Thinking of this, Zhan Xiaolou couldn't help but take out all of the money she had gotten from treating the patients. She didn't have much money to pay for the treatment of the patients.

In the past few months, her main source of income was Xie Jin and she had a total of 700 taels of silver.

Auntie Hua was very active because only when Zhan Xiaolou married her husband, she could marry her son to Zhan Xiaolou. Therefore, on the afternoon of that same day, she prepared a bridal list for Zhan Xiaolou.

These betrothal gifts would cost her about three hundred silver taels. Although this was only half of what she had, it didn't hurt Zhan Xiaolou at all, because when the man from a country who was obsessed with women got married, not only did he have to bring a dowry, but also a betrothal gift from a woman.

When they were preparing the betrothal gift, Auntie Flower accompanied Zhan Xiaolou throughout the entire journey, so much so that the street where Zhan Xiaolou was on thought that he was going to marry Auntie Hua's son, even though they had privately agreed that they would marry Auntie Hua's son a year after Young Master Qu entered the sect.

Hua Ruo, who was from his mother's family, seemed to know that her mother had already given him to Zhan Xiaolou. Every time she saw Zhan Xiaolou, she would blush and look exceptionally adorable when paired with his childish face.

The more shy Hua Ruo was, the more rumors spread out on the street. Plus, Auntie Hua did not deny that she had told Zhan Xiaolou about her youngest son. Now, everyone on the street began to envy Zhan Xiaolou.

Within three days, Lou Cheng had prepared all the betrothal gifts and took the silver with him as he went to Fang Zi's house.

When she was living by herself, she had never thought of buying someone back, but when she remembered that the husband she wanted to marry was the son of the general, she still went to the Tusk Family and bought a man in his forties. The man had been married for many years, and after he lost his virginity, he sold himself to the master of the family.

The man had an ordinary appearance, but he was good at cooking. After being selected by Zhan Xiaolou, he used 10 taels of silver to buy it. He signed the death contract and brought it back home.

When he returned home, it was still early. Zhan Xiaolou immediately went to his room and wrote a greeting letter. He was prepared to go to General Qu's estate early the next morning to deliver it.

The contents of the notice of worship were very simple. He wrote down his name, address, and stated that he was here to fulfill the engagement. Finally, he drew a simple tattoo of a jade pendant on a piece of paper.

The next day, General Qu, who had been back for several days, was respectfully waiting by the king's side. He changed into a new set of simple clothes and stood by his mother's side, listening to the king's meaningful words.

"Does General Qu think that my son is unworthy of your son?"

The king came this time for the marriage of her second daughter, Qu Li, who had been in love with him for several years. She was the one who spread the news about his ugly appearance, so no one else would dare to come to the Qu family to propose.

However, the king and the second royal daughter didn't know that fifteen years ago, this Qu Li had been given away by his mother!

"The king …"

General Qu had just spoken, but before he could say anything, the housekeeper appeared in the living room with quick steps. He held a red card in his hand, and when he saw the tense atmosphere in the room, he purposely raised his voice, "General, the young master's fiancée has specially sent over this card, saying that she is here to fulfill the marriage agreement between the general and her father."

It was not that she did not want to give birth to her daughter, but back then she was injured and no matter how many husbands she married, she could not have children. That was why the king wanted her daughter to give birth to a son like that, so she could effortlessly control the Qu family after General Qu's death.
