Chapter 1395: Reasons why 1394 can’t get married

Tan Rou wasn’t just missing this bit of money, was she? No, she was simply furious. She had kindly offered to help this family, only to find them leaving without a word. Had it not been for the locator that Tan Rou had prepared for him, she might not have been able to find them at all.

A word of thanks couldn’t compensate for Tan Rou’s loss. Although $100,000 wasn’t much for Tan Rou, it was still money, and she felt her request was perfectly reasonable.

When it came to choosing between a child and a sum of money, it depended on what the child’s parents found more important.

It seemed that Kas still cared a lot about Samiyi, he had chosen Samiyi between $100,000 and her. This choice made Tan Rou feel a little more favorable towards Kas.

“There’s no rush about the money; I’m just letting you know in advance. As long as you’ve gathered the sum before I leave, that’s fine,” Tan Rou said, “Moreover, Samiyi isn’t just your child, this money shouldn’t come out of your pocket alone. You can contact her mother. Everyone says the royal family of J is very wealthy, so Princess Samiyi should easily be able to afford this amount.”

Kas didn’t want to ask Samiyi for money. He said, “Samiyi’s situation in the palace is very difficult, and all her activities are being monitored by the King. If her account suddenly showed such a large withdrawal, the King would definitely discover it.”

“Since you know her life is under the King’s surveillance, why don’t you bring her out to live with you?” Tan Rou questioned, “You two already have a child, wouldn’t the King allow you to marry?”

“You’re not from our country, so you don’t understand our laws,” Kas sighed. “Our country has very strict marital requirements. Once married, neither party is allowed to cheat. If anyone does, regardless of their gender, they will be imprisoned.”

Tan Rou quite liked this set of laws. “Isn’t that a good thing? It ensures marital stability.”

Kas shook his head, “These are the post-marriage requirements, but there are also pre-marriage mandates. Our country’s laws prohibit premarital pregnancy. If a woman becomes pregnant before marriage, she must abort the child and then go to prison. If a man fathers a child before marriage, he too must serve time—longer than the woman.”

“Ah? Such an outrageous law!” Tan Rou had never heard of such legislation before, “Is your country that keen on imprisonment? Can your country’s jails even accommodate so many people?”

Kas also found this legislation ridiculous, “Steal a car, and you’ll be locked up for half a month, but for premarital pregnancy, the man gets one year and the woman half a year.”

Tan Rou felt her lips twitch as she asked, “Does your King think there are too many people in your country?” Then she thought for a moment. J did indeed have a large population and abundant labor force, and no issue with an aging populace, so perhaps they didn’t encourage childbirth.

But still, laws that imprison people for premarital pregnancy were too severe, and it wasn’t just a day or two in jail—it was six months to a year. After a year, the prisoners would be released with their jobs gone, love lost, and no children either.

“Ridiculous, these laws are utterly ridiculous!” That was the only way Tan Rou could describe them.

Kas continued, “The King dislikes us being together, so I planned to take Samiyi and leave. We’d go live in another country, where I’d still be a gardener, she’d wait at home for my return. We’d also have a lovely child who would go to school there, learn new things. But now, all that has become a fantasy.”

“Then just take your child and leave by yourself,” Tan Rou suggested, “Once you’re settled abroad, figure out a way to bring Samiyi out. Whether you have to scale walls or burrow underground, just bring her out and then quickly leave J—don’t stay there any longer.”

“No, I can’t abandon Samiyi alone!” Kas rejected Tan Rou’s suggestion, “If the King disapproves of our marriage, I will wait here until the day Samiyi can leave the palace.”

Tan Rou gave Kas a thumbs up, “You’ll make a good husband!” But she didn’t see him as a good father—don’t you plan to send your child to school?
