The three of them still met in the front hall.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wei Yinuo asked knowingly, "Master Lu, I've been waiting for news from Miss Song. Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"
Lu Yu bowed to him and sighed, "We are truly sorry for this. I don't know when Song Qiao became involved with someone else. We have to let down the Third Young Master's friendship."
"Do you have a private relationship with someone?" Wei Yinuo's smile faded. "Who dares to steal my people?"
He clearly didn't think highly of him then, but now he said he was his man. This Wei San was indeed as he thought, not someone who was easy to talk to.
Lu Yu shifted the blame eastward, "Have you ever heard of Hu Xu, Third Young Master?"
"Hu Xu?" Wei Yinuo was slightly surprised and asked hurriedly, "But is it the new number one scholar?"
"That's right." Seeing his strange expression, Lu Yu asked, "Does the Third Young Master know him?"
"I've heard of him, but I've never seen him. A good friend of mine is familiar with him." Wei Yinuo asked, "Are you saying that he was the one who had an affair with Miss Song?"
Lu Yu nodded.
"If it's him, then I have no choice but to oblige. I can't possibly offend my good friend over this." Wei Yinuo said, feeling somewhat unwilling. "To have won his favor, Miss Song must be quite pretty. I wanted to meet her, so I immediately prepared the ceremony to take her as a concubine. Now, after all these preparations, she's gone.

Mrs. Lu felt anxious when she heard the hidden meaning in his words.
Lu Yu glanced at Madam Lu and sighed helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about this. Just consider it as a favor my Lu family owes the Third Young Master, and I'll repay it someday."
Wei San smiled and said, "It's not that I'm too arrogant, but it's hard to repay a favor from me, Wei San."
Madam Lu asked in a stern voice, "What does the Third Young Master want to do?"
"This matter is just a matter of face. I will marry into your Lu family after all. Even without Song Qiao, don't we still have Miss Lu? She is the legitimate daughter of the Lu family and her status is much higher than Song Qiao. Marrying her is more in line with my status." Wei Yinuo looked at Lu Yu, "What do you think, Lord Lu?"
Before Lu Yu could answer, Madam Lu slammed the table and angrily shouted at Wei Yinuo, "Don't even think about it!"
