Chapter 1037: 1036 monthly tickets plus update 18 Chapter 1037: 1036 monthly tickets plus update 18 Yue’er’s voice, lodious as the music of the heavens, echoed in his ears; he still rembered how his nervousness about using pen and ink had wasted a piece of pure white rice paper, and Yue’er had smiled and said it didn’t matter…
Perhaps a bucket of cold water truly did awaken him— not just from his drunkenness, but also his heart.
When he thought of Yue’er’s ordinary face while applying the dicine, he now found it incomparably beautiful.

He couldn’t understand how he ever fancied Li Rong’er, even once thinking her more beautiful than Yue’er?
Now he was clear; he had been montarily blinded by Li Rong’er’s beauty.
Even if Yue’er was plain and not a ravishing beauty of today, the person in his heart was still Yue’er.
He was just bewildered by beauty, that’s all.
“Brother Xiao, what are you writing?” Li Rong’er noticed his montary distraction, unsure what he was thinking— that resolute face seed so tender.
Surely he wasn’t thinking of that wretched Su Qingyue?
“I’ll write it myself, later you just need to sign and press your handprint,” Xiao Yishan returned to his senses and hastily wrote on the pure white rice paper with his pen.
“What requires my handprint…” Her confusion rose, along with an ominous premonition, and her eyes widened as he finished writing.
His handwriting was average, crude, but without any mistakes.
To her astonishnt, he had written a deed of sale, stating clearly that because Xiao Yishan paid her twenty taels of debt, she, Li Rong’er, would voluntarily sell herself into servitude.
She began to tremble all over.
After finishing, he said to her coldly, “Rong’er, didn’t you say you were devoted to and willing to serve as a slave at the Xiao Family?”
“I…” She forced a smile, “I am willing.
But you also said you would marry …”
“I did say I would marry you,” he didn’t deny, “If you are truly devoted to without reservation, then sign this slave contract.
After all, you owe twenty taels of silver.
Next ti I have a mont, we’ll go to the town’s governnt office with your slave contract for Household Marriage Registration.”
Li Rong’er felt that Xiao Yishan was scheming against her—how could she possibly sign such a thing, “Brother Xiao, we can register our marriage without a slave contract…”
“Everyone in the village says you love my money and fields.
If you won’t sign to prove otherwise, how can I believe you?”
“I…” Tears began to fall, as she launched into a tearful offensive, “Brother Xiao, I truly love only you, I don’t care whether you have fields or not.
Knowing you were involved with Liu Haitang, my heart nearly broke…”
“Don’t beat around the bush.
Your reluctance to sign ans you won’t commit.
I, Xiao Yi, am no fool,” Xiao Yishan said sarcastically, “You served as a Maid in the Fang Mansion; what man with wealth doesn’t have many concubines?
I rely paid you a complint, and you truly believed you were noble?”
She was so angry she trembled all over, yet she couldn’t stop the tears.
“Don’t think I don’t know, you claim you don’t care about the fields in my na, say you don’t care about this new house, it’s all nonsense.
I believed your tears once, do you think I would still trust you after that?”
“Brother Xiao…” Her face turned an unnatural shade of white.
“Since I’ve made myself clear today, let’s not have any more pretense,” Xiao Yishan said with a cold expression, “Either get out now and never show your face to again—we’ll be square—or if you wish to stay at the Xiao Family, press your handprint on this deed of sale as you said.
If you behave well, I’ll marry you as promised.
If not, just leave.”
