Chapter Nineteen: The Unromantic Pouch



In an instant, He Cheng's head was buzzing.

The sticky, foul-smelling pig's blood dripped down his body, along with rotten vegetable leaves that clung to him. The irritation made him turn pale, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of sour water.

But the next moment, pig's blood mixed with swill dripped into his mouth from his face!

He Cheng's face immediately contorted even more, and with a "yue," he trembled as he was about to vomit violently.

At this moment, the three siblings also found their tools and rushed over. When they saw the situation, they were so angry that they jumped up and down.

"You disgusting thing, try spitting in front of our house!"

Su Ting was disgusted. He had only had time to grab the broom from the outhouse, and now he cursed loudly, raised the broom, and angrily shoved it into He Cheng's face.

He Cheng stared in horror, his eyes wide open, and he could almost smell the sour stench emanating from the broom!

He had to swallow the bile that was rising in his throat, but he was immediately disgusted by his own actions and his eyes rolled back, almost fainting.

"..." Su An's eyelids twitched as she watched, and she quickly stepped back.

It was truly disgusting, instantly extinguishing even her desire to curse!

"Third brother, why waste so much time talking to him? Just deal with him!" Su Jiang shouted coldly, his dustpan filled with household garbage, which he threw at He Cheng as he spoke.

After throwing away the trash, he pulled out some stinky muddy rags from somewhere and, together with Su Ting, continued to smear mud on He Cheng.

Little Su Yue was pulled back by Li Guihua, so she could only glare angrily from behind, waving her little arms and legs, and huffing and puffing to cheer on her two older brothers:

"Beat him! Beat that scumbag! He bullied your older sister, beat him to death!"

"Enough!!!" He Cheng roared in a disheveled manner, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the Su family members, his lips trembling violently as he shrieked:

"Don't be so ungrateful! I'm a scholar, and it's a miracle that you've come to my door to propose marriage! How dare you treat me like this!"

Believe it or not—

Before he could finish speaking, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out: "Believe what or not?"

Then, a handsome man in a wheelchair was slowly pushed over.

"You, it's you!"

He Cheng immediately gritted his teeth, his eyes red with anger as he pointed at Fu Zhun in the wheelchair.

"You adulterer, you had an affair with Su An, and now that I, the rightful culprit, have returned, how dare you show your face!"

He sized Fu Zhun up and down, his sneer growing louder with each look. Then, he turned to Su An with disdain and said, "Su An, even if you're desperate and can't wait for me, how could you choose such a cripple? Your taste is terrible!"

"And he dares to put on such a condescending act! I am a scholar who passed the imperial examination, what kind of person is he? How can he compare to me!"

He Cheng cursed angrily, completely ignoring the Su family members and Zhou Li, whose faces were extremely dark.

"Shut up!" Fu Zhun coldly spat out his lips. The next moment, his sleeves fluttered, and a hidden knife flew swiftly, leaving only a blur, before suddenly stabbing towards He Cheng.

Before He Cheng could even see it, he heard a "thud" as the throwing knife pierced deep into his groin!

"Ah!!!" He screamed instantly, and in the excruciating pain, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"You...you dare to lay a hand on me, a mere scholar?!"

How vicious! That knife almost pierced his manhood!

He Cheng's face contorted in pain and turned ashen. His pupils constricted, his legs trembled, and he looked at the person in the wheelchair with disbelief and fear.

The fleeting glint in Fu Zhun's dark eyes was as shimmering and cold as an ice flower; with just one glance, He Cheng felt a chill run down his spine for no reason.

"This is your first chance."

Fu Zhun's expression was cool and indifferent as he slowly and calmly said, "If there's a next time, I'll castrate him."

The man's voice was slow and deliberate, but to He Cheng at this moment, it sounded like a death warrant from hell, and his face turned even paler.

This man is really daring!

Fear flashed in He Cheng's eyes. Ignoring the pain and not daring to speak, he shakily got up, turned around, and fled.

"Yay! The handsome brother chased away the bad guy!"

Su Yi's sudden cheers startled the rest of the Su family.

They all stared at Fu Zhun in disbelief.

Su An was alright; he had just seen Fu Zhun demonstrate his skills and was grateful for being saved.

I haven't even paid back the money yet, and now they're helping me again!

And even this ethereal beauty like him was implicated in the rumors!

Thinking of this, Su An couldn't help but curse He Cheng in his heart again.

At this moment, Zhou Li pushed Fu Zhun forward, his face still flushed with anger. He said indignantly, "How could there be such scum and coward! He dares to bully the elderly, the weak, women and children. I don't know how the young boss could have thought much of him before!"

Upon hearing this, Su An couldn't help but awkwardly touch her nose, "...Sigh."

Zhou Li then realized he had spoken out of turn and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, boss, I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt sorry for you!"

Seeing that Su An wasn't angry, but instead nodded at them with gratitude, he immediately grinned and winked, saying, "Little boss, my master performed better this time, didn't he?"

"What, how about you repay me with your body this time?"

Fu Zhun's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. In front of the whole family, he could only helplessly rub his forehead and quickly shut him up: "Shut up, don't be rude."

Fortunately, Su An was already used to Zhou Li's occasional witty remarks, so she smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The timing was perfect, so she took out the newly embroidered purse from her bosom, stepped forward and handed it to Fu Zhun, lowering her eyelashes slightly shyly as she said:

"Oh, right, this is a thank-you gift for what happened last time. I heard you needed a purse, so I embroidered this myself. It's not very well done, but it's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't mind."

A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Zhun's dark eyes. So this was what Zhou Li had told her.

However, their gaze then lingered on Su An's hand.

Her slender, fair fingers were covered with holes from needle pricks, some new and some old, which made his heart tighten involuntarily.

Is a purse really worth all this trouble for her?

Fu Zhun took it speechlessly, but upon looking at it, his eyes widened again.

On the purse, there were only a few crooked and uneven embroidered patterns...

“…Stone?” Fu Zhun raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Pfft!" Zhou Li couldn't help but choke on his saliva, looking at Su An with a mixture of suppressed laughter and shock.

No, boss! I asked you to give me a purse to help strengthen your relationship, what's with the stone embroidery?

Is this an insinuation that his prince is as dull and unromantic as a stone?

Su An met the somewhat petrified gazes of the master and servant, her face flushing red like a tomato.

I was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but these were actually leaves! I meant to wish him a lush and prosperous future!

never mind……

Su An's cheeks flushed, but she quickly remembered something and suddenly regained her confidence, curving her lips slightly.

As she reached for the purse, she scoffed, "If you don't like the purse, fine. I have even better things in my kitchen. Let me show you!"
