As he walked towards the reception room with Father Chu, he spoke as he walked, "It's probably about the engagement. Alas, considering our sweetheart's health, it's better to resolve it as soon as possible. If we make it clear, it won't delay the other person's wedding."
Father Chu was always serious, and he nodded slightly when he heard this. "It was just a joke between the two of us when we were kids, so it doesn't count. My nephew hasn't married in the past few years, even though he's already this old. I had a vague suspicion that it might be because of the engagement, but it was difficult to bring it up. It's a good thing he came this time."
Mother Chu nodded, "That's what the master said."
As soon as they entered the room, Chu's father and mother saw the elderly mistress of the Lu family sitting in the guest seat, and Lu Shaochen sitting next to her.
The man was already in his twenties, with a rather charming face and a gentle and polite smile on his lips. His every move was dignified and elegant, yet with a strong sense of alienation.
It's obvious that he is not an easy person to control. Even if the two children get married, she will still be worried. Her beloved baby will probably not be able to subdue this man.
Mother Chu secretly observed Lu Shaochen, sighing that he was truly a man of heaven, while secretly shaking her head in her heart.
His expression was quite friendly. He walked over and shook hands with Mother Lu who had stood up. "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here."
Mother Lu's expression was a little subtle, but she still smiled as she shook hands back. "It's been a while since I last visited you. And since this time, the master specifically asked me to tell Lord Chu that I'll come to have a drink with him later."
"Okay, I'll be waiting." Speaking of old friends, Father Chu's expression was a bit helpless. He smiled and shook his head. After listening to Lu Shaochen's simple and polite greeting, he gestured to Mother Lu to sit down quickly, and he took Mother Chu to the main seat and sat down.
The servants served tea, and Father Chu took a sip while slowly speaking, "If my guess is correct, Madam Lu is here this time because of the verbal engagement we made back then, right?"
Mother Lu looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at her son helplessly, then nodded. "It's all for my children, so I have no choice but to swallow my pride and make this trip."
What else can she do if her own son doesn't want to? Every time she comes here, she always feels that her family doesn't want Chu Ci to join the family because of her physical condition.
She obviously likes this child very much.
"Mrs. Lu, you're too serious. This matter should have been brought up a long time ago. My nephew Lu has never been married before, and I have thought about it a little bit. After all, it was just a verbal engagement, and the two children are so young, so it really can't be counted."
Father Chu smiled and spoke, resolving the matter, making it less awkward.
"Uncle, I'm really busy and live a rough life. I'm afraid I can't take good care of the Chu family's sister. This is my fault. I hope you don't blame me."
Lu Shaochen smiled respectfully and gently, and what he said was indeed correct.
As a traveling merchant, you have to go out and travel around every once in a while.
At this time, he naturally couldn't take care of a girl like Chu Ci, who was so weak that she fell ill every other day.
It would be even worse by then, and there might even be conflicts between the two families.
What's more, given my daughter's situation, I never thought she would be able to get married.
