Shangguan Buhui's face flushed crimson. A wave of immense humiliation flooded his heart. He was about to erupt in anger, but he remembered his sister's words and forced it down, managing an awkward laugh. "Heh heh, Duke Qin, you must be joking. There has been a huge misunderstanding. It's a shame we never had the chance to explain to Qin Li. The Shangguan Family has, in fact, always considered him our son-in-law! We were just waiting for Shiyu to return to arrange their wedding!"
As soon as Shangguan Buhui spoke, even his son, Shangguan Xuanyu, blushed and turned his face away. The others inwardly sneered at Shangguan Buhui's shameless statement.
Qin Li gave a noncommittal "Oh?" and smiled faintly. "Is that so? I, however, have heard that your Shangguan Family is quite adept at kicking a man when he's down!"
