Hearing Xu Heng's words, Lu Yufang felt her heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and a layer of sweat formed on the palms of her tightly clasped hands.
Yan's mother suddenly stood up from her seat, pointed at Xu Heng and angrily said:
"Mr. Xu, although you are the son of Mr. Xu, you can't bully people like this. The person you are seeing Miss Lu today is our son. If you just barged in like this, what's the difference between you and trying to steal someone's marriage?"
"Besides, we hired a matchmaker and both parents agreed. Do Yuanwai Xu and Mrs. Xu know that you are acting like this?"
Ziyi used to be sexually promiscuous, and no one in the town with similar conditions to his own was willing to marry a girl to his family. Now that he had finally found a potential one, he couldn't let Xu Heng do anything wrong.
Yan's mother's words silenced Lu Shoucheng's family of three.
Indeed, Xu Heng represents himself, not the Xu family.
If Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu disagree, no matter how good Xu Heng is, it will be in vain.
Therefore, even if Yufang does not marry into the Yan family today, they cannot easily agree to Xu Heng, lest they end up making people laugh. They don't want others to poke their own backbone and make fun of their daughter for climbing a high tree.
Just when Xu Heng was thinking about how to answer, the courtyard door was pushed open.
"What my son means is what I mean!"
After the words fell, Mrs. Xu led Nanny Qian and several servants into the hall. She looked directly in the direction of Yan's mother.
"Besides, Mrs. Yan's words are a bit serious. Now the Young Master of the Yan family and the girl of the Lu family are just looking at each other. They haven't made a decision, haven't exchanged wedding invitations, and haven't even written their horoscopes yet. How can they be considered as stealing someone's marriage?"
"Besides, if the two of them are deeply married, how can they be snatched away so easily?"
Xu Heng looked at his mother, with a look of surprise and surprise on his face. Doesn't his mother object to him and Miss Lu?
"mother……"
Mrs. Xu raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
Looking at Mrs. Xu who stormed into the house aggressively, Yan's mother and Yan Shitao looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
A small family like them only valued Lu Yufang because of her potential.
The Xu family's family fortune is much larger than our own, so they can actually agree to Xu Heng marrying a peasant girl?
Yan Shitao has opened an inn in the town for so many years, so he is not someone who has never seen the world.
He stood up and looked straight at Mrs. Xu.
"Mrs. Xu, do you want to bully the weak and bully a small family like us?"
Mrs. Xu covered her mouth and smiled.
"What did Mr. Yan say? Which of your eyes saw my wife bullying others? It's just that this girl from the Lu family is pleasing to others, so I'm here to fight for a chance for my son. Since Mrs. Yan just said it was first come, first served, Then you guys talk first, and I'll line up next to you, so I won't be bullying you, right?"
Mrs. Xu led the people to stand aside, her face full of confidence.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is better between their son and Yan Zichu. If the Lu family still chooses Yan Zichu in the end, it only means that there is something wrong with their eyes, and it doesn't matter whether they are close or not.
Lu Yufang looked in the direction of Mrs. Xu with surprise on her face.
When he saw the loving smile on her face looking at him, a blush appeared on his face unconsciously.
She had avoided Xu Heng and deliberately suppressed her feelings because she was afraid that the Xu family would look down on her. Now that Xu Heng had moved Mrs. Xu here, her inner defenses were completely removed.
He and Mrs. Xu have already reached this point, what else do they have to be afraid of?
Yan Shitao and Yan's mother saw that Mrs. Xu had already talked about this, so they couldn't find fault with her anymore.
"My father-in-law, look..."
Lu Shoucheng didn't say anything, but Jiang Xiuqin on the side smiled euphemistically and said, "Our two families haven't finalized the engagement yet. Master Yan should stop calling me husband-in-law like this to avoid misunderstandings."
Seeing Jiang Xiuqin say this, Yan Shitao's expression froze.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Yan's mother's eyes.
"Now that you and your wife have seen Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, you don't look down on a small family like ours?"
Jiang Xiuqin hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Lin, we definitely didn't mean this, and we never thought about letting my Yufang get into a wealthy family. It's just a matter of marriage, which is about fate, and it is related to my daughter's lifelong happiness. Our control is important, but the key is to look at the children’s opinions.”
Yan's mother looked in the direction of Yan Shitao, then turned to Jiang Xiuqin.
"The opinions of children are of course important, but matters of marriage have always been dictated by parents and matchmakers, so why should children make their own decisions? Isn't this nonsense?"
Originally Yan Zichu was not very interested in Lu Yufang, but he was just watching each other here due to the pressure from his family.
Now that he saw Xu Heng coming to disturb him, he began to carefully look at the girl sitting opposite.
After taking a look, I realized that although the appearance of the girl in front of me was not amazing, she was also the type of Xiaojiabiyu.
If she dresses up a little, she won't be any worse than those girls from wealthy families.
He sat up straight and looked at Lu Yufang opposite with a serious face.
"Miss Lu, what do you think of me?"
Suddenly being asked, Lu Yufang raised her eyes and looked at Yan Ziyi, a trace of trance flashed in her eyes. When they were on the carriage before, Xu Heng had asked her the same question, but she was prevaricated at that time.
Xu Heng's eyes flashed slightly and he felt a little nervous. He didn't know what kind of answer Lu Yufang would give Yan Ziyi.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Yufang lowered her head and said, "Young Master Yan is so talented that there are many girls who would like to admire you."
Her expression just now made Yan Ziyi think that she was marveling at his handsomeness. Looking at her shy look, his vanity was satisfied like never before.
Yan Zichu glanced in Xu Heng's direction with a slightly arrogant look.
"That's natural. I used to..."
When he was about to say something, Yan's mother stopped him with two fake coughs.
She looked at Lu Yufang with a smile, "Miss Lu, since you think my wife is a good child, how about we decide on the marriage today?"
Lu Yufang had a low eyebrow and seemed to be very talkative. If she nodded, the Lu family would naturally have nothing to object to.
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall became quiet.
Xu Heng's fists under his sleeves were slightly tightened, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Yufang, fearing that she would just nod in agreement with Yan's mother's suggestion.
Although Lu Yufang was nervous in her heart, she still had the courage to nod slightly in the direction of Yan's mother.
"Although Mr. Yan is good, he is not what I want in my heart. I hope Mrs. Yan and Mr. Yan can forgive me."
Jiang Xiuqin and Lu Shoucheng on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xu looked at Lu Yufang with admiration in her eyes. This girl had a temperament that dared to love and hate, and would not let anyone rub her into a round shape.
But Yan Ziyi seemed unconvinced, looking at Lu Yufang with a trace of anger on his face.
"Then who is your wish?" He said, pointing at Xu Heng standing aside, "Is it him?"
