Lu Ke'er took a quick glance and saw that the two people who walked in were both scholars, wearing hats, wide robes, medium build, and less than 20 years old. She didn't care much. But she saw that the shopkeeper Li showed an embarrassment on his face when he looked at her.

"Miss, I'm so sorry. This inkstone was reserved in advance by Mr. Su, so I can't sell it to you."

Mr. Su?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Lu Ke'er turned around and looked.

Just then, Mr. Su's gaze was directed over here.

When he saw Lu Ke'er's face clearly, Master Su suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Lu Ke'er!" he cried in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

As if he had thought of something, he glared at her angrily: "Why don't you give up? We have already called off the engagement, and you actually came here to wait for me? Do you think I will change my mind if you keep pestering me like this? Stop daydreaming!"

Lu Ke'er was almost laughing out of anger.

I've seen shameless people, but I'm still disgusted by this scumbag named Su.

"Su Qizheng, it is important for a person to know himself! You are a scholar after all, please take a piss and look at yourself! Are you as handsome as Pan An or a scholar? Are you as rich as a country or powerful as the world? You look like an ordinary person, the kind that you can't even find in a crowd. And, isn't it your scholar father that you have been showing off? This scholar may be a hot commodity in our town, but outside this small Jinji Town, what is he?"

"You...you..." Su Qi was shocked. He stared at Lu Ke'er in shock.

Is this still the peasant girl who only has him in her heart and only cares about him? Is this still the little girl who dares not speak loudly in front of him and is submissive to him for fear of making him angry?

When did she become so eloquent, so sharp-tongued, so...unrestrained?

Jiang Bo, his companion who had entered the shop with him, nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "Lu Ke'er? Brother Su, is this the ex-fiancée you always hated? She's not as ugly as you said. She's pretty."

He is just beautiful.

Even Su Qizheng had to admit that this ex-fiancee gave him a huge shock and impact today. Not only a psychological shock, but also a visual shock.

The girl who always lowered her head and could hardly see her face before now raised her head confidently, revealing her beautiful face. Her skin seemed to be a little whiter than before. Of course, this was not what impressed him most. The most outstanding thing was her pair of phoenix eyes, which seemed like sunlight shining on the lake, dazzling the sparkling water.

In her half-smiling, half-sarcastic look, he seemed to see the ridiculous and despicable self.

It's only been a few days, how could she have changed so much?

Lu Ke'er ignored him and turned to Shopkeeper Li and said, "Shopkeeper, since this inkstone has been reserved, I don't want it. Please help me find another one."

Seeing that she was reasonable, Shopkeeper Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay. I'll choose for you right away. Although we don't have many stone inkstones in our store, each one is good. Girl, take a look, what do you think of this one?"

He found a ribbed stone inkstone and handed it to Lu Ke'er.

Lu Ke'er looked at it carefully. Although this inkstone was not as good as the Songhua stone inkstone, it was still a good inkstone because of its tough stone and fine texture.

"Boss, how much is this inkstone?" she asked.

"Eight hundred coins."

Lu Ke'er thought it was not expensive and was about to pay for it, but Su Qizheng said sarcastically, "Lu Ke'er, doesn't your family owe a lot of debt? Do you have money to buy an inkstone? Do you know anything about inkstones?"

Lu Ke'er frowned slightly and glanced at him unhappily: "Whether I have money to buy an inkstone or whether I know anything about inkstones has nothing to do with you. Aren't you meddling too much?"

"You!" Su Qizheng's face turned very ugly, "It's really only women and villains that are difficult to raise!"

"Haha, although I am a woman, I also know the principles of gratitude and keeping promises. You are a man, but you despise the poor and love the rich, and you are treacherous. It's really disgusting! Have you read all the books?" Lu Ke'er's words were like swords, stabbing at Su Qizhen.

Su Qizheng's face had turned the color of liver.

He had always looked down on Lu Ke'er. When they got engaged, he was still young, only seven years old, and Lu Ke'er was only two years old. He had no idea what it meant to be well-matched and in love. As he grew up, he followed his father to the Lu family several times and met Lu Ke'er several times. He was full of disappointment. When he mentioned that there was a peasant girl as his fiancée, his classmates and friends laughed at him. Over time, he became disgusted with this country fiancée.

He didn't understand why his father wanted to marry a farmer. When he asked his father, his father said that Lu Ke'er's father had saved his life, and the Lu family was not like an ordinary farmer at the time, so his father thought that they were a rare commodity, so he took the initiative to propose a marriage. But who knew that Lu's father was later injured and paralyzed. From then on, the Lu family was ruined, leaving behind three women and children, and it was impossible for them to make a comeback. His father thought that this marriage was not worth it, and was worried that the Su family would be dragged down by the Lu family in the future, so he decisively broke off the engagement.

On the day of the broken engagement, he did not go to Lingxia Village with his father.

Since ancient times, marriage has been based on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. He didn't think his father was wrong, he was even grateful that his father finally decided to cancel the engagement. From then on, he no longer had to be tied to this vulgar and ugly village girl.

His father was a scholar, and he started to learn at the age of three. He was determined to gain fame and honor since he was young. In the future, he would pass the imperial examination and become an official, a man admired by everyone. His wife would definitely be a lady from a wealthy family, not a peasant girl.

Yes, it couldn't be the farm girl in front of him. Even if this farm girl was pretty, she had no family background and no background. She was not worthy of him now, and would not be able to help him in the future. Moreover, this woman was sharp-tongued and had no respect for women's virtues. How could she be virtuous?

Thinking of this, Su Qizheng felt better. He glared at Lu Ke'er and snorted, "I won't argue with you, a savage woman. If you can't afford this inkstone later, don't even think about borrowing money from me."

"Haha." Lu Ke'er didn't even bother to glance at him and asked Shopkeeper Li, "Shopkeeper, could you please calculate the total price of this inkstone together with the items I selected earlier?"

"Okay." Shopkeeper Li said as he counted on his abacus, "Ten sheets of white paper, eighty coins, two brushes, five hundred coins, ink... plus the inkstone, a total of two taels of silver plus fifty coins. I'll give you the exact two taels."

Jiang Bo, who was watching the whole thing, quietly asked Su Qizheng: "Does your ex-fiancée have so much money? Didn't you say her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat?"

Su Qizheng sneered in a low voice: "Ignorant woman! Just wait and see, she will cry soon."
