"Tsk tsk, what a pity. Such a handsome young master is actually a fool."

"I heard it's the young master of one of the biggest merchants in the capital. He has had this disease since he was young, and recently, the master of the merchant has caught a bad disease. He probably won't be able to live for long. Silly Young Master's mother did not want her foolish son to be bullied by his brothers, so she ordered the butler to bring him to the countryside to take shelter. "

"Since you want to avoid it, then why are you getting married?"

"Marrying any kind of wife is just like being a son-in-law. How could the steward have the heart to raise another person's son after getting the money? He turned around and left this unfortunate young master here with us. This young master is a fool.

The sound of someone stealing brought Jin Xiaolou back to reality from her trance.

When he raised his eyes again, he discovered that the man's cold jade-like gaze had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, his eyes were glazed, and he looked as silly as a five-year-old child.

Was he seeing things?

Jin Xiaolou suddenly realized that her hands were tied behind her back.

Lowering his head, he saw that there was a thick hemp rope tied between his ankles.

He vaguely remembered that he was kicked unconscious by Jin Lei in the woodshed. Why, was he actually tied up and standing in the middle of a pile of people?

Jin Xiaolou left and right, almost all the families in the Wellhead Village were there, and the one standing beside him was none other than the patriarch of the Jin Family, but she did not see Huang Guizhi and Madame Liu.

He also did not see Jin Lin'er.

"What are you all doing?" Jin Xiaolou turned her head, and rushed to the closest Madame Zhou, and asked: "Where is Lin'er, where did you bring Lin'er?"

"What are you so anxious about!" "Madame Zhou's pair of eyes simply could not bear to leave the Silly Young Master's body. Amongst the people in the Wellhead Village, who would have seen such a good-looking man? Even if it were a fool, he would still want to take a few more glances. Don't you know what to do after a while? "

Jin Xiaofeng, who was behind Madame Zhou, felt even more regretful. How could such a good-looking person be a fool?

Thinking of this, his face turned red.

Jin Xiaofeng's mother, Madame Liu, had a pretty good appearance. She was already nineteen years old and should have been married off, but she had always thought highly of herself.

As he thought about it, he saw that there were four people standing by the entrance to the well. Grandma De Qing was the most respected person in the village, and no one dared to refute her when she said her words; Wei Qing had also stood upright and dignified by the side, and the villagers could not even straighten their back when they saw him; however, at this moment, the two of them stood beside the two, one old and the other young, their auras completely gone, and they were not even comparable to servants.

How did that old housekeeper even look like a housekeeper? Just saying that he was a great old master from the city was naturally convincing. The aura that emanated from his entire body made one not dare to look directly at him.

As for Silly Young Master, he looked like an immortal. If he was not foolish, his legs would have gone weak and he would have kneeled down.

Jin Xiaofeng thought, if this young master was not foolish, she would have chosen him. She would marry into the capital and become the wife of a rich family.

"Cough, cough." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Zhengzhi coughed twice.

The crowd immediately quieted down.

Li Zheng was very satisfied with his authority, but before he spoke, he turned around and looked at the old butler. Seeing that the old butler had nodded his head, he then continued: "Today, two noble guests have come from our Wellhead Village, so everyone should be clear on their circumstances, which young miss is willing to marry this young noble, and is also lucky to be selected by the young noble, so the old butler bestowed ten silver taels and an acre of land to them."

Just as he finished speaking, the Madame Wu could not help but ask: "It seems like this young noble does not know how to work, how should we choose?"

Madame Wu was afraid that the girls would compete with her in terms of talent or fame. Her daughter did not know a single word nor did she learn embroidery.

"There's no need for you to worry." The butler coldly said without even raising his eyes.

With just that one sentence, the Madame Wu was so startled that she retreated half a step.

After calming himself down, he hurriedly pushed Jin Xiaolou forward, and said with a face full of smiles: "We are willing, our house's small house is willing."

Jin Xiaolou finally understood the intentions of the people from the Jin Family. Although the women of the ancient times always ordered their parents to marry them, they wanted to tie him up like this and had her marry a fool that they had never met before.

Jin Xiaolou didn't even think, she wasn't timid nor was she subdued by the butler's aura. She looked straight at the butler and shouted loudly: "I don't want to, I have a child before I have even gotten married, I presume your Young Master would also not be willing."

"You damned thing! What nonsense are you spouting! " Madame Wu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. This was ten taels of silver, using all of her strength to fiercely grab onto Jin Xiaolou's waist, wishing that she could strangle her until she fainted.

The matter of Jin Xiaolou having children was tightly covered up by the Jin Family and almost no one knew about it.

Li Zheng sized Jin Xiaolou up from head to toe. Although he did not know whether what she said was true or not, looking at how tightly tied she was, he could tell that he did not want to believe her.

He was just about to ask the Madame Wu to bring Jin Xiaolou back, since this man from Jin Family was a scoundrel, and the women were spicy, and he was not a good person to begin with. Who didn't know about the Wellhead Village, that if the young master went to the Jin Family, he would really jump into a pit of fire.

Who knew that before he could say anything, Silly Young Master's head tilted, his eyes wide open in joy, like a child, and said with a low voice: "I want her."

After he finished speaking, he extended his hand and pointed straight at Jin Xiaolou.
