Chapter 15: Matrimonial Matters_1

“`

A vein of premium Qingshi stone, about three hundred meters long?

The Zhao Family has actually given up on it directly, and let it go to our Luo Family?

Hearing what Luo Ping said, Luo Changfeng’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.

Because he had inherited the memory of his predecessor.

Therefore, he was relatively familiar with the value of the Qingshi stone vein.

Lower tier Qingshi stone veins, mid-tier Qingshi stone veins.

The Luo Family had them all.

Even for an upper-tier Qingshi stone vein that was above mid-tier, the Luo Family had one.

However, it was only about fifty meters long.

Yet even so, that fifty-meter-long upper-tier Qingshi stone vein had brought great benefits to the Luo Family.

It could even be said that about thirty percent of the Luo Family’s profits came from that upper-tier Qingshi stone vein.

Let alone that premium vein that was about three hundred meters long.

Would the Zhao Family really let go of such a tremendously valuable premium Qingshi stone vein so easily?

Could it be that the current head of the Zhao Family is waiting for me, Luo Changfeng, to die?

After which, they would slowly deal with the Luo Family.

“No, that’s not right…” Beneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly shook his head.

It seemed that he might have been somewhat led astray by that kid, Luo Ping.

The most pressing issue right now shouldn’t be about the premium Qingshi stone vein.

But rather, figuring out what was going on with the sudden loss of twenty points of life force.

“Has anyone in the Luo Family Ancestral Land passed away recently?”

“Ah?” Although Luo Ping was quite surprised by his ancestor’s question,

he still shook his head and answered.

“No?” After pondering for a moment, Luo Changfeng asked again, “Then in recent days, has any woman from the clan been married off?”

This time, Luo Ping nodded.

“So there really was…”

Luo Changfeng suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If it were so, that after marrying off, females of the Luo Family were no longer recognized by the Golden Finger as part of the Luo Family,

then the matter would become somewhat troublesome.

Being the ancestor of the Luo Family, he couldn’t exactly tell Luo Ping directly,

From now on, the womenfolk of the Luo Family could not marry out.

Only that the men must marry into the family, correct?

If that were really the case, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

“I understand, you may leave now…”

Luo Changfeng waved his hand somewhat helplessly.

Seeing this, Luo Ping bowed slightly and then turned around.

Walking out of the courtyard.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already midday.

At this time, the sun hung high in the sky.

The scorching sunlight spilled over the land,

making the already dry and hot air gradually become even more terrifyingly warm.

“Father, do we really have to go through with this?”

Outside the Hu Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town,

to Hu Min, the Young Master of the Hu Family, it seemed that he still wanted to struggle one last time.

To make that sickly woman, who was close to death, his wife, Hu Min really was somewhat unwilling.

“I have said before, the interests of the family come before everything else.”

“The Ancestor of the Luo Family is nearing his end, already half-buried in the yellow earth.”

“The conflicts between the three Luo brothers are also continuous and unending.”

“Once the Ancestor of the Luo Family dies, the disputes among the Luo brothers will inevitably burst out over time.”

“By then, it will be reasonable for our Hu Family to intervene in the Luo Family’s affairs.”

“The profits from the Qingshi stone veins are not less than the profits from the markets we Hu Family control.”

“`

“So, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter.”

Having said that, Hu Da led a large entourage of Hu Family servants, along with a generous array of gifts.

He headed in the direction of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

“Ah…” Outside the Hu Family land, Hu Min watched his father’s retreating figure and sighed softly.

He wasn’t entirely happy with the situation.

But since his father had put it that way,

what could he do?

Could he possibly argue with his father’s decision?

Despite being the Young Master of the Hu Family, Hu Min didn’t have the courage to do so.

After all, his father, the Family Head of the Hu Family,

didn’t have him as his only son.

If Hu Min carelessly displeased his father,

whether he could retain his position as the Young Master of the Hu Family would be uncertain.

…

Although Qingshi Town wasn’t very large,

the lands of the top four families of Qingshi Town were located in the four cardinal directions: east, south, west, and north.

Together with the large number of displaced people on the streets,

the journey from the Hu Family land to the Luo Family land took the Hu party about half an hour.

“My lord Hu Da, the Family Head of the Hu Family, requests an audience with the Luo Family Patriarch,” a Hu Family servant said urgently as he scurried to the main entrance of the Luo Family.

He announced loudly to two Luo house servants who were guarding the door.

“The Hu Family? Why would the Hu Family suddenly come to our Luo Family?”

“Why ponder so much, just report the visit promptly,” replied one.

The two servants at the gate were somewhat perplexed about the purpose of the Hu Family’s visit,

but after all, they were just two servants of the Luo Family.

When it came to the matter of the Hu Family Head seeking an audience with the Luo Family Patriarch,

the Luo house servants certainly did not dare to delay in their actions.

…

After being reported by the two Luo house servants,

Hu Da, the Family Head of the Hu Family, and Hu Min, the Young Master,

were subsequently admitted into the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

As for the servants of the Hu Family?

They were naturally left outside the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

After all, this was one of the top four familial territories in Qingshi Town, the Luo Family Clan area,

a place not just anyone could freely enter or exit.

…

Following a Luo servant who guided them,

Hu Da and Hu Min soon arrived at the guest hall of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

At that moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Patriarch of the Luo Family,

was quietly sitting in the main seat, leisurely drinking tea, and looking at the two men in front of him as he asked in a low voice,

“I wonder what brings the Family Head of the Hu Family to the Luo Family?”

“For a marriage alliance, of course!” Hu Da stepped forward with a small smile, casually sitting in a nearby armchair, and said.

“A marriage alliance???” Luo Ping, upon hearing this, immediately put down the porcelain teacup in his hand,

and looked at Hu Da with a somewhat serious expression.

“Yes, a marriage alliance,” Hu Da nodded slightly, then continued, “Who in Qingshi Town isn’t aware of the current situation of the Luo Family?”

“In addition, your Luo Family has secured that Upper Tier Qing stone vein measuring more than three hundred meters for yourselves.”

“It’s likely that the Zhao Family has set their sights firmly on the Luo Family at this point, have they not?”

“If the Luo Family were to form a marriage alliance with our Hu Family now, joining forces together,”

“I won’t speak of other benefits, but at least the Zhao Family wouldn’t dare to trouble the Luo Family so easily.”

“Hence, the marriage alliance is a win-win for both your Luo Family and our Hu Family.”

“I wonder what the Luo Family Patriarch thinks of this proposal?”
