On the other side, Lu Chang'sheng was troubled as well.
If it weren't for Nangua and Chang'an being involved, he would've found an excuse to turn it down right away.
"I've pretty much got my act together now—even if I leave White Cloud Pharmacy, I can still make a name for myself."
That was the confidence Lu Chang'sheng relied on.
But since Nangua was involved this time, he couldn't just act on impulse.
He thought about it for a long while, wanting to reach out to Nangua, but he knew full well that she'd wanted him to take a concubine ages ago. If he went to see her, she'd definitely be all for it.
No way out, so he just had to deal with it on his own. He mulled it over until the dead of night before making up his mind.
"I've already got my hands full with Chang'an and Ziyou—how could I possibly add another one to the mix?"
He had his plan: once morning came, he'd find a reason to refuse.
