Chapter 1753 The Lu Family Refuses
Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing nodded and indicated that this was exactly the case.
The two of them were the most trusted confidants left by Zheng to Zhao Shu. They were the most steady and reliable. The clan leader and his wife could not refute their words.
The two looked at each other and decided to just let the matter go.
The marriage Zhao Shu found himself was better than the one his family found for him in every way, so there was no reason for him to change his mind.
Furthermore, since the other party is a big shot in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and holds the fifth rank at a young age, his future is limitless, and the clan leader does not dare to offend him easily.
The clan leader could only say a few words of blessing and let Zhao Shu go back and rest first.
After Zhao Shu left, the clan leader and his wife looked at each other in silence.
The clan leader sighed: "Let's just forget about this. No matter what, Xiao Shu is still good to us! If he can marry such a daughter-in-law, it will also be good for our Zhao family in the future!"
The clan leader's wife also sighed and nodded.
Although I still feel a little unwilling, I have no choice but to give up.
Zhao Shu was indeed very good to them. The New Year gifts were very generous. The brocade given on August 15th was worth at least three hundred taels of silver per piece, so the total amount of silver alone was five thousand taels.
He is indeed much more generous than Zhao Mu.
Originally, the matter would have ended there, but when the clan leader's wife told her cousin, Madam Lu, that the wife she originally wanted to find for Zhao Shu was Madam Lu's youngest daughter, Madam Lu was stunned for a long time and was very unhappy.
Mrs. Lu originally thought that this matter was a done deal. After all, Zhao Shu had no other elders to take care of him. The ones he was closest to were the clan leader and his wife. Of course, he would listen to them.
Mrs. Lu was already very excited and was counting Zhao Shu's assets by playing a CD.
Mrs. Lu had already made up her mind. After her little daughter and Zhao Shu got engaged, she would let them get married in February or March after the New Year. After all, Zhao Shu was not young anymore and it was time for him to get married.
After getting married, she stayed at Zhao Shu's house for a while, helping the girl with household chores and sending away those who were disobedient and undisciplined.
Then he brought his son, daughter-in-law, two other daughters, son-in-law, etc. to manage the Zhao family's business. These are all his own people. If his own people don't help their own people, can he hand them all over to outsiders? That won't do!
Mrs. Lu dared to think and plan like this, but she was just bullying Zhao Shu because he had no parents or brothers and was alone. By then, she would be his mother-in-law and the elder with the closest relationship to him. How could he not listen?
Mrs. Lu also made some special inquiries. Although she didn't know all of Zhao Shu's assets, what she found out was enough to make her excited.
When she told her family members about it, they were all excited!
Although Mrs. Lu and her husband repeatedly asked their son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law to be low-key, not show off their wealth, and not tell anyone about it.
But once something like this is said, and has been told to so many people, how can it be prevented from spreading?
How can the sons and daughters-in-law of the Lu family keep their mouths shut?
They couldn't help but tell others about it, and repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone else. Soon, many people knew about it...
The news spread so widely that even the eight-year-old children in the neighborhood knew that the little girl of the Lu family would soon marry Zhao Shu, the richest man in Yangzhou, and that the entire Lu family would soon become prosperous!
However, just when the Lu family had spread the news so that everyone knew about it and had already made preparations on how to take over Zhao Shu's business and enjoy the wealth, the wife of the Zhao family's head told them to forget about it!
How can we let this matter go!
