Chapter 2174: The Reason for Marriage
The xiuzhe who pretended to pa.s.s by but actually wanted to find a chance to befriend Lu Zijia all revealed shocked expressions when they heard this.
Clearly, they did not expect that the Liang Family of Hong Tian City had such a relations.h.i.+p with Lu Zijia.
” The Liang Family has such a relations.h.i.+p with Master Lu. Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
“Didn’t Master Lu just return to Hong Tian City? Maybe he hasn’t had the time to acknowledge his relatives yet!”
“Tsk, why don’t you say that the Liang Family looked down on Master Lu in the past? Now that Master Lu’s reputation has risen, you’re sucking up to him and acknowledging him as your relative?”
” That’s right. Master Lu had stayed in Hongtian Academy for almost two years twelve years ago. If the Liang Family really wanted to acknowledge this family as relatives, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?”
“The Liang family is related to Master Lu…No wonder, no wonder, no wonder!”
“No wonder what? Why do you speak so strangely?”
“Heh, I finally understand why the s.h.i.+ Family, one of the Four Great Families of Hong Tian City, would betroth their daughter to a disciple from a second-rate family. From the looks of it, it’s because the Liang Family is related to Master Lu.”
“After hearing what you said, I also feel that this is the case.”
Otherwise, why would the daughter of a big family choose to marry down?
Moreover, when s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang and Liang Baixian were engaged, no one had ever seen them approach each other.
In this case, it was obviously impossible for the two of them to be in love with each other.
The surrounding people’s discussion was extremely low, but to xiuzhe with sharp eyes and ears, it was not a problem.
s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang was already dissatisfied with the matter of marrying down. Now that she heard everyone’s discussion, it was as if she was the one who shamelessly stuck to the Liang family’s disciple. How could she not be angry?
“All of you shut up!”
s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang was so angry that her eyes were red. Her sharp voice pierced into everyone’s ears.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you point at me? Do you believe that I will whip you to death?”
s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang took out a dark black whip from her storage bag and lashed it on the ground with a fierce force. The hard stone floor instantly cracked.
Although the people who were threatened were unhappy, they could only swallow their anger because the other party was the daughter of the s.h.i.+ family.
Of course, some of them were not afraid of the s.h.i.+ family.
” We have our mouths. If we like to talk, we will. What can you do?”
” Exactly. Don’t think that just because you’re the young lady of the s.h.i.+ family, everyone has to give in to you. Why don’t you take a look at your cultivation? Who would take you seriously?”
” Tsk tsk, what a great young lady of the s.h.i.+ family. A few years ago, your elder sister was stripped of her position as the main consort and demoted to a secondary consort by Duke Fan. Do you want to be like your sister as a secondary consort and be demoted to a concubine?”
“Such an unruly woman is not a good match. I really pity that Liang family disciple.”
“What’s there to be pitiful about? One is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer.”
Hearing those people’s merciless mockery, s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang was simply going crazy from anger.
“Ahhh! Go die, die, all of you b * tches deserve to die! Go to h.e.l.l!”
s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart. She raised the whip in her hand and lashed it at the crowd.
The whip that was infused with spiritual power drew a terrifying sound in the air.
Although Liang Baixiao was also angry at everyone’s slander of the Liang family, she, who had always known how to endure, still tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Shuangshuang had really attacked everyone, he could not help but be shocked.
