Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2162: Expressing Love at the Same Time

Seeing that the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Shangguan Chu lowered his head and was about to dig a hole in the ground to crawl into. At the critical moment, Wan Shufang appeared in time and pulled the two apart.

She glanced at the three of them, guessed something, and couldn't help but sigh: "You three are not children anymore. If you have anything to say, why don't you find a quiet place and have a good talk."

"Don't make a fool of yourself." Wan Shufang remained calm and glanced around.

Xiao Jingheng and Liu Mochen were smart people. They understood what was going on instantly, so they let go and followed Wan Shufang away.

After a few people left, the others saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they all went back to review their books. On the other hand, Wan Shufang took the three of them to her own courtyard.

She sat aside and tapped her fingers: "I won't listen to your conversation, go over there by yourself."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at another stone table in the yard, nodded slightly, and walked over. As soon as they sat down, Liu Mochen became impatient and took out the Liu family heirloom.

"Ah Chu, I really like you, and I'm not just having fun. This is my Liu family's heirloom jade bracelet, I'm giving it to you."

"Achu, I mean it too." Xiao Jingheng regretted being a step slower and not wanting to be outdone, he also took out a small box.

What's inside is also the Xiao family heirloom.

Although the Xiao family and the Liu family looked down on Shangguan Chu's family background, they did not dare to offend Wan Shufang, the powerful force of the Duke's Mansion, because Shangguan Chu was behind him. Therefore, when the two children asked for the heirlooms, they gave them away readily.

But facing the two people who were eager to express their love, Shangguan Chu had a calm expression and gently pushed the box back: "Liu Mochen, Xiao Jingheng, I will not marry either of you."

"I just want to learn knowledge and improve my abilities. I don't want to talk about marriage. Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise, we won't even be friends." Shangguan Chu's words directly blocked the two people's retreat.

She does not want to be married, not now, not in the future.

Seeing the desolation on their faces, Shangguan Chu suppressed the softness in her heart, stood up and left. Watching her walk away, Xiao Jingheng and Liu Mochen felt disappointed, but they were unwilling to continue forcing it.

Now that they knew her wish, they were willing to support her.

At the same time, Shangshu Mansion.

After Chen Luoluo was taken back by his parents, he was locked up in the ancestral hall and punished by the family law.

She was covered in scars and was in a daze. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. The door of the ancestral hall was suddenly opened, and the Shangshu's wife walked in. She looked down at Chen Luoluo like a dead dog.

“Mom…” Chen Luoluo spoke weakly and tried to pull her skirt, but she dodged him with a look of disgust on her face.

"Don't touch me. I don't have a daughter as shameless as you." The Shangshu's wife snorted coldly and waved her hand. Someone immediately came to dress Chen Luoluo and change her clothes.

In front of all the servants, Chen Luoluo was dragged out, stripped naked, and washed in the yard. She could not resist and could only allow herself to be humiliated, crying uncontrollably.

"Mom, no matter what, I am still your daughter. Do you have to humiliate me like this?"

"My father won't agree!"

"Oh, Chen Luoluo, do you really think you are the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion? You have done such a dirty thing and brought shame to the family. Your father has long since stopped caring about you."

As she said this, the Shangshu's wife gave a look, and the maids and old women became even more brutal, scrubbing Chen Luoluo. She had injuries on her body, and this torture made her cry out in pain.

Her crying and shouting did not attract anyone, so she could only bear it. After she finished washing and dressing, she saw the maids and old women helping her to dress up and put on her wedding dress.

The moment she put on the wedding dress, Chen Luoluo was completely panicked.

"Mother, why, why did you make me wear wedding clothes? I... I'm not engaged yet..."

"Engagement? You want to get engaged with your unclean body?" The Shangshu's wife couldn't help laughing and poked her forehead with her sharp nails: "Chen Luoluo, wake up. If it weren't for the Shangshu Mansion, you would be drowned in a pig cage now."

"The master has betrothed you to Mr. Li, a wealthy businessman in the north of the city. Marry him and live a good life."

Hearing this, Chen Luoluo's pupils shrank suddenly, her face was full of disbelief, she was very resistant, and shook off the hand of the maid: "Mother, Master Li from the north of the city, that is an old and lame man..."

"What's wrong with being old and lame? You still want to marry a royal relative in this state?"

The Shangshu's wife rolled her eyes, impatient to argue with her any further, and waved her hand and ordered, "Take the young lady to the bridal sedan and carry it over to Master Li."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servant immediately took the order and escorted Chen Luoluo to the bridal sedan.

But how could Chen Luoluo agree?

Forcing her to marry an old cripple was simply the end of her life. She was extremely unwilling and made a big fuss, which finally alarmed the Shangshu.

Looking at the crazy Chen Luoluo, the Shangshu's eyes were full of disgust, and he said in a cold voice: "If the young lady doesn't want to get married, you will be punished by the family rules."

"Beat her until she wants to get married, then beat her to death and drag her to a mass grave."

After these words were spoken, Chen Luoluo suddenly became quiet, staring blankly at the two people in front of him who were dressed in luxurious clothes.

Her biological parents treated her like this...

If she doesn't marry the cripple, I will kill her...

Seeing the servant coming over with the family rules, Chen Luoluo stopped resisting and got into the bridal sedan obediently. When the curtain was lowered, the hatred in her eyes could no longer be concealed and burst out.

But no one cares.

The bridal sedan was sent to Mr. Li's house with music and dance all the way.

Sitting on the wedding bed, Chen Luoluo was filled with resentment. When Master Li came back to the room drunk, she picked up the candlestick and knocked him unconscious.

"You dead cripple, you still want to marry me? Dream on!" Chen Luoluo cursed with gritted teeth, and kicked Master Li hard. Then she hurriedly took off her wedding dress, disguised herself as a maid and escaped.

The night was peaceful, but there was a hidden crisis.

Early the next morning.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang came to the county magistrate's mansion again and confirmed that the county magistrate was in good health. The two were ready to leave and said goodbye to the county magistrate. The county magistrate was surprised and quickly sent someone to notify Shangguan Chu.

Shangguan Chu heard that the two were leaving, and hurried back. He tugged at Wan Shufang's sleeve pitifully, and was very reluctant to let her go: "Madam, are you leaving now?"

"I won't stay for a few more days. I want to thank you very much."

The crisis of the Shangguan family and the women's courtyard were all thanks to Wan Shufang. She was able to overcome the difficulties and had such good resources.

"Achu, we've been here for a long time. It's time to leave." Seeing Wan Shufang nod with a firm expression, Shangguan Chu's face suddenly became lost.

But soon, she picked herself up and volunteered to treat the two of them to dinner.

"In that case, let me treat you to a meal tonight, just to express my gratitude and to send you off, sir."

Hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other, shook their heads at the same time, and politely declined.

"No need, A-Chu."

"It is normal to help others when seeing injustice. If it were anyone else, we would not stand idly by."
