Chapter 2048: Chapter 2045: Considerations
Young Master Luo’s expression was somewhat serious.
Within fifteen minutes.
The Second Master, Third Master, and the entire family of the Luo Family, along with Old Lady Luo, were in the hall.
This news made Second Master of the Luo Family a bit fearful: “Is the Chu family also coming to seize this shop?”
“What should we do? We can’t afford to offend the Chu family, nor can we offend the Deng Family.” Second Lady Luo was quite afraid and extremely anxious.
The Third Master was even more lacking in progress: “If we handle this poorly, what will we do if we can’t stay in the capital in the future?”
“This Lord Chu has a bad relationship with Grand Tutor Deng. Why must they even fight over a single shop? It’s us small fry who suffer. If we had known, we should have sold the shop earlier.” Third Madam was a bit restless.
Old Lady Luo said hesitantly, “Otherwise, should we not sell it at all?”
“Of course not; we’ve already promised Grand Tutor Deng!” Second Master was the first to oppose. Previously, because he had no official title and hadn’t entered the official circle, the Deng Family also looked down on him, and whenever there were any banquets, it was always his elder brother’s family who attended.
But they instinctively feared the Deng Family.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed despite the grievances without hesitation.
Who knew the real challenges were yet to come.
“Isn’t Lord Chu supposed to be the fairest? Turns out it’s all talk. Our elder brother’s family got exiled, our entire household is ruined, and now he still wants to trouble us. It’s like forcing us to die.” Second Lady Luo was resentful and extremely dissatisfied with Chu Heng.
The others agreed with these sentiments.
At this moment, Young Master Luo spoke: “Madam, do you really think it’s Lord Chu who has brought us to this point?”
“Isn’t it?” Second Lady Luo retorted unhappily.
“Elder brother, don’t think just because you’re currently the only one with a title, you’re so proud. This family is not something you can control. Next year, I too will take the exam, become an imperial examination graduate, and be able to become an official,” Third Young Master Luo spoke out, dissatisfied with Young Master Luo.
Young Master Luo only glanced at him lightly: “Offending the two lords, even if you pass the imperial examination, what opportunities will there be for you to become an official?”
Third Young Master Luo was immediately like a duck strangled by the neck, his face turning red, unable to utter a word.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Young Master Luo said, “If we analyze the personalities of the two lords, we would rather offend Lord Chu than offend Grand Tutor Deng. At least there are never any unpleasant rumors about Lord Chu.”
“However, Lord Chu’s actions have almost never failed.”
This admission increased the restlessness of the Luo family.
“So what? Does Lord Chu want to force a purchase? If it were so, that would be better for us. We wouldn’t have to do anything, let them fight over it, and we’d remain uninvolved.” Third Young Master Luo said naively.
“But the Deng Family won’t give us that chance,” Young Master Luo pointed out: “With Grand Tutor Deng’s nature, upon knowing Lord Chu wants to take the shop from him, he will certainly send someone immediately to handle the transactions.”
“This isn’t what we desire.” Third Young Master Luo was annoyed: “When Lord Chu demands the shop, he’ll certainly have to take it from Grand Tutor Deng’s hands, what does it have to do with our Luo Family.”
“This is about our future plans.”
“Er Lang, what do you mean by this?” Old Lady Luo still trusted him.
Young Master Luo said, “If we wish to continue developing in the capital, we must either cling tightly to Grand Tutor Deng, or bear his dissatisfaction and associate with Lord Chu.”
