Chapter 1763: Who’s Not Qualified?Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Ying was still reading the book, but when she heard Shao Qingyuan’s words, her attention was pulled back.
Her face turned pale as she suddenly took a step back. Marquis Pingnan hurriedly said, "The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus will naturally be handed over as promised. However, this herb is precious and has always been preserved in the marquis family. It’s indeed not by my side. However, don’t worry. I’ll get Yao’er to go back and retrieve it."
Gu Yundong sneered. "It’s not by your side..." Her tone was slow and meaningful.
Marquis Pingnan’s heart skipped a beat. He had a nagging feeling that she was implying something.
But in the next moment, Gu Yundong’s gaze turned and landed on Han Ying. "Alright, the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus can wait a little longer. What about the other condition? Miss Han, you can at least kneel down and kowtow to me three times to admit your mistake, right? After all, she’s present."
Marquis Pingnan’s face stiffened again as he said with a dry laugh, "Since it’s a promise, it’s naturally better to fulfill it together. When Yao’er returns with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, I will definitely bring my daughter personally to... apologize to Madam Shao."
He had thought it through quite well. The marquis family was not close to this place, and it would take more than half a month to go back and forth. If they were delayed by other matters for ten days to half a month, who knew when they would return to the Xuanhe Prefecture.
At that time, the old duke would have left long ago.
As for them, they could also find an opportunity to renege on this debt. There was a lot of room to maneuver in between.
As for Han Ying, he would let her go back with Han Yao. After returning home, she wouldn’t have to come back again. Madam Shao wouldn’t specially come to the marquis family just to make her apologize, right?
Gu Yundong looked at him in surprise. "Did the Marquis make a mistake?"
Marquis Pingnan: "..."
"Previously, we said that Miss Han would kowtow and apologize to me on the spot in front of everyone. Does the Marquis have any other explanation for the words ’on the spot’?" Gu Yundong asked with a smile, looking at him with an inquisitive expression.
Marquis Pingnan was instantly rendered speechless.
Someone turned his head and secretly laughed. Wasn’t that so? Who did Marquis Pingnan take for a fool? Could anyone not tell that he wanted to go back on his word?
Bai Yong sneered. "How embarrassing."
The old duke stared fixedly at Marquis Pingnan as though he wanted to hear what other excuses he had.
Marquis Pingnan’s face instantly turned flustered.
Han Ying panicked when she saw that her father had stopped talking and could not find an excuse to refuse.
She suddenly took a step back and threw the medical book in her hand to the ground. Her already violent temper could not be controlled at all.
She glared fiercely at Gu Yundong and said angrily, "I won’t. Why should I? Why should I kowtow and apologize to her? Who does she think she is? She’s just a village woman. What right does she have to make others kneel to her? I’m the daughter of the marquis family. Can you bear the responsibility of kneeling in front of you? Aren’t you afraid of shortening your lifespan? Let me tell you, it’s impossible. I won’t kneel to you. You don’t have the right. Give up."
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this. This girl from the Marquis of Pingnan’s marquis family was really an eye-opener. She was clearly the one who had agreed to the conditions. Since she had agreed, she should keep her word. Only by acting shamelessly afterward would she be ashamed of her status as the daughter of the marquis family.
The old duke looked at Marquis Pingnan, but before he could speak, an abrupt voice sounded from behind the crowd.𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
