The man spoke first.

The words were calm, without any fluctuation, but with a somewhat invisible sense of oppression.

"It's me." Lu Chen nodded.

"My name is Cao Guan, and I am Concubine Cao Xuan's father." The man cut straight to the point.

"It turns out it's Uncle Cao. Can you please come in?" Lu Chen smiled slightly and immediately extended his hand to invite me.

From the moment he saw Chen Shuang, he guessed the identity of the other party.

"No, I came here today to say a few words to you."

Cao Guan said indifferently: "Concubine Xuan is already engaged to someone, and at the end of this month, she will get married smoothly, so I hope you don't see my daughter again."

"marriage?"

Lu Chen frowned: "Why didn't she tell me?"

"So what if I tell you? This is the decision of the two families, and no one can change it."

Cao Guan remained expressionless: "Young man, I don't know if you really like my daughter or if you are interested in her family background. These are not important. In a word, stay away from my daughter."

As he spoke, he made a gesture.

Soon, several bodyguards walked into the yard carrying two large boxes.

When I opened it, I found two boxes of gold inside!

"Young man, these golds are my gift to you. Take them and leave the provincial capital. From now on, don't appear in front of my daughter." Cao Guan said.

"Gold is indeed tempting, but I don't like it. So I can't accept the conditions you just put forward." Lu Chen shook his head.

"If you don't like gold, then why don't you give me a price?" Cao Guan raised his chin.

"Uncle Cao, with all due respect, Concubine Xuan should decide on matters of marriage. As elders, you should not forcefully interfere," Lu Chen said.

"Um?"

Cao Guan raised his left eyebrow: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Lu Chen was neither humble nor arrogant: "As parents, shouldn't you want your children to have a happy marriage?"

"Hmph! What do you know?"

At this time, Chen Shuang next to her finally couldn't help it anymore: "Do you know who Concubine Xuan's fianc� is? That is Shangguan Hong, a born general! The new star of the Dragon Kingdom in the future! Only marrying him is the best thing for Concubine Xuan home!"

"It's up to Concubine Xuan to decide whether it's good or not. If she doesn't want to marry, you can't force her." Lu Chen argued with reason.

"Do you mean to challenge the authority of my Cao family?" Cao Guan looked a little unkind.

"Uncle Cao, I don't want to be an enemy of the Cao family, but for Concubine Xuan, I am willing to take this risk. I still say that as long as she is unwilling to marry, no one can force her!" Lu Chen's tone became stronger. .

"Hmph! What a crazy boy!"

Cao Guan's eyes turned cold: "For Concubine Xuan's sake, I will tell you all the good things I can say. If you insist on persisting, then don't blame me for turning against you!" JrNovels.com
