Chapter 370: The Girl Yu Yang Liked
Yu Yang did not know why his mother paid so much attention to Lu Sheng. Previously, she even thought of pairing him up with Lu Sheng.
Thankfully, Lord Chu did not know his mother’s thoughts. Otherwise, the Yu Mansion would be finished.
“That’s not the point. The point is, does Mdm Chu know about this?”
Mdm Yu thought about it and felt that someone like Mdm Chu would not be interested in Lu Sheng’s family background.
If only Mdm Chu didn’t fancy her. Her son might be able to benefit then.
“Of course.”
Yu Yang smiled and said, “I heard from Brother Lu that Lord Chu and Miss Lu almost got married initially. However, because Lord Chu has never seen Miss Lu before, he rejected this marriage and even rushed back from Lin Jiang Mansion.”
Mdm Yu was surprised. “You’re saying that this marriage was decided by Mdm Chu?”
“More or less.”
Yu Yang said calmly, “I heard that the State Minister personally arranged this marriage.”
“The State Minister?”
Mdm Yu was puzzled. “What has this got to do with the State Minister?”
Wasn’t it just a engagement? Why was the State Minister involved?
“It was said that the State Minister went south with Prime Minister Fu once and happened to see Lord Chu. He calculated that there would be a huge calamity when he was thirty years old. Unless Lord Chu marries Miss Lu, he will not be able to survive this calamity.”
“Oh!”
After hearing Yu Yang’s words, Mdm Yu suddenly understood.
She knew it. Given Mdm Chu’s personality, how could she agree to this marriage?
Did the State Minister order them?
Mdm Yu gave a light tsk. “Doesn’t that mean that Miss Shangguan has no chance?”
“Her?”
Yu Yang smiled faintly. “Lord Chu should not be interested in her.”
Not long ago, the county magistrate, no, Old Master Shangguan, had once looked for his father to ask him to marry Shangguan Linger.
He had only heard his father mention this later, so his mother should not know yet.
When his father asked him for his opinion, he rejected him without thinking.
He had seen Shangguan Linger a few times. He was not interested in such an arrogant girl.
Moreover, Old Master Shangguan had previously offended the Crown Prince because of the Lin Jiang Mansion’s Old Master Jiang. If the higher-ups were to pursue the matter, he would definitely be punished severely.
“That’s true.”
Mdm Yu nodded slightly. “Lord Chu is different from Mdm Chu. He’s smart and decisive. His taste is naturally not what someone like Mdm Chu can compare to.”
Yu Yang smiled. “Do you have other doubts, Mother?”
“Not for now.”
Mdm Yu shook her head. Then, she sighed softly and said, “You’re nineteen too, right? Mingyue is sixteen and already at the age of marriage. Do you have a sweetheart? Or do you know which young master your sister likes?”
As she got older, she felt envious when she saw other people’s children and grandchildren.
“Mother, I’m returning to school tomorrow morning. I still have some unfinished work.”
Mdm Yu knew that he was chasing her away.
“Alright.”
Mdm Yu stood up helplessly. After taking two steps, she turned back. “If you meet a girl you like one day, remember to tell me. I’ll settle it for you.”
Yu Yang was speechless.
He had a girl he liked, but…
He did not know if that girl was still in Huang Yang Town. He had not seen her for many years.
Seeing his silence, Mdm Yu pouted and hurried out. She even thoughtfully closed the door for him.
After leaving Yu Yang’s courtyard, Mdm Yu’s gaze landed on Yu Mingyue’s courtyard.
Her lips curved upwards.
If she could not settle her son, she would go and trick her daughter.
