Chapter 552 My Son Can Marry Into the Family
Shen Ningning hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "Get up, what are you doing!"
They were not really married, so how could Lu Shaoyuan swear for her casually.
Doesn't he care about his own life?
However, Lu Shaoyuan still knelt firmly.
Before Xie Suzhi came to his senses, Mrs. Meng's hearty laughter came from next to her.
"Okay! Kneel well!"
The matchmakers were shocked.
In all her years as a matchmaker, this was the first time she saw the young master kneel down in front of his future father-in-law, and her mother-in-law clapping her hands happily.
It seems that Mrs. Meng is really satisfied with this marriage.
Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "Ning Ning, just ask him to kneel down. If you want me to tell you, if you don't do this, how can you feel our sincerity?"
After saying that, she looked at Xie Suzhi.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, my husband is on official business today and has some difficulties, so he can't come. Otherwise, he would have to accompany us."
"Ning Ning is the child we watched grow up. It is my son's blessing to marry her into our family."
"If the Prime Minister is worried, it's okay for my son to knock on the door. However, Ning Ning's dowry and all the wedding items will be paid for by my Lu family!"
She patted her chest gently with her hand wearing an emerald gem the size of a pigeon egg.
He looked so heroic.
The matchmaker was so stunned that she was speechless.
Originally, she should be the one to guide the two families to get married and make a marriage arrangement.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Meng was so happy that there was no room for her to speak.
Moreover, how much do you really like your daughter-in-law to ask your son to step in the door?
Shen Ningning was very embarrassed and did not dare to raise her head with guilt.
"Aunt Meng..." If she knew that they were fake marriage, how could she be worthy of Mrs. Meng's feelings.
However, in the eyes of everyone, Shen Ningning's appearance was that of a shy little girl.
Xie Suzhi was too embarrassed to stop him.
He pursed his thin lips: "This..."
Lu Shaoyuan said solemnly to Xie Suzhi: "That day, after Ning Ning and I exchanged feelings, I immediately informed my relatives and friends at home."
"Uncle Xie, our Lu family has been loyal for generations. The genealogy of our ancestors for eighteen generations clearly shows that there is no one who has committed any crime."
"I have read poetry and books since I was a child. Although I have some bad habits, I have corrected them all. I don't have any other bad habits. From now on, if Ning Ning marries me, I will obey her in everything."
"If you can't, there will be thunder and lightning!" Lu Shaoyuan shouted loudly.
Shen Ningning was anxious, why did he say he was addicted?
She pushed him: "Stop talking!"
Lu Shaoyuan looked at her eagerly: "I really want to marry you."
"Then don't always swear poisonous oaths." Shen Ningning stared with beautiful eyes, and Lu Shaoyuan bowed his head honestly.
Mrs. Meng, Xie Suzhi and others saw all this.
The matchmaker finally found a chance to speak.
She hurriedly waved the veil and laughed in support.
"Second Master Lu loves Her Royal Highness the Princess so much now and obeys her in everything. After marriage, we will be so harmonious that we can tell a good story together."
Mrs. Meng also snickered: "My silly son made the Prime Minister laugh."
Xie Suzhi was silent for a long time.
"Father..." Xie Mingxu touched his shoulder lightly, hoping that he would not agree in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Xie Suzhi looked at Shen Ningning.
"Ning Ning, daddy wants to ask you, do you really want to marry into the Lu family?"
When Shen Ningning met her father's eyes full of wisdom and depth, her heart suddenly felt as cold as snow falling.
There seemed to be something stuck in her throat, making it difficult to make a sound.
After a long time, she nodded: "Yes."
Xie Mingxu frowned and asked immediately, regardless of the presence of others: "If it is true, why is my sister hesitant?"
Shen Ningning took a deep breath.
Now she has no choice but to try her best to facilitate this matter.
"Brother, it's not that I'm hesitant, I just don't know what appropriate and safe way to use to persuade you and dad to agree to my marriage."
