Xie Xueling ran to open the door, thinking that it was her elder and second brothers who came back, but unexpectedly it was a strange man.

The smile on her little face suddenly collapsed, and she asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Zhang Caijin saw that Xie Xueling was very cute and was wearing satin. Although it was not high-quality satin, satin was not cheap. How could the poor Xie family afford it?

Is it true, as Jiang Yaner said, that Jiang Wan has climbed up the social ladder?

No, not possible!

Zhang Caijin smiled gently, "Little girl, may I ask if Jiang Wan is home?"

"You came to see my sister-in-law?"

Xie Xueling shouted towards the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you!"

Jiang Wan was making soup. She walked out after hearing the words, wondering who was looking for her at dinner time.

As soon as I went out, I saw Zhang Caijin, who looked like a decent man, from afar.

She lost her good face, went up and pulled Xie Xueling behind her, and asked coldly: "Mr. Zhang, I haven't had the chance to settle accounts with you yet, but you came to my door."

The smile on Zhang Caijin's face paused, then continued.

"Wan'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you so distant with me?"

Jiang Wan's eyes turned cold, "What did you call me?"

Zhang Caijin couldn't help but shudder, as if he was back to the day when Jiang Wan came to his house with a hatchet to collect the debt.

He thought Jiang Wan was just not thinking clearly for a moment, so he didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan's attitude towards him was still so stiff.

"...Jiang Wan, what happened to you?"

Zhang Caijin was timid and afraid of trouble, so he changed his words immediately.

Jiang Wan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with me? Do we know each other well? Why did you come to my house to look for me?"

Jiang Wan asked a series of questions, catching Zhang Caijin off guard.

In the past, Jiang Wan was well-behaved, sensible and obedient in front of Zhang Caijin, and she didn't even dare to speak loudly to him. Why was she so cold to him?

Is it true, as Jiang Wan said before, that because he did not visit her when she was injured, Jiang Wan was disappointed and gave up on him?

It shouldn’t be!

It's not like he hasn't done similar things before, so why did he get angry and change his temper only this time?

Zhang Caijin couldn't figure it out, so he had to go to Jiang Wan's house.

This was something that had rarely happened before.

In the past, Jiang Wan would always go to Zhang's house to look for Zhang Caijin, but sometimes he might not even be able to see Zhang Caijin even after he went there.

Now the situation has changed, and it is Zhang Caijin's turn to visit Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, I have something to tell you..."

Zhang Caijin began to develop feelings.

"Go ahead."

Jiang Wan interrupted his sway without any hesitation.

Zhang Caijin looked hesitantly at Xie Xueling behind her, "It's not convenient here, and there are outsiders here, why don't you come with me outside."

Jiang Wan curled her lips. This scumbag started to have evil thoughts again.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know where this is?"

"Thank you, Xie Lan's family."

"Oh, it seems that you are not blind. You know that this is Xie Lan's house, so you should also know that I am married to him, right? I am a married woman now, and you are an unmarried man. Can I go out with you alone? If others see us, won't they call you an adulterous and cheating bitch?"

Jiang Wan's words were particularly harsh, making Zhang Caijin blush.

"Jiang Wan, what nonsense are you talking about? What adultery, what adultery? I just have something private to tell you. How can it be as serious as you say?"

Zhang Caijin hurried to explain.

Jiang Wan sneered, "Mr. Zhang is a scholar, he must understand the principle of intimacy between men and women better than I do. If you have anything to say, say it now."

Seeing that she refused to listen, Zhang Caijin was at a loss as to what to do.

He thought about it, and pretended to look at Jiang Wan with deep affection, "Jiang Wan, you said before that you liked me, admired me, and would marry me and would never marry Xie Lan, and that you would keep your virginity for me. Were those words all false?"

"Why did you break your promise and marry Xie Lan behind my back?

"Not only that, but you also treated me coldly. I don't know what I did wrong to make you change so much. If I did something wrong, you must tell me! Don't be so distant with me, okay?"

Zhang Caijin has a handsome appearance and fair skin, and can be considered a handsome scholar.

If he wasn't good-looking and good at sweet talk, the original owner wouldn't have been fooled by him.

Now he was looking at Jiang Wan lovingly, and his hurt and infatuated look was really able to deceive people's eyes.

It’s a pity that Jiang Wan is not the original owner.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said makes no sense."

Jiang Wan took a step back and looked away with disgust.

"I said I liked you before, but that was because I was young and inexperienced, and I didn't recognize your true face. Now that I see clearly, don't you allow me to dislike you?"

"Xie Lan and I were already engaged, so it's perfectly normal for me to marry him. How can that be considered breaking a promise? Even if I once promised to marry you, can't I go back on my word?"

Jiang Wan had a sarcastic smile on his lips. "Mr. Zhang, I still have something to ask you. I used to treat you wholeheartedly, and you were all in my heart and eyes. But how did you treat me in the end?"

"If you are short of food and clothing, and you mention it to me, I will remember it. Then I will do my best to scrape together money to bring you food and drink. You will only say a few words of thanks and nothing else."

"I used to want to marry you, but you didn't show any sign of it. All you gave me were vague answers, giving me a little hope but not an accurate answer."

Zhang Caijin's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled, and he was about to say something when Jiang Wan interrupted him.

"You passed the imperial examination last year, and I thought I could become his wife, but you still don't respond to my feelings directly, leaving me guessing every day. Aren't you deliberately keeping me hanging and exploiting my feelings for you?"

"In my opinion, you don't like me at all. You just want to take advantage of my love for you and make me willingly work like a slave for you."

"How much food and silver did you take from me? Every time you used the excuse of borrowing it. You knew I liked you, so I wouldn't ask you for it. You shameless person, you really won't pay it back!"

Jiang Wan thought about the money the original owner had spent on Zhang Caijin over the past year, and the total amount must have been nearly ten taels.

She said, "Last time I went to your house to ask for food, I lent you 50 kilograms of corn, but you returned me 50 kilograms of brown rice. I haven't had time to go back to you to settle the account, but you came to my house in person to question me."

"Now that everything has been made clear, isn't it time to settle the bill for how much you owe me?"

Zhang Caijin was dizzy after hearing Jiang Wan's call.

He tried hard to convince himself to stay calm, but Jiang Wan's blunt criticism of his betrayal and shamelessness still made him blush.

"Jiang, Jiang Wan! How did you become like this? I didn't force you to be nice to me before, you did it willingly. Now that you say you don't like me anymore, you put all the blame on me. Why?!"
