"I was deliberately exaggerating, so what? If you're not satisfied, go to the yamen and sue me!" Wǎnníng retorted righteously.
Xǔ Luòchuān had nothing to say and could only apologize.
Gǒu Shèng curled his lips, "You know a few dirty tricks, and you use them on ordinary folk. Now you're even using the language of a deadbeat. What hope is there for the future?"
Xǔ Luòchuān's way of apologizing was very domineering, he directly pressured Wǎnníng and did that and this. Afterward, Wǎnníng kindly drew a big picture, "Husband, just wait until I'm flying high, and I'll take more concubines for you, marry a few equal wives, and as a friendly gift, I'll give you a few more divine pills. It will definitely make you feel your life wasn't lived in vain!"
Xǔ Luòchuān's expression turned dark, and he gritted his teeth, asking, "You're really generous. What about you?"
Wǎnníng couldn't tell good from bad and happily planned, "Me? Of course, I'll live with my gold and silver. You don't need to pity me; this is all I deserve."
Then Wǎnníng tasted the power of the villain described in novels!
How could life be the same with anyone? Divorce, it must be divorce!!
After that day, Xǔ Luòchuān became busy again, constantly attending banquets, with visitors coming and going from the house. Some of them didn't look like scholars. What was this villain planning?
"Rebellion!" Gǒu Shèng declared with certainty.
Wǎnníng cautiously asked, "Elder, do you have insider information? Where were you eavesdropping?"
Gǒu Shèng proudly stated, "I admit there was a gambling element involved!"
Wǎnníng: "...\..." Get lost! You're acting like you're sick!
"Madam, the Song Family's young madam's carriage is parked outside. She's arguing with the gatekeeper, saying she wants to come in to speak with you."
No calling card, no prior notice, just showing up unannounced. This is truly impolite.
Wǎnníng was about to say to find an excuse to turn her away when she heard Zhèng Xīnrán's clueless voice from outside, "Sister, are you not planning to see me? What are you afraid of?"
Wǎnníng: "..........."
There was no choice, so she had to get up and go to the main hall to receive her guest. This day was just endless.
As soon as Zhèng Xīnrán saw Wǎnníng, before Wǎnníng could speak, she blurted out, "I've come to congratulate you."
"? Is your husband taking a concubine? Come asking me for gift money? Then I don't have any!" Wǎnníng quickly refused.
Zhèng Xīnrán: ".........."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my husband take a concubine? He only has me in his heart!"
"Oh!" Wǎnníng responded perfunctorily.
Zhèng Xīnrán: "........." Hey, it's really hard to continue a conversation with you like this!
Wǎnníng didn't want to make small talk with someone so clueless and got straight to the point, "If you have something to say, say it directly. After I hear it, I'll go to the latrine. Don't waste my time. Don't act like we're intimate friends who can talk about anything; it's just disgusting."
Upon hearing Wǎnníng's words, Zhèng Xīnrán's face turned ashen, and she opened her mouth to curse, but her maid gently tugged at her sleeve, and she restrained her temper.
So, with a stiff expression, she said, "I've come to talk business with you. I know Cold Fragrance Residence is yours, but your husband's family is from humble origins and can't handle such wealth. Why don't you let me have it? My parents and older brother are all skilled businessmen. How about this, we're family now. Don't raise the price. Just for my sake, tell me the recipes and such as well..."
Gǒu Shèng said
