The patriarch's wife sighed. Tired, mentally tired! Why don't we forget about this matter?
She didn't have much confidence after failing for so long.
However, Mrs. Lu wasn't willing.
She was also distraught and depressed, but at the thought that she could have a fortune if she worked harder, she felt that she could do it again.
Mrs. Lu's family was having a banquet. As the patriarch's wife, she asked her two sons to go and bring Zhao Shu along.
But Zhao Shu refused to go no matter what.
With utmost transparency, Zhao Shu addressed his two cousins, "I've heard numerous baseless rumors about my supposed intention to marry Miss Lu. It's absolute nonsense! I can't risk attending the Lu family's event; those rumors might resurface. I wouldn't want to jeopardize Miss Lu's reputation—I'd be terribly embarrassed."
