The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers
Chapter 258: Rejection
Su Caixia distributed hundreds of buns and her whole body was filled with the smell of buns. After she came back, she immediately washed up, changed her clothes, and then fumigated herself with incense to get rid of the smell.
"Caixia, there's a handsome scholar outside." Zhang Lancao, a young lady from the embroidery workshop, trotted in and asked Su Caixia excitedly, "Is he your fiancé?"
Su Caixia's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense when the fate is still unfinished."
"You gave him so many things. If he didn't like them, he would have refused them long ago. But he didn't refuse, which means he agreed." Zhang Lancao disagreed.
Su Caixia felt guilty. She had returned all the things she had given Tang Yichen before, but for the sake of her reputation, she remained silent when others asked her about them, then gave a shy expression, so that everyone thought Tang Yichen had accepted them. Only she knew that those things were still lying in her box and had not been given away at all.
Only this time, because Tang Yichen was away, she gave the buns to her classmates, and they all accepted and ate them. Now the whole academy knows that she and Tang Yichen have a close relationship. When Tang Yichen returns, he will definitely speak well of her. If Tang Yichen knew that she was such a virtuous woman, he would definitely look at her with new eyes.
Look, isn't this someone taking the initiative to find her?
Su Caixia sat in front of the dressing table, carefully applying rouge and powder. When she was almost done, she excitedly went to the store.
"Brother Yichen..."
Tang Yichen was talking to Tang Sanmei. When he saw Su Caixia appear, he stood up with a dark face.
At this time, the store door was open and customers came in one after another.
Tang Yichen didn't want to say anything in front of so many people, so he pointed to the soy milk shop across the street and said, "I have something to tell you, let's go outside and talk!"
"Okay." Su Caixia lifted the hair by her ear, looked at him shyly, and lowered her head again.
"Third sister, thank you for your hospitality." Tang Yichen said, "Go to Chuan Chuan Xiang when you have time. Yinyin and Luwu miss you very much."
Tang Sanmei nodded repeatedly.
Tang Yichen took Su Caixia out, picked a seat at the soy milk shop, asked the boss for soy milk, and then said to Su Caixia, "Here are two taels of silver, which should be enough."
"Brother Yichen, what do you mean?" Su Caixia looked hurt.
Tang Yichen looked at her calmly. "You're so smart, how could you not know what I mean? Su Caixia, because you're a woman, I haven't made my words clear until today. I didn't realize how foolish my indecision was. Listen carefully, I have no interest in you, whether you take the imperial examination or not. Don't do unnecessary things in the future. Otherwise, I won't give you face. I will also make it clear to your parents so that they won't have any chance to misunderstand."
"Brother Yichen, how could you do this to me?" Su Caixia stood up suddenly, staring at him with red eyes. "I'm so good to you, why do you look down on me?"
"Do I have to be attracted to anyone who treats me well? What's more, your so-called kindness is not what I want, nor am I asking you to do so. Your so-called kindness will only bring me trouble. I don't care what your purpose is, just don't appear in front of me again. I have already made it clear to my classmates at the academy, and they also know that we have no relationship. Across the street is your embroidery workshop, and I didn't want to make things too awkward, so I didn't explain it to you there. If you want me to explain it more clearly, I can come over now."
"Brother Yichen, please stop talking. I understand." Su Caixia covered her face and cried. "I won't bother you anymore."
Su Caixia left crying.
The owner of the soy milk shop brought the soy milk over, looked at Su Caixia who ran away, and said, "Young man, why did you make a girl cry? You are so ungraceful."
"Here's the money for the soy milk." Tang Yichen paid. "Give the soy milk to someone else!"
"Mr. Tang..." A hurried figure ran over and picked up the soy milk next to him and poured it at Tang Yichen.
"Hey..." The boss stretched out his hand to block it.
The scalding soy milk splashed onto the boss's sleeve.
"Little girl, what are you doing? I have good soy milk, and you just spilled it on me. Do you know that you will be struck by lightning if you waste food?"
Zhang Lancao pushed the boss and said, "Don't make trouble."
She put her hands on her hips and glared at Tang Yichen: "Why are you bullying Caixia?"
Su Caixia ran over anxiously and grabbed Zhang Lancao's arm: "Stop talking, Lancao."
"Why didn't you tell me? You gave him so many things, and he accepted them, so he accepted them. He didn't want to return the favor, so he didn't. Now he's pissed you off and made you cry. What's with the first place, what's with the scholar? I think he's just a hypocrite."
People gathered around.
Su Caixia's face turned pale. She looked at Tang Yichen guiltily and wanted to leave by pulling Zhang Lancao.
Tang Yichen called out to Su Caixia, "Miss Su, when did you give me anything? Explain it clearly in front of everyone. Don't ruin my reputation."
"No, I didn't send anything..." Su Caixia cried heartbrokenly. "Everyone, please don't misunderstand Brother Yichen. Brother Yichen is innocent. Woo woo..."
"My dear, this is your fault. Just because you passed the imperial examination, do you disdain the original arranged marriage? You are a scholar, you can't go back on your word!"
"That's right. The little girl was crying so sadly, it's obvious that she was coerced."
"He looks quite handsome, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."
"If Young Master Tang doesn't explain things clearly today, I think this unfaithful man's reputation will become known throughout the city." Xia Ruwan walked into the crowd with Shuhui.
"Miss Xia, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Tang Yichen bowed, "Please don't tell my younger sister about what happened today. If she knew that I fell into the hands of a woman, I'm afraid my reputation would be completely ruined."
"How does Mr. Tang plan to prove his innocence?"
Tang Yichen looked at Su Caixia and said, "Miss Su, I didn't want to make a big deal out of this. You're a woman, and your reputation is the most important thing. But if you want to frame me like this, then I have no choice but to find your elders and your master at the embroidery workshop and explain to them what happened between you and me."
"My parents are in the countryside, and my master is not here either. If you say we have no relationship, then we have no relationship. Why are you being so aggressive?"
"Am I being aggressive, or are you trying to deceive everyone? Your family wants a marriage, but we've made it clear that I'm only interested in career advancement and won't start a family. Your family says they're willing to wait, but I've also made it clear that I don't like you and won't marry you, so your wait will be in vain. You did come to the academy to look for me repeatedly before, giving me this and that, but I didn't accept them. You shouldn't have thrown those things away; they're still in your room. Just send someone to look for them, and my innocence will be proven."
"You can deceive these uninformed people, but the villagers can testify for me. Miss Su, you'd better explain this clearly, otherwise I won't mind the trouble and personally bring everyone in the village to the city to testify for me. But mobilizing so many people like this will probably ruin Miss Su's reputation."
