Chapter 48: Lu Miaoyun!

“Uncle Lu, Patriarch is willing to marry the Second Miss to me, which surprises and pleases me greatly.”

“I also like the second young lady very much, but the second young lady and I are not suitable.”

Lu Changseng said with a wry smile on his face.

“I do indeed have many wives and children, and when I sought immortality, I vowed in my heart to marry a hundred wives and have hundreds of children,” he continued. “But what Second Miss desires is someone who can love her wholeheartedly, which I find difficult to promise and impossible to fulfill.”

“So Second Miss and I are destined to be incompatible. Even if we were to marry, it could become a seed of conflict.”

Lu Changsheng confessed sincerely.

“If conflicts arise, when the time comes, I will be ashamed to face the Patriarch.”

Uncle Lu’s face twitched slightly at Lu Changsheng’s words.

Marrying a hundred wives and having hundreds of children was a statement that made him almost unable to contain himself.

He almost wanted to ask, “Are you a boar?”

But considering that it had only been a little over four years and Lu Changsheng already had twelve wives, he seemed to be striving towards that goal.

“Alas!”

Uncle Lu sighed deeply.

He never expected that in this blind date, while Miss Lu agreed, Lu Changsheng would find her unsuitable.

However, Lu Changsheng’s reasons, though flawed, were understandable.

Even though Lu Changsheng had a remarkable talent for making talismans, he had not realized all of his potential.

If they were to marry, Miss Lu would have the upper hand.

Given Miss Lu’s character, Lu Changsheng would probably have to accommodate her more.

If Lu Changsheng was willing to accommodate her, it would be fine.

But if, as Lu Changsheng said, conflicts arose between them, how would the Lu family handle it?

Biased on Lu Miaohuan?

Of course, that won’t work.

Lu Changsheng is extremely talented in making talismans. If he can further improve his talisman-making skills and turn his potential into strength, his status in the Lu Family will be comparable to that of the Guest Elder.

Doing this will obviously make Lu Changsheng feel resentful and force Lu Changsheng to leave.

By marrying a direct descendant of the Lu family to Lu Changsheng, they want to tie him firmly to the Lu family.

If that’s the case, it would be counterproductive.

But if Lu Changsheng is biased, it will put Patriarch Lu Yuanding in a difficult position.

So if Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan were to have a conflict, it would indeed be embarrassing for the Lu family to be caught in the middle.

“Alright, I understand what you mean. I will tell the patriarch truthfully.”

Lu Bo patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and didn’t say much more.

After all, things like this required mutual consent, and they couldn’t force Lu Changsheng to do anything.

If they were to say anything, the Lu family might even lean more towards Lu Changsheng.

“Thank you, Uncle Lu.”

Lu Changsheng said guiltily.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to mention to Lu Yuanding that Li Feiyu had given birth.

To see if he could ask Lu Yuanding to exempt or reduce the number of Li Feiyu’s fifty children.

But now, in this situation, he felt embarrassed to bring it up, so he decided to put it on hold for now and look for another opportunity later.

“He said he wants to marry a hundred women? Have hundreds of children?”

When Lu Yuanding heard Lu Bo’s report, he was also speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Is he planning to complete centuries of family history in just a few decades?

It seems that Lu Changsheng has completely given up on cultivation and only wants to have children.

However, when he thought about Lu Changsheng’s Ninth Grade Spirit Root, he could understand it to a certain extent.

“Yes, Patriarch.”

“Even though it sounds like a joke, I feel that Lu Changsheng really means it to some extent. It doesn’t seem like he’s making excuses to refuse to marry the Second Miss.”

Lu Bo smiled bitterly.

Lu Yuanding nodded when he heard this.

Then he sighed deeply and said, “I seem to have overlooked this matter.”

Regardless of whether Lu Changsheng’s words were excuses or the truth, he didn’t feel any guilt towards him.

As the head of the family, he still had a certain amount of tolerance.

For the sake of the family’s interests, he couldn’t blame Lu Changsheng.

Besides, when he thought about this marriage, he always thought about his daughter, Lu Miaohuan.

He believed that Lu Changsheng would be a very suitable candidate for his daughter.

He hadn’t considered Lu Changsheng’s wishes and thoughts.

Unconsciously, there was also a hint of arrogance in his heart.

He thought that if he married his daughter to Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng would be grateful and wouldn’t refuse.

But now that he thought about it, Lu Changsheng’s words made sense.

Ignoring the fact that he wanted to have hundreds of children, their personalities might not be very compatible, and what if conflicts arose in the future?

He was confident that he could control Lu Changsheng now, but what about later?

Even though he was the patriarch of the Lu family, he couldn’t use his power to oppress others, and the other elders wouldn’t agree to that either.

Besides, Lu Changsheng’s words also showed that he had the Lu Family’s perspective in mind.

It showed a sense of belonging to the Lu family and was a friendly gesture.

“Sigh.”

Lu Yuanding sighed again.

He was now just an old father worrying about his daughter.

Thinking about how his daughter had calmed down a lot and was willing to wait for Lu Changsheng’s answer, it showed that his daughter did have some affection for Lu Changsheng.

But now that Lu Changsheng didn’t agree, he didn’t know how to face his daughter or how to explain this matter to her.

Headache.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng received another matchmaking invitation.

He also understood that in the high echelons of the Lu Family, he would have to marry a woman who carried weight within the family.

Only then could he truly be considered one of them, a true son-in-law of the Lu Family.

Even though he had previously married nine secular women from the Lu Family, he still wasn’t considered a true son-in-law in the eyes of the higher echelons of the Lu Family.

The girl he was set up with was named Lu Miaoyun, the granddaughter of the fourth elder of the Lu family.

She was eighteen years old, with a seventh-class Spirit Root, and she was delicate and well-behaved.

Probably because of Lu Miaohuan’s matter, the Lu family deliberately chose a girl who was obedient and reasonable.

The matchmaking process went smoothly.

After the meeting, both parties nodded their heads, and the next day, the Lu family finalized the marriage.

The wedding was scheduled for eighteen days later, which happened to be an auspicious day.

Meanwhile, in an ancient and elegant building.

“Crash!”

A beautifully patterned vase shattered to pieces.

The fragments on the ground reflected a face full of coldness and beauty.

Inside the room, Lu Miaohuan smashed a vase in frustration, and only calmed down after smashing several vase ornaments.

“Tell me, is this Lu Changsheng deliberately humiliating me because of what happened back then!?”

Lu Miaohuan suddenly raised her head and looked at his personal maid Kui Si with red eyes.

After leaving the Bamboo Heart Pavilion earlier, she had calmed down a bit and thought about giving Lu Changsheng another chance.

As long as Lu Changsheng was willing to come and apologize to her, she was still willing to marry him.

But she didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to reject her outright.

And two days later, he was already engaged to the fourth elder’s granddaughter, her clan sister.

This made her, who was proud, feel humiliated.

“Miss, how could that be?”

The maid Kui Si spoke cautiously, “Lu Changsheng probably hasn’t had time to realize Miss’s feelings.”

“I heard that the reason Lu Changsheng didn’t agree is because he feels he’s not worthy of you, Miss. He still wants to marry several wives and have many children, so he chose Miss Miaoyun.”

Of course, Lu Miaohuan knew that Lu Changsheng didn’t intentionally humiliate her.

Her father, Lu Yuanding, also came over to comfort her.

But she couldn’t swallow her pride.

Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful eyes were closed, her chest rose and fell proudly, and then she gritted her teeth and said, “Lu Changsheng, I will definitely find a man who is ten times, a hundred times stronger than you to make you regret this!
