Luo Shunchen did not agree immediately; instead, he said to Chu Lanchian, "Grandfather Chu, can I speak with you alone?"
"Of course."
Chu Lanchian nodded.
Right there, Luo Shunchen left Xi Xiaomeng in the room to take care of the two little girls while he led Chu Lanchian out to a garden in the courtyard.
The garden was not large, but one could easily see if there were people within ten meters of it.
Seeing no one around, Luo Shunchen then confessed to Chu Lanchian, "Grandfather Chu, I won't hide it from you. I will come to Siyou Country to ask for the Imperial Concubine's hand in marriage, and I will protect her with my life. As for Ruyan, it was I who inadvertently saved her life when I was twelve, and she voluntarily agreed to marry me. However, the person she promised to marry is the Ghost Emperor."
"The Ghost Emperor?"
Chu Lanchian was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you the Ghost Emperor?"
"Yes."
