Zhao Xi waved his hand. "It's fine. The letter explains everything regarding the engagement; it's better for Lu Erbai to read it himself than for me to paraphrase."
Seeing him say this, Lu Erbai no longer declined and opened the letter to read.
The letter began with Old Doctor Zhao berating Zhao Xi, rambling on without a shred of politeness.
But even amidst the scolding, Lu Erbai could sense his care for Zhao Xi.
After finishing the reprimand, the tone of the letter became serious, focusing on matters related to the engagement.
It seemed Zhao Xi had written the letter early on—back when he had just realized his feelings for Shuyou. At the time, he was unsure when he could win her over, and naturally, he couldn't predict when the engagement or wedding would happen.
Therefore, in Old Doctor Zhao's reply, he mentioned that since he was far away and might not make it back in time, Zhao Xi should act accordingly, following the customs of the Lu family.
