Late at night, everyone in the Liu Mansion had already rested. Mr. Liu was sitting in the hall, simply wearing a fur robe. Even though it was March, it was still a bit cold. Mr. Liu looked outside the door, waiting for news.
"Master." Butler Li ran in in a hurry, panting.
"Steward Li, how's the inquiry going? Does Gu Mansion come to break off the engagement?" Mr. Liu asked immediately when he saw Steward Li coming in.
Butler Li rested for a while, with a grimace on his face. Is there any change in what the Gu family had set out to do? He sighed and said, "Master, someone sent a message saying that the Gu family's mistress has made up her mind to do this.
It’s a matter of marriage, and I have no intention of going back on my words at all.”
Helplessness flashed in Mr. Liu's eyes. There were only two options before him. Either he would marry off his dowry, or he would destroy the century-old foundation of the Liu family. He was unwilling to choose either of these two options. If he married
, is equivalent to ending a lifetime of happiness. If you don't marry, you will be ashamed of your ancestors.
"Master, I think this marriage is a good deal. But I'm really puzzled. The eldest lady lost face and lost her etiquette in the hall during the day. I didn't expect that the Gu family would still approve of this marriage?" Butler Li was really puzzled.
The reason, he still couldn't figure it out at this age.
Mr. Liu didn't say much. Unexpectedly, Butler Li didn't understand it until now. After all, he still understands his Zhuang'er. It is estimated that Butler Liu must have seen the characteristics of Zhuang'er. Based on Butler Liu's status in the Gu family,
As long as he says a few words in front of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, the marriage will inevitably fall through. Perhaps in the eyes of Butler Li, Zhuang'er's actions today are embarrassing and have become a laughing stock. But such a bold person
The method is definitely not something that ordinary women can do.
"Dad stayed up most of the night. I thought he was catching crickets." Liu Meizhuang walked in with a swagger and casually sat down next to Mr. Liu.
"Zhuang'er, it's so late at night, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Mr. Liu was puzzled. Zhuang'er spent almost all of her day sleeping, even when she went to the academy to sleep. When she thought of her childhood, Master Fuzi came to her door every day.
, Mr. Liu is extremely helpless.
"Why isn't daddy asleep yet?" Liu Meizhuang was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, showing no signs of laziness. Her eyes were full of energy, which was even more dazzling in the middle of the night. With a smile on her lips, she naturally knew why her daddy was late at night.
Don't sleep. My father must have put in so much effort for her since she was a child. It's just getting married. What's there to worry about?
"Zhuang'er, why don't you pack your things late at night and take that girl Xiaofu away? Dad will arrange a place for you."
"I'll marry."
"Zhuang'er, what are you talking about? Do you know where Gu Mansion is? Let's not talk about the rules and etiquette, let's talk about Third Young Master Gu. As the future young master of Gu Mansion, Third Young Master Gu will never have three wives and four concubines.
I don't want you to be wronged like your mother. After all, this is the happiness of your life." Mr. Liu stood up in a hurry and looked at Liu Meizhuang in surprise.
How could Liu Meizhuang not know this? Should she be allowed to live alone without her parents? If she escapes from the marriage, the Gu family will lose face in Jiangnan. Naturally, the Liu family will bear the brunt. The Gu family will never let her parents go.
. He smiled meaninglessly. In a noble family, there are many people and many thoughts. At worst, the soldiers will come to stop him, and the water will come to cover him up. He stood up and smiled at Mr. Liu.
"For Zhuang'er, a good place is a place where she can eat, drink and sleep."
After all, Mr. Liu just smiled helplessly, still caring for his daughter. He stretched out his hand and scratched Liu Meizhuang's nose lovingly. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his daughter had become so beautiful, and she had reached the age to get married.
