"Okay, let's bear witness for the lady and go to Widow Wang's house now!"

"But ma'am, what should we do if we don't find the gold bracelet?"

Gu Feiwan took off a jade bracelet from her wrist:

"This is a family heirloom that my grandmother gave to me when I married the general. If you can't find the gold bracelet, I will give it to this little girl as compensation!"

The crowd exclaimed!

Even if you have never seen good things, this jade bracelet is shiny and lustrous under the sun, and the light seems to flow like water!

Finally everyone understood Gu Feiwan's identity. This elegant lady in front of them was from the wealthy Gu family, and her husband was the general who had fought decisively in the city two years ago!

There has never been a woman with such a prominent status in Qingshan City!

"What a top-quality product!" the scholar exclaimed, "I have seen a jade bracelet on the hand of the county magistrate's most favored concubine. It is said to be worth five hundred taels of silver. But compared with the jade bracelet on the wife's hand, that jade bracelet is simply worthless!"

"Sour scholar, you are such a dishonest fellow. Why are your eyes glued to the county magistrate's concubine?"

"Hahaha!"

Although some people make fun of him, everyone trusts the advice of the sour scholar!

So someone started to make a noise: "Let's go, let's lead the way for Madam to go to Wang's house and take a look!"

Everyone's attention was diverted from Qingshuang being rejected in marriage on the street to catching the thief and seizing the stolen goods!

Wang Qiulian’s face became increasingly pale!

She was worried about putting the gold bracelet from yesterday, so she slept with it in her arms last night.

She got up in a hurry today and sold handkerchiefs without telling her mother and brother. Now the gold bracelet is in her quilt!

"You... lied! You gave it to me!" Wang Qiulian cried.

"I see. You are trying to threaten me and make me agree to let this woman marry my brother! You are dreaming. She can never marry into our Wang family. She is not worthy of my brother!"

Qingshuang was humiliated time and again, and anger suddenly appeared on her face. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Feiwan!

Even if Wang Qiulian was stubborn, with the foreshadowing before, everyone would think that this was just a revenge of a little girl after being exposed!

As Qingshuang is the victim, the weaker she is, the more credible she appears!

Someone asked curiously, "Wang Qiulian, this lady is of noble status, even the maidservants around her are well-known, what does your family have? How come she is not worthy of your brother?"

Wang Qiulian pointed at Qingshuang and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. I followed you all the way from the clothing store to here, which is only three intersections, but you spent at least five taels of silver. Do you know how much money five taels of silver means to my family? My brother's monthly salary is less than ten taels. I embroider all day and earn less than one tael a month. My mother cooks for others and works very hard, but she only earns a few dozen taels a year. But you just spent so much money!"

"Also, you just bought some candied haws, but when you saw the candy man, there were clearly two candied haws left, but you threw them away and spent money on the candy man! How can a woman like you who spends money without restraint and indulges in extravagance be a good wife? How can you save up wealth for my brother?"

"In the future, my brother's children will all study and take exams. How can they go to school without money? My mother said that you should marry a virtuous woman. A woman like you who only knows how to squander will ruin my nephew's future and destroy the hope of the Wang family. How can you be worthy of entering our Wang family?"

By the end of her speech, Wang Qiulian was almost hoarse!

The streets were filled with her words "money", "prospects", "unworthy"...

Qingshuang was stunned!

Gu Feiwan rarely has time to go out for a stroll, and Qingshuang rarely has time to go out and see new things.

Today, Ali got her wedding dress and was very happy. This is always a happy event for the Gu family. Gu Feiwan was also happy, so Qingshuang was happy too.

Qingshuang recalled carefully that she had bought some candied haws and indeed threw them away before finishing them.

But when she was with Gu Feiwan, she had always lived like this!

No one has ever said that she is "extravagant and extravagant"!

The candied haws were too sour and astringent. She ate a few of them reluctantly, but threw them away when she couldn't eat any more!

Qingshuang felt extremely wronged when a child pointed at her nose and scolded her like that!

But fortunately, she is a person with principles, one of which is not to marry a poor person!

Even if I had a good impression of Wang Zhong in the past, it is gone now!

They are from such a poor family that even throwing two candied haws would get them pointed at and scolded in the street by their sister-in-law. Why would you marry into such a family?

"Not to mention that I don't know your brother, even if I do, I won't marry without a matchmaker or an engagement! Although I am a slave, I won't give things to anyone privately! My daughter treats me very well and has prepared a dowry of five thousand taels of silver. Why should I marry a poor family like you? For a sister-in-law like you, I'm afraid that the dowry of my sister-in-law will be handed over to you as soon as it comes in. I'm going to marry to be a mistress, so do I have to beg for money in front of my unmarried sister-in-law to live?"

Qingshuang spoke very loudly, which caused cheers from the onlookers!

"That's right. You are pretty and have status, why do you want to marry into the Wang family? His family has no money and the people in it are hard to get along with. It's better for me to marry my nephew, who has 200 acres of good farmland and..."

"Come on, even though you're clacking the beads on your abacus, your mother's family's fortune is nothing compared to the little bit of money that falls through other people's fingers!"

"My brother from my mother's side has made great progress. He passed the imperial examination this spring and became a Jinshi..."

Gu Feiwan listened to the discussions and waved her hands: "I appreciate your kindness, but we are just passing through Qingshan City and will go somewhere else in the next two days. This personal maid of mine grew up with me, and I don't want her to marry too far away. In the future, I still have to marry a talented man in the capital to feel at ease!"

After hearing this, everyone praised Gu Feiwan for his noble character and felt sorry for their own sons and nephews.

If he marries Qingshuang, even if he marries the Gu and Ning families, they are both top wealthy families. With these two big umbrellas over his head, he can live a comfortable life even if he lies down and does nothing!

What’s the big deal about throwing two candied haws?

Not to mention throwing two, even if Qing Shuang ate one string and threw one string, they would applaud and praise: "What a good way to live!"

When they looked at Wang Qiulian again, there was more gloating in everyone's eyes!

She actually pushed away such a God of Wealth. Such a smart person like Widow Wang actually gave birth to a fool!

"Qiulian, what are you doing here? I can't find you anywhere!"

Someone pushed through the crowd and came forward, grabbing Wang Qiulian's ear!

When everyone looked, it was Widow Wang!

Widow Wang found her daughter, looked up and saw Gu Feiwan, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes:

"Seeing you again, Madam, it is truly fate!"
