When Xu Jiayu heard Yu Yingji's words, she slowly frowned, and then she raised her head and looked towards the outside of the hall.

He really didn't understand. Things had come to this point. What other means could the Yu family use? With the Ning family's eldest young master present, not only did they ruin their engagement party, but they also openly pulled Lu Youyou down?

Xu Jiayu was confused, but when he saw the figure walking slowly in from the gate, he suddenly froze in place.

At the same time, Lu Qingtang was holding the betrothal gift given to her by Ning Yan, looking at the man opposite her with a smile.

Ning Yan looked at the little girl's sweet and bright smile, chuckled, took a half step back, and gracefully half-knelt in front of Lu Qingtang. She handed a ring in her hand to her, and said in a gentle and clear tone, "Miss Lu Youyou, will you marry me?"

Lu Qingtang blinked, raised his hand to take the ring, and said loudly, "I wish——"

Before the word "意" was uttered, a slightly deep voice suddenly came from the doorway of the hall, "Ayan is getting engaged today, how come you didn't even inform me, an old lady?!"

When Ning Yan heard this voice, a hint of sinisterness flashed across her clear peach blossom eyes.

He stood up, took Lu Qingtang's hand, and pulled her behind him. He turned and looked at an old man standing at the entrance of the hall. He was surrounded by a group of people. He was wearing a cheongsam and had a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads on his wrist. Although there was a smile on his delicate face, there was no smile in his eyes. "It's hard for you to rush all the way from the capital... It's really hard for you, old man."

The old woman standing at the door snorted coldly, her smile forced. "As a grandmother, I can't be absent from my grandson's engagement!"

When they heard the identity of the visitor, there was an uproar at the scene, and shocked eyes were all looking at the old lady.

This is actually... the old lady of the Ning family? !

After the shock, the guests' eyes became strange again.

The Ning family's eldest young master was getting engaged, but no elder from the Ning family was present, which was already criticized. Now, Old Madam Ning was present, but judging from her aura... it seemed that she had bad intentions.

Sure enough... the elders of the Ning family still couldn't accept that their grandson would marry a mentally ill person?

When Lu Qingtang heard the identity of the visitor, the smile on his face disappeared.

She poked her head out from Ning Yan and looked at the old man standing outside the door, who didn't look kind at all, and her eyes immediately became unfriendly.

She hadn't forgotten what Yu Yingji had said before: the elders of the Ning family liked her more than their own grandson...

Then the purpose of Madam Ning coming here today... needs to be further investigated!

Old Madam Ning met Lu Qingtang's gaze, snorted heavily, and extended her hand to Yu Yingji who was standing beside her.

Yu Yingji walked forward with a smile, held Madam Ning's hand, and accompanied her to the main seat.

Among those present, Madam Ning was the most senior, and since it was an engagement party between the Ning and Lu families, naturally no one would stop her.

After Old Madam Ning took her seat, she folded her sandalwood Buddhist beads and closed her eyes slightly. "Why? I'm already sitting here, and Ah Yan doesn't want to bring his wife to pay his respects to Grandmother?!"

Ning Yan stared at Madam Ning for a moment, sneered slightly, turned to look at Lu Qingtang beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to go over?"

The implication was that if she didn't want to go, she could just ignore Madam Ning.

Lu Qingtang looked at Madam Ning's harsh face, and thought that this old woman might not be nice to her young husband. She smiled slightly and said, "Since she is your grandmother, then I should naturally go and pay my respects to her."

She really wanted to see what this old woman had that she thought could threaten her...
