Shen Ningning hurried forward and grabbed his sleeve. "Get up! What are you doing?"
'We're not really getting married. How could Lu Shaoyuan just make a vow like that for my sake?'
'Does he not care about his own life?'
However, Lu Shaoyuan remained kneeling, steady as a rock.
Before Xie Suzhi could even process what was happening, Mrs. Meng's hearty laughter rang out from the side.
"Excellent! He should be kneeling!"
Even the matchmaker was shocked.
In all her years as a matchmaker, this was the first time she had ever seen a young master kneel before his future father-in-law while his own mother clapped with glee.
It seemed Mrs. Meng was truly beyond pleased with this marriage match.
Mrs. Meng beamed. "Ningning, just let him kneel. If you ask me, how else can we show our sincerity?"
With that, she turned to Xie Suzhi.
"Chancellor Xie, my husband has some urgent and tricky official business today, so he was unable to come. Otherwise, he would have accompanied us."
