“Yes, my Lord, the fifth day of the lunar month,” she replied.

“How are things at the Xiao Family?” he asked.

“Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue are getting married today.

The news from Wushan Village this morning said the Xiao residence is now bustling with activity,” was the answer.

“Qingyue never came to see me?

Could it be that she did, but the gatehouse neglected to report it?”

“Certainly not.

I made it a point that whether it be at Drunken Immortal Pavilion or the Mansion, as soon as Su Qingyue arrived, she would be reported to you immediately.”

Jin Xun’s brows were tinged with a trace of melancholy, “So, it seems Su Qingyue would truly rather marry a penniless village man like Xiao Yuchuan than me.”

“Master, given your wealth and good looks, there are plenty of women in the world who would be willing to marry you.

Su Qingyue may have a bit of intelligence, having come up with ideas like dried fern, bayberry wine, and a way to remove the gaminess from pig offal, but hasn’t she also not come up with any new ideas for a long time?” Ji said.

“After all, she is just a village girl.

She probably lacks proficiency in zither, chess, reading, painting.

With your status, you should be matched with a well-bred young lady, not a village girl with a little bit of cleverness.”

Jin Xun knew this to be true, yet for some reason, his heart felt oppressively heavy.

“Su Qingyue, she really is neither enjoyable to possess nor easy to abandon,” he mused.

“My Lord, even a servant girl by your side has a prettier face than Su Qingyue.

There are many well-bred young ladies with both talent and virtue.

Why trouble yourself over her?”

Gazing at the crystal-clear water of the artificial mountain pond in the courtyard, where the fish played freely, Jin Xun mused, “Su Qingyue is the only woman I can’t see through.

You say she cares about money, yet she returned the five thousand taels of silver to me.

If you say she doesn’t care, yet she had me convert even osmanthus cakes into eighty taels of silver.”

At this, he couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, “I thought she was like ordinary women who love money, just playing hard to get, always going to come to me begging.

But today, she’s really getting married.”

These past few days, he had been restraining himself from going to Wushan Village, restraining the impulse to disrupt the wedding.

He had been waiting for Su Qingyue to regret her decision, to come to him, to him Jin Xun, begging to take her as his wife.

Because he simply could not believe that he, the renowned owner of Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a rich merchant known throughout the country, could lose to a village man like Xiao Yuchuan.

It had taken determination for Jin Xun, with his talents and wealth, to decide to send his servant Ji to fetch her.

He knew that Qingyue had been purchased by the Xiao Family to be a shared wife, which was beyond her control.

Since she managed to stay chaste, he was willing to overlook such a distasteful reputation.

But Su Qingyue’s face was too ordinary, and it had been a long time since he’d seen her exhibit any remarkable talents.

He felt that…

Su Qingyue was just so-so.

Caught between the decision to disrupt the wedding or not, his hesitation persisted until now.

Ji, seeing his master’s struggle and looking at the weather, said, “Master, if you leave now, you can still make it to Wushan Village.

Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan haven’t had their wedding ceremony this afternoon.”

As Jin Xun hesitated, the housekeeper came to report that the big business deal he had been discussing recently had been agreed upon by the other party, who had come to negotiate in person.

After a moment’s hesitation, Jin Xun left to attend to the business, ultimately not going to Wushan Village.

Not going to Wushan Village to disrupt the wedding became the biggest regret of Jin Xun’s life.

…

At the Xiao Family of Wushan Village.

Su Qingyue was in the side room, with Tao Meijiao by her side.
