Sending Huo Man into Prince Rongâs Mansion? Heâd have to be crazy to do that.
After all, he personally watched Chu Ziluo grow up, how could he possibly send a woman to Prince Rong to trouble her?
You must know their wedding is only half a month away.
If Chu Ziluo wasnât marrying Prince Rong, he naturally wouldnât mind helping out.
"Marry into Prince Rongâs Mansion?" Lu Sangqi looked at her with a faint smile: "If entering Prince Rongâs Mansion was so easy, would it be Huo familyâs turn?"
Now, Prince Rong is no longer the neglected little pitiable he once was; he has military power in his hands and has gained Emperor Xuanmingâs favor, causing other noble families to be eager to make a move.
Had it not been for the Chu familyâs swift action, Prince Rongâs marriage would have been fiercely contested.
Second Lady Huo wore a sullen face, displeased with his attitude: "If you canât accomplish this, then there is no way I would agree to send Huo Ning to you."
"Ha, do you think you can stop me that way?" Lu Sangqi laughed deeply: "Iâm a man, Huo Ning is a woman, who suffers the loss, thatâs not for you to decide at home."
"Of course, if Madam Huo you have the good sense, we can naturally have friendly interactions in the future, instead of being adversarial," Lu Sangqi was relentless.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Second Lady Huoâs emotions changed dramatically with his threatening tone, "This wonât work, that wonât work either, and you claim to be sincerely cooperating; is this the sincerity you showed me?"
Lu Sangqi took a sip of tea, his unhurried manner contrasting with Second Lady Huoâs exasperated demeanor: "You in the Huo Residence have taken a fancy to Prince Rongâs Mansion; I canât make Huo Man a consort, but helping to create an opportunity for Huo Man to meet Prince Rong once, thatâs possible."
"One meeting is not enough." Second Lady Huo said without hesitation, very dissatisfied.
Lu Sangqi looked at her with a faint smile: "Second Madam, you donât really think that giving Huo Man a few more chances would charm Prince Rong into preferring her, and then heâll want to marry her into the residence, do you?"
Second Lady Huoâs face froze, in her mind, her own daughter was naturally excellent in every way, whatâs so strange about being liked by Prince Rong.
But being told this by Lu Sangqi, she found it rather embarrassing; yet she also understood that the likelihood of Prince Rong falling for Manâer at first glance was very low.
"Besides, as long as Prince Rong is not foolish, he wonât indulge in petty affairs. After all, his marriage with the Chu family is ordained by the Emperor, and offending Miss Chu now is equivalent to opposing the Emperor. Would Prince Rong be that foolish?"
"What do you mean?" Second Lady Huo, although not fond of Lu Sangqi, had to admit that he was knowledgeable, at least every word he said struck a chord with her.
"Wait until Prince Rong is married, then meet with him, and strive to let Prince Rong have no choice but to take responsibility." He drank a cup of tea and spoke leisurely.
Second Lady Huo almost jumped upon hearing this: "My daughter, Manâer, should marry openly and honorably into Prince Rongâs Mansion, not because of..." She couldnât speak the unpleasant words that followed, looking at Lu Sangqi with some discontent.
Lu Sangqi just sneered twice, causing Second Lady Huo to lose face.
But Lu Sangqi didnât care about her feelings at all.
In the end, Second Lady Huo conceded, her face sullen as she said, "Fine, todayâs matters, youâre not allowed to speak about it, otherwise I have ways to deal with Huo Ning."
Lu Sangqi restrained the urge to slap her, snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out.
When Lu Sangqi had gone far, Second Lady Huo angrily smashed the teacup he had used and instructed the servants to keep Huo Ning confined to the side courtyard in the residence.
