Chapter 926: Disappear from My Sight
The villagers immediately made way, and no one dared to speak.
Ge Qifei’s face flushed with humiliation, "What are you doing, Monarch Lu Xiang?"
Shu Yu stood on the steps, looking down at him, "Don’t you recognize me? Just now, you were pretending to be naive and ignorant. You said the decision to call off the engagement was made by your parents, were you locked up then?"
"...Yes."
"So why aren’t you locked up now?"
Ge Qifei’s lips pursed, he steadied himself as he stood, "After calling off the engagement, naturally, my parents no longer needed to keep me confined."
"Oh, so you’re saying after the engagement was called off, you were free. Then why didn’t you come to apologize and seek forgiveness from Lanhua, to clear the misunderstanding? At that time, everyone was blaming Lanhua for the broken engagement, yet I didn’t see you come forward to hurt for her, to protect her. Why parade your deep affection now, timed so conveniently when I have become the village chief?"
Ge Qifei’s complexion shifted slightly, and the other villagers started murmuring.
Shu Yu, uninterested in his responses, waved her hand in warning, "Once the engagement is called off, it’s off. If you keep pestering like this, don’t blame me for being rude."
