Xia Ruwan stood up and walked over, stopping in front of Rong Wenxuan, looking up at him with her little face raised: "Marry a virtuous wife, it doesn't matter to you if I'm disfigured. Does this mean that I'm ugly?"

Rong Wenxuan was stunned and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."

"That's what you mean. I'm disfigured, but you're still willing to marry me. I should be grateful. I shouldn't make any more trouble and cause you any more trouble. I should just prepare to get married."

"Wan'er, I just don't want you to work too hard. In fact, beauty will fade sooner or later, only a beautiful heart will last forever."

Xia Ruwan grabbed the fruit knife next to her and waved it in front of Rong Wenxuan.

Rong Wenxuan's face changed drastically and he took a few steps back.

"Why are you hiding? Didn't you say that appearance is not important? Didn't you say that what you like is a virtuous wife? Didn't you say that a beautiful heart is timeless? I cut the same wound on your face. From now on, we will both be injured. No one will laugh at each other, and we will naturally become a loving couple." Xia Ruwan waved the fruit knife.

Rong Wenxuan quickly dodged: "Wan'er, there's a difference between an accidental injury and an intentional injury. Our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents. How can we hurt ourselves so casually?"

"Your fiancée fell off a cliff, and you were there comforting your sister, hugging her. You didn't dare go down to check. It turns out you were afraid of hurting yourself. You're truly a filial son." Xia Ruwan sneered, "Rong Wenxuan, from the moment you became so afraid of death, the little affection we had before was completely gone. Don't try to show off your affection in front of me. I really don't have time to entertain you."

"Today I will ask the matchmaker to come to your house to cancel the engagement. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other in marriage. Your life is precious, Second Young Master Rong. Our Xia family dare not marry you. Please come in!" Xia Ruwan pointed to the door.

"Wan'er..." Rong Wenxuan looked at Xia Ruwan in a daze.

From the moment he met Xia Ruwan, she had always been a gentle and polite girl. When they were dating, she looked at him with obvious affection, but after just a few days, those eyes had turned cold.

Was it simply because he hadn't gone down to look for her?

But he had already explained that when the third sister was frightened, he didn't think much of it, thinking that so many people were looking for her, so he stayed to take care of the third sister.

Why make such a fuss over such a small matter?

"Wan'er, you are still angry now. Can we talk after you calm down? If you don't want to see me, I will leave immediately." Rong Wenxuan turned and ran out.

Xia Ruwan sneered and said to Qin Huiyin who came out, "Was I blind before? Why did I think this man was the one I was looking for?"

Qin Huiyin said, "He always says that appearance is not important, but how could he know that it was his looks that attracted you in the first place?"

Xia Ruwan said, "He must know how important his face is, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of me hurting him. In fact, if he hadn't dodged just now, I wouldn't have scratched him. I'm not crazy. If I disfigure myself, I won't disfigure others. If he hadn't dodged, I would have looked at him with more respect and maybe reconsidered this marriage. But now, there's no need to think about it."

"This Rong family is really interesting. Miss Rong looks at you like a love rival, not like a sister-in-law. Is she a brother-in-law? Otherwise, how could she be so weird?"

Xia Ruwan thought that Madam Xia had woken up, so she took Qin Huiyin to visit Madam Xia.

Madam Xia had recovered some of her strength and was talking to Li Taohua. Seeing the two sisters coming over, she waved to them and looked at Xia Ruwan expectantly: "What did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial physician's opinion is the same as Doctor Wei's." Xia Ruwan took Madam Xia's hand, and seeing her eyes darken with disappointment, she comforted her, "Mother, it's okay. It doesn't matter even if it can't be recovered. I have money, so I can find any man I like. As long as I have money, I can buy any man I like and bring him back to be my concubine. Wouldn't that be much more interesting than getting married?"

"Shameless. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise if your words were to get out, wouldn't you be laughed at?" Mrs. Xia said unhappily.

"Wan'er is right. We should not be stubborn and should look at the long term. Those men can support three or five children, so why can't we women?" Li Taohua said.

"Mom, I want to break off the engagement with the Rong family," Xia Ruwan said. "It should have been done long ago. I said before that I wanted to give Rong Wenxuan a hard time. He's been serving me tea and water every day, cooking in the kitchen, boiling medicine for me, and even fetching water for my bath. I'm so relieved. If I keep him at home any longer, it would be a bit inappropriate."

"Do you really want to cancel the engagement? Weren't you very satisfied with the Second Young Master Rong before?" Madam Xia said, "Think it over carefully. If you really cancel the engagement, it will be too late to regret it later."

"I should have called off the engagement long ago. I don't want to delay it any longer. Don't worry, mother. I won't regret it."

"Wan'er has her own ideas, so just listen to her! I don't think the second son of the Rong family is good enough for her." Li Taohua persuaded from the side.

"He seemed like a decent person before, but now I can't even look at him. Well, let's call it quits. I'll send someone to return Rong Er's engagement letter and have them return ours as well. And the betrothal gifts they sent, too," Madam Xia said wearily. "If it weren't for that incident, they would have been married by now. Luckily it didn't work out, otherwise my daughter would have been wronged."

"You should take good care of yourself and not get angry. You have a son and a daughter now."

"Mom, have you chosen a name for my brother?" Xia Ruwan asked.

"Not yet. Waiting for your uncle He to choose one." Madam Xia said, "Just give him his last name. Let him think about it."

"Why do you take Uncle He's surname instead of yours?" Xia Ruwan asked. "It's not that I can't take Uncle He's surname, but I feel that if I take the surname Xia, I can legitimately inherit the Xia family in the future."

"I'll say it again, you are the heir of the Xia family, and your brother will have his own life." Madam Xia stroked her hair. "Wan'er, I hope you understand that you will always be the one I love the most."

"Actually, I don't care about these things. As long as my mother is still my mother, I don't mind who inherits the Xia family. I have Yinyin, the God of Wealth, and I will have great fortune in the future."

Mrs. Xia looked at Qin Huiyin and laughed with Li Taohua.

"I'm still in confinement after giving birth. How about letting your uncle He take care of the cancellation of the engagement?" Mrs. Xia dared to say this because she could see that Xia Ruwan had let go of He Lin.

It wasn't until the birth of this child that Xia Ruwan finally untied her knot and completely accepted the father and son. Mrs. Xia was naturally happy and wanted to let them cultivate their relationship.
