Qiu Yinong was happily eating melon on the side.
After sending Lord Wei away, Zhou Buyan pulled Ji Xueru to sit at the table.
Originally, it was he who invited everyone to the table. He pulled everyone to sit down, and Mu Yunzheng didn't say a word.
"Brother Mu, since you're here, I'll have the waiter bring another table of food. Would you mind if I, your foolish brother, would accompany you to drink and apologize?"
Zhou Buyan clasped his fists happily.
Mu Yunzheng looked at him calmly: "Do you think we can still be friends after things have developed to this point?"
"Why not? It's just a small matter, isn't it?"
"That's what you think. I will not make friends with scum." Mu Yunzheng's words made Zhou Buyan's face change again.
Qiu Yuwan looked at Ji Xueru curiously and asked, "As a girl, why are you plotting against my fiancé like this? Don't you think about the other women in your family?"
Ji Xueru put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked up at Qiu Yuwan, and then her gaze fell on Mu Yunzheng.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Qiu Yinong who was leisurely eating pastries.
"I just can't accept this. After all, I am the legitimate daughter of the Qinyang Mansion's advisor."
"You all come from humble backgrounds, so why do you think you can live a good life and easily find a good marriage just because your brothers and uncles are officials?"
"And yet I have to marry into such a despicable family as a bride. Why? I am unwilling to accept it."
Ji Xueru took another sip of tea before speaking again: "I don't know anyone else, so I've naturally set my sights on your future husband."
"He is indeed a good man. Even after taking Chinese medicine, he was able to knock me out, throw me on the bed and leave."
"But I'm not bad either. Now I have met the man I want to marry, and Mr. Zhou is also a very good man." As he said this, he also flattered Zhou Buyan.
Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "You have a clear goal and are quite frank."
Ji Xueru shaved the hair near her ears, leaned in Zhou Buyan's arms, and smiled happily.
"Only by living more clearly can you get what you want, right?" Ji Xueru said generously.
Qiu Yinong nodded and looked at Zhou Buyan. Seeing that the other party did not react at all, it was obvious that the two of them had already made a deal.
"In that case, I wish Miss Ji all her wishes come true. I will get back what happened today in the future."
Having said that, Qiu Yinong stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, Mu Yunzheng said to Zhou Buyan with a cold face: "From now on, you and I will have no relationship. Take care of yourself."
Zhou Buyan's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and said, "I will get what I want."
"Then let's try it!" Mu Yunzheng said coldly, and pulled Qiu Yuwan out of the private room.
Allen Chu and the two Qiu brothers glanced at the three of them, then stood up and left.
After everyone left, Zhou Buyan pushed Ji Xueru away and said, "I will welcome you as my concubine. This will not change."
"I will give you what you want, and you must remember what you promised me." Zhou Buyan said with a serious face.
Ji Xueru smiled: "Of course, if I really help you get what you want, you also need to promise me that you will grant me the position of co-wife."
"Of course." Zhou Buyan turned around with a cold face and left the private room.
The smile on Ji Xueru's face gradually faded. She sat at the table for a long time, and finally reached out to scratch the hair by her ears.
"So what? People die for money and birds die for food. I just want to get what I want."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
There was a donkey cart waiting next to the restaurant. When Xiaolan saw her coming out, she ran up to her and asked, "Miss, did you succeed?"
"No." Ji Xueru shook her head, and Xiaolan looked disappointed.
Ji Xueru looked at her with a strange expression, then smiled and said, "But I am married to the son of the Dali Temple's official."
"Really, congratulations, girl." Xiaolan was very happy.
Ji Xueru sneered, it turned out that Xiaolan also wanted to climb up.
"Miss, what position did the son of the Dali Temple's Yuwenlang family promise you?" Xiaolan asked excitedly.
Ji Xueru replied indifferently: "I am just the daughter of the master's family. How can I be his legal wife?"
"Then you are a concubine?" Xiaolan asked cautiously.
"My dear concubine." After saying that, she didn't want to pay any more attention to her.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Mother Wei outside the courtyard, angrily cursing: "What a little bitch! I thought she was the daughter of a lawyer, and she must come from a family of scholars."
"I never thought that you would be blinded by wealth and fame just after arriving in the capital. If you want to climb up the social ladder, you should consider whether you are worthy of it."
"My son has a bright future ahead of him. If you look down on him now because he's only a seventh-rank ceremonial official, you'll be out of reach of our Wei family in the future!"
"Who do I think is barking in front of my door?" Ji Xueru said with a cold face, not giving any face at all.
Mother Wei was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at Ji Xueru and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Ji Xueru was wearing a veil on her face, so others couldn't see her face.
Ji Xueru continued, "Since your son has a bright future, why are you still trying to plot against my dowry?"
"We haven't even made an engagement, and we haven't even exchanged engagement letters. How can you claim to be calculating my dowry?"
"That little shabby yard isn't even as good as mine. How come, after you get married, you still want to live in my house?"
When the onlookers heard Ji Xueru's words, they couldn't help but look at Wei's mother with contempt.
Mother Wei looked pale, and she was holding her chest as if she was about to faint.
The old woman from the Wei family quickly supported her, pinching her philtrum with one hand while anxiously calling out, "Old Madam, Old Madam, please don't let anything happen to you."
"Mom, mom, are you okay?" Lord Wei also rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Mother Wei collapsed on the ground, he called out anxiously.
