The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 881 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 52

But before she could open her mouth, she was stopped by Master Su's eyes. After the abbot left, he told her everything he knew.

"Su Wang said that he later paid back the money he advanced. Is that right?" Mr. Su looked at Mrs. Su with a gloomy expression and asked in a serious tone.

Mrs. Su nodded somewhat guiltily, but still tried to explain: "I always thought it was just a small matter..."

However, Master Su did not let her continue, but interrupted her and asked, "If the same thing happened to Shang Wen, would you care?"

These words hit Mrs. Su's heart like a heavy hammer. She widened her eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"After all, you just trust your eldest son too much and think he won't do anything out of line." There was a hint of disappointment in Mr. Su's voice.

Madam Su opened her mouth but said nothing because she knew she couldn't refute it.

Indeed, she had always trusted Su Shangxu too much and ignored these problems.

Now that things have come to this, the biggest problem is the marriage with the Lu family.

In this case, if Lu Siqi is married back, it will undoubtedly make enemies with the Lu family.

After all, it is hard to accept for a young lady from an official family to marry a "fool".

But the Lu family's situation is so special. In a few years, two relatives of the Lu family have passed away, and the other party has also delayed the marriage due to mourning.

Lu Siqi will be out of mourning at the end of this year, but she will be eighteen years old by then.

Mrs. Su felt very embarrassed. It seemed that it would be troublesome whether she married this man or not.

She frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just as Mrs. Su was struggling, Mr. Su said, "This matter can't be delayed any longer. We have to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Then he looked at Madam Su and said, "How about you go to the Lu family and find out what they mean? Our family will try their best to cooperate."

Mrs. Su nodded and had an idea in mind.

The next day, Mrs. Su came to the Lu Mansion to discuss the matter with Mrs. Lu II.

Madam Lu II is Lu Siqi's aunt. Ever since Madam Lu passed away, the Lu family's affairs have been handled by Madam Lu II.

Mrs. Su explained her family's situation, and then expressed regretfully, "Of course I hope Miss Lu can become my daughter-in-law, but my eldest son is in this situation now, and I am really afraid of wronging such a good child."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu also looked embarrassed.

But she also expressed her willingness to work with the Su family to find a solution. After all, no one wants to see their daughter suffer.

Moreover, Mrs. Lu herself has a daughter who is about to get married, so she can naturally empathize with her.

After some discussion, the two decided to announce to the public that Su Shangxu had suddenly fallen ill and was unable to get married.

If Su Shangxu can be cured in the end, the marriage will continue. If at the end of the year, when Lu Siqi is ready to leave mourning, and Su Shangxu is still not cured, the two families will cancel the engagement.

After the storm has passed, Lu Siqi will look for a suitable marriage.

The two were discussing things well, but Lu Siqi barged in at this moment. She knelt down in front of Madam Su and said, "Aunt, I am willing to marry into the Su family."

"Good boy, I know how you feel about Xu'er, but he has already..." Mrs. Su thought of her eldest son's situation, her voice was choked with sobs, "Auntie knows that this is unfair to you, but I can't delay you!

You are still young, you can’t risk your whole life on this.”

"If he breaks off the engagement with me, will he still marry?" Lu Siqi asked with a sad face.

"No!" Madam Su shook her head. "We don't want to cheat the daughters of good families. Anyway, we still have Shang Wen. He is already trying to adapt to how to inherit the family business. Let him take care of his brother in the future!"

"But he has to get married!" Lu Siqi suddenly changed the subject, "Aunt, if Shang Xu is still not well by the end of the year, I am willing to marry the second son of the Su family, take good care of the harem for him, and take good care of the eldest son. Please grant my wish, Madam!"

After saying this, she kowtowed to Mrs. Su again with an extremely sincere expression.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Lu's mood suddenly brightened up.

That's right! The Su family has more than one son. Rather than being an old maid at home and having a bad reputation, it's better to marry the second son of the Su family.

The in-laws are still the same family, and the key is that the betrothal gift does not need to be returned.

Mrs. Su was obviously a little surprised by Lu Siqi's proposal. Her second son was two or three years younger than her!

However, as a woman three years older than her husband, she doesn't care about these things.

It was a good thing that Lu Siqi married into the family. She could take care of Su Shangwen for me. I absolutely could not let what happened before happen to my second son again.

Although she basically agreed in her heart, Mrs. Su still said, "I'll go back and think about it first, and ask about the situation. Anyway, this matter is not urgent, there are still several months before the end of the year!"

"Yeah!" Lu Siqi also stood up at this time. Because she was the one who gave the hint just now, she was lowering her head shyly!

However, those eyes that should have been shy were filled with coldness!
