Chapter 115 – Marriage is Not for ! (2)
Back at the Lu mansion, Ye Zhen was called over by Lu Shiming just after she got off the carriage.
Disclair: To avoid our translations from being shut down, DO NOT repost our works on ANY social dia, otherwise we will be forced to shut down.
Ye Zhen guessed that it must have sothing to do with Xu Lao. He ca to Lu Shiming’s study with a face of nervousness. In addition to Lu Shiming, Lu Lingzhi was there.
“Father, you wanted to see ?” Ye Zhen’s expression was uneasy, but her tone was light.
Lu Shiming beckoned her to co closer. “Where have you been that you ca back just now?”
“I bought my favorite snacks and the best rouge in capital for my mother. Father, the capital is wonderful. It is much more lively than the Border town. I also went to the east side. The houses over there are so beautiful.” Ye Zhen said smilingly and directly sat down beside Lu Shiming.
“Just bought for your mother? What about ? ” Lu Shiming pretended to ask crossly.
Ye Zhen cocked her head and said sheepishly, “I couldn’t decide what to give you. I’ll buy you a present when I have the chance next ti.”
Lu Lingzhi looked at her with a smile and thought that the sister was really adorable and lovely, but she seed congenial only to others. To him, Yao Yao never seed to be coquettish with him. “How did you think about going to the East Side?”
“I want to see all the places I haven’t been to.” Ye Zhen said.
“Then why don’t you want to be Xu Lao’s student?” Lu Shiming asked.
Sure enough, he would ask this! Her eyes, which grew darker, darted towards Lu Lingzhi.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips, “What can Xu Lao teach ? If I beco his student, I can no longer take the Won’s College exam! I’m not interested in playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. Father, you know, I have to go to the dical center to learn sothing useful. I don’t care about anything else.”
“What are you talking about? It’s no use learning from those. How many girls in the capital would like to be Xu Lao’s student? You are really...” Lu Shiming looked angry with his daughter for wasting a great opportunity.
Lu Lingzhi was quick to persuade her even further.
“If you beco a student of Xu Lao, you would have a better reputation in the capital. It would be best for you. Even if you don’t go to the dical school, it’s alright. Now, daughters of the Lu family can have a good future without going to the Won’s College.”
“What good future?” Ye Zhen asked with injustice. “Eldest brother, tell , am I only supposed to marry a man of good family and character in the future? I never worried about getting married. Besides, I have long set my eyes on the Won’s College.”
Lu Shiming felt an itch in his hand and could not help but give her a little scolding. “Yao Yao, what are you talking about? You will beco of age; you can’t forever avoid thinking about it!”
Playing the daughter’s card, she willed herself to tear up.
“I am just telling the truth, father. This must have been eldest brother’s idea.” Ye Zhen cried in pretense. “Anyway, I’m going to take the entrance examination tomorrow. Whether or not I can get in depends on my fate. What are you worried about? Let’s just see if I get in or not.”
Lu Shiming shook his head and glanced to Lu Lingzhi, “Your sister...tsk tsk. I swear, she could kill people with her temper!”
“That’s enough for today, third sister.” Lu Lingzhi comforted her.
Ye Zhen wiped the tear that fell to her lips. “Father, if you have nothing else to say, then I’ll go and see Mother first.”
“Go, go!” Lu Shiming didn’t have the spirit to comfort his daughter at this ti.
