Chapter 25: Masters fight, back and forth
After this incident, the breakup of the engagement between Shao Shang and Lou Yao was a done deal, irreversible. When He Zhaojun opened her eyes, she saw Lou Yao standing guard outside the door. She put on her clothes, sat up, and walked out.
"You, you're awake?" Lou Yao's expression was much more determined than before, and he had become completely different.
He Zhaojun nodded: "Young Master, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Shao Shang and I have already explained everything. General He treats me like his own son, and I have a very close relationship with the five brothers of the He family... But I agree to marry you not only to repay the He family's kindness, but also to become a good official who speaks for the people."
Lou Yao's words were sincere. The timid boy before finally grew up overnight.
"Good, my good boy, you have grown up." He Zhaojun smiled and felt relieved.
Lou Yao blushed again, as if he had thought of something, and then his face turned stern: "After marriage, if you continue to be unruly and domineering and bully me, I will definitely complain to General He and take you home to reflect on yourself. Do you understand?"
"Why, you're thinking about things after marriage now? Isn't that shameful?"
"... Confucius said, 'Food and sex are human nature, there is nothing to be ashamed of!'"
"What about you and Shao Shang?"
"Shao Shang and I will call each other brother and sister from now on. You can rest assured."
"I'm not worried. As long as it doesn't affect my relationship with Shao Shang, you can call me whatever you want."
Lou Yao understood what He Zhaojun meant. From the very beginning, he had announced that he and Shao Shang had broken off their engagement and would marry her soon, but He Zhaojun hadn't shown any emotion at all! This showed that she didn't take the matter to heart at all!
"Oh, by the way... has my future son-in-law ever tried that tofu? How is the taste and flavor? Is it authentic?"
"Brother said it's very similar, but it's just a different variety of onion, so it's not as sweet as the ones from Jiaodong..."
I'm pleading with you!
What are you doing? !
Lou Yao felt a little frustrated. He wasn't even as important as Shao Shang. "You! Do you have a heart?!"
Only then did He Zhaojun realize that what she said was inappropriate.
"Oh, oh, sorry, I was abrupt."
"You...you..." Lou Yao said "you" several times without saying Zi, Wu, Mao, or You. He angrily flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
"It's really strange. He didn't say that petty love is nothing in the eyes of the world, and that he married me not out of love between men and women. What is he doing now?" He Zhaojun muttered.
A man jumped over the wall. It was none other than the romantic and suave Third Prince. "Although he said so, in his heart, he still had expectations for love. Naturally, he hoped that he and his future bride could have a harmonious relationship. He never expected to meet someone like you who was so unyielding."
He Zhaojun disagreed: "He is still young. At this age, what does he know about love?"
This was said in a mature manner by a young girl of sixteen. She spoke in such an old-fashioned way that she must be a generation younger than Lou Yao.
"Unlike me, you are never swayed by so-called love. You treat all these disturbances as nothing, and naturally you can achieve clarity of mind." Wen Ziduan said with some pride.
He Zhaojun rolled her eyes impatiently, but he didn't see it. But her words were even more beautiful than her singing: "Yes, yes, you are like a flower that walks through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on you. I'm afraid many girls in the capital would be heartbroken and faint from tears because of your attitude~"
She turned to go into the house, but was stopped by Wen Ziduan: "What about you? Will you be heartbroken for me?"
