Chapter 249 Price
Including Shangguan Yunxin, everyone looked at Fu Qiuyang in surprise.
He just showed an evil smile,
"There are not many people in this world who can compare to my looks, so this is the last thing I care about."
He subconsciously wanted to wave the fan a few times, but found that his hands were empty, so he had to put his hands behind his back awkwardly. He was worried that he would leave a bad impression on Baili Nanqing that he was a bohemian and philandering person, so he hadn't touched the fan for a long time.
Looking at Shangguan Yunxin, Fu Qiuyang took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Miss Yunxin, my mother was once a prostitute in a brothel. She was redeemed by my father who was a businessman and taken home as a concubine. If you don't despise my background..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp voice:
"Brothel? Your mother actually came from a brothel?!"
Yang Xiuyun and her brother also arrived at the clinic at some point, and heard Fu Qiuyang's words before they even came in. She also tried to hint to him, letting him understand her feelings, and wait until she arrived in the capital to go to their house to propose marriage.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that Fu Qiuyang's origin would be so low! A lowly thing born of a dirty prostitute, not even worthy of looking at her!
When Yang Xiuyun thought about the grievances and shame she had suffered during this period of time, it was as if a raging fire was burning in her heart, and her eyes were red. She wished she could immediately have her men beat Fu Qiuyang to death!
"Miss Yang's reaction really puzzles me. What does it have to do with you that my mother came from a brothel? Could it be that our Da'an country does not allow prostitutes to marry and have children?"
Fu Qiuyang was just talking at a critical moment when he was interrupted by an annoying person who was always looking down on him. He was really angry. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he would have swung his fist at her long ago!
Yang Xiuyun rarely appeared in public without her rouge and powder, and her face was full of meanness. She raised her eyebrows and said in a high voice:
"You are a lowly child born of a lowly prostitute. You have a seductive face and pretend to be from a wealthy family. You want to cheat people. Do you think you are right?"
"Ruoxi, what is a bastard?" Little Stone opened his big eyes like black grapes and looked at Shangguan Qingyue with an innocent face.
The cunning look in the little guy's eyes could not be seen by others, but it could not escape Shangguan Qingyue's eyes. She touched her nose helplessly and said:
"Well, I don't know either, but I have heard of the term 'mouthy'. It's used to describe a person who is full of foul language and speaks without restraint."
"Shangguan Qingyue, you..."
Baili Nanqing was right beside her, how could she possibly give her the opportunity to slander her precious daughter?
"The Yang family has always prided itself on being a family of scholars and paying the most attention to etiquette and rules. Miss Yang calls you a lowly child on the left and a lowly one on the right. Could this be the good family tradition of your Yang family?"
"Aunt Shangguan, I..."
"Okay, I don't have the heart to argue with you now. You two should leave immediately. We can discuss everything after we return to Beijing."
Yang Xiuyun was choked and her face turned red. After seeing the hideous wound on Shangguan Yunxin's face, she no longer had any scruples. Why should she swallow her anger when a disfigured adopted daughter could only beg for their family's favor?
"I advise Aunt Shangguan to think it over carefully. Sister Yunxin has become like this now. Is there anyone else who would want her except our Yang family?
Since we are future in-laws, you should be gentle with me. Otherwise, even if our Yang family regrets the engagement, outsiders will not be able to find fault with us!"
"Oh? Sister Yang means that no matter whether the scar on my eldest sister's face can be removed or not, the previously arranged marriage will remain the same?
It seems that I misunderstood. The Yang family's family tradition is indeed well-deserved, it is really clear and upright!"
Yang Xiuyun was speechless for a moment. She was extremely angry. This damn girl wanted to put their Yang family on the fire!
"This matter is not urgent. Sister Yunxin's injury is more important. My younger brother and I will return to Beijing first and try our best to find a doctor who is good at scar removal. Bye now!"
After saying that, she turned and left. Yang Chengping looked at Shangguan Qingyue several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he left, looking back every few steps.
"That's great! The annoying person finally left!" Little Stone breathed a sigh of relief like a little adult.
The wound on Shangguan Yunxin's face had been treated and wrapped in layers of cotton cloth. From beginning to end, she didn't even frown, let alone cry.
The group found an inn nearby and settled down. Baili Nanqing swallowed his doubts and didn't say a word of blame.
Shangguan Qingyue went to Shangguan Yunxin's room when no one was around, taking a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her hand.
"Eldest sister, let me chat with you. Since you are not in a position to talk right now, how about I ask you to write?"
After Shangguan Yunxin nodded, she continued:
"The Third Prince gave me two bottles of ointment before, saying that it was effective for the wounds on my fingers, and there is still more than half a bottle left. Now it seems that the wounds I once cut have not left any scars at all.
So I wondered if this ointment would be useful to you, but since your wound is on your face, I wrote a letter to His Highness to be on the safe side. We can use it after we get his positive reply."
Shangguan Yunxin just shook her head after hearing this.
"It doesn't matter even if it's not the right treatment. I'll ask him to help. The ladies in the palace pay the most attention to maintaining their appearance. Maybe they have a prescription that is good at removing scars! So don't worry, elder sister."
Seeing that his younger sister did not understand what he meant, Shangguan Yunxin picked up the pen and started writing on the paper.
Shangguan Qingyue came closer to take a closer look and saw that it said: No need to bother, I don't plan to remove the scars on my face.
"Why? The longer this scar is left, the harder it will be to remove. If you are worried that the Yang family will give up the idea of canceling the engagement, we can draw a fake one on our face. When necessary, we can pretend to be unnoticed so that people can see it.
This time you turned your fake play into reality. My mother and I are very scared. Sister, you are so stupid! How can you hurt yourself? There are many ways to cancel a small marriage. It is not worth it for you to do this."
Shangguan Yunxin blinked her eyes and resisted the urge to cry. She was used to being patient and kept things to herself. But since she recognized this sister, she has been slowly changing.
So she wrote on the paper again: Making the Yang family give up completely and stop doubting is only one aspect, the most important thing is that I want to know if what Fu Qiuyang said is true. I want to take a gamble!
Use your appearance as a price to bet on the other person's sincerity!
After reading it, Shangguan Qingyue opened her mouth slightly. Is this cold and aloof sister actually a love-brained person?! If she were in his place, she would not be able to do it.
Trusting no one is worse than trusting yourself. Even if she meets someone she loves one day in the future, she will not let herself lose herself for that person.
But looking at Shangguan Yunxin's firm and clear eyes, she couldn't say anything against it.
"I understand. I hope my eldest sister can get what she wants."
Three days later, Baili Nanqing and his group set out again. Unlike before, the atmosphere along the way became somewhat gloomy and depressing, and they no longer had the interest to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Shangguan Chong and his two sons waited patiently for a long time, and finally, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they met the person they had been dreaming of.
