Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Wu Shao then stood up, looked around, and took a special look at Hu Ling. Then he clasped his fists towards everyone and said loudly, "I am not talented, but I appreciate the care of all of you. To avoid any misunderstandings, I would like to clarify that I already have a woman I like."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people started to make a noise again. Those who knew about the story between Wu Shao and Hu Ling remained silent.

When Bihua heard this, an expression of grievance and resentment appeared on her face. She turned to look at her mother, meaning that she wanted her mother to stand up for her.

Even without Bihua's urging, her mother had already curled her lips. Although Wu Shao and Hu Ling's marriage hadn't been finalized, she already knew the details. No matter what, she was going to ruin their relationship today. At least she had to make things worse, so she could feel better. Just look at these people.

Bi Yanniang acted like a caring elder and said, "Master Wu, I'm not being nosy, but we watched you grow up. You must be cautious about marriage. You must listen to your parents and don't be fooled by others..."

"You don't have to worry about it!" Before she could finish, Wu Shao retorted loudly, "The marriage of the young people in my family is a major matter that will be decided by my family and my parents. No one else has to interfere." Wu Shao no longer wanted to be polite to her at this moment.

Bi Yanniang was stunned. She hadn't expected Young Master Wu to be so disrespectful. Feeling a little embarrassed, she looked eagerly at Master Wu and his wife, hoping they could help her out.

Mr. Wu frowned. Although he had no good feelings towards this woman, he still said to Young Master Wu in a serious tone, "Weiye, you must not lose your sense of propriety when talking to guests."

Young Master Wu nodded silently. Bi Yaniang, seeing the opportunity, simply threw herself out there and said with a charming smile, "Master Wu and Madam Wu, it's not that I'm being nosy, but I heard some rumors in town today that concern your family's reputation, so I'm kindly reminding you to be careful that Young Master Wu isn't being targeted by someone with covetous intentions."

Young Master Wu was about to explode when Master Wu glared at him, and he stopped talking. Master Wu then said to Bi Yanniang with a smile, "Well, just let it go, like a gentle breeze blowing over the hills. My Wu family has experienced all sorts of storms, so why should we care about such a small disturbance?"

Upon hearing this, everyone secretly admired Master Wu's calmness and magnanimity. He was indeed a noble master, his words were subtle yet powerful.

Bi Ya Niang was a little dejected, but she still clung to a glimmer of hope and said, "Master Wu and Madam Wu, let me make an inappropriate analogy. Young Master Wu will definitely marry a lady from a wealthy family, at least one who is better than my Bi Ya. If you don't pick any wildflower in the countryside, don't pick it."

At these words, Master Wu and his wife's faces paled. Young Master Wu wished he could jump up and slap her. Qingsheng Ranmo was also furious. Hu Ling closed her eyes slightly. The feeling at that moment was the most uncomfortable, unable to argue, unable to escape.

Fortunately, she still has so many friends around her who support her, especially Wu Shao, who always protects her face, making her feel a little comforted and at ease.

Madam Wu slowly spoke, "Madam Niu, you're wrong. Our Wu family has always been open-minded, and we respect and consider the opinions of our children when it comes to their marriages. Also, it's best not to bring up matters of illegitimate relationships, or you might just cause unnecessary trouble."

Mrs. Wu's words seemed innocuous, but Bi Yanniang's expression changed slightly, and she bit her lip, feeling a bit frightened. Perhaps only the older generation knew the reason.

The customs of the Great Yue Kingdom were actually quite open-minded. From officials appointed by the imperial court to wealthy merchants, many would marry women of humble status. Some even took women from the Hu ethnic minority into their homes.

Therefore, Bi Yaniang's words might accidentally touch the sensitive spots of some people. Bi Yaniang also came to her senses in an instant and felt a little regretful for what she had said.

But given her personality, how could she give up before achieving her goal? She didn't have time to come up with any more tricks.