"I have known Lu Shaoyuan since childhood and know his character well. When I said I wanted to marry him, it was a decision made after careful consideration and not an impulse."
Xu Jingxi's doubtful eyes swept back and forth between Lu Shaoyuan and Shen Ningning.
Is it really so?
He still remembered that on Yue Lao Festival, Shen Ningning would avoid even taking a boat with Lu Shaoyuan.
After hearing this, Xie Suzhi became even more silent.
The old father's face was full of helplessness and reluctance.
You have only raised a good daughter by your side for a few years, and now you want to give her away to get married again?
Mr. Xie saw what his brother was thinking.
He took the initiative and said politely to Mrs. Meng: "Since the two children have the same mind, as the elders, we naturally have no reason to stop them."
"It's just that Ning Ning is still young. If she gets married early, my eldest brother will have only such a daughter on his knees. I'm afraid he won't be able to part with her."
"It's better..."
Mrs. Meng quickly replied: "How about letting them return to the Xie family after marriage?"
Mr. Xie was stunned.
Is this okay?
Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Shaoyuan discussed this with me before coming here. He completely respects Ningning's decision."
"After marriage, you don't have to live in your husband's house. You can live wherever you want. I will marry Ningning to four mansions, three villas, and two orchards. It doesn't matter where she likes to live."
Xie Mingxu said coldly: "Is it acceptable to live separately?"
Mrs. Meng was suddenly stunned.
Lu Shaoyuan nodded quickly: "Yes."
Mrs. Meng: ...
This silly son, is he too infatuated?
If the couple does not live together, how can they cultivate feelings, how can they have children and give her good grandchildren!
Shen Ningning knew that if this was true, it would be too disrespectful to Lu Shaoyuan.
How would others laugh at him?
Mrs. Meng and Lu Shaoyuan came with sincerity, and she could not be too demanding.
"How can we live separately after marriage? Since we are married, we are a family." She glanced at Lu Shaoyuan, who was flattered.
Hearing this, Xie Suzhi felt a little pain in his heart.
It seems that his daughter has made up her mind.
"It's come to this, Mrs. Meng, you can send the betrothal gift list another day, we will compare it, prepare a dowry, and remember to send the engagement letter of the second son of the Lu family."
Mrs. Meng was overjoyed: "Bring it today!"
She waved her hand, and the maid immediately came in with a thick booklet.
Xie Suzhi flipped through the pages and took a look. Even though he had been in the officialdom for a long time and had always remained calm, he was still shocked when he saw the betrothal gift list, no, betrothal gift book.
Mrs. Meng's financial resources were really as rich as a country.
The betrothal gifts given to Shen Ningning this time, just for the headdress, were more than a dozen pages.
From small things like the spoons and chopsticks she used for eating to large things like the new bed she bought for her, there were hundreds of various items.
Shen Ningning took a look and her beautiful eyes widened.
She quietly pulled Lu Shaoyuan aside, her voice low and anxious.
"We are a fake marriage, but what Aunt Meng gave is real gold and silver. Didn't I say that it's fine to just pretend? Why don't you persuade her? Isn't this emptying the family's assets?"
Lu Shaoyuan smiled: "This is just the beginning. My mother said that these will belong to us and the children in the future."
After saying that, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He and Shen Ningning probably won't have children. It's a victory to keep her heart and let her stay by his side in this life.
Lu Shaoyuan quickly changed his words: "All yours, you're welcome."
Shen Ningning rubbed her eyebrows.
Forget it, after three years, their engagement will be cancelled, and she will return all these things.
As they were talking, Xu Jingxi suddenly appeared from behind them.
"What are you talking about in secret? And you have to say it behind people's backs?"
Shen Ningning hurriedly smiled and evaded the question, and Lu Shaoyuan followed with a dry laugh to smooth things over.
Xu Jingxi looked at their attitudes and always felt that something was wrong.
