister, Xingke was drinking soup with a spoon, but his eyes didn't look at him at all. However, his sister, who was eating grilled sausage on the other side, was secretly looking at him - not only looking at him, but also looking at his sister.

Ashu Rufate already knew that the two sisters were quite old - this is not to say that they were old, but to say that they had reached the end of the age of marriage. In theory, women are suitable for marriage from fifteen to thirty, but in actual life, it is very common for nobles (including squire) to get married as soon as they grow up.

Of course, if they had gotten married earlier, then there would be nothing Ash Rufate had happened. Although there was a marriage contract between them, if the two sisters took the reason that "the whereabouts of the fiancé were unknown, life and death were unknown", then no one, including the aunt who was the witness of the marriage contract, could stop their marriage. Once the road was done, even if Ash Rufate arrived, he would have to do nothing.

However, Ashu Rufate cannot understand why they are not married yet. In the general view, those who are nearly thirty years old and are not married are rare breeds. Such women are usually the kind of women who cannot marry at all (such as infamous sluts, or ugly women who really look sorry to the audience), or some special reason (such as the mistress of a big man). However, this pair of sisters is obviously not the case.

Let’s talk about appearance, the appearance of the two sisters is completely inconsistent with their actual age. In terms of appearance alone, they look only fifteen or sixteen years old. Moreover, this youth is not the effect of deliberate makeup, dressing and other auxiliary products, but the real talent and capital. Their skin is delicate, their faces are smooth and traceless, their facial features are delicate, and their natural silver hair has an unspeakable exotic flavor. Moreover, the temperament of the two people is also very good. If you feel it carefully, the sister has a confident and arrogant style, while the sister looks gentle, sweet and charming.

In a word, even the most demanding commentators have to admit that they are all beauties. To say that such beauties have no suitors, like two delicate and gorgeous flowers, waiting for his strange fiancé, Eshu Rufate felt that it was a bit incredible.

Let’s talk about life, Ashu Rufat clearly felt that the two sisters’ lives were very peaceful. Through talking to the servants, he knew that they seemed to have little contact with the outside world. Of course, this little contact was not really not because they did not have any contact, but because they rarely went out to visit each other except for their normal social life, and they did not have many relatives and friends to visit them. The most important thing is Aunt Mary. Such sisters do not look like the infamous type, right?

Then, it can only be some special reason.

Asu Rufate thought so, he was completely unaware that he was staring at Xingke's face. Just like all the polite rules in the world, staring at other people's faces was a very impolite behavior. Xingke noticed his gaze, his face turned slightly red, and he glared at him fiercely.

To be honest, being glared at by such a beautiful girl (although she is not a girl in fact) would not make people angry at all. Ash Rufate lowered his head and continued to chew on his sausage.

The lunch ended in such a slightly dull atmosphere. After eating all the food on the table, Xingke wiped his mouth with a napkin and left the dining table. His sister also left. Only Ash Rufate was left by the dining table. He didn't even notice it himself, so he ate a sausage for the meal.

Sure enough, my fiancé, who suddenly appeared, is actually not popular. In fact, it is normal to think about it. Even if there is a engagement, a man with backbone will not be so empty-handed as a fiancé. It must be because he was really unable to do so and wanted to stay here. He relies on his wife to make a living for the rest of his life... Well, even if he is contempt in this case, it is normal.

But he had another feeling that he shouldn't be the man who failed like this. Is his real name Eshu Rufate? Why did he come here? Is it really for this marriage?

...

Aunt Mary is an old woman who looks very strict.

Although Ashu Rufat had met her once, the last time he met, he was still troubled by the severe pain and could only barely say a few words to Aunt Mary, without the energy or the heart to carefully examine this elder. So, in essence, this was the first time he met this elder.

Although the old woman is old, her figure is still slim and there is no trace of fat. She wore a long black top dress and a long skirt of the same color on her lower body. Her ears, fingers, neck and other places were not worn. However, this frugal outfit has nothing to do with her property. Because the material of her clothes is very high-end, and you can see at a glance that it is from the hands of a top-notch tailor, with exquisite craftsmanship and a solid scheduling.

At this moment, the two were sitting in the living room. The twin sisters were called out by this aunt, so there were only the two of them here. It was obvious that Aunt Mary was planning to have a good talk with Ashu Rufat.

Asu Ruffat actually had many questions to ask, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, which made him unable to maintain an awkward silence.

"It seems that you have recovered well." Aunt Mary broke the silence first. She looked at Ash Rufate carefully with her sharp eyes. That level was beyond the elders' examination of the younger generation, but a wolf was examining a tied sheep.

"Yeah." Ashu Rufat didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know how he should call the old woman.

"Since you are the fiancé of those two girls, you can also call me aunt." The old woman noticed Ashrufate's hesitation and chuckled. "I can see that you have many questions to ask me, right?"

"Aunt, I..." Ashu Rufate hesitated for a moment, and finally said. "I seem to have forgotten everything. I don't know where I came from... Why am I here... Who am I... I don't even know if the name Ashu Rufate is mine."

"Well, sure enough," Aunt Mary sighed softly. "Someone told me that amnesia is a very troublesome disease, and it seems that it is true." She looked at Ashu Rufate. "To be honest, I can't answer any of your questions."

"Can't answer? Even the name cannot be confirmed?"

"The reason I know that your name is Ashu Rufate is because you call yourself so. As for whether you have other names or not, I really don't know." Aunt Mary replied without changing her face. "As for other questions, such as where you came from...what did you do here, I actually don't know. Because I can only be an ordinary person and cannot analyze the magic of people's hearts, I can only know what is said from others. And what is said in your mouth can be either true or lie. In fact, even if it is said in your mouth, I don't know exactly. Because people always use a lot of logic to infer, and on many things that seem to be taken for granted, they won't ask too much."

It must be said that Aunt Mary didn't lie in a word, but the effect of these truths was almost no different from lies.

"You're confused, right?" Aunt Mary suddenly changed her mind. "I forgot who I am, what I want to do... But I believe the doctor told you about amnesia."

"Yes." Ashu Rufa nodded. He already knew about such things. Amnesia itself is a rare disease, and it is a disease with no treatment at all. There are indeed a few cases where patients recover their memories after a period of time, but that case is generally considered "the lucky gift" rather than being treated correctly. The respectable doctor has advised Ashu Rufat: instead of pursuing the memory that cannot be recalled there, it is better to simply put aside everything and regard it as an opportunity to be reborn and start with a brand new identity.

"For you, everything in the past is no longer important," said Aunt Mary. "You should regard it as the will of the gods. No matter what ideas or plans you have in the past, it no longer exists. Don't let the past affect you. You should... start a new life. I must say that this time the starting point is good."

Ashu Rufate lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he looked at Aunt Mary.
