"Didn't you previously not want to discuss marriage? Could it be you've met a suitable match?"
"Not exactly." Lu Sangqi furrowed his brow in distress, "I'm already nineteen turning twenty this year. Before, my grandfather helped to fend off people from the Prefectural City, but now it's different; even he has started urging me to get married."
"That's one thing, but people from the Prefectural City are even thinking of arranging a marriage for me. That woman actually wants me to marry her niece from her maternal family. Do they really think I'm still that easily bullied child?" Lu Sangqi snorted, dismissive of his stepmother's actions.
Ye Muyu had also heard about Lu Sangqi's family affairs and thought, as the saying goes, "With a stepmother comes a stepfather," and it's quite true.
The fact that Lu Sangqi has stayed away all these years is largely due to his relationship with this stepmother.
