It's a valuable quality for a person to have self-awareness, but unfortunately, Liu Piaopiao didn't.
Men all want to marry a gentle and virtuous wife, not a monster like her...
Upon hearing this, Manager Hu immediately clapped his hands and cheered.
"Yes, yes, niece Piaopiao is right, let's do it this way!"
Looking at Liu Piaopiao's thick, round, and sturdy waist, and then at her thighs that were as thick as Jing Zhe's waist, Manager Hu could imagine the scene of his small frame being sat on by Liu Piaopiao.
That's exciting!
He immediately agreed: "Aren't you confident in your poetic talent? Don't you think you can win for sure? Then what are you afraid of? If you're going to bet, bet on this; otherwise, don't bet at all!"
Manager Hu could tell that Jing Zhe was young and impetuous, and quite arrogant, especially since he had just won a game and was bursting with confidence, so he couldn't wait to make a bet with him.
Then he won't be in a hurry; we can keep him hanging on a bit.
Then he laughed and said, "Besides, my niece Piaopiao is right. The line of men who want to marry her is practically outside the moat. If you lose and still get to marry her, your ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke! With such a good deal, what are you still thinking about? If I were you, I would agree without even thinking!"
"Manager Hu, thank you and your family. This is such a good thing, I might as well give it to you and you marry Miss Liu!"
"You—this is outrageous!"
Enraged, Manager Hu flung his sleeves and roared, "I'm already so old, how could I possibly marry—besides, Piaopiao is my niece, isn't that against all moral principles?"
Jing Zhe chuckled and said, "Manager Hu, true love knows no age or seniority. Since Manager Hu thinks so highly of Miss Liu, what are we waiting for?"
"Whoosh!"
Jing Zhe's words made everyone burst into laughter.
Are you mocking me or looking down on me?
Liu Piaopiao's skin was already dark, and now her face looked even darker.
Even if Jing Zhe was bold, he wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with a black bear monster. He immediately softened his tone and said, "Miss Liu is so... strong. How could I be worthy of Miss Liu?"
"Leaving aside family background, Miss Liu must have seen what I just witnessed: not only did I insult and mock Manager Hu first, but I also contradicted Miss Liu's father, Prefect Liu. With such a lack of manners, what right do I have to look down on Miss Liu? I am unworthy!"
"You deserve it!"
To everyone's surprise, Liu Piaopiao's face turned from dark to red, and she said excitedly, "I love your straightforward personality! Just like me, you just say what you mean, even if it offends people!"
"..."
What Liu Piaopiao said was true. Because of her family background and appearance, every man in Ruzhou City was obsequious to her.
Only Jing Zhe was truly fierce; she not only scolded Manager Hu, but even her father wasn't spared!
Liu Piaopiao suddenly felt like she was in love...
Jing Zhe was speechless: I've already made fun of myself like this, can't you just leave me alone?
After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "Miss Liu, to be honest, I already have a wife. So I appreciate your kindness, but I must apologize."
As he spoke, he took Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, "This is my wife, so..."
"So what if she's pregnant? Just divorce her!"
But Liu Piaopiao still refused to give up: "Look at her, with her skinny arms and legs, how can she compare to me?"
"..."
In terms of arms and legs, Zhang Xiaoyu is indeed no match for Liu Piaopiao. Not to mention her, even if you add Zhu Xinning or Su Mochen to the mix, they still can't compare!
Jing Zhe quickly shook his head: "I can't compare, but I just like my wife's type, and I'm not a promiscuous person, much less would I start something and then abandon it..."
"Being devoted is good; I like devoted people!"
Liu Piaopiao said generously.
"Then don't divorce her, just make her a concubine!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was speechless for a moment: No wonder she has a big face!
...
"Reporting to Your Highness, Pavilion Master Mu is on his way and should arrive at Juxian Tower in about fifteen minutes!"
Since this was the first time Wuxian Pavilion had sent someone to the Shangyuan Poetry Gathering, and it was the Pavilion Master himself who made the appearance, the organizers attached great importance to it and specially assigned people to pick them up and drop them off.
"Alright, let's all take our seats and prepare to welcome Pavilion Master Mu!"
At the command of the Crown Prince of Yu, the servants of Juxianlou began to busy themselves, simply removing the useless lanterns and moving out a few tables and chairs, arranging them in a row.
"Your Highness, this bet..."
Manager Hu whispered something, implying that Jing Zhe hadn't agreed to their bet yet!
At this point, the Crown Prince of Yu was already getting impatient. Judging from Jing Zhe's appearance, it seemed unlikely that he would agree to such a bet—the Crown Prince of Yu believed that no normal man would agree to it!
He was too lazy to wait any longer. He wanted to show off his skills at the Lantern Festival Poetry Gathering. Why argue with him anymore?
So he waved his hand and said, "Since he doesn't agree, then Manager Hu shouldn't force it! Manager Hu, you might as well suffer a loss!"
"..."
Then she whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, as long as he's still in Ruzhou, he can't escape our grasp! There are many people watching him tonight, and if he doesn't agree, he won't even take the bet. What can we do then? We might as well take the bet. Not only will we embarrass him, but we can also get your ten thousand taels of silver back. Isn't that wonderful?"
Manager Hu nodded; for him, getting the money back was the most important thing! As for Liu Piaopiao, he wouldn't consider her...
With the Crown Prince of Yu so confident, it seems he has the upcoming poetry gathering in his grasp!
"father!"
Liu Piaopiao was very dissatisfied.
"Floating..."
Prefect Liu knew his daughter's temper very well and was afraid she would lose control in public, so he quickly pulled her to a secluded corner: "Piaopiao, the young master has spoken, we must listen to him!"
Moreover, the thought of Jing Zhe talking back to him and making him lose face in public made him furious: "And that person, Piaopiao, saw it too. He was disrespectful to Father, and he's already married, yet he's so naive..."
"I don't care, I don't care, I want him to be my husband!"
Liu Piaopiao, however, wouldn't listen and forcefully interrupted.
"this…"
Prefect Liu had no choice but to steel his heart and say, "Alright, since Piaopiao is willing, then Father agrees! But don't ruin the young master's plans tonight. After the poetry gathering, Father will try his best to keep him here!"
"It's not just about trying our best, it's about making sure he stays!"
"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely!"
A daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket. Although Liu Piaopiao was a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket, Prefect Liu still loved her dearly and immediately assured her: "Don't worry, it won't be long before the world changes. By then, I won't be just a mere prefect anymore. This little thing won't be a problem for me!"
"I don't care about any of that, I want him to be my husband!"
"..."
"Pavilion Master Mu has arrived!"
Just then, someone called out from outside the door.
