Shen Chaochu is in a difficult situation now. It is true that he likes Yun Luoran, but the Shen family is only prosperous on the surface and cannot even afford a thousand taels of silver.
He accidentally saved Yun Luoyue at the bottom of the cliff. During those days, they stayed together day and night and promised to spend their lives together.
After walking out of the bottom of the cliff, his family knew about their relationship and did not object. Instead, they supported his marriage with the Yun family and hoped that he would marry her as soon as possible to avoid ruining the girl's reputation.
Even though Yun Luoran was later replaced by Yun Luoran, the Shen family still did not object. They would not care about these things anyway, as long as he married a girl from the Yun family.
But now Yun Luoran has become the daughter of the poor scholar Wu Yuanyan. How could the Shen family accept her into the family? What they need is a daughter-in-law who comes with a generous dowry.
Mrs. Shen looked at her son who lowered his brows and remained silent.
"Chao'er, did you hear what the elders said? Break off ties with Yun Luoran immediately. You know the situation at home, and we won't tolerate your willful behavior right now."
"Son understands."
Seeing that her son was in some pain, Mrs. Shen's attitude softened.
"Chao'er, it's not that your mother is cruel and won't let you marry the woman you love, but you also know the situation at home. For so many years, the clan has placed all their hopes on you."
"I hope you can stand in the court again like your grandfather did. Back when your grandfather was a cabinet minister, our Shen family was so glorious! But now we have fallen into such a state."
"So you must marry a girl from the Yun family. If you really like that Yun Luoran, then take her in as a concubine."
When Chen Chaochu and Yun Ruoran had a tryst, they lost their former passion and became hesitant.
"I'm sorry Ranran, my family doesn't agree with our marriage."
"You are a good girl. Find a good man to marry in the future. Although I love you very much, I don't want to delay you."
Yun Luoran felt like the sky was falling.
"Brother Shen, what did you say? Even you don't want me anymore?"
"Father implicated me because of Mother's fault, and now even you don't want me anymore. Where else can I go? I might as well just die. Living is just dislike anyway..."
Shen Chaochu quickly hugged the person in his arms and comforted him softly.
Then the two of them sat there and plotted against Yun Luoyue.
Of course, Yun Luoyue, who was far away in Luocheng, didn't know about this.
At this moment, she was strolling with the little girl.
"Miss, this candy man is so sweet, would you like one?"
"No, you can eat it yourself."
Xiuhe happily followed her, eating a candy man and a candied haws.
Luocheng really is a trading city! There are so many merchants coming and going, and the little gadgets sold on the street are quite novel, at least they are not available in Fengcheng.
As the master and servant were walking, they suddenly encountered something blocking their way.
"My lady, my master would like to invite you for a cup of tea."
Yun Luoyue raised her eyebrows.
"No, who is your master? I don't even know your master, so why should I drink his tea?"
The two men who looked like servants did not give her a chance to refute and directly made a gesture of invitation.
Judging from the situation, if I don’t go, they will probably kidnap me on the spot.
"It's just a cup of tea, I'll go with you. Xiuhe, go buy some cakes up front."
Xiuhe knew that the young lady wanted to get rid of her, so she ran away in frustration. After all, she had seen the young lady's abilities along the way, so she didn't stay and cause trouble for the young lady.
In the private room on the second floor of Yuyou Building, a man in his forties, with no beard and a slightly feminine voice, saw her come in and raised his hand to let everyone in the room leave.
"Young lady, please take a seat. I invited you up here because I was attracted by your beautiful face at first sight."
The tone of his voice made it clear that he was a eunuch.
Yun Luoyue sat down calmly.
"What does it mean that this gentleman is attracted by my appearance? I don't understand."
The old man moved towards her evilly.
"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you slowly."
"I am the most favored eunuch Xi by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager, mindful of my hard work, has allowed me to return to my hometown to retire."
"This eunuch has never married. Today, I was free and I fell in love with this girl. Is she willing to marry into our family?"
Ever since he called himself Eunuch Xi, Yun Luoyue wanted to kill him with a knife. It would be a kindness to such a person to let him live for a moment longer.
"How do I know if what my father-in-law said is true? What if he is lying to me and has already married several beautiful women?"
Eunuch Xi said on the spot that he would take her home to see if what he said was true.
I didn't expect that a eunuch would have such a big mansion. When the gatekeeper saw him coming back, he came forward with a flattering look on his face.
"My father-in-law is back."
"Well, you'll get some benefits if you guard the door well."
"Thank you, eunuch. Thank you, eunuch. I will guard the gate tightly and not let even a fly in."
There were countless slaves in the courtyard, and every time you walked a distance, you could see several guards on duty.
"What do you think of our mansion, young lady?"
Yun Luoyue looked like she had never seen the world before.
"It's so big! So spectacular! I've never seen such a luxurious courtyard before."
Eunuch Xi smiled with satisfaction.
"Don't be envious, girl. This will be your home in the future."
Yun Luoyue intentionally or unintentionally avoided his extended dirty hands.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down in the hall, a group of beautiful girls ran over.
