1741 Any Children Born To Them Might Be Mentally Challenged
“It’s still the same with her. Although, didn’t my parents leave to gather some medical herbs used as guiding herbs? They can be used after some time and Xue’er’s condition can be completely cured. When that happens, all she needs to do is to rest well and she won’t face much problems with her health any longer,” Lu Liangwei replied.
Long Yang nodded. “That’s good to know. I’ve noticed Yin’er giving extra care to Xue’er since young. It would be great if both our families could become closer.”
Lu Liangwei was taking a robe out from the cupboard for him when she heard this. She stood where she was in a daze. “What did you just say?”
Long Yang smiled with a raised eyebrow. “Isn’t it good news for both families to have another marriage? Our ties will be closer and I think the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess would be very supportive of this.”
The look on Lu Liangwei’s face changed as she flung the robe onto the bed and sat down. “I don’t agree to this.”
Long Yang was taken aback. He held her shoulders. “Why? Yin’er and Xue’er are maternal cousins who grew up together. There is a relations.h.i.+p between them. It would be a wonderful thing if their relations.h.i.+p could materialize into a marriage. Our families could even be closer because of this. Why wouldn’t you agree to it?”
Lu Liangwei frowned as she looked at the man’s puzzled face. It was difficult to explain this.
It was normal for maternal cousins to get married in olden times. It was not strange for him to have such an idea and it was even highly acceptable in this era. However, she was from modern times and knew very well the cons involved in maternal cousins being married.
She could not allow such a thing to happen when she knew the facts.
“Come on, tell me why.” Long Yang found it strange when he saw her being silent. He could not help pus.h.i.+ng for an answer. “Besides, I can tell that you dote on Xue’er a lot. Why wouldn’t you agree to a marriage between both families?”
Lu Liangwei sighed. “It has nothing to do with me doting on her or not. I like Xue’er a lot and it hurts to see her ridden with illness at such a young age, but maternal cousins cannot get married. If they do, any children born to them might be mentally challenged.”
This startled Long Yang. “Is there really such a thing?”
Lu Liangwei nodded. “It’s true.”
“But at this point, I’ve seen many maternal cousins getting married and have never heard of any children born to them being mentally challenged.” This puzzled Long Yang tremendously, but he knew Weiwei and she would not say something like that for no reason.
“Not hearing about it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Besides, what I’m saying is that there might be a possibility. There is no guarantee the child would really end up being mentally challenged. It doesn’t just happen between maternal cousins, even those who are closely related shouldn’t get married or it would cause unwanted defects.” Lu Liangwei explained, “All I want is to prevent such a thing from happening. If we allow it to happen one day, it would be too late for regrets.”
Long Yang thought about this silently. “You’re right. Just pretend I never mentioned this before.”
Lu Liangwei was relieved that he had accepted her advice.
However, Long Yang added, “But you need to be mentally prepared too. I can tell that Yin’er treats Xue’er quite differently.”
Lu Liangwei’s heart sank when she heard this. “What?”
Long Yang paused and said, “It’s because I’m a man that I can tell the meaning of a look a man gives a woman.”
This got Lu Liangwei nervous. “Are you telling me that Yin’er likes Xue’er?”
Long Yang nodded. “Yes.”
“You’re not kidding me, are you?” Lu Liangwei looked at him expectantly, hoping that he was joking about it.
“No, I’m not. I realized this quite a while ago but I didn’t think it was a bad thing for both our families to have another marriage between us. Besides, Xue’er is still quite young, so, I didn’t tell you about it.”
Long Yang’s reply made Lu Liangwei’s heart sink even deeper.
