Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699 Becoming One of Us
“Hmph, it’s not that no one dares to want , it’s just that those n don’t deserve .” Ina snorted coldly.
Over the years, she did date a few n, but found them all diocre, increasingly beneath her standards, and thus kicked them aside. Among them, she had physical relations with two. Unfortunately, these two n couldn’t accept being dumped and spread the word that she was no longer a virgin, which utterly shad her.
Coincidentally, she hadn’t found anyone to her liking either.
Now an outlander, Xiao Yuchuan, had arrived, unaware of her past. Even if he learned about it later, it would be too late. Besides, judging by what Ke Mo said, Xiao Yuchuan cherished that woman nad Su, and for her sake, he would surely plead with her.
This Mr. Xiao was evidently either rich or noble. According to Ke Mo, the accommodation fee he paid amounted to as much as fifty taels, quite generous indeed.
Furthermore, his jade pendant hanging from his waist was of such exquisite quality that even she, a layperson, could see its imnse value, which she found very satisfying.
Ke Lince was nearly driven mad by his daughter’s antics. “Ke Mo has a blind old lady, but he doesn’t mind your loss of purity… Alas, when will you ever get married at this rate?”
“Dad, don’t worry, this ti your daughter will definitely find a good son-in-law for you. But for that, I’ll need your cooperation.”
…
Ke Mo heard that Su Qingyue had been bitten by the Iron Wire Gu. Out of concern, since she was staying at his ho, he was quite anxious. Unaware that Su Qingyue’s injury was already under control, he spoke outside Xiao Yuchuan’s room, “Young Master Xiao, this Iron Wire Gu is not ordinary. Your fiancée has been bitten for over the ti it takes to burn two sticks of incense. I’m afraid it’s incurable now, but there is a kind of dicine made from Ten Fragrant Leaves that can control the poison.”
“Really incurable?” Xiao Yuchuan feigned urgency. He and his wife had agreed to keep their self-treatnt under wraps for now, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.
“There’s no cure for this parasitic poison. Only the village head has the dicine made from Ten Fragrant Leaves to control the poison. I’ll go ask him for it.” Ke Mo, being straightforward and honest, turned to leave for the village head’s house.
“I’ll go with you.” Xiao Yuchuan followed up.
The two walked under their umbrellas, one after the other, to the house of the village head, Ke Lince.
“Village head, the fiancée of Young Master Xiao, who is staying at my house, Miss Su, was bitten by the Iron Wire Gu. Please hurry and save her.” Ke Mo’s face was full of urgency.
Ke Lince, however, coldly glanced at Xiao Yuchuan, “You know, the village has rules—we don’t save outsiders.”
“But Miss Su was bitten while staying at my house…” Ke Mo knelt and begged, “Please, save Miss Su.”
“Begging won’t help,” Ke Lince discreetly assessed Xiao Yuchuan, seeing his dignified deanor and outstanding appearance, either rich or noble, the more he looked, the more satisfied he beca. Such a man was suitable for his daughter, “The rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed.”
“A life is at stake, village head…”
“If it were a villager, naturally we’d help, but outsiders we won’t. You may leave now.” Ke Lince remained unmoved.
“What will it take for the village head to save my wife?” Xiao Yuchuan got straight to the point.
“Your wife?” Ke Lince raised his authoritative brows, “I recall it was reported by Ke Mo this evening that you and Miss Su aren’t married.”
Xiao Yuchuan, too tired to explain, simply said, “Na a condition. Whatever the amount, I’ll pay you.”
“I, Ke, am not a greedy one.” Ke Lince put on a facade of integrity, “I can save your fiancée, but I can’t do anything that defies our ancestors’ decree for an outsider. So, beco one of us, and I can save your fiancée.”
