Chapter 1895: Chapter 1897
Seeing Luo Linhao come out, not only did Madam Li panic, but even Li Susu was flustered.
But she was a smart person, capable of quickly figuring out what was best for herself.
In this situation, she didn’t understand why Cousin had suddenly stepped out, especially when they had already agreed to separate previously.
But seeing where Luo Linhao emerged, she understood that her conversation with Cousin had indeed been overheard by the other party.
Thinking deeper, she realized she could not marry into the Luo Family, as Luo Linhao would never marry someone who had a secret relationship.
Additionally, with Yang Chuxia and these other ladies present, along with the decree from the Noble Princess Concubine, the matter would certainly spread, and perhaps in the future, she would end up like Luo Linfei.
No, that’s not right, she was different from Luo Linfei, she still had a cousin. Right now, establishing a relationship with her cousin and marrying him was the best outcome for her.
Besides, she originally liked her cousin.
So after Luo Linhao finished speaking, she immediately kowtowed to Madam Li, "Mother, please fulfill our wish, my cousin and I love each other deeply, we are sincere."
"Aunt, I beg you!" Madam Li’s nephew, seeing that Li Susu also admitted and pleaded just like him, immediately felt joyful inside.
"Truly a pair to be pitied." Yang Chuxia wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, "Even I am moved. Madam Li, a close nephew and a daughter, it’s quite the family union."
"Sister-in-law, do you have any principles left?" Luo Linhao said angrily, "Although I would not snatch someone’s love, during this period of engagement discussions, what the Li Family’s girl did is no different than putting a green hat on me, and you’re still moved by them? Shouldn’t you vent some anger for me?"
"Shut up!" Yang Chuxia glared at him, "How do you plan to vent your anger? Do you intend to break them apart? Interfering with such a union would invite heaven’s wrath and a miserable next life. You, as a man, should show some magnanimity."
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Sister-in-law." Luo Linhao stepped aside and said no more.
Only then did Yang Chuxia turn back to look at Madam Li, whose face alternated between red and green. Hearing Yang Chuxia’s words a moment ago had made Madam Li uncomfortable, as she was also someone who had intervened in separating a couple.
"Madam Li, it seems the engagement between the Luo Family and the Li Family cannot proceed. I won’t say more about what the Li Family’s young lady did, but this matter must be reported to Her Highness Noble Princess Consort, as this isn’t a case of Linhao defying the imperial decree."
"No, I disagree!" Just after Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Old Master Li came over, with the First Madam Luo following closely behind.
"You disagree?" Yang Chuxia looked over, "Could it be that Old Master Li still wants Linhao to marry a girl who has a secret relationship with someone else? How important do you think the Li Family’s face is?"
As a fellow woman, she originally didn’t want to say anything harsh, but since Old Master Li disagreed, she couldn’t be blamed.
"What secret relationship? Don’t speak nonsense." The First Madam Luo rushed up, "I know you, you just don’t want Susu to marry Linhao, isn’t that because your sister also wants to marry Linhao? You’re afraid Susu will be favored and your sister will be bullied."
"Am I speaking nonsense?" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "It was your niece who admitted it personally. Even if I were deaf, could everyone else here possibly be deaf as well?"
The First Madam Luo, upon hearing this, immediately glared at the other ladies, "Keep your noses out of other people’s business. Be very careful of the words you let slip, and think about whether you can bear the consequences."
