The new bride

The Duke's mansion 

Su Liya bit her lips gently and summoning up courage said with a tiny voice "can you not go?"

Lu Yaozhu turned around and looked at her with an expression that said 'Do you even know what you mean'. Su Liya felt her cheek heat up immediately, she immediately tried to explain "I_ I don't mean it that way. It is just that leaving this quickly will make tongues wag."

Lu Yaozhu nodded but didn't reply, he walked to the door and spoke with her servant Yu Tao. Her heart sank when she saw him walk to the door, she wasn't surprised he was leaving but she still felt disappointed. She had hoped that Lu Yaozhu would still help her save face, even if they got married this way, he was still her husband.
