The Second Old Grand Master shook his head in denial without thinking: "Impossible. Even if Miss Lian were Zhou Xi’s own daughter, he wouldn’t expose his carefully placed spies for one person." The Second Old Grand Master had dealings with Zhou Xi a few tis and had a fair understanding of his behavior, and he was quite sure that Zhou Xi was not soone who was driven by emotional entanglents.
An Zhichen pondered for a long ti, finally looking at the Second Old Grand Master: "This matter has already alard the Emperor; do you think it could be soone from the Imperial Court?" Only soone from the court could have found out where Yueyao was being hidden in such a short ti.
The Second Old Grand Master still shook his head: "It couldn’t be the Emperor. The Marquis did not say that Zhou Shu was the mastermind, and even the Third Miss of the Lian Family doesn’t have such great influence." The reason the Emperor paid special attention to this matter was not because Yueyao was outstanding, but because the incident was so outrageous that it enraged the Emperor. Such things happening under the feet of the Emperor would signify utter disregard for the law.
An Zhichen couldn’t figure out who sent the ssage, but undeniably, this person was certainly soone related to Yueyao.
What An Zhichen could think of, the Second Old Grand Master was not oblivious to. The Second Old Master said solemnly: "Chenchen, what kind of person do you think Third Miss Lian is?" The Second Old Grand Master felt that Yueyao was not a simple person.
The Second Old Grand Master’s conclusion was not only based on the ssaging event but also on Luo Shao’s high regard for Yueyao. A person who was treated like that by Luo Shao could hardly be ordinary.
An Zhichen had long discovered that Yueyao was more outstanding than he imagined: "Zichang is a very intelligent and brave person."
The Second Old Grand Master chuckled lightly: "I’m afraid that’s not all!" Not only intelligent and brave, but probably a person with deep plans and considerations as well.
An Zhichen wanted to defend Yueyao, but the Second Old Grand Master called out to the outside: "Soone, bring Luo Zhong over here." The An Family’s Second Old Grand Master believed that Luo Zhong might speculate who the ssenger was. Of course, it was definitely not soone from Marquis Jingning’s Residence.
An Zhichen actually also felt that Luo Zhong might have an idea who it was: "Can you now tell and Elder Uncle, who sent the ssage?"
Luo Zhong shook his head and said: "I don’t know. But before I ca, the Marquis said that maybe soone would help in Haikou."
The Second Old Grand Master showed a puzzled expression. Luo Shao saying ’maybe soone will help’ ant that Luo Shao himself wasn’t sure whether anyone would help at all.
Luo Zhong, seeing the puzzlent on their faces, said: "Actually, if you want to know, Great Grandfather and Young Master Chen can just directly ask Miss Lian. I believe Miss Lian knows everything."
The Second Old Grand Master certainly wouldn’t ask, and imdiately changed the topic: "Chenchen, you have done your best by rescuing her, and when you return to the Capital City, you should withdraw from this engagent. If you can’t find a satisfying engagent in the Capital City, then look in Haikou."
An Zhichen did not get engaged in Haikou, not because the Second Old Grand Master didn’t care, but because An Zhichen himself was unwilling. He just hadn’t t anyone who captured his heart, and the Second Old Grand Master couldn’t oppose him, so he let him be. But now intervention was necessary.
An Zhichen said decisively: "Elder Uncle, I will not withdraw from the engagent. Once this matter is over, I will return to the Capital City and complete the wedding with her."
The Second Old Grand Master’s face darkened, saying: "From the Capital City to Haikou is more than two months, and she also stayed in Haikou for several days, her purity is long gone? How can such a woman be married as a wife? Do you want to be a laughingstock?" Originally, the Second Old Grand Master saw that his grandnephew was so fond and thought letting Yueyao be a concubine would be fine. But seeing the woman’s thods now, she certainly couldn’t be a concubine, or there would be no peace at ho.
An Zhichen was firm: "Elder Uncle, I will not withdraw from the engagent."
The Second Old Master assertively said: "Even if you’re not concerned about her no longer being pure, there’s no airtight wall in the world, and when this matter spreads, how will you face the rumors? Other matters can be ignored, but this kind is not a child’s play."
Luo Zhong interjected: "Second Old Grand Master, Young Master Chen, although Miss Lian has been missing for more than two months, I can assure you, Miss Lian is absolutely pure."
An Zhichen was shocked.
The Second Old Grand Master looked sternly: "How do you know?" How would Luo Zhong know if a woman is pure? This is too strange.
Luo Zhong hurriedly said: "The Old Grand Master doesn’t know, Miss Lian is a proud and ambitious person. If sothing really happened, she wouldn’t be this calm." No matter how strong the psychological quality, losing one’s purity wouldn’t result in such a tranquil deanor.
