I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 278 Can you please stop being angry with me?

Su Mo released her grip on Lou Wangyue, got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and looked steadily into Lou Wangyue's eyes, saying:

"Lou Wangyue, don't be delusional. Su Banxia doesn't love anyone; she only loves herself. She's an extremely selfish woman. No matter how good you are to her, she won't care about you. Your status is just a stepping stone for her to climb up the social ladder. She's going to be the wife of a high-ranking official in the future, while you're just a merchant's wife. You're not even worth her attention."

After saying that, Su Mo went into the house without looking back to pack her things. Although she had broken up with Lou Wangyue, she still had to take the things that Lou Wangyue had bought for her with the money she had spent. If she didn't take them, she would be a fool. With that thought in mind, Su Mo went into the house and packed two large bundles full of her things. Then she went to the accounting office to collect her money.

Lou Wangyue was still uneasy after hearing Su Mo's words, even while sitting in the carriage.

"Does Banxia really like being an official? I... I can also take the imperial examinations and study... I... I can also become an official..."

Lou Wangyue kept muttering these words to herself, and Jixiang, who was following outside the carriage, couldn't help but shake her head helplessly when she saw her master like this.

He had never seen Lou Wangyue so attentive to women. Back in the capital, Madam Lou had introduced many noble ladies to her master, but he had never taken them seriously and only met with them to appease Madam Lou.

The reason Lou Wangyue came to Fuping County was to avoid his wife's pressure to get married. Lou Wangyue always felt that the girls in the capital lacked the temperament he liked. They were all like caged canaries, looking precious on the outside but empty on the inside.

If marriage was the only option, Lou Wangyue was determined to find a unique woman to be his wife. However, now that his master had finally taken a liking to this girl, Banxia, ​​his wife was unwilling to marry her.

Even Jixiang was worried for his master, wondering when he would be able to settle down and start a family...

Lou Wangyue had already arrived at the market entrance by carriage.

"Wait a minute, I'll get off here. You guys wait here for me, I'll go in and take a look myself."

As Lou Wangyue got off the carriage, she saw Su Banxia's candied hawthorn stall surrounded by people buying candied hawthorns. It looked like business was doing very well.

"Give me a string of candied hawthorns too."

When Su Banxia heard that familiar voice, she looked up and met Lou Wangyue's gentle eyes.

Su Banxia steadied herself and handed a string of candied hawthorns to Lou Wangyue.

"Eight coins."

Lou Wangyue smiled as she took the candied hawthorn and waited quietly to the side, watching Su Banxia busily doing business with a doting look in her eyes.

Su Banxia didn't care about Lou Wangyue. After all, he had bought candied hawthorns from her, so he was considered her customer. As for what else he could do, it was none of her business.

It wasn't until noon that Su Banxia sold out of candied hawthorns. Lou Wangyue stayed with Su Banxia the whole time until she started packing up her stall. Only then did Lou Wangyue approach Su Banxia with a pitiful expression and say:

"Banxia, ​​I'm sorry. First, my mother offended you. I've already explained it to her, and she will never say such things to you again. Now, my mother has been sent back to the capital. Can you please stop being angry with me?"

Su Banxia glanced at Lou Wangyue and said calmly:

"I'm sorry, I'm not angry with you, and I have no right to be angry with you. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Su Banxiang turned to leave, but Lou Wangyue quickly grabbed her arm and took out a brocade box from her bosom, handing it to her.

"Banxia, ​​can you please stop being angry with me? This is a gift for you. I don't know if you'll like it, but it's a token of my affection, so please accept it no matter what."

Su Banxia glanced at the brocade box in her hand, then smiled and pushed it towards Lou Wangyue's hand.

“I cannot accept such a generous gift from Young Master Lou. Please give it back to another woman. I have never intended to become a concubine in the Lou household.”

Lou Wangyue blushed upon hearing Su Banxia's words and stammered:

"Banxia, ​​are you still angry with me? I've already told you that my mother doesn't know what happened, which is why she said those offensive things to you. Please forgive my mother."

As she spoke, Lou Wangyue walked up to Su Banxia, ​​looked at her intently, and said seriously:

"Banxia, ​​I admit that I have special feelings for you. You are the only woman who can move my heart. I never thought of being just friends with you. Now that you don't acknowledge our friendship, I will officially start pursuing you. And don't worry, I never thought of taking you as a concubine. I have always thought of making you my wife, Lou Wangyue, with dignity. I will do so in the future because you are the only one in my heart."

Su Banxia watched as Lou Wangyue quietly listened to him finish speaking, and then silently withdrew her hand from his.

"Are you done?"

Lou Wangyue nodded.

"I've finished speaking. Can you forgive me, Banxia?"

"I'm leaving now that I've finished talking."

Lou Wangyue, seeing that she had spoken so sincerely and poured out her heart to Su Banxia, ​​yet Su Banxia remained so cold towards her, became somewhat anxious. She rushed in front of Su Banxia, ​​stretched out her hand to block her path, and asked:

"Banxia, ​​what will it take for you to forgive me? What are you really thinking? Didn't you listen to anything I said just now?"

Su Banxia looked up at Lou Wangyue and smiled.

"You know perfectly well that there is a huge difference in our social status, yet you still say such unrealistic things. Do you think I'll believe you? You're just a young master from your Lou family. Your marriage isn't up to you. I've seen with my own eyes how much your mother despises women from peasant backgrounds like us. I have no reason to fawn over your Lou family. Besides, I have no romantic feelings for you whatsoever, and I've never thought about becoming your wife. You'd better not say these things to me again."

Lou Wangyue was stunned by Su Banxia's words. He never expected that Banxia would reject him so bluntly. He had always had whatever he wanted since he was a child, and no one had ever spoken to him like this before. Lou Wangyue had also thought that Su Banxia, ​​with her background and social standing, must really want to marry into the Lou family to change her status and background. But he never expected that Su Banxia would disregard all of that.

Lou Wangyue felt a little frustrated at this moment, but his feelings for Su Banxia would never change...
