Chapter 191 - 189 She Will Never Learn!
Lu Shiyan shook his head. "Father does not permit it."
Years ago, when he was in his fiefdom in Jiangnan, he learned of the Shen Family’s confiscation, Lu Ying’s remarriage to Shen Yunxi, and had once written to his father, pleading for Zhaozhao to be bestowed upon him, even if only as a concubine.
Yet, his father uncharacteristically refused.
His father said the Shen Family’s downfall had hidden reasons and that Zhaozhao was no ordinary woman. He forbade Lu Shiyan from ever involving himself with Zhaozhao again.
The piercing cold wind bit at his skin.
Lu Shiyan clasped Luo Wanzhao’s hand in return. "In any case, thanks for your efforts concerning Zhaozhao."
Their fingers intertwined, Luo Wanzhao’s cheeks turned bright red as she placed her hand gently over the back of Lu Shiyan’s. "If something troubles Your Highness’s heart, it also weighs heavily on mine. In this world, should Your Highness desire anything or anyone, I will spare no effort to fulfill it. I believe that, since young sister Shen is unwilling to go to Jiangnan, and Your Majesty refuses to grant her to you, why not quietly ’invite’ her to Jiangnan?"
"’Invite’ her to Jiangnan?"
"Your Highness has always been wise; how could you not understand my meaning? As for young sister Shen, one day she’ll come to realize that everything Your Highness and I have done was for her benefit."
Lu Shiyan mulled over the feasibility of this plan, remaining silent for a long while.
