Looking at his mother's serious look.
Lu Shaochen just felt something was wrong in his heart.
After all, the Lu family doesn't need the Chu family.
His mother certainly didn't have the bookish air of Chu's mother. It was common for her to play and make noises with her sisters, but it was hard to understand why she would sit so quietly in one place and look at something so intently.
Lu Shaochen paused for a moment.
His eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of hesitation.
But this hesitation won't change anything.
Mother Lu had heard the servant's report early on, and she looked up when she heard a little noise.
He glanced at his outstanding youngest son.
The Chu family had few members. Besides Chu Ci, they had only one son, who was much older than Chu Ci. He had married and had children early on, and lived in Shangjing and worked as an official.
The Lu family is wealthy and powerful, but they have strict family traditions. The men from the Lu family have always been unromantic, so there has never been a situation where they have three wives and four concubines.
Although there are still fewer children than in other families, there are much more than in the Chu family.
For example, Lu Shaochen has an older brother and an older sister, but they have already started their own families and careers. In addition to Lu Shaochen's family, there are many cousins, and they usually have close contacts with each other.
"Shaochen, you are here, come here quickly, come here quickly."
Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand and waved at Lu Shaochen, signaling him to come over quickly.
Lu Shaochen's eyes were filled with helplessness. He walked over and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Isn't mother trying to find you a girl who's right for you?"
Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Shaochen's movements still froze slightly.
"The marriage has been called off, and I feel it's a pity, but since you don't like me, I can't do anything about it. Here are the portraits of all the girls of marriageable age in Jiang Wan. Come and take a look and see if there's any that you like. Then I can make preparations for you and ask them as soon as possible. After all, you're already so old."
Lu Shaochen: ...Mom, no need, really. I really liked the previous engagement. Please don’t be a stumbling block on my way forward, okay?
You are truly my mother.
"I was hoping for luck before, thinking that if you saw the girl and fell in love with her, you wouldn't want to cancel the engagement. Anyway, I also liked the girl from the Chu family, so I let you drag it out. Now that the engagement has been called off, you can't drag it out any longer."
Mrs. Lu spoke earnestly as she picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of water.
The corners of Lu Shaochen's lips twitched slightly, "Mom, really..." No need.
"Don't tell me you're still young. Your elder brother and elder sister are already married, and you're the only one dragging them along like this." Mrs. Lu glared at him, put down her teacup, and spoke.
He probably wouldn't be able to get a word in before she finished.
Lu Shaochen listened to the mumbling and was too lazy to look at the album handed to him by Mrs. Lu. He glanced at the side lightly, and then frowned slightly.
While Mrs. Lu was muttering, he reached out and pulled out the album with a particularly different cover from the pile of albums for girls.
He looked down carefully.
"Mom, what is this?"
Lu Shaochen's voice slowly sounded, interrupting her.
Mrs. Lu, who was still talking nonstop, was stunned for a moment, stopped talking, leaned over to take a look, and recognized what it was.
