Li Qingluo turned around and knelt down. "Luo'er still doesn't understand what happened, so I can't answer."
She was naturally confused if she pretended to know nothing.
Li Chaojing shook his head.
Madam Pei spoke slowly, "To put it simply, it's Zhuang Sanlang from the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion. When you were still in your mother's womb, you two were already betrothed."
"Although Li Qingzhu has occupied your marriage for these years, now that you have returned to your position and Li Qingzhu is dead, the marriage will naturally be returned to you."
"Luo'er, this is an excellent match. I heard that Zhuang Sanlang is very good at studying, and he doesn't need to inherit the throne, but he will definitely be a man of great achievements in the future."
"You two will find life much easier without the constraints of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Do you understand what Grandmother means?"
Li Qingluo felt bitter in his heart.
As a girl, she has no say in marriage.
If she really said no, it would mean she was being disobedient.
If we really say a few more words, it would be even more frivolous, disrespectful, and self-deprecating, so grandma is just trying to force her to agree, right?
Although her grandmother wanted to give her an excellent marriage, a forced marriage is not a happy one. Even if she and Zhuang Wei were married, they would be a couple that tortured each other.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qingluo tried to speak in reply, "Grandmother, Father. I've only been home a short time. I don't know the true connections between these powerful and wealthy families in the capital, or how deep they are."
"Luo'er now wants to spend more time with his family at home to make up for the years of absence."
"So, regarding the marriage, Luo'er is afraid that she is marrying above her station, and that it would bring shame to her family if she went to the Zhuang family."
She didn't say no, but she didn't nod either. She just stated some facts.
Li Chaojing nodded involuntarily.
He was met with a fierce warning look from Madam Pei.
Li Chaojing quickly touched the bridge of his nose and cleared his throat. "I'll discuss this matter with your grandmother. You may leave first."
Li Qingluo knew that breaking off the engagement was not easy.
If both grandmother and Li Chaojing are determined to continue the marriage, then Li Qingluo can only go through Zhuang Wei to cancel the engagement.
However, Li Qingluo did not expect that the first person who could not wait for this matter was not himself or Zhuang Sanlang, but Li Kechuan.
On the wobbly cart, Li Qingluo was put in a sack and gagged.
She woke up slowly and could only see some faint light through the sack.
Li Qingshu felt a sharp pain in her head. She remembered that when the incident happened, she was in Qu's Chunzaitang.
