Chapter 249

"I came here this time because I heard that my aunt is thinking of marrying my cousin into our family?"

Upon hearing this, Luo was overjoyed.

How satisfied Yao Susu must be with this!

They're already asking about it before anything's even started!

Could it be that he's had feelings for Su Su since he was a child?

Luo couldn't hide her joy: "Yes, yes! You're her cousin, I feel at ease entrusting her to you!"

Shen Rang curled his lips: "But I already have a wife at home. If my cousin comes, I'm afraid there won't be a place for her."

Mrs. Luo felt even sweeter inside.

Look!

They didn't even want Yao Susu to be their concubine! What else could this be but genuine affection?!

"So what? I think Huicao Hall is great! Being a concubine is fine, your cousin won't feel wronged anyway!"

Outside, Yao Susu, who had just finished dressing up, paused in her tracks upon hearing these words.

Then, an ugly smile appeared on her face.

She felt wronged.

I thought my family treated me with genuine affection, but I only recently found out they had ulterior motives. How could I not feel wronged and heartbroken?

In the hall, seeing that Luo Shi couldn't understand even good or bad words, Shen Rang's already almost nonexistent smile completely disappeared: "I won't beat around the bush with my cousin's wife. In this family, the position of the legal wife has been taken, and I already have someone in my heart. There is no place for my cousin inside or outside."

Ignoring Luo's frozen expression, Shen Rang continued, "Besides, I also know some things about my mother and my cousin's wife. My cousin is a good person, but based on this alone, I will absolutely not agree to let her into the family."

They carried raw meat into Rongxi Hall and publicly insulted Zheng Shi. They acted so arrogantly on the Marquis's territory. I wonder how they bullied Zheng Shi in the past.

If even something like this can be tolerated and forgiven, then all the Buddha statues in the world might as well be replaced with his.

Luo gave a dry laugh: "But I've already apologized to your mother, and she didn't say anything..."

“My mother doesn’t say anything because it’s her business, but as her son, I would never associate with someone like you, my cousin’s wife.”

The words have already reached a point where they're quite harsh.

Shen Rang seemed oblivious, and stood up on his own, bowing respectfully with his hands clasped: "It's getting late, Auntie, you should rest early. As for my cousin, if you don't like Luoyang, you might as well take her back to your hometown. Anyway, my cousin is such a good person, she'll be fine wherever she is, so I won't bother you any longer."

There's another one waiting to be dealt with in Baijuli.

Upon exiting the hall, Shen Rang naturally saw Yao Susu outside.

"Cousin." Yao Susu greeted Shen Rang as if she hadn't heard what was said inside.

Shen Rang nodded slightly, his steps never faltering.

Yao Susu then went into the hall, glanced at Luo Shi, whose face was gloomy and terrifying, and sat down casually: "That whole family looks down on me."

Luo clicked her tongue and said impatiently, "What are you saying! Didn't you hear your cousin just praising you?"

Ultimately, it was she who dragged Yao Susu down with this whole affair.

Zheng was unwilling, and Shen Rang was also unwilling, so it seemed that this matter was definitely not going to happen.

"Fine, if all else fails, let's choose the best of the worst. Bring me those two picture books, I want to look at them again!"

Yao Susu smiled, a hint of mockery in her smile.

She had seen those picture books, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that each one was a misshapen and deformed gourd.

Even after all this, Madam Luo still wants to choose again. She's determined to keep her in Luoyang and pave the way for her younger brother.

She truly loves her son.
