Jiang Wan was eating meat and almost choked.
She swallowed the meat, drank a mouthful of sweet soup and said, "Madam, Mr. Xie is my cousin, and currently... he is married."
"what?"
Zheng was very disappointed. "Mr. Xie looks only about 16 or 17 years old. How come he got married so early? I wonder who the other party is?"
Before Jiang Wan could say anything, a gorgeously dressed girl on the opposite side pouted and said, "Mom, I knew it. A young talent like Brother Xie... Young Master Xie must have been spotted by someone a long time ago."
Zheng sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity. If a talented person like Mr. Xie could enter my Liu Mansion, he would definitely be a great help in the future."
Another woman dressed as a lady said, "Sister-in-law, your Chunyan is already eighteen years old, and even older than Master Xie, yet she still covets Master Xie. I think it would be better if Master Xie got married, so that he wouldn't be obsessed with that old girl in your family."
"Second sister-in-law, Master Xie is a handsome man. I admire his talent, so I just asked casually. What's wrong? Besides, my Chunyan is a little older, but Master Xie is also a commoner. Look at the way he dresses. He doesn't look like someone from a rich family. Chunyan is my only daughter. Isn't she more than enough for him?"
Zheng retorted unhappily.
The second sister-in-law that Zheng mentioned was Liu Qingrong’s wife, Zhu.
Zhu snorted coldly, "It's useless to think too much, sister-in-law. Mr. Xie is already married. Sister-in-law should quickly find another good husband for Chunyan."
Zheng's mouth was blocked by her and she was unable to refute.
Liu Chunyan was unwilling to give up, and looked at Jiang Wan willfully, "Hey, you are Mr. Xie's cousin, so you must know who his wife is. Tell me, is his wife pretty? Is her family rich? What is her background?"
Jiang Wan didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Liu Chunyan's serious expression, she asked tentatively: "Ms. Chunyan, are you attracted to my watch..."
"Shut up! What if Master Xie hears you?!"
Liu Chunyan quickly stopped her and then looked nervously across the screen.
"Keep your voice down!"
Liu Chunyan stood up, ran to Jiang Wan, took her arm and walked towards the back door.
Neither Zheng nor Zhu called out to them.
When they reached the corridor outside the house, Liu Chunyan shook off Jiang Wan's arm and asked arrogantly, "Now that there is no one around, I will confess to you that I have a crush on Mr. Xie. Not only me, but my mother also likes him. Even if he is married, he can divorce his wife, so it's not a big deal."
"Just tell me who his wife is, and I'll find a way to solve it."
Jiang Wan was stunned when he heard this.
Is she going to reveal her identity and then be targeted?
That won't work!
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
Xie Lan can be targeted, but she can't!
"Ms. Chunyan, I actually don't know who my cousin's wife is. I'm not familiar with him and we barely see each other all year round. This time I heard in town that Mr. Liu was buying Ganoderma lucidum. My family is in financial difficulty, so I went to find my cousin to accompany me to the mountains to pick Ganoderma lucidum."
"If it weren't for Lingzhi, I wouldn't be able to see my cousin, so if Miss Chunyan asked me about his private affairs, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get anything out of it..."
Jiang Wan lied without blinking, and his expression was extremely sincere.
Liu Chunyan's cheeks flushed with anger, "Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?!"
"If you don't believe me, Miss, you can go ask my cousin in person."
Jiang Wan's expression was sincere.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Liu Chunyan said angrily: "If I dared to ask him, I wouldn't ask you! Forget it, I'll think of another way!"
After she finished speaking, she rushed into the house, leaving Jiang Wan alone outside.
Only the Liu family enjoyed this meal.
Jiang Wan and Xie Lan were both in a bad mood.
Jiang Wan is because of Xie Lan, and Xie Lan is because of Master Liu.
Jiang Wan didn't expect that Xie Lan would be so popular as soon as she showed her hands, which forced her to lie to Liu Chunyan. If Liu Chunyan knew that she was Xie Lan's wife in the future, wouldn't she make things difficult for her?
It seems that she needs to inform Xie Lan in advance so that he cannot reveal their relationship under any circumstances.
Xie Lan was troubled by Mr. Liu's request at the dinner table.
Mr. Liu knew that he could not work in the mansion, but still invited him to study in the private school in the mansion.
He said that he would cover all of Xie Lan's future study and examination expenses.
This condition is very tempting and most people simply cannot refuse it.
But Xie Lan didn't want to study in a private school. He was used to freedom and didn't want to be restricted.
He can study at home and take care of his younger siblings.
Mr. Liu asked him to think about it and get back to him later.
Xie Lan has already rejected Mr. Liu's invitation once today. If he rejects it again in just one day, it might damage Mr. Liu's reputation.
Therefore, Xie Lan could only agree temporarily.
*
After the meal, Master Liu gave Jiang Wan and Xie Lan some cloth and food, and wanted to send a servant to take them back.
When Jiang Wan thought of what Liu Chunyan said at the dinner table, she immediately declined and promised to deliver the medicine to her home in three days.
Mr. Liu trusted Jiang Wan very much and let them go without even asking about Jiang Wan's address or identity.
Xie Lan was carrying three or four pieces of cotton cloth and several sets of padded jackets on his back.
Mr. Liu saw that he was dressed poorly and admired his talent, so he rewarded him with a lot of cloth and cotton clothes.
Jiang Wan was also rewarded with two sets of clothes and cloth.
Mr. Liu knew that Jiang Wan and Xie Lan were both from farming families, so the clothes they were given as rewards were made of cotton and linen, which were neither expensive nor eye-catching, and were just right for their status.
Jiang Wan was grateful for Mr. Liu's thoughtfulness and generosity. No wonder everyone said he was a great man. He really lived up to his reputation.
Relying on Mr. Liu's kindness, she will also cure Mr. Liu.
As for Liu Chunyan...
Jiang Wan couldn't help but glance at Xie Lan beside her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xie Lan didn't look away, but said, "What do you want to say? Divide the money?"
Jiang Wan was stunned. "You want money again now? Didn't you say you don't want a penny?"
"I didn't expect that Ganoderma lucidum was so valuable. Three hundred taels, you said fifty-fifty, so that's one hundred and fifty taels. Why shouldn't I take such a large sum?"
Xie Lan glanced at her nonchalantly, "You still have an IOU here, don't forget it."
Jiang Wan stopped and gritted his teeth at Xie Lan's back.
Good guy Xie Lan, it’s not that he doesn’t love money, but he is afraid that he will sell it for too little, so he is unwilling to take it.
Now that I know I sold it for three hundred taels, let’s start settling the old and new accounts together!
Xie Lan turned to look at her, "We still have a lot of things to buy, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be dark by the time we get back."
The two of them went out today and planned to be back before noon. It was already afternoon now, and if they didn't hurry up, they might not get home until dark.
Jiang Wan no longer bothered with him about the money.
Of course she would not be stingy with what she should give, but she was not used to Xie Lan's decisiveness at the moment.
The three hundred taels were not even warm in her arms...
The two of them went their separate ways, Xie Lan went to buy suitable clothes and shoes and socks for his brother and sister-in-law, while Jiang Wan went to buy food.
An hour later, the two met at the carriage and horse shop at the town entrance.
