The woman in white smiled as she looked at Du San Niang.
Du Sanniang had long since lost her girlish shyness. She sat down and looked at Lu Zheng with a smile: "General Lu, there's no need to bother preparing a gift. I don't love anything else in my life but money. If General Lu wants to give me this as a gift, it will surely touch my heart."
The woman in white raised an eyebrow: "Third Miss, if you say that, General Lu will definitely ask you about the wedding date immediately. Don't give me your whole life just for money."
Du Sanniang turned to look at the man in white: "Young Master Bai, do you think you're not capable of spending your life with me?"
After saying that, Du Sanniang looked at Lu Zheng again: "Then forget it, General Lu, just pretend I didn't say that."
White-robed: "..."
"Hahahaha..." Lu Zheng was overjoyed to see Bai Yi suffer a setback. "Alright then, I'll still give you money when Boss Du marries someone else."
Du Sanniang nodded: "Then I'll accept without hesitation. Third Miss, Fifth Miss, and Prince Ahai must be my witnesses!"
Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Cheng Huaijin nodded: "Okay!"
“That won’t do!” the man in white said slowly. “As the saying goes, ‘Don’t let the good stuff go to outsiders.’ Since this money is going to be given away anyway, why not give it to our own family? So, Third Sister, marry me. If you marry someone else, General Lu and Third Sister will give less. If you marry me, they will give more. Then all the money in our family will be under your control. Think about it, all crows are black, and all men are the same. Since you can receive more gifts by marrying me, why marry someone else? Marrying me will bring you at least double the happiness.”
Du Sanniang: "!"
Gu Xin and the others: "!"
Is this something an ordinary person would say?
Someone with a thick skin wouldn't say something like that.
The man in white continued, “What kind of betrothal gifts does Third Miss want? As long as Third Miss can name it, I, a mere black crow, am better than others and can make it happen. As the saying goes, a woman's marriage must be arranged by her parents and a matchmaker. But Third Miss has already experienced the arrangement of parents and a matchmaker once, so this time she can make her own decision. If Third Miss agrees, I, in white, will immediately go to Jiangnan to propose marriage to your parents-in-law and brothers-in-law. Even if we don't need the arrangement of parents and a matchmaker, we will still go through the proper procedures. What do you think, Third Miss?”
Du San Niang pursed her lips, came back to her senses, and calmly said, "Not so."
The woman in white said, "Third Miss just mentioned that she likes silver. How about I go and bring over some silver from my home now, and give her part of the betrothal gifts first? What do you think, Third Miss?"
Du Sanniang: "..."
Look, this is what a rogue is. A rogue doesn't understand what you're saying; he only needs to know what he's saying.
Gu Xin said, "Baiyi, I remember you exchanged all your previous spoils for silver, right? You didn't want any silver notes, did you?"
The man in white said, "It's like this, Third Miss. I found out that you like silver, so I was afraid that one day you'd ask for a certain amount of silver as a betrothal gift and I wouldn't be able to afford it! So, I converted it all into silver. I even built a basement next door, and it's completely full! Third Miss, please have pity on me and help me manage this silver gathering dust underground, okay? For the sake of the silver, could you marry me?"
