Chapter 1699 Becoming One of Us
"Hmph, it’s not that no one dares to want me, it’s just that those men don’t deserve me." Ina snorted coldly.
Over the years, she did date a few men, but found them all mediocre, increasingly beneath her standards, and thus kicked them aside. Among them, she had physical relations with two. Unfortunately, these two men couldn’t accept being dumped and spread the word that she was no longer a virgin, which utterly shamed her.
Coincidentally, she hadn’t found anyone to her liking either.
Now an outlander, Xiao Yuchuan, had arrived, unaware of her past. Even if he learned about it later, it would be too late. Besides, judging by what Ke Mo said, Xiao Yuchuan cherished that woman named Su, and for her sake, he would surely plead with her.
This Mr. Xiao was evidently either rich or noble. According to Ke Mo, the accommodation fee he paid amounted to as much as fifty taels, quite generous indeed.
Furthermore, his jade pendant hanging from his waist was of such exquisite quality that even she, a layperson, could see its immense value, which she found very satisfying.
Ke Lince was nearly driven mad by his daughter’s antics. "Ke Mo has a blind old lady, but he doesn’t mind your loss of purity... Alas, when will you ever get married at this rate?"
"Dad, don’t worry, this time your daughter will definitely find a good son-in-law for you. But for that, I’ll need your cooperation."
...
Ke Mo heard that Su Qingyue had been bitten by the Iron Wire Gu. Out of concern, since she was staying at his home, he was quite anxious. Unaware that Su Qingyue’s injury was already under control, he spoke outside Xiao Yuchuan’s room, "Young Master Xiao, this Iron Wire Gu is not ordinary. Your fiancée has been bitten for over the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense. I’m afraid it’s incurable now, but there is a kind of medicine made from Ten Fragrant Leaves that can control the poison."
"Really incurable?" Xiao Yuchuan feigned urgency. He and his wife had agreed to keep their self-treatment under wraps for now, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.
"There’s no cure for this parasitic poison. Only the village head has the medicine made from Ten Fragrant Leaves to control the poison. I’ll go ask him for it." Ke Mo, being straightforward and honest, turned to leave for the village head’s house.
