Chapter 819 - 175: You Can Also Be His Concubine Mother_3
Many people in the village knew that he was dissatisfied with his eldest son’s betrothed, and when they heard him say so again, they laughed and said, "That’s because your son Dalang is passionate and faithful. Pei Qian is now the daughter of the Official’s family, and just as capable as her elder sister. Marrying her is sure to be a good deal!" The sweet potato starch workshop was taught by Pei Qin, and Fang Li wanted his son to climb the social ladder, so they couldn’t encourage him otherwise.
Fang Li hummed and staggered home while drinking, muttering, "They won’t let me manage things, but if they did, I’d definitely find a high-class lady for Dalang! The harsh and mean Pei Qian, let whoever wants her marry her! She doesn’t even respect me or see me as worthy."
The cart protector heard this clearly and relayed it back to Shen Rou immediately.
Shen Rou then knew that someone like Pei Qian would definitely not be accepted by the Fang family elders, but she hadn’t expected it to be Fang Liuming’s father. If he found out she was following them, knew about her, would that be her last hope?
However, Shen Songming returned and told her to pack up, "We are hitting the road early tomorrow."
Shen Rou turned pale — was her last hope about to be shattered?
Ji Bingchu saw her desperate, painful expression and said with pity, "Ms. Shen! Why pine for a single plant when there are grasses everywhere? Fang Liuming isn’t that great, either. Look at this young master, am I not many times better than him? Besides, he doesn’t even have you in his heart, so why degrade yourself, right?"
With tearful eyes, Shen Rou glanced at him and then turned to go back inside. She might not have known him personally, but she had heard of him, the favored son of the Ji family, licentious and dissolute, often found in the company of flowers and under the willows; proposals to several families had been rejected. Even if his family background and appearance were better than Brother Liuming’s, where could he compare in character and temperament?
