C9 Invite to Visit

Following that, he sat down at the table. Luo Zhiping picked up the teacup that Senior Servant Li had given him and turned it around, but didn't put it in his mouth. He indifferently said, "Let this aunt get up. I'm still a junior. This isn't good."

When Luo Shuya angrily rushed to the study room, just as Guan Shaoning was about to leave, the two of them met on a narrow path and almost bumped into each other head-on.

"Humph!" The more she looked after Shaoning, the more shabby she became. Luo Shuya was filled with anger, she could no longer maintain the image of a dignified and intelligent young miss.

"Miss Shuya, I'm sorry, I was rude."

Guan Shaoning, however, acted as if he didn't care about her attitude at all. He politely extended his hand in an attempt to give her a hand, but was heavily slapped aside by Luo Shuya.

"Don't pretend to be nice here, I won't marry you even if I die."

Not only Guan Shaoning, but even Luo Qingchen, who was following behind him, and Chao Chao Shan, who had heard the commotion and came out to check, had a change in expression.

The Luo Family no longer looked down on Guan Shaoning, and didn't want to marry Luo Shuya off to him. In the end, everyone was well aware of this fact and maintained a friendly relationship on the surface. There was still room for redemption. However, Luo Shuya just laid everything out naked in front of everyone, causing the nature of this matter to go through a thorough change.

Once Guan Shaoning found out that they were actually betrothed to Luo Shuya, it wouldn't be so simple if they wanted her to marry them instead.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Shuya finished speaking, Guan Shaoning's gentle and refined voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Miss Luo, although I also do not wish for you to make things difficult for me, but the words of the matchmaker of my parents, you and I were already destined to be husband and wife when you were born."

His voice was very gentle and his smile was always pleasant to the eye. However, Luo Shuya, who was being looked straight at, somehow felt a bone-chilling coldness in the warm weather. She was scared speechless for a moment.

It was at this moment that Chao Shan finally had the chance to speak up and help Luo Shuya out.

He then coldly glared at Ju Qing, and said coldly, "What are you still doing, hurry up and get Miss up!"

Luo Qingchen stood unsteadily on his feet, and could only stand against the wall after getting away from Ju Qing's support. With his dirty clothes and small face, he looked even worse than a maid.

From start to finish, Luo Chao Shan hadn't even glanced at her, as if he had never had a daughter like her. Luo Qingchen merely bowed slightly, then silently stood at the side with his head lowered.

She was just here to watch a good show, and to push a little at a crucial moment to add fuel to the fire. When it was possible to not attract attention, it was best to avoid attracting too much attention.

As for the aunt's side, with Big Bro and Big Bro around, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being. As long as she solved the problems on one side, the problems on the other side would naturally be solved.

With the help of her sister's strength, Luo Shuya stood up and walked a few steps to the side of the mountain. She pulled his arm pitifully and said, "Daddy, I …"

She didn't finish what she wanted to say and was scared back by the stern gaze of Camouflage Mountain.

"Nephew Guan." In order to not let the matter ferment further due to Luo Shuya's recklessness, Luo Chao Shan could only kindly look at Guan Shaoning and said kindly, "You should go back to your room first. We'll discuss this matter formally after a while."

But after being humiliated in front of outsiders by Luo Shuya, how could Guan Shaoning leave now? He acted as if he didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Chao Shan's words and straightforwardly invited him in: "Of course we're not in a hurry, there's no auspicious day for this month, and we still need time to prepare. It is just that this nephew has already been at the Dingan Estate for more than half a month and has yet to have the chance to properly go out for a stroll.

He smiled, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and said word by word, "After all, you and I are engaged. In the country of South Qi, unless someone suddenly dies or commits a serious crime …" "Of course, my meaning is that I hope to have the opportunity to get to know Miss Shuya better."

The Southern Qi Country respected the Taoism and Confucianism. It was worshiped by the King of Heaven and Earth. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness were all important matters. Therefore, a marriage contract with a keepsake and documents personally made by a deceased senior like Guan Shaoning and Luo Shuya, other than the one mentioned by Guan Shaoning, couldn't be broken.

Perhaps, if they sought the help of the Lord Prefect, there was still a small possibility that they would be able to resolve this issue without harming their relationship. But who among them would have such a great deal of face?

That was why when Guan Shaoning came to ask the Luo Family to fulfill their engagement, Chao Shan was so annoyed.

Other than that, however, the relationships between men and women weren't that strict. There were even cases where a young master was invited directly to his residence because he had his own girl in his sights. As long as someone followed him, no one would criticize him unless they were alone in their room.

Of course, family and family were still the keys to a marriage between a man and a woman. At the very least, as her fiancé, Guan Shaoning was the one who could not, and absolutely could not, refuse such a request.

"Father." Luo Shuya could only look at Chao Shan, hoping that he would seek justice for her.

She couldn't go out with Guan Shaoning, much less let others know that she was engaged to him. Otherwise, how could she marry him?

Chao Shan was also fully aware of this point, and he wanted to find an excuse without any hesitation. "Nephew Guan, you've seen it too, my daughter just fell heavily a moment ago, so standing up now is still a problem. I'm afraid I can't accompany nephew on a stroll, if not, I'd rather let my other daughter replace her — Qingchen!"

Only then did Luo Qingchen realize that it wasn't that he hadn't seen her, but that he had never put her in his heart.

She wasn't Luo Shuya, so she couldn't make a ruckus without a reason, and she couldn't use a spoiled child's play to get Camel Chao Shan to retract his order. She could only limp out and bow, "Daddy!"

She didn't show any will, happiness or displeasure, she only calmly fulfilled her obligations as a child.

"Uncle Shi, Miss Shuya only tripped a little, but I'm afraid Fourth Miss Luo is a lot more severe than that."

In his heart, Luo Qingchen was not worthy of him no matter what.

Only then did Chao Shan notice that something was wrong with Luo Qingchen. He asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you?"

"I …" Luo Qingcheng wanted to say something but hesitated. She carefully looked at Luo Shuya and then at Chao Shan, not daring to utter a single word.

However, Chao Shan knew what was going on. He glared at Luo Shuya in disappointment.
