[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

9-10

Chapter 9: What wicked idea was she thinking about??

Shi Qingluo sat down and relaxed.

She looked at Madam Niu and said, "I'm thirsty. Go get me a cup of tea."

Madam Niu was tempted to give this daughter, who was becoming more arrogant, a slap. Which wretched girl dared to order her own mother to pour water and make tea for her?

Unfortunately, she did not dare.

She had retorted a few times before and was whipped by her rattan.

Her entire body was burning with pain.

"Drink then!" After she was done brewing, she placed the teacup heavily on the table. She better choked to death.

Old Master Shi looked on with a pained expression. This was the tea that he had hidden away for himself to drink.

These few days, it had all entered the mouth of this vile creature. It was too depressing.

Shi Qingluo took a sip and said with disdain, "The quality of this tea is still a little bad. It's a good thing that I don't have to drink it anymore."

In the modern world, she had been influenced by her grandfather's tea and had also fallen in love with drinking tea.

In the past, she would not have taken a single glance at this kind of tea leaves. But now, she could only make do with it.

When she earned some money, she would buy some good ones.

Old Master Shi was speechless.

She had almost finished the tea that he found too precious to consume. Yet, she still had the nerve to despise it.

He continued to suppress his anger. "What did you mean when you said that you were going to get married?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "I am interested in one of the families. I have also made an agreement with them. I will marry them the day after tomorrow."

"Psss!" Old Master Shi could not help but spit out the water that he had just drunk.

The others were also stunned.

Third Son Shi thought that he had heard wrongly. "What is this for? Marry the day after tomorrow?"

Old Lady Shi and Madam Niu asked in unison, "Which family?"

Shi Qingluo answered truthfully, "The house next door, Xiaxi village's Scholar Xiao."

Madam Niu asked in astonishment, "What? Don't tell me you are going to marry Scholar Xiao, do you?"

She usually liked to go out and gossip, so she knew about Elementary Scholar Xiao's family conditions.

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at her. "That's right! If I don't marry him, don't tell me I'm going to marry his younger brother?"

Madam Niu asked, "Do you know that Elementary Scholar Xiao is in a coma and you are likely to become a widow? Do you know that his family has no money to buy medicine? Do you know that he has broken off his relationship with his father who is a general?"

He did not want a powerful father who was a general, but followed a poor and divorced mother. In her eyes, Scholar Xiao was a fool.

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Of course I know. I only wanted to marry him because of his family's situation."

She swept her gaze across the Shi family and said bluntly, "Even if I were to marry him and become a widow, it would still be more comfortable than living with you guys."
