Lu Ze was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect to hear such a complaint from Lin Suisui. He couldn’t help but laugh.

“No. She probably didn’t choose me because she was interested in me. I guess I’m less attractive to her than our ox cart.”

“How can you talk like that?!”

Lin Suisui didn’t expect Lu Ze to say such self-deprecating words. She couldn’t help but laugh. “However, don’t men like women like her?!”

When she was still a doctor, she had often seen wives being outwitted by these seemingly fragile girls.

There were even a few times when the evidence that the mistress had poisoned and harmed the wife was conclusive. However, it was unknown what had possessed the monarch, but he always insisted that it was a misunderstanding. He didn’t believe that his fragile and kind-hearted mistress would do such a vicious thing!

“I’m probably different from those people.” Lu Ze turned to look at the little girl, who kept glancing at him with sparkling eyes but pretended to be calm as she nibbled on the rabbit leg to hide it. He thought for a moment and said seriously, “I admire women who stab people with golden hairpins twice without successfully stabbing people to death!”

“Pfft… Cough, cough, cough!”

Lin Suisui didn’t expect Lu Ze to say this. She almost choked. Looking at her miserable appearance as she coughed, Lu Ze couldn’t be bothered to joke with her anymore. He quickly put down the half-eaten rabbit meat in his hand and patted her back to calm her down as he said helplessly, “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk when eating next time!”

Lin Suisui was so angry that her eyes turned red. She turned around and glared at him with what she thought was the fiercest gaze. If not for his shocking words just now, would she have choked so badly?!

Little did Lin Suisui know that she actually looked harmless in Lu Ze’s eyes. She looked like a flustered rabbit. She was so cute that he couldn’t help but want to reach out and pinch her cheeks.

Yes, perhaps it should be said that she looked like a squirrel with bulging cheeks!

At dinner, the atmosphere in the Du family wasn’t so relaxed.

Although Du Miao’er had tried her best to hide it, when she returned, her eyes were clearly red and she looked disheveled. Her family knew the outcome of her trip without even guessing.

Before Du Wangshi could speak, Du Ling’er, who had always been at odds with her, couldn’t help but mock her. Even though she was mocked, Du Miao’er could only lower her head and swallow her tears.

Du Ling’er was Du Wangshi’s daughter. If she dared to do anything to Du Ling’er, the Du family would probably immediately come over and teach her a lesson.

For now, she could only endure it.

“Why? Does Gu Erlang not like you?!”

During the meal, Du Wangshi naturally didn’t hide it and threw a tantrum in front of the entire family. She was already vulgar to begin with. Now that she had an excuse, she didn’t hide her disgust for her two stepdaughters and criticized them sarcastically.

“As the saying goes, hard work pays off. If it doesn’t work the first time, do it twice. You’ll definitely find a way!” Du Miao’er looked up. After thinking for a while, she calmed down.

If she had only treated Gu Erlang as a backup in the past, then everything she had seen and encountered today was enough to make her determined to get this man!

“How can you say such things? Aren’t you being shameless?!” Du Wangshi originally thought that her sarcastic words would make the girl in front of her accept her fate and obediently agree to her arrangement to marry that butcher in exchange for money. She didn’t expect her usually meek stepdaughter to say such shocking words.

“That’s because you don’t know what I saw when I went over today! I saw the banknotes in Gu Erlang’s hand! That stack should have at least a few thousand taels!”

Du Miao’er’s knuckles that were holding the chopsticks turned pale because she was holding them too tightly. Of course, she understood that it was very risky to expose all of this to the Du family, but she was too weak now. She had to get Du Wangshi’s help and cooperation!

“What did you say?!” When Du Wangshi heard this, she immediately perked up.

It wasn’t only the Du family. The Du family members, who were originally focused on eating and pretending to be invisible, also looked up at Du Miao’er like wolves that had seen raw meat.

A few thousand taels of silver!

If these silver could be theirs…

“I said that Gu Erlang has at least a few thousand taels of silver in his hands!” Du Miao’er looked up and calmly met the eager gazes of her family. She replied with certainty, “I vaguely heard that this sum of silver was rewarded by Mr. Pei because Madam Liu helped to deal with the plague this time.”

“Mr. Pei is very generous. If it’s really him who gave it to them, a few thousand taels of silver might be too little!” Before Du Wangshi could say anything, , who was sitting on her left, couldn’t help but interrupt excitedly. “Who knows, when they reach the base, he might reward Gu Erlang with an assignment or something!

“If Miao’er can really marry him, won’t our family have a much better life in the future?!”

“But isn’t the person dealing with the plague Madam Liu? What does this have to do with Gu Erlang?!” Du Ling’er snorted and said disdainfully, “Gu Erlang is a coward who only knows how to rely on his wife!”

“Ling’er, shut up!” Du Wangshi turned around and scolded Du Ling’er. Then, she turned to look at Du Miao’er. “Although your sister’s words are unpleasant, it’s the truth!

“Everyone knows that the person who knows medicine is Madam Liu. The Gu Erlang you like has done nothing but follow his wife around every day! Where did he get the money?!”

“Of course it was given to him by Madam Liu! I saw it with my own eyes. Madam Liu didn’t leave any of the banknotes behind. She handed them all to Gu Erlang!”

Du Miao’er thought of the scene she had just seen behind the carriage and couldn’t help but feel tempted. She also couldn’t help but feel that Lin Suisui was stupid!

If it were her, she would have kept the large sum of money for herself! Unlike Lin Suisui, who actually handed it all to Gu Erlang without any hesitation!
