Lu Cheng, “…???”

What did he do to make him kneel?

Lady Xuanping was so angry that she grabbed a feather duster.

Fearing he would upset his mother, Lu Cheng quickly knelt down and asked, "What have I done to make you so angry, Mother?"

Lady Xuanping said angrily, "How dare you ask what you did by climbing over the wall and leaving the manor last night?"

Lu Chengxin's heart skipped a beat.

Last night he had a vague feeling that someone was following him, but he thought it was just his imagination. Sure enough, drinking led to trouble. Not only was he being followed, but it was his own father who sent people to follow him.

His parents must know what he did last night.

Lu Cheng said guiltily, "I just... I went to the Li family and the Yun family..."

Lady Xuanping said angrily, "Why did you ruin the marriage between Young Master Li and Miss Yun?!"

Lu Cheng shrugged and said, "My son wants to marry Miss Yun."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lady Xuanping's feather duster came down, striking him several times before Zhao Mama, realizing what was happening, stopped him, saying urgently, "Madam, you're mistaken. The young master said he wanted to marry Miss Yun, not Young Master Li..."

Lady Xuanping, "...???"

Lu Cheng, “…???”

He married Young Master Li?

What a novel and disgusting way to do this!

Lu Cheng got goosebumps all over his arms.

Lady Xuanping looked at Lu Cheng and asked, "You want to marry Miss Yun the Second?"

Lu Cheng said, "My son fell in love with her at first sight and is determined to marry her. If you and Father do not agree, I will never get married in my life."

Lady Xuanping said with a dark face, "You copied Buddhist scriptures because you were afraid that your father and I wouldn't agree?"

Lu Cheng remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Lady Xuanping asked, "Then why did you go to the Elephant Maiden's Abode?!"

"When did my son enter the elephant keeper's quarters?"

Lu Cheng subconsciously denied it; he chose to forget such a disgusting place.

Lady Xuanping retorted angrily, "Your uncle saw you enter the Elephant Maiden's Pavilion with his own eyes, and you still dare to argue?!"

Lu Cheng recalled, his lips twitching as he said, "I went in to catch a thief, but it was too disgusting inside, so I came out. If Mother doesn't believe me, you can ask Tang Ze and the others."

The uncle couldn't see the thief, but when he entered the Xianggu Pavilion, he could see him. Did the uncle have a grudge against his nephew?

Lu Cheng recounted everything in detail, and bursts of laughter erupted in the study, drawing frequent glances from the maids and servants in the courtyard, curious about what was being laughed at.

Lu Cheng said dejectedly, "My mother hit me a few times with a feather duster and that wasn't enough. My father said I was copying Buddhist scriptures, which scared my mother so much that she couldn't eat or sleep these days. She has to take medicine to calm her nerves every night and gave me a severe beating."

Tang Ze asked, "Now that your uncle and aunt know you want to marry Miss Yun, what is their reaction?"

Lu Cheng sighed.

Anyone who heard that sigh would think that Marquis Xuanping and his wife disagreed, but this guy said, "My parents don't object to me marrying Miss Yun. They said that once the Li family and the Yun family completely give up the idea of ​​marriage, she will go to the Yun family to propose marriage for me."

His sigh was for himself.

depressed.

If he had known his parents were so open-minded, why would he have made such a fuss, only to have copied hundreds of Buddhist scriptures for nothing and get a beating?

Not to mention the Prince of Yanping and his group, even Shen Wan wanted to beat him up.

Well, Lu Cheng got a really bad beating this time, but not long after, he'll get an even worse beating for causing trouble.
