Sima Zhao's smile was magnanimous. Xia Ling could not see any trace of deception in his eyes.
"Silang, it's been hard on you to live with me in this thatched cottage and wear these tattered clothes. We still need your care in the future so that we can live in this village, " she said softly.
This sincere tone successfully made Sima Zhao's smile deepen, and it also made the favorability of Feng Er outside the window-2.
Xia Ling did not distrust Feng Er.
However, Sima Zhao's behavior was contradictory. While he was traveling in brocade clothes, he seemed to be very devoted to them in front of her. Xia Ling had to figure out what he wanted to do first.
"Yan 'er, tonight is our wedding day. Tonight, I'll get the aunt next door to cook some food, light the wedding candles, and we'll drink a cup of joyous wine... ... The days will be like this in the future. I've let you down. When your life is better in the future, I'll definitely arrange a new marriage for you to celebrate."
Sima Zhao came forward and sat by the bed, holding Xia Ling's hand.
His words were firm and sincere.
Xia Ling looked at him and smiled. "Alright, I'll wait. "
Favorability rating-2
Another notification popped up in her mind. Feng Er's favorability rating towards Xia Ling instantly dropped from 5 to 1.
Xia Ling was not in a hurry.
Sima Zhao had to arrange a banquet for tonight, so he naturally needed money.
He pursed his thin lips and said this matter with great difficulty. He was too ashamed to ask Xia Ling for money.
A grown man who had just eloped would ask a woman for money. This was not appropriate for him to say it out loud.
In the morning, he wore a brocade robe to the mountain chieftain's house. After returning from the mountain chieftain's house, he changed into a coarse robe.
Xia Ling went through what Feng Er had told her in her heart. Suddenly, she understood what Sima Zhao was trying to do.
He had no intention of spending his entire life with Feng Yan in this run-down village.
It was probably the same in her previous life. With the excuse that the large amount of banknotes he had on him was not easy to exchange, the two of them could only spend the small amount of silver that Feng Yan had brought with her in the village.
As the "fourth prince, " Sima Zhao naturally did not know what thrift was. Therefore, the two of them spent their silver very quickly and lived together in the village for a few days as a poor husband and wife... Naturally, they could not hold on any longer ...
Xia Ling understood what Sima Zhao had done and understood why Feng Er had come over to give her a hint.
Looking at Sima Zhao, Xia Ling could not help but feel a chill for Feng Yan. For the sake of power, Sima Zhao, this good-for-nothing, had actually schemed against Feng Yan in the first place.
Pretending to be angry, Xia Ling did not give Sima Zhao any face. "Si Lang doesn't know how valuable money is. The money I gave Si Lang in the afternoon could support an ordinary farmer for more than half a year, but that mountain chieftain actually accepted all of it? "
"I'm ashamed... " Sima Zhao's face turned green and white, and he only acknowledged the matter.
Xia Ling lowered her eyelids, pretending to be upset, and directly started to cry about being poor to Sima Zhao.
"fourth brother, I left in a hurry, and there isn't much silver in this bag. Previously, when I rented the thatched cottage from fourth brother, I went to look for the aunt next door to arrange it, and that's all I have in my wallet. Now that a day has not passed, these silvers have been swindled by fourth brother, and there are still many days in the future. The silver notes in fourth brother's hands can not be exchanged at the money house, this is what people should do... "... "
Opening the bundle, Xia Ling took out her purse and let Sima Zhao see her purse.
It was empty inside. It was not fake.
Feng Yan had only brought this amount of silver?
Sima Zhao looked at the woman's actions and her empty purse. He was a little stunned.
He planned to make use of Feng Yan's inability to distinguish between the five grains to squander Feng Yan's money first. This would give him some time to show off in front of Feng Yan.
