Finally, Gu Xing put down the hand throwing the embroidered ball and left a jade pendant for my father.

He asked my father to send someone to Lan Garden tonight, and he would send the betrothal gifts.

After returning home, Qi Letian hurriedly came to my house, wanting to discuss countermeasures with my father.

But I had my father politely refuse him.

My father somewhat unwillingly said, "Although the gentleman today asked me to send you over, he doesn't seem like a rude person. How about... I go talk to him and have you marry Letian instead?"

"But father, have you carefully observed that gentleman today? Although he dresses plainly, all the items on him are priceless treasures. Including the jade pendant he left us today. Father, you have been in business for many years, how could you not see that the carving on this jade is not a common folk product? This gentleman, either rich or noble, is not someone we merchants can afford to offend. If that gentleman gets angry, not only will he not be able to keep his daughter, but he may also bring great disaster to our family."

Helplessly, my father had to send me into Lan Garden in a flower sedan chair.

And thus, my path of revenge will officially begin!
