Mu Qing looked at Jiujiu in surprise. It seemed that he did not expect Jiujiu to mock him.
Facing Mu Qing's dumbfounded expression, Jiujiu took the handkerchief that Xiao Ya handed over to her. After carefully wiping her fingers clean, she raised her head and said, "The day before yesterday, was it you who knocked me into the river?"
As soon as Jiujiu said this, Mu Qing instantly knew who Jiujiu was.
Because he knew that when he thought of how stunning and ashamed he was just now, his face instantly became flustered.
He was not ashamed that he knocked Jiujiu into the river. Instead, he was ashamed that he had a good impression of Jiujiu, a lowly merchant's daughter.
Mu Qing suppressed the shame on his face. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, but I …"
"You were also knocked down by someone, right?" Jiujiu picked up the teacup and used the tea lid to remove the foam on it. After taking a sip of the tea, she looked up at Mu Qing and said with a smile, "Since you were also knocked down by someone, let's leave it at that."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she gave Xiaoya a look.
Xiaoya obediently took out the contract that Jiujiu wrote before she came here.
Xiaoya put the contract in front of Mu Qing and stood behind Jiujiu.
Jiujiu lifted her chin and motioned Mu Qing to look at the contract in front of him. She said in a low voice, "I have heard that my father looked for you the day before yesterday."
Mu Qing frowned when he heard that Jiujiu took the initiative to mention that Li Fugui looked for him. Thinking of Li Fugui's words, Mu Qing was shocked. Could it be that Jiujiu dressed up so well today to bewitch him with her beauty so that he would agree to this marriage?
Thinking of this, Mu Qing looked at Jiujiu with a picky gaze.
Jiujiu was good-looking and had a good temperament. However, no matter how good her appearance and temperament were, it could not hide the fact that she was just a merchant's daughter. Thinking of Jiujiu's words just now, Mu Qing's face instantly darkened. He looked at Jiujiu with a picky gaze and nodded, "What do you think, Miss?"
Because he suspected that Jiujiu wanted to seduce him with her beauty, Mu Qing's eyes were full of undisguised disdain and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Seeing the sarcasm on Mu Qing's face, Jiu smiled and snorted, "Although it was you who knocked me into the river, my father was rude First. So, let's leave it at that time. In my opinion, you didn't mean you knocked me into the river, and the one who saved me was my servant's saved me was saved me. You was my father was rude first. so let's just leave it be. In my opinion, you did not knocked into my father was unintentional was saved me was unintentional and saved was saved was my father was disrespect. My's, you, you was was was was it my understood?
She wanted Mu Qing to hold back and not speak of this matter.
Mu Qing was stunned. He blinked and looked at Jiujiu with a confused expression. He did not seem to understand what Jiujiu meant.
Seeing this, Jiujiu walked up to Mu Qing and pushed the contract that Xiao Ya had placed beside his hand forward. She said softly, "I admire you for being a scholar. You know the integrity and commitment of a scholar. Regarding the matter of me falling into the water, you will definitely not tell a third party. However, one must always be wary of others. I hope that you will sign this contract. Then, there will be no relationship between you and me."
Mu Qing originally thought that Li Fugui asked him to come here to force him to marry him. But when he heard Jiujiu's words, it was clear that she had no intention of marrying him. Instead, she was drawing a line between them.
Mu Qing lowered his head to look at the paper in his hand. The paper was very thin and the words were written in beautiful Hairpin-style Small Regular Script. Every word and sentence was written clearly. It wanted him to promise not to tell a third party about Jiujiu falling into the water that day. If there were rumors about Jiujiu falling into the water and it came from him, then he would have to compensate Jiujiu with one thousand taels of gold.
Seeing that Mu Qing's face was slightly pale, Jiujiu said slowly, "Is Young Master worried about the one thousand taels of gold?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly, "Young Master, don't worry. Although I am not a lady of a noble family, I know the importance of reputation. There is no reason for me to ruin my reputation to ask for one thousand taels of gold. Moreover, Young Master's family is poor and has no money. Even in your next life, you will not have so much money. I just want to ask for a guarantee from Young Master because it is impossible for you to have this money."
Hearing Jiujiu say that it was impossible for him to have this money, Mu Qing's face instantly turned green.
After Jiujiu finished speaking, the corner of her mouth raised slightly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Young Master doesn't dare to sign the agreement. Could it be that you know that you are a gossipy woman and don't dare to give me this guarantee?"
Mu Qing was angered by Jiujiu's call of a poor scholar. Now that he heard Jiujiu say that his family was poor and had no money, his face instantly flushed red. Then he heard Jiujiu say that he was a gossipy woman. How could he endure it? He directly signed his name, pressed his fingerprint, and handed the agreement to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu looked at the name and fingerprint on the agreement. The corner of her mouth raised slightly and her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said, "Young Master is indeed a straightforward person."
Jiujiu asked Xiao Ya to keep the agreement properly and walked to the door. When her fingers touched the door, she suddenly turned back and looked at Mu Qing who was so angry that his face was red. She slowly said, "I know that Young Master is noble and upright, but I hope that Young Master can understand that you are just a poor scholar. Even if this matter is spread out, I will not marry you. After all, a person like you is not worthy of a beauty like me."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she lifted the hem of her dress and walked out.
After being called a poor scholar by Jiujiu again, Mu Qing was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He was about to explode.
He knew that he was poor, but he didn't expect Jiujiu to say it so bluntly.
She even said that a poor scholar like him wasn't worthy of her. This was simply outrageous.
After making Mu Qing so angry, Jiujiu walked out and saw a man dressed in green standing at the stairs. When Jiujiu came down, he suddenly said, "You are indeed a beauty."
Jiujiu, "…"
This was what Jiujiu said to Mu Qing just now. This man said it out of the blue. Jiujiu couldn't help but look at the man again. She wondered if this man had overheard her conversation with Mu Qing.
Just as Jiujiu was thinking, the man walked to Jiujiu's side. He lowered his head and whispered in Jiujiu's ear, "I am not a poor scholar. What do you think of me?"
Jiujiu, "…"
He had overheard her conversation with Mu Qing just now.
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at the man with a sharp gaze. She pursed her lips and said with a dark expression, "What do you want?"
The man smiled faintly, "I am Mo Yuanming. Do you think I am worthy of you?"
Was this a proposal?
However, his surname was Mo and his name was Yuanming. It sounded familiar. Just as Jiujiu was wondering where she had heard Mo Yuanming's name before, Xiao Ya's face turned pale and she looked at Mo Yuanming with fear.
