People spoke one after another, each contributing their own thoughts.
She spoke with a serious tone, implying a moral high ground.
Then, Chang Xin then put his hands together in a martial salute, slightly bowing towards Liang Yu.
Liang Yu's face turned even redder, then pale, and her body began to tremble.
"Impossible!"
"I absolutely refuse to believe that!" Liang Yu gritted her teeth, her eyebrows almost standing on end.
"Dad, are you selling your daughter!?" She turned her head, her eyes red, and tears welled up instantly.
"This... how can it be considered selling your daughter?" Liang Jie Shi coughed and said: "Xiao Yu, your personality is too self-centered and domineering. You yourself should be clear that each family has its own path. It's difficult for everything to be done according to one's heart's desire. Just like your friend Huayanfei's family, the Huayan family also has an affinity with the Zhou family. Everyone in the family spoils you and lets you act impulsively once, but you cannot act impulsively twice."
"Moreover, Chang Xin is a collateral, and with the birth of an heir, he will bear the surname of Liang. He is essentially part of the Liang family. This has nothing to do with selling a daughter. To be honest, it would be more accurate to say that Chang Xin has fallen in love with you at first sight and sold himself to our Liang family!"
Liang Jie Shi's words were resolute and forceful.
"This is all what? I see that you are all driven by greed!" Liang Yu felt a sense of helplessness and tears in her eyes. She turned around and walked in another direction.
Liang Jie Shi slightly sidestepped and blocked her path.
"Hey, Luo Xian Shen!" Liang Yu hurriedly exclaimed, her eyes narrowing at me, "Are you just watching? They're almost selling me!"
Liang Yu's words made me feel dilemma.
If I'm not looking, what else can I do?
Chang Xin's intention was quite unexpected; it wasn't revenge, but rather a request to become a collateral...
She came with a lot of household items and even willing to offer up inheritance, giving the Liang family a chance for significant change.
I went up to say no?
There's no such logic.
Chang Xin's face remained unchanged, but I felt a cold energy locking me in.
"Xiao Yu! This is even more ridiculous. Luo Xiancousin and Huayanfei have such a relationship. You've told me that their marriage requires a heavy gift from Liang family. What are you asking Luo Xiancousin to do? You're being impulsive and dragging him into it?"
Liang Jie Shi's tone was much heavier, clearly indicating that he was angry.
He then smiled at me kindly, "Luo Xiancousin, go rest in the rear garden first. This is Liang family business."
Subconsciously, I could feel that most of the Liang family members were wary of me.
I can kill Li Kun and am fatefully incompatible with the Liang family, so they naturally dare not offend me.
At this moment, Liang Yu suddenly twisted her body, her speed was incredible, and she dodged Li Jie Shi to walk to my side.
She gripped my arm tightly with one hand, her face still red, and she looked fierce.
"Who said that!? What do you mean by involving him!? It's what century is this? I'll tell you honestly, I like Huayanfei, and I love the person I love, even to the birds and beasts. Haven't you ever heard of having multiple wives and concubines!?"
I immediately changed my expression, trying to break free from Liang Yu's grip.
Liang Yu looked at me with pleading eyes, her teeth clenched tightly, and whispered: "If you don't take me out of Liang family, I will be forced to my death. Look at whether Huayanfei will forgive you! Who else can speak for you?"
She leaned in even closer, nearly clinging to me.
"You have so many secrets!"
Two sentences, with voice as weak as a mosquito's whimper, only I could hear.
The pleading was genuine and heartfelt, but the threat in the last sentence was rather faint.
It's obvious that Liang Yu is panicked to the extreme, and she just says whatever she can think of.
But for me, Liang Yu's words truly hit the mark on what I was pondering.
Without Liang Yu's support, can you blame me at least a little? If there were no one from the Liang family to back her up, Huayanfei might not even have a reason to talk to me openly...
She's too smart, and therefore her understanding is relatively certain.
With just one blink, the looks in everyone's eyes at Liang family were all different.
Annoyed, anxious, and shocked, especially Liang Jie Shi, who tightly clutched his chest as if he had been blown up by anger.
Liang Yu's eyes changed quickly.
I didn't refute her, which gave her a little more joy.
After that, she didn't let go of my arm, acting like a victorious rooster, with a huff.
Chang Xin's eyes looked at me firstly, becoming cold, and then, carrying a hint of something thoughtful.
Instead of showing anger, he spoke first.
"My late grandfather once said that in this chaotic world, the blooming flowers are so enticing that they can blur one's eyes. There's no such thing as having multiple wives and concubines. Even if there is, it's all false."
"Also, Luo Brother, we may not have faced off before, but I know you are also a great hero. Since you have already found a woman you like, why should you ask for another?"
"Liang family patriarch, I believe Miss Liang will be clear-minded. This matter, I can pretend it never happened."
Three sentences, the first one was to Liang Yu, the second was aimed at me, and the third was an explanation to Liang Jie Shi about his willingness to retreat.
This Chang Xin... she not only has the ability to endure, but her mental abilities are also extraordinary!
For a moment, my apprehension towards him grew tenfold.
There's also the most crucial point.
Is there really such a thing as "first sight"?
This could happen to an inexperienced teenager.
It wouldn't be normal for it to happen to Chang Xin.
Especially what Liang Yu said, no man with some ability could bear it, but he has to bear it!
There must be something fishy here!
All of a sudden, I thought of Sun Zhuo again.
Huayanfei, Xu Nuan, were both "used" by Sun Zhuo, even being cleaned out.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Liang Jie Shi's expression was much better. His gaze at me was awkward, while the others were unpredictable, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
They all believed what Liang Yu said.
"As such... then please Luo Xiancousin temporarily leave... " Liang Jie Shi just opened his mouth.
I cut him off, looking at Chang Xin and saying, "Liang Yu's mention of having multiple wives and concubines is just out of anxiety; it's not to be taken seriously. There is no such thing."
Chang Xin's expression didn't change.
Liang family members breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Yu was taken aback and gave my arm a hard twist.
I didn't pay attention to Liang Yu and slightly narrowed my eyes and said, "Brother Chang is a wise man with shining eyes. It must be you who saw something in yourself, so you naturally say that you don't mind."
"I would like to ask Brother Chang a few questions. Since you have an illustrious lineage and a distinguished position, why are you staying in that tiny village, where the snake plague is so severe that people dare not even mention it."
"Is your late grandfather the body wrapped in snake skins, yes, one that was born together with snakes?"
"First sight, even with the heavy gift, just to keep the collateral and become a collateral of the Liang family, and even to pay for the inheritance of the Liang family."
"Luo might have become a bit cold and hard, it's really not that easy to give out. Brother Chang is much more effortless."
"But Brother Chang should not have told the patriarch of Liang family that you were not in such a demeanor last night."
"You said to Liang Yu, 'let her stay. She has a unique charm, and it's your good fortune to keep her here.'"
"I killed a lot of snakes before I learned Daoism, I peeled their skins and made them into willow belts. I know that snakes are very sexual. I want to ask you, is your affection for her because she has something good about her?"
"No, there are definitely benefits. You and the Yin-Yang master behind you must be planning something against the Liang family? Or do you want to slowly control the Liang family? That's quite a loud abacus bead, getting a beautiful woman and changing your place of residence. From being talked about in fear by everyone to becoming the son-in-law of the Liang family, it can't be said that Luo is not impressed!"
