Chapter 161 - 103: Invaluable
Ran Yan knew that Sang Chen dared to propose not because he came from a prestigious family; he never considered himself part of the wealthy Boling Cui clan. Knowing this, Ran Yan really wanted to grab his collar and loudly ask him what was going on in that unhinged mind of his?
"That idiot!" Ran Yan was so frustrated that she couldn’t help but curse angrily, "All he knows how to give is an inkstone! Coming to propose with the Shipan inkstone as if I were some kind of object!"
No one present understood what "that idiot" meant, but they could all see that Ran Yan was very displeased.
Ran Yunsheng thought Ran Yan was dissatisfied because Sang Chen was neglectful, so he quickly explained, "The clay inkstone handmade by Mr. Sang is priceless in the market. In Chang’an City, it commands a price of thousands of guan. Presenting the Shipan clay inkstone as a betrothal gift is indeed very valuable."
Xing Niang and others were so shocked by Ran Yunsheng’s words that they momentarily paused, and then their eyebrows lit up with joy.
Xing Niang happily said, "Did the gentleman agree? Old servant sees Mr. Sang as a man of good character and appearance. Originally, I thought he was only from an average background, not expecting him to be the direct descendant of the Boling Cui clan’s sixth room. This is indeed a family to be grasped with urgency."
Wan Lu and Xing Niang bombarded Ran Yunsheng with questions, with Ge Lan also cheerfully joining in, leaving Ran Yan, whose face was turning an iron blue, coldly on the sidelines.
Thinking of spending the rest of her life with such a man made Ran Yan so suffocated she felt like vomiting blood. Having to face him every day would undoubtedly shorten her life by decades.
