"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Quick, go get Xu Wanqing for me."
In the evening, Xu Maocai came back with a sullen face and started scolding the servants.
"Master, what happened?"
Zhao Yaru heard the sound and ran out in a hurry.
She spent the whole day trying to figure out who spread the rumors about Wanqing, but unfortunately, she had no clue.
"What is it? You will know when your good daughter comes."
Zhao Yaru was horrified, and her intuition was that the affair between Wanqing and Lu Mingxuan had been exposed.
"master……"
Looking at his gloomy face, Zhao Yaru opened her mouth, but she didn't dare to say anything when the words came to her lips.
"Bang!"
Xu Maocai drank a glass of water and threw the quilt on the table.
Zhao Yaru shuddered and hurried out.
After a while, Mother Gu came over with Xu Wanqing.
"Mom, it's so late. I want to go to bed. Why did you call me here?"
Seeing the dissatisfaction on her daughter's face, Zhao Yaru glared at her with frustration.
"It's your father. Your father asked you to come over."
"Dad? Then I'll go take a look."
Xu Wanqing ran into the house happily.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yaru grabbed him back.
"Your father is angry. You must not argue with him later."
Now, it was Xu Wanqing's turn to be confused, "Why is Dad angry?"
"It's because you're short-sighted. How can that Lu family kid compare to the princes and nobles? Why did you choose him so highly?"
Zhao Yaru cursed angrily.
"What's wrong with Mingxuan? He's good-looking and talented." Xu Wanqing looked shy.
"His talent is nothing compared to others. Your father knows about this and is furious. Be careful."
Xu Wanqing hesitated. Her father had never lost his temper in her life, and she was a little scared.
"Mom, I'm scared."
"You're scared now, what were you doing before? Go quickly, your father is waiting for you, admit your mistake."
Knowing that fear is a good thing, maybe there is still room for maneuver.
Zhao Yaru felt relieved for no reason.
Xu Wanqing walked into the house cautiously. As expected, as soon as she entered the inner room, she saw Xu Maocai with a dark face.
“Dad, I…”
“Bang!”
Xu Maocai slapped the table.
Xu Wanqing shuddered and knelt down, tears rolling down her cheeks instantly.
"Dad, Mingxuan and I are truly in love, please help us!"
Zhao Yaru, who had just entered the room, was startled and hurried in.
"Master, don't listen to her. It's just rumors spread by outsiders."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Is Mingxuan not okay?"
Xu Wanqing looked at Zhao Yaru with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.
"No, I don't like it. Promise Mom that you won't see him again."
After saying that, Zhao Yaru walked up to Xu Maocai and said as if to promise: "Master, I will not let Wanqing contact him in the future."
Xu Maocai's eyebrows twisted into a knot. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Now, it was Zhao Yaru and Xu Wanqing's turn to be stunned.
"Master, you, you came back angry because you heard the rumors outside, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Xu Maocai narrowed his eyes and began to recall what the mother and daughter had said.
"It's hard, isn't it, isn't it?"
Zhao Yaru felt a little regretful. The master hadn't said anything yet, but she actually... guessed.
"Master..."
"Who is Lu Mingxuan?"
Zhao Yaru and Xu Wanqing looked at each other but did not speak.
"Snap"
"say!"
“Yes, yes…”
"Xu Wanqing, I want to hear what you have to say." Xu Maocai's face couldn't be any darker.
He really didn't expect that today, his daughter, whom he held in the palm of his hand, would have a secret affair with someone else.
Xu Wanqing's face turned pale with fright, but she didn't want to be sneaky anymore.
She wanted to give Yao Mingxuan a status.
Thinking of this, she was no longer timid, raised her head, and looked at Xu Maocai, "Dad, my daughter has someone she likes, and I want to be with her."
"who is he?"
"He is Lu Mingxuan."
"Why have I never heard of this person? Where does he work? What are his parents' official positions in the court?"
Xu Wanqing's face changed, and she hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "Mingxuan, he is still studying. His father is gone, but he still has a mother. However, he will definitely have a bright future, Master Shen..."
"Asshole! Isn't this just an ordinary person? I don't agree."
"Dad, he will definitely have a bright future. He is looking for a way now..."
Xu Maocai simply waved his hand, "No! If I say no, then no."
"father……"
"Wanqing, just listen to your father. That Lu Mingxuan is really no good. If you follow him, do you want to live a hard life?"
Xu Wanqing cried and shook her head, "Mom, why am I living a hard life? Don't you and Dad love me anymore? Our family has so much property, any one of it is enough for Mingxuan and me to eat. If things don't work out, don't we still have Su..."
"Bang!"
A cup broke at Xu Wanqing's feet.
"Master, Master, don't be angry. I will talk to her in a good way. I will definitely talk to her in a good way."
Zhao Yaru had never seen Xu Maocai so angry before, and she was a little scared.
"They are all good daughters you raised!"
The look of disgust made Zhao Yaru take a few steps back.
"Master, I..."
"Xu Wanqing, you are still young. You must have been deceived by that kid surnamed Lu. Dad has already found a new husband candidate, the current crown prince."
