Chapter 138: Lu Yi
Zhan Shuo actually lied!
In fact, there was no childhood sweetheart relationship between Zhan Shixuan and Lin Wan'er, and they had never even met.
After Zhan Shuo returned home with peace of mind, he walked into Zhan Shixuan's room and said to him, "Master Mingzheng said that the only way to cure your injuries is to use a wedding. So Daddy specially chose Lin Wan'er, the cousin of the Lin family, as your wife."
Hearing this, Zhan Shixuan was startled like a frightened carp. He suddenly jumped up from the bed and shouted loudly: "Dad, I have made it very clear before. I only want Lu Yi to be my wife. I will not consider other women!"
Zhan Shuo frowned and asked sternly, "Ah Xuan, aren't your injuries serious enough?"
Zhan Shixuan answered without hesitation: "Yes, I have always pretended to be seriously injured. Because I will never marry any other woman except Lu Yi!"
Zhan Shuo was immediately enraged and shouted angrily: "What is so good about Lu Yi that makes you so persistent? You must marry her!" "No matter what you say, I will not change my mind." Zhan Shixuan said firmly.
Zhan Shuo was so angry that he was shaking. He pointed at Zhan Shixuan and shouted, "You unfilial son, for a woman, you even dared to contradict your own father!"
After saying that, Zhan Shuo threw his sleeves violently, his face full of anger, and walked out of the room angrily.
Zhan Shixuan lay quietly on the bed with a determined look in his eyes. He vowed secretly that he must find a way to make his father agree to his marriage with Lu Yi no matter what.
Because Zhan Shuo had previously reported to Emperor Tiansheng that he wanted to hold a wedding cleansing for Zhan Shixuan, this matter had to be done. Failure to do so would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
After Zhan Shuo stepped out of Zhan Shixuan's room, he rushed to the Lin family without stopping.
However, when he first mentioned this matter, the Lin family refused without hesitation.
Father Lin said with a serious face: "Cousin, no matter how serious Zhan Shixuan's injury is, he is just a bastard's son after all. How can I let my precious daughter go to bring him happiness!"
Zhan Shuo was immediately furious, but he could not refute that Zhan Shixuan's injuries were not serious, otherwise it might cause Emperor Tiansheng's dissatisfaction with Zhan Shixuan and make him think that he deliberately deceived the emperor.
But faced with such a stubborn father like Lin, Zhan Shuo was helpless and became more and more angry.
After returning home, Zhan Shuo sat on a chair, supporting his chin with his left hand and tapping the table with his right hand from time to time. He pondered for a long time and finally found that it seemed that the only way out was to go to find Lu Chen.
However, what he did not expect was that when he proposed his idea to Lu Chen, the other party rejected it without even thinking about it.
In fact, Lu Chen was already dissatisfied with Zhan Shuo. He looked angry and said indignantly: "Earlier, my daughter married into your Zhan family and suffered from bullying and scolding all day long. She finally managed to escape back to her parents' home. Now you are still dreaming of letting her go back and marry your eldest son who is terminally ill and dying to wash away the bad luck? It's just a foolish dream!"
Zhan Shuo hit such a big snag, and was filled with regret but helpless. He could only sigh deeply and turn back home in disappointment.
At the same time, in another corner, Zhan Shixuan was nervously waiting for his secret guard to bring back news about Lu Chen's opinion on the matter. When he learned about Lu Chen's attitude, he couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought. As time passed, Zhan Shixuan kept pacing in the room, thinking hard, trying to find a way to solve the problem.
"No matter what, I must find a way to get Lu Yi's father to agree to our marriage!" He made up his mind secretly and kept repeating this sentence in his heart, as if this could give him more courage and strength.
At this moment, suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, as dazzling as lightning in the dark night. Zhan Shixuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what to do.
Then, he made a bold decision without hesitation: to quietly leave the mansion at night and go to Lu Mansion to find Lu Yi to discuss countermeasures.
He carefully avoided the guards around the mansion, and with his familiarity with the terrain, he successfully sneaked out of the mansion. Along the way, his heartbeat accelerated, but his steps were extremely firm.
