Chapter 61: Obliterate! Fate is beyond our control

The first wife was inactive in the officialdom and focused on suppressing the second wife, which led to the decline of the second wife. The internal friction in the Lou family was extremely serious. If anyone wanted to deal with the Lou family at this time, it would be easy.

If Lou Yao can understand it, how can these smart people here not understand it?

Lou Yao was angry: "You understand, but you're all just taking chances, thinking that even if the sky falls, the family will hold it up, and it won't be your turn. But if that day ever comes, An Chengjun will definitely have to suffer with me!"

He Zhaojun remained silent, but inwardly she was impressed. Lou Yao was actually quite right. After Lou Ben's suicide, the Lou family, once a powerful institution, collapsed in an instant, with all the men exiled and suffering terribly.

But Lou Yao, surprisingly, had more courage than she had imagined to resist his elders and the powerful. The young man before her, his face covered in tears, kowtowed deeply, his heartfelt sincerity.

His face also revealed a trace of reluctance, that was the regret of not being able to bear to deceive. It turned out that he knew that he had never let go of Shao Shang in his heart, and he could not share even a little of this feeling with He Zhaojun.

With no family support and no emotional connection, this marriage truly wronged An Chengjun. Lou Yao lowered his head, unable to bring himself to say the latter reason.

He Zhaojun quickly sensed this emotion, and with just one glance at Lou Yao, she said it all. Lou Yao knew that He Zhaojun had read his thoughts, and he kept saying "I'm sorry" and cried uncontrollably.

Prince Ruyang, standing by, felt a headache. He had just gone to the Cheng family to propose marriage, intending to ruin the marriage, but he hadn't expected that Ling Buyi and Cheng Shaoshang would be together. Now, he thought they had finally made a good match, but now they were about to break up.

Everyone in the He family remained silent, with no emotion on their faces. To be honest, they naturally loved Zhaojun the most. They knew the ambitions in their little daughter's heart and regarded He Zhaojun as the pride of the He family.

Not to mention breaking off the engagement with the Lou family, even if she never married, the brothers and sisters-in-law of the He family would definitely be able to protect her. What's more, the Lou family is a century-old family, and the He family is also a family of military commanders. From the perspective of status, it is difficult to say who is superior.

As for He Zhaojun and Lou Yao, the He family naturally felt that Zhaojun was being unfairly treated in this marriage. He Yong finally spoke, but with a touch of tact, not a final word: "Since Master Lou is so determined, I have no intention of forcing you. It all depends on Zhaojun's decision, and the He family will do as she pleases."

After saying this, he sat steadily with his hands hanging down, not saying a word. He was intimidating without being angry, and did not give the Lou family any room to say more.

He Zhaojun lowered her robe sleeves, covering her gradually transparent fingertips and arms. Alas, this was no longer the time to say whether I wanted to or not. It seemed some things, no matter how hard I struggled, would eventually return to their old ways.

“Ayao…if one day after we get married, the He family is destroyed and I become the daughter of a criminal with nothing, will you abandon me like a piece of trash?”[28] He Zhaojun knelt beside Lou Yao and turned to look at him.

Lou Yao wiped away the tears from her eyes and shook her head repeatedly: "Of course not! You and I are family. No matter what your family is like, you are my new bride, Lou Yao."

"Similarly, I won't refuse to marry you just because of what you just said. Love is illusory. I only believe that the right path is for both parties to advance and retreat together. From now on, I am willing to share the joys and sorrows with you and the Lou family. Do you understand what I mean?"
