"Lord, I implore you to grant my request!" Second Old Master Lu pleaded earnestly. He subtly hinted at Lu Xianyun's upbringing, emphasizing her education in etiquette, painting, and calligraphy since childhood. Should she become part of the Lu family, they would spare no expense on her dowry…
Shao Yunduan found Second Old Master Lu's words repugnant. Maintaining his composure, he instructed someone to escort Second Old Master Lu out of the room.
The atmosphere within the Prefectural Government Office had changed. Such brazenness and shamelessness were no longer tolerated. Despite his indignation, Second Old Master Lu refrained from causing a scene, his demeanor darkening as he departed in disappointment.
His resilience was noteworthy. Though he left Shao Yunduan's presence crestfallen, he regained his composure and dignity upon reaching the court's entrance, appearing calm and refined once more.
It was as if he was having a great conversation with Lord Shao.
