Anyway, No

Mrs. Lu, however, continued to insist, pressuring the patriarch's wife and claiming that she had been promised Zhao Shu for her youngest daughter. This rumor had already spread, tarnishing her daughter's reputation, and now the Zhao Family was demanded to provide an explanation.

She hinted strongly that Zhao Shu was intended for her daughter's hand in marriage.

Zhao Shu's expression darkened.

The patriarch's wife, caught off guard by the unfolding situation, was filled with regret. Despite Mrs. Lu's accusations, she vehemently denied any such promise.

Zhao Shu could clarify that while he might have entertained the idea in the past, no formal steps like proposing or exchanging birth dates had taken place—it wasn't a valid commitment.
