Meng Yulou suddenly stood up and left. Aunt Yang was a little unhappy. She turned to High Scholar Shang and smiled again."Young Master Shang, what do you think of her?”
High Scholar Shang nodded and said,"I'm very satisfied. It's like a fairy descending to the mortal world." I've decided. This marriage is settled.”
He rubbed his hands together and felt a little restless. He was really too excited.
He had thought that with Aunt Yang and Zhang Fourth Uncle as the guarantor, the two of them would try their best to matchmake him. As long as he nodded, the marriage would be settled.
The thought of being able to marry such a beautiful woman made him extremely excited.
High Scholar Shang was a poor scholar from Qinghe County. He was almost forty years old and did not have much property. He had a wife who died of illness.
Suddenly, there was a pie in the sky. Someone wanted to arrange a marriage for him. Not only did he not need to pay the betrothal gift, but the Yang family was also willing to pay a sum of money. Where could he find such a good thing?
He had originally thought that as long as the woman was not too ugly, she would agree to this marriage. In the end, today, she was actually a beautiful woman like a flower. Such a good thing was really impossible to find even if one held a lantern.
High Scholar Shang left in satisfaction, waiting for Meng Yulou to marry him.
High Scholar Shang had already agreed that as long as Meng Yulou agreed, the marriage would be settled.
Aunt Yang found Meng Yulou and praised the merits of being a High Scholar. She was hoping that Meng Yulou would marry her so that she could get a sum of money.
"Aunt, I've already said that I won't marry her. You don't have to say it anymore."”
Aunt Yang said,"High Scholar Shang has such good conditions. Don't you even like him?" He was a scholar and had passed the imperial examinations. Although he was not good-looking, what was the use of being good-looking? It's already good enough that you found High Scholar Shang. You should feel lucky that he took a fancy to you.”
Meng Yulou's expression turned cold." I don't need him to fancy me. I don't feel lucky either.”
She turned around and left. Behind her, Aunt Yang raised her voice."Why do you have such high requirements? You're a widow, so why do you have so many requirements? You don't even like the High Scholar, so what else do you want?”
Meng Yulou stopped in his tracks and sneered,"Auntie, if you're so keen on finding a partner for others, why don't you find one for yourself? Aren't you a widow who's been staying by your side for decades?”
Aunt Yang's expression changed when she felt the pain.
However, Meng Yulou didn't have the heart to continue talking to him, and had already walked away quickly.
Now, she was extremely disappointed in her husband's family.
Of course, Meng Yulou was determined not to marry High Scholar Shang, but how could he stand Aunt Yang and Fourth Uncle Zhang's matchmaking? Without her consent, he had already found a matchmaker and officially started to choose a date.
Although there was a saying,"Marry from your father for the first time, and remarry is up to you."”
No one could interfere if she wanted to remarry, but she was a woman after all, and she had a lot of powerlessness in this matter.
If Aunt Yang and Zhang Fourth Uncle really carried her to Shangju's house in a small sedan chair, how could she resist?
Moreover, the neighbors were gossiping. Even if she had never agreed to marry, if others said it, it might be said that she, a widow, had the idea first.
Xiu-Er said," They're too much of a bully. Madam, you didn't agree to it. How can they make their own decisions?" These people were really thinking about something.”
Meng Yulou's face was somewhat pale as he said,"They're just interested in the assets in my hands. That's why they can't wait for me to marry someone and leave the money to them. Hmph, even if I really get married, they won't let me leave my money to them.”
Xiu-Er said," Then Madam, you're not really going to marry that High Scholar Shang, are you? She's just a toad. How can she be worthy of eating swan meat?"”
"Of course I don't want to get married," Meng Yulou said."But Aunt and Fourth Uncle kept forcing me, so what should I do?" It was impossible to make the two of them change their minds unless High Scholar Shang went back on his word. Then, this matter would be over.”
Xiu-Er said," That High Scholar Shang is eagerly waiting for you to marry him. Didn't you see how drooling he was when he saw you? How could he go back on his word?"”
Meng Yulou thought to himself, Should I ask him for help?
Unknowingly, she thought of Lu Yuanfei again. She really didn't know many people and couldn't think of anyone who could help her. She couldn't help but think of Lu Yuanfei again.
Perhaps he had a way.
But why would he help her?
"Xiu-Er, help me comb my hair. We'll go find someone later.”
"Oh." Xiu-Er quickly got busy.
Meng Yulou looked at himself in the mirror. Although his condition was a little bad, his appearance did not diminish at all.
