Lu Shiyan shook his head. "Father does not permit it."
Years ago, when he was in his fiefdom in Jiangnan, he learned of the Shen Family's confiscation, Lu Ying's remarriage to Shen Yunxi, and had once written to his father, pleading for Zhaozhao to be bestowed upon him, even if only as a concubine.
Yet, his father uncharacteristically refused.
His father said the Shen Family's downfall had hidden reasons and that Zhaozhao was no ordinary woman. He forbade Lu Shiyan from ever involving himself with Zhaozhao again.
The piercing cold wind bit at his skin.
Lu Shiyan clasped Luo Wanzhao's hand in return. "In any case, thanks for your efforts concerning Zhaozhao."
