Chapter 434 If She's Well, Then So Am I
"What is all this mess?" Madam Xiao's face blushed as she glanced at the mysterious pages of the erotic book, and she turned her head away, lightly spitting, "What are you doing with these? Put them away quickly."
"Does Madam perhaps find this dowry too modest?" Lin San shook his head, his face serious, "Madam, these items are ranked alongside my life and chastity as the three treasures of the Lin family, and are by no means a mere hollow reputation. Take this knockout drug, for instance; it's an essential medicine for anyone who walks the Jianghu, and it has saved me from danger several times. Then there's this musket, incredibly powerful, saving my life countless times on the battlefield. As for the thirty-six loose pages of the Dongxuanzi, which Madam has also seen, it's my master's treasure, its importance goes without saying. What's even more precious is that this is a colorful handwritten version. These are more important than gold, silver, pearls, or agates, and show my sincerity."
Madam Xiao nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face, "You indeed seem sincere. However, as I mentioned last time, although the Xiao family is few in number, we cannot let people gossip. Yushuang and Yuruo, you can only marry one."
Lin Wanrong did not argue with her, instead, stuffing all the dowry into her arms, "Madam, please put away these treasures, lest any thieves lay eyes on them and become envious. Keep the loose pages close; it would be terrible if they fall into the wrong hands."
"This knockout drug, musket, and those embarrassing pictures, what should a lady like me do with them?" Madam Xiao hurriedly pushed them away, her face flushed, "You keep them. You may need them someday. If you are serious, please hire a matchmaker and prepare cakes and red silk, and come to propose directly. Keep these treasures of your family."
She quickly stepped back, her face red and transparent, as if what Lin San was holding were fearsome wild beasts.
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, "Madam is indeed benevolent and kind, a model for us all. In that case, Madam, let's settle this matter. Once I've handled my affairs, I will pick an auspicious day to marry the young lady, and our two families will become one, intimately close."
Madam Xiao hummed in agreement but then looked up, "Wait, Lin San, after all this talking, are you going to marry Yushuang or Yuruo?"
