"Alright, not going to dwell on it. Honestly, your guy is definitely the best-looking," Li Xiang smacked her lips, "Among all the men Iāve seen, yours is the most handsome. Although I havenāt seen that many men, even the eighth and tenth princes are not as good-looking as he is. So, I guess itās unlikely to find someone better looking anywhere."
"Thatās true. So, back when he was blind and had a lame leg, there were still women who insisted on marrying him, right?"
Li Xiang nodded, still remembering Miss Cuicui vividly.
"Plenty of people came to me saying this and that, but my man didnāt know. If someone came to cause trouble once, Iād fight back once against my man. Would he feel sad?"
Li Xiang frowned and looked at Yang Ruxin: "Not only would he feel sad, he might even get annoyed."
"Exactly, so I never make a fuss with Gu Qingheng. Instead, whoever comes to disturb me, I fight back. Whether I hit or scold depends on my mood," Yang Ruxin shrugged. "If Gu Qingheng encounters any trouble, heāll even help hand a knife or hammer. Of course, if the other party is too strong and I canāt win, weāll think of another way. But so far, those trying to interfere have been pretty weak."
Li Xiang blinked and suddenly clapped her hands: "Thatās right. When Murong Xiaoxiao came to find me, she definitely didnāt tell the Xie Family. Here I was getting stuck on it..." She said, slapping her forehead. "My brain isnāt working well. No wonder my mom told me to always come to you for help. Youāre so clear-headed. Iāll learn from you in the future."
"Xie Tai is quite a catch. Donāt foolishly get tricked by those fake innocent girls, alright?" Yang Ruxin reached out and rubbed Li Xiangās head, "Love your own man in your own way. If you mess it up, youāll be the one suffering in the future!"
"Youāve mentioned fake innocent girls before, but what are these green tea girls?"
"Theyāre the same, just different terms. They refer to women who pretend to be innocent and weak to gain sympathy but are actually dark and vicious inside."
"Well said." Li Xiang gave a thumbs up, "Got it. Iāve figured it out now. I wonāt get moody with him anymore. I can smell the food, itās time to eat." She said and ran out, "Aunt Xiu, Aunt Feng, whatās cooking today?"
Yang Ruxin chuckled to herself, she liked this kind of personality. It seemed everyone around her had this kind of personality, even the maid. Thatās called birds of a feather flock together.
After lunch, Xie Tai took Li Xiang back home.
On the way, Xie Tai thought about what Yang Ruxin had told him earlier and understood a bit. So, he wanted to talk to Li Xiang: "Xiangxiang, you..."
"Xie Tai." Li Xiang interrupted him, raising her hand. "I did have some feelings earlier because of that so-called Little Qingmei or cousin of yours. She disgusted me. Offering me a hundred taels of silver to call off the engagement? Thatās looking down on me, isnāt it? A few years ago, I might have been tempted, but now, itās just insulting, such a cheapskate."
"What did you do about it?"
"I turned it down." Li Xiang looked Xie Tai up and down, "I think your value could be higher. If it was ten thousand taels or something, Iād consider it."
Xie Taiās mouth twitched, but he quickly waved his hand: "Wife, my value can go even higher."
Li Xiang rolled her eyes at him: "Donāt talk nonsense... Higher? Are you aiming for twenty thousand?"
