The real daughter is really not a human being

Chapter 157 Settlement

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate?" Wei Shiyuan said in embarrassment.

"Yuanniang, please believe me!" Lu Chunyu said as he was about to grab Wei Shiyuan's hand, but was pulled back fiercely by Wei Shiyuan.

Disgusting thing, don't touch him!

"Brother Lu, it's not good for others to see us pulling and tugging!"

"I am sorry for being rude, Yuanniang, please forgive me...but heaven and earth can bear witness to my true love for Yuanniang!" Lu Chunyu said, as if he wanted to swear to the sky.

Wei Shiyuan ignored this and watched Lu Chunyu perform coldly. She saw that he had been performing the monologue for a while before she slowly spoke.

"Brother Lu, why don't you come with me to meet my uncle? Let's put the marriage proposal aside for now. Just let my uncle know that you have this intention." Wei Shiyuan said.

Lu Chunyu shook her head, "No! If I come rashly and without sincerity, your uncle will definitely not marry you to me! Let me prepare a little bit..."

"Brother Lu, how long will it take you to prepare?"

"When my mother recovers from her illness."

The topic turned here again, and Wei Shiyuan wanted to laugh.

She pestered Lu Chunyu for a long time, talking about exchanging tokens of love, and exchanged a valuable jade pendant for Lu Chunyu's personal jade pendant.

Even though Lu Chunyu said the jade pendant was too valuable and refused to accept it, Wei Shiyuan persuaded him and told him that it was just an exchange of a token of love, which reassured him.

After getting the jade pendant, Wei Shiyuan confirmed that there was a word "Lu" on it. Wasn't this evidence in hand?

Next, Wei Shiyuan took Lu Chunyu for a walk nearby and met a few passers-by, so now there were witnesses.

Before parting, Wei Shiyuan said reluctantly: "Brother Lu, where do you live? I have some good ginseng in my warehouse, which is fifty or sixty years old. Do you want me to send it over to nourish your mother?"

Fifty or sixty year old ginseng is not common!

Lu Chunyu pondered for a moment and said, "This ginseng is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"Brother Lu, please accept it. It's a small token of my appreciation. I have a lot of things in my storeroom, and I have several ginsengs like this. Giving it to your aunt to treat her illness is also a small token of my appreciation. I hope your aunt will recover soon."

Seeing Wei Shiyuan's sincerity in her words, and hearing her say that these things were not worth much, he accepted them as a matter of course, and never mentioned spending money on them.

"Yuanniang, you are so kind to my mother, I will never let you down in the future!"

"Brother Lu, you are so nice."

Wei Shiyuan waved her handkerchief as she got into the carriage. As soon as the curtain of the carriage fell, her face changed.

"I should have kicked him into the lake just now! A man like that, full of hypocrisy! And so calculating! Why was I so blind at the time?" Wei Shiyuan said with regret, and hit her head.

Yaoguang witnessed Wei Shiyuan's entire performance and blinked, saying, "Don't worry, you'll have another chance to kick him later."

Wei Shiyuan nodded fiercely, "Sister, you are right."

After letting Lu Chunyu go back, Wei Shiyuan waited quietly for a while, contacted him by letter as usual, and even sent him a ginseng.

The ginseng was not bought from outside, but was already available in the warehouse. No one knew where it was sent from. Now Wei Shiyuan was in charge of the warehouse in the mansion, so she just picked out the ugliest one from the pile of ginseng and sent it over.

Lu Chunyu was very happy to receive the ginseng, and for the first time he wrote the longest letter in history to Wei Shiyuan.

Wei Shiyuan didn't even look at it, she just crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the incense burner.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Lu Chunyu's servants took the ginseng out the next day and went to the medicine shop in the capital to ask for the price. After learning the real price of ginseng, they did not sell it.

Before Wei Shiyuan made any move, Lu Chunyu sent another message, asking Wei Shiyuan to go out to discuss the marriage proposal.

"You come here to discuss marriage now? Do you think my family still has extra money and want to get the best of both worlds?" Wei Shiyuan said with her hands on her hips.

The fact was just as Wei Shiyuan thought. After Lu Chunyu returned, he had a very painful struggle in his heart.

He had some feelings for Wei Shiyuan. Wei Shiyuan was good-looking, knowledgeable in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and considerate. But it was a pity that she was the daughter of a merchant, had no parents, and lived in her uncle's home.

Look at Miss Lu, she is the daughter of an official family. The Lu family is looking for a son-in-law. If he marries Miss Lu, Lord Lu will naturally promote him in his official career.

It’s just that the Lu family is poor and doesn’t have that much money, or it could be said that the family’s money will not fall into his hands, and will only be managed by Miss Lu in the future.

Wei Shiyuan is different!

He originally thought that Wei Shiyuan was just the daughter of an ordinary small merchant, but he didn't expect that her family had so much money that any gift she gave could be worth a hundred taels of silver.

Judging from her words, she didn't seem to care much when she mentioned these gifts, so she must have a lot of money.

But no matter how much money she has, she is still a merchant girl after all!

Lu Chunyu couldn't bear to give up the power of the Lu family, nor could he bear to give up Wei Shiyuan's money. In his opinion, being an official also requires money. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two could be combined?

He would just deal with Wei Shiyuan perfunctorily first. At worst, he would take her back to his hometown to get married. After she became pregnant, he would let her stay in her hometown to raise the child.

He told Miss Lu that he was going back to visit his relatives, and would be away for a year or two before coming back, and then become the son-in-law of the Lu family. He was caught by both sides.

In time, when the children on both sides grow up and the old man of the Lu family hands over everything to him, it will be no problem for him to take Wei Shiyuan over.

Lu Chunyu had a good idea and was even thinking about how to trick Wei Shiyuan into returning to his hometown to get married.

Just like that, when the two met again, Lu Chunyu came with some sincerity.

I brought some cloth and a hairpin for Wei Shiyuan, which looked a bit old.

Lu Chunyu said to Wei Shiyuan: "My mother's illness has improved a lot. She asked me to bring this to you. These cloths are selling well nowadays. She said she wanted to make two sets of clothes for you. And this hairpin was passed down by my grandmother and left to my future daughter-in-law..."

"Really? My aunt treats me so well." Wei Shiyuan looked at the hairpin, her eyes lit up and she immediately grabbed it in her hand, looking like she liked it very much.

She saw that the pattern was popular in the past few years, but the hairpin was not well preserved and the gold wrapped around it had turned black.

Could it be that Miss Lu didn’t like it and threw it out?

Seeing that Wei Shiyuan was happy, Lu Chunyu mentioned the betrothal gift and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to get married.

Wei Shiyuan naturally agreed to everything and looked like she was deeply in love with Lu Chunyu.

However, there still needs to be an explanation for this betrothal gift.

It has to be given in the capital!
