On this day, Huo Beixuan was very drunk and was beaten and scolded by the waiter of the winery because he owed money for wine.

Ning Xue was hiding in the dark, unable to bear the situation. Seeing that it was already night and no one was in the alley, she ran out to stop it.

"Do you want to beat him to death? He just owes you some money for drinks."

Ning Xue wore a veiled hat and took out a silver ingot from her bosom. "From now on, I will pay for his wine. Don't beat him anymore."

"It's you again, you vicious woman. Whoever wants your money, take it away!"

Naturally, the servant would not listen to Huo Beixuan. He tightly grasped the silver, quickly responded with a yes, and ran away.

Huo Beixuan stood up unsteadily, "Yun'er, my Yun'er, can you forgive me?"

When Ning Xue heard this, she felt upset again.

"Huo Beixuan, Yunshang is no longer yours. You have cancelled your engagement. You need to wake up."

Huo Beixuan accidentally knocked over the veil, and Ning Xue's face was full of jealousy, anger and hatred, which was clearly seen by Huo Beixuan.

Huo Beixuan, who had been pretending to be drunk, fell down, with turbulent waves in his heart.

If it was true, this vicious woman was really attracted to him. In order to get him, she was willing to break his wings so that he could not fly high, just to win his heart.

Fortunately, Yun'er was not forced into becoming her concubine, and fortunately, Yun'er was able to let it go and escape early.

"Yun'er." This affectionate murmur aroused Ning Xue's raging anger.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, she is the only one in your eyes. Don't you realize how good I am to you?"

Ning Xue was filled with indignation and yelled at the drunk Huo Beixuan. She knew it was futile to argue with a drunk, but she still couldn't get over the anger.

Ning Xue gritted her teeth in hatred and said, "Sooner or later, I will make your Yun'er worse than even a concubine."

At this moment, Huo Beixuan's heart skipped a beat and he felt that the situation was not good. He knew very well that in front of the vicious Ning Xue, he must not mention Yun'er again, nor show the slightest kindness to Yun'er, otherwise Yun'er would definitely be retaliated against.

So, he deliberately pretended to be resentful and muttered softly: "Yun'er, why don't you believe me? I really have nothing to do with Zi Lan."

"Yun'er, we have been friends for many years, and you treat me like this. I, I, I don't want you anymore." His voice became lower and lower, and finally he was drunk and unconscious.

Ning Xue took out a silver ingot with an angry look on his face and asked the people from the winery to help him back.

Two days later, at the Yun Mansion, a matchmaker came in a hurry. This matchmaker was very ostentatious and even placed eight boxes directly in front of the Yun Mansion's door.

Yunmu didn't understand what was going on, but she still politely invited the matchmaker into her house.

In the hall, the matchmaker drank a sip of tea, then congratulated Yunmu with a smile on her face.

"Mrs. Yun, congratulations! A noble from the outskirts of Beijing has taken a liking to your daughter."

The matchmaker said with great joy, "Look, they specially asked me to come and propose marriage!"

"Look at the eight loads of gifts outside the door. It's just a gift for meeting the young lady. They say it's for her to add some hairpins and flowers to wear."

"These eight sets of gifts are filled with gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and all the things girls like."

"That gentleman is really generous and magnanimous. When my young lady marries him in the future, she will surely enjoy a happy and blissful life."

At this moment, someone came to propose marriage. Yunmu was very surprised. After all, her daughter's bad reputation was a fact. Even if there was a respectable family interested in her, they should wait until the rumors died down before making any decision.

Yunmu asked cautiously, "Mr. from the suburbs?"

"Yes, yes, the gentleman from the suburbs."

"What's your name?"

"Mr. Qin! He is the one who is known as a great philanthropist, the one who often opens his warehouse to provide relief when the autumn harvest is poor." The matchmaker said with a smile, waving her fan cheerfully.

The matchmaker had just arrived with such a big fanfare that Liu Meir came anxiously to report in the backyard.

"Miss, a matchmaker has come to propose marriage. In my opinion, someone who comes to propose marriage at this time of great success must have bad intentions."

If anyone dares to poach her master so blatantly, she will have to find a chance to go back and report to the princess.

The master's heart, which had been as cold as ice for thousands of years, was attracted to a woman for the first time, but he must not let anyone snatch her away.

Yun Shang frowned at first, then said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's just a marriage proposal, not an engagement. My mother is not stupid."

"But I'm also curious, who is going to propose marriage now? Let's go and take a look."

Yun Shang stood up. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually someone who would not allow anyone to manipulate her.

Seeing that she has a bad reputation, all kinds of people want to bully her, but that's not acceptable!

They walked to the hall and hid outside the door to listen. They saw the matchmaker praising Mr. Qin to the skies, as if he was the best in the world.

"Mr. Qin! He owns dozens of acres of fertile land and several hilltops, and the rent he collects is enough to comfort him."

"He is also a kind person, a well-known good man. If the young lady marries him, she will have servants to serve her and no worries about food and clothing. Mr. Qin is also a man who loves his wife and is handsome. I wonder how many girls outside the capital are looking forward to marrying him."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Meir, and asked if she knew Mr. Qin.

Liu Meir nodded, she naturally knew.

There is nothing she doesn't know about among all the merchants in the capital.

Yun Shang smiled and slowly walked into the hall.

When the matchmaker saw Yun Shang, she smiled and walked forward, "Oh, this must be Miss Yun! Gao is really as beautiful as a fairy."

Yun Shang smiled faintly and sat down. "Compared to you, the matchmaker, you are indeed as beautiful as a fairy."

The matchmaker was startled, paused for a moment, and then continued with a smile: "Ms. Yun really loves to joke."

"No, I don't like to joke at all. I'm a very dull person, extremely boring."

Yun Shang said calmly: "I heard that the matchmaker came to propose marriage for me. I am really curious, which young man wants to marry me?"

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment when she saw Yunchang, an unmarried girl, asking her about marriage so bluntly in public without any shyness.

"Why, matchmaker, aren't you here to propose marriage? Why are you in a daze?"

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and immediately showed her eloquence.

With a big smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Qin from the suburbs fell in love with you, Miss Yun, at first sight, and he specially asked me to come to your house to propose marriage."

"Look, there are eight loads of gifts outside the door, all prepared for you, young lady. They are said to be for you to add hairpins and ornaments. They are full of gold, silver and jewels, as well as countless exquisite jewelry and gorgeous clothes. Mr. Qin is really generous! If you marry him in the future, you will definitely live a good life with endless wealth and splendor."

The matchmaker was beaming with joy and repeated exactly what she had just said to Yunmu, with a smug look on her face.

Yun Shang just smiled faintly and said, "Really? Then I really need to take a good look at how valuable his gift is and how sincere it is." After saying that, she walked towards the door.

Seeing this, the matchmaker was reluctant but had no choice but to follow behind.

Yunmu wanted to go with them, but Liu Meier stopped her. Liu Meier quickly said, "Madam, the young lady said that she will handle this matter herself."

Yunmu looked worried and hesitated, "But... it's not a good idea to let a woman handle the marriage proposal."

Liu Meier consoled her, "Madam, the young lady's reputation is not very good to begin with. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to let her handle it herself."

Yunmu frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she finally nodded and said, "Okay."
