They were easy to talk to the old lady, but if they angered the young master, he wouldn't let them off the hook. The young master was the old lady's darling, and they knew perfectly well which was more important.
Lu Qingyan left satisfied after seeing that they had all agreed.
Before leaving, they even brought a plate of hibiscus cake.
"Young Master, your nose." Pingfu reminded her from the side, handing Lu Qingyan a handkerchief. Lu Qingyan wiped the blood from her nose and held it in her hand.
Before they had taken two steps, someone came to deliver a message, saying that the master had something to discuss with the young master.
As Lu Qingyan walked towards her father, she thought to herself, "The old lady is already so old, why is she still thinking about putting someone in Lu Zhizhi's room? Maybe she knows Lu Zhizhi won't agree, so she's even resorting to the tactic of using nourishing soup!"
"Dad, what do you want?" A cocky voice rang out, and Lu Zhizhi felt an itch to punch him. He'd spent years at the Dali Temple and had never seen anyone as annoying as his son.
A young man walked out from the flower hall, wearing a blue robe with cloud patterns and a silver brocade belt with auspicious cloud patterns around his waist. He had jade-like features and was indeed a handsome young man at first glance.
However, the newcomer's gaze fell on the handkerchief in Lu Qingyan's hand, and he said angrily, "Prefect Lu, what a fine son you've raised!"
Hey, you can't say that. No matter how bad my son is, he's still my son, you can't say that.
Lu Zhizhi also put on a stern face: "Jiang Mingda, what do you mean by this? Although my son is a bit unruly, he is still kind at heart. Are you saying that I, Lu, have failed in raising my son?"
"Ha, you, Lu Zhizhi, are quite the ladies' man. I never imagined your son would be so promiscuous! He even brought a girl's handkerchief when meeting guests. What kind of behavior is this? What kind of behavior is this!" Jiang Mingda was also furious.
"Well, what have you done now, you unfilial son?" Perhaps because "Lu Qingyun" had done too many unreliable things, Lu Zhizhi immediately jumped up and down when Jiang Mingda criticized Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan's lips twitched, and she revealed the handkerchief.
"It's just a little blood from my nose, I wiped it with a handkerchief, how could Uncle Jiang think it's a virgin handkerchief? If I didn't know that Uncle Jiang has sons and daughters, I would really think that Uncle Jiang is still single at his age and has never had a wedding night."
"You—" Jiang Mingda almost fainted from anger at Lu Qingyan.
After finally catching her breath, she said, "Alright, I won't say anything more. Lu Zhizhi, you know what kind of person your son is. This marriage between our two families is absolutely impossible. I've come here today to break off the engagement."
“Jiang Mingda, you—” Although Lu Zhizhi was angry, she also knew that her son was not good enough for the girl.
Lu Zhizhi had thought about this marriage for a long time before agreeing to it. Unlike the Lu family, the Jiang family was not an official family; they were just merchants who had amassed considerable wealth.
Lu Zhizhi agreed to the marriage because he was after their family's wealth. His eldest son, Lu Qingyun, was essentially ruined, but he couldn't just watch the child grow up destitute. With such a wealthy in-law family, no matter how much the child squandered his fortune, he would never lack money.
But now, Jiang Mingda actually wants to break off the engagement!
Lu Zhizhi narrowed his eyes: "Jiang Mingda, what you did wasn't very fair. Over the years, how much have you taken from me? Now that you've had your fill, you want to dump me?"
