Chapter 241: Abandoned Mother, I Want to Be a Real Couple with You

Ten thousand taels of silver is not enough to cast a life-sized silver man!

Who is worth ten thousand taels?

The Queen in the palace!

Lu Qiniang couldn't help but say, "That would be so beautiful!"

It must be the word she just learned - the kind of beauty that is stunningly beautiful.

No, I can't imagine it.

No matter how beautiful it is, it still costs ten thousand taels!

"It is very beautiful. It is tall and well-proportioned, with long and strong limbs, a slender neck, smooth lines, a light and flexible posture, and it is also very strong."

Lu Qiniang in front probably understood it, but when she heard the word "strong", she suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.

She thought of herself.

Is he as strong as me?

So this is what Xiao Yan has always liked?

But other people's strength is worth ten thousand taels, while mine is not even worth a hundred taels.

The price difference between people is even greater than the price difference between people and pigs.

Then she heard Xiao Yan continue, "Its fur is soft and smooth, and it's very human..."

Lu Qiniang slowly typed a question mark.

"No, isn't Wangyun a human?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, "Wang Yun is a human?"

He was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Abandoned Mother, you didn't study hard with me."

"ah?"

"A few days ago, I was talking about famous horses in ancient times. When I mentioned Wangyunzhui, I said that my mount is called Wangyun."

Lu Qi Niang: "...Maybe I ate it with my meal."

She was too tired at that time, and had to pretend to accompany her children to study when she came home at night, but she really didn't learn much.

Besides, even if she studies hard, her brain may not be able to obey her.

It turns out that Wangyun is a horse. She said, who is worth ten thousand taels of silver?

But this horse...

Why is it so expensive!

"Xiao Yan, does your horse have wings? It can fly into the sky! Ten thousand taels, wow." Lu Qiniang shook her head.

"This is a gift from the Emperor."

"The Emperor is so generous. You said you... never mind, I won't say anymore. The Emperor is so good to you!"

You're still not listening! Lu Qiniang added in her heart.

If the emperor could give her ten thousand taels, she would definitely do whatever he wants.

Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels.

Every time when Lu Qiniang thought she had become emotionally stable with the rich people's measurement units, there would always be a number that would shock her even more.

Did all your money come from the wind?

Xiao Yan said, "In the capital, the number of horses worth over ten thousand taels can be counted on one hand. And my Wangyun is the best."

Lu Qiniang said she understood.

Xiao Yan could tolerate the Marquis's Mansion withholding other things.

But the war horse, that was his friend, his brother, oh, Xiao Yan said, that was a mare, so they were brother and sister, Xiao Yan couldn't bear it.

He wanted his horse back.

Lu Qiniang said, "Let's think about it slowly. We definitely need it, but we have to think of a way. Let's think about it slowly, together."

Xiao Yan nodded, "Let's celebrate the New Year first, and then we'll talk about it after the New Year."

Lu Qiniang felt uncomfortable when she saw the slap marks on his face.

"Don't go there again."

"Yeah. Abandoned Mother——"

"Um?"

"Do you think I'm awesome?"

"Of course. You are the dignified General Po Lu. If you are not powerful, is there anyone else powerful in this world?" Lu Qiniang said affirmatively.

"But besides being good at fighting, everything else is a mess. I often can't help but think how bad I am as a person that I am not accepted by my family. No matter how powerful I was, when I was in trouble, I was alone. Only you gave me a family."

"Abandoned Mother," Xiao Yan looked at Lu Qiniang with deep eyes, "I've actually wanted to tell you a long time ago that I want to be with you for a long time, to be a real couple, for the rest of our lives, and never leave you."

"Xiao Yan, you——"

"Let me finish. Listen to me first. I don't mean to force you."

"Okay, then tell me." Lu Qiniang lowered her eyes, her hands folded and kneaded unnaturally.

"I dare not say it, because I know that if I tell you, you will also drive me away to avoid suspicion, just like you are using six thousand taels of silver to send me out of the house now."

"I didn't, I wasn't—OK, you say—"

"I didn't want to leave, so I didn't dare to say it. Because I abandoned my mother, this family may be poor and difficult, but it has become the most beautiful memory I have had in the past twenty years."

"What's the use of having money? I fell down and broke my leg, and no one comforted me. But when someone slapped me, you felt sorry for me. I used to go to social events and come home without a light or hangover soup. It wasn't because I didn't have money, it was because no one was willing to pay attention to me."

"It's true that you can't survive without money, but if you have money but no love, your home will be a cold prison."

"I know that the reason you've always rejected me is that I was once General Po Lu, and I might be General Po Lu again in the future. My proud past and hopeful future are all reasons you've rejected me."

"How I wish I were just an ordinary person, so that I would be qualified to be noticed by you. Because of my abandoned mother, you don't dislike me. You are used to calling me husband and wife now. You never feel embarrassed when calling me 'husband' in front of outsiders."

"You're not rejecting me now, but the me who will rise to prominence in the future. You think you're unworthy of me because you're poor, uneducated, and lack a distinguished family background. But you haven't considered that I once made some contributions and came from a wealthy family. But that's my past, not my character, and certainly not my sin."

"Abandoned Mother, I want a home. A home with you and children, a home that can shelter me from the wind and rain, a home I can truly be attached to, a home that will not abandon me, and will not be abandoned by me."

"You think you're not good enough for me, but don't I just covet your warmth? The qualities you possess are, in my opinion, more precious than gold."

"Abandoned Mother, it's not that you're trying to get ahead of me; it's me who wants to pursue you." Xiao Yan said, "Forget about General Po Lu. The man in front of you is just a pitiful person who has been unloved since childhood, alone, and has nowhere to go."

Lu Qiniang: "This, this——"

Why are you still pretending to be pitiful?

I can't get her to do it in one go.

"If you think that I will abandon you like Zhang Heyao in the future, then I will do nothing but stay with you. What does fame, wealth and status mean to me?"

If she has been bitten by a snake once, she will be afraid of ropes for ten years; if a successful Xiao Yan cannot make her better, but can only make her worried, then there is nothing worth looking forward to in his success.
