Zhou Li's words were so shameless that the two little boys opened their mouths, but their faces turned red with embarrassment.
Fu Zhun: "..."
For a moment, I just wanted to pretend I was deaf.
No, it would be better to poison this kid and make him mute.
"You...don't talk nonsense!" Su An said, his face flushing red. This guy really has the ability to embarrass everyone!
Faced with several cold stares, Zhou Li touched his nose; he was only trying to be kind!
However, seeing the young boss's troubled expression, he became serious and leaned over to whisper a suggestion to Su An: "Young boss, actually my master wants a purse recently! It would be best if you embroidered it yourself, so that he can express his gratitude!"
Fearing that the prince with good hearing might hear, Zhou Li spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Su An frowned and listened several times before finally understanding.
My wallet!
Now things are even worse, I'm even more worried...
She can't do needlework!
Having no other choice, Su An went back and asked her mother how to make a purse.
Although Li Guihua's embroidery skills were not superb, they were still quite good, and she was more than capable of teaching Su An.
Seeing her daughter engrossed in her studies, embroidering for an entire afternoon, Li Guihua couldn't help but chuckle and tease, "Xiao An, you're putting in so much effort, could it be that you're already feeling the stirrings of love?"
The three siblings curiously gathered around Su An, and little Su Yue giggled, "Great! Yueyue is going to have a brother-in-law!"
"I choose the most powerful God of Wealth!" Su Ting said excitedly. His eyes lit up when he thought of Fu Zhunlu's trick, and he was very much looking forward to it.
If I become his brother-in-law, I can teach him martial arts!
After pondering for a moment, Su Jiang said seriously, "No! That man has difficulty walking, and my older sister is very active. She'll easily feel stifled with him!"
"The scholar beside him is lively and seems like a good person; he'd be a better match for my elder sister!"
The family started discussing the matter earnestly, leaving Su An, who was sitting next to them, completely dumbfounded.
She was at her wits' end and had no choice but to stop them: "Alright, alright, stop being so presumptuous. Those two are obviously not ordinary people, they're worlds apart from us. How dare they even dream about us!"
In ancient times, the social hierarchy was extremely rigid. Even if two people were attracted to each other, they were unlikely to be together if they were not of equal social standing.
"Besides, this is just a simple thank-you gift, how could you all imagine such a wonderful thing!" Su An was so angry that he almost laughed out loud.
After she said that, Sanwa and Li Guihua looked at each other and silently put their minds at ease.
Seeing that the family had calmed down, Su An was relieved and continued embroidering.
Her mother taught her the simplest bamboo leaf, but no matter how she looked at it, it was still too ugly.
Su An let out a long, helpless sigh, but persevered and dismantled it again to rebuild it.
Who told her to have OCD!
Then it lasted for three whole days.
After Su An's fingers were pierced countless times, she finally made the most satisfying purse!
"It wasn't easy!" Su An held the purse, her eyes welling up with tears.
This gift should be enough to express her gratitude! The holes in her hands speak volumes!
It was already afternoon. The family closed their shop and were washing ingredients for the next day in the yard. Everyone who saw this gave them a thumbs up.
But at that moment—
"Knock knock!" Two knocks sounded on the door.
"I'll go take a look. Maybe the neighbor's all-hearing ears heard the thank-you gift." Su An joked as he walked out.
However, upon opening the shop door, they were met with an unexpected face.
"He Cheng?!" Su An suddenly frowned, and his expression instantly turned disgusted.
Was this darn thing deliberately trying to irritate her eyes?
“It’s me, you don’t need to get too excited.” He Cheng nodded slightly, with one hand behind his back and a calm expression.
He seemed to be trying to appear as a refined gentleman, but he only seemed more affected, with a pretentious air of aloofness.
Su An choked for a moment, and inexplicably thought of Fu Zhun, who was as aloof as the snow on Mount Song, needing no pretense, sitting there quietly like the bright moonlight, peerless and unparalleled.
Could it be that He Cheng is imitating that calm and majestic momentum?
He's gone crazy again after only a few days? And he's even deliberately trying to disgust himself!
Before Su An could question him, He Cheng noticed that she was staring at him absentmindedly, and a ruthless glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He had painstakingly saved up ten taels of silver, which he had originally intended to use to treat the officials of the prefectural city to a meal and build relationships, but unexpectedly, it was taken away by this scoundrel!
Not only did he fail to regain his reputation, but he also suffered huge losses. How could he accept this? He deliberately lingered in the county town, and that's when he discovered that this scoundrel not only owned a steamed bun shop, but her business was booming!
Just from what I've seen in the last few days, I estimate the income is at least a hundred taels! And this slut has been keeping it from him all along!
He Cheng clenched his fists under his sleeves in anger, and said through gritted teeth, "Su An, I know everything."
"While I was taking the exam, you couldn't stand the loneliness, so you found a substitute who looked like me to relieve your boredom!"
"You committed adultery, shameless and indiscreet! But I can forgive you for all of this out of consideration for our past relationship."
He Cheng remembered the disabled man in a wheelchair he had seen yesterday, and his fists clenched even tighter.
A cripple! Even if he has a similar demeanor, how can he compare to a mere scholar who has passed the imperial examinations!
Just wait! Once this little bitch is in the family, let's see how he treats her!
"I have come to keep my promise and am willing to disregard the past and take you as my concubine, making you Lady Shangguan!"
"But you know my family's situation; we're still struggling financially. In order for us to live a good life in the future, you need to prepare a dowry of one hundred taels of silver as a supplement!"
After saying that, He Cheng raised his chin arrogantly, ready to see Su An's ecstatic expression.
The reason Su An was so aggressive and deliberately distant before was because she blamed him for being unfaithful. Now, is that alright?
Upon hearing these words, Su An gasped in shock.
This scumbag is either obsessed or he's just asking for trouble!
Last time it wasn't convenient in court, but this time Su An didn't need to hold back anymore. She spat in his face with extreme disgust, pointed at his nose, and cursed angrily: "You blind, mangy dog, you bite whatever you touch, huh?!"
"You cheated my family out of ten taels of silver before, and now you want to cheat my family out of everything? I spit on you, you shameless bastard whose ancestors for eighteen generations have no shame! You've really mastered the art of living off a woman! Who would want to look at a beast in human skin like you!"
"Get the hell out of here right now! Don't dirty my floor, I need to sprinkle some pig's blood to ward off bad luck!"
"Su An!!! You! You!" He Cheng was stunned into place by the string of curses, his face still pale and gloomy, and he hadn't even caught his breath.
suddenly--
A large basin of pig's blood mixed with swill was splashed at him, instantly spraying him all over his body and face!
After Li Guihua finished splashing the water, she slammed the wooden basin down on the spot, her eyes bloodshot as she yelled, "Didn't you hear what Xiao An said?! Get out of here! My house doesn't welcome animals, but it does slaughter them!"
