Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 603 - 601

Shen Qiao was taken aback by this. Was he so drunk that he forced himself on Miss Rou’er?

The dream last night was so rea, and he was drunk. When he woke up, Miss Rou’er was lying next to him, so he never suspected it was just a dream.

Shen Qiao was filled with guilt: "Miss Rou’er, I got drunk last night and I didn’t know I would do something like this. I’m sorry, I will marry you, please don’t worry."

Having said that, he knelt down to Shen Chengyao: "Please, sir, let me marry Miss Rou’er."

Relax my ass! Nothing happened last night! And he thinks he’s worthy of me just because of his looks?! He’s just a toad wanting to eat swan meat! Rou’er nearly spat in his face when she heard his words.

Rou’er also knelt down: "Sir, nothing happened last night, and I don’t want to get married! Please, don’t force me to marry him!"

"What..." She couldn’t just decide not to get married because she lost her innocence, could she?

"How can you say nothing happened when I clearly saw you naked this morning? We’ve come this far, what will you do if you don’t marry me? " Shen Qiao asked, his face filled with shock.

As soon as he said this, there was a commotion among the servants.

Rou’er had to suppress her anger in order not to beat him to death on the spot!

This man had no consideration for others’ feelings when he speaks! He is absolutely despicable!

If he hadn’t said anything, who would know what happened last night?!

"Miss Rou’er, my son maybe has some acne scars on his face, but he is quite handsome and diligent. If you marry him, our whole family will treat you well. You two are a match made in heaven," Qiaozi’s mother chimed in.

Because of the acne scars on her son’s face, no one wanted to marry him, and she was almost worried sick! But now things were looking up!

"Yes, Miss Rou’er, Qiaozi is a good man, honest and diligent. You won’t lose out by marrying him. Otherwise, who would want you after what you two have done?"

Done? Who did what? They clearly didn’t do anything, okay?

"Qiaozi is a good man. I was even considering arranging a match between him and the maid, Hongmei, but you, girl, have made a smart move by acting first," a washerwoman said regretfully.

Rou’er felt that if she continued to listen to these servants, she’d die of anger!

"Sir, we truly didn’t do anything. I am used to sleeping in the nude, maybe I unconsciously took off my clothes after passing out last night. But Qiao was asleep, too. He didn’t see anything!" Rou’er gritted her teeth.

To avoid marrying Shen Qiao, Rou’er had no qualms about defaming herself!

In this relatively conservative era, who among regular people would sleep in the nude? Even men wouldn’t do this, let alone a young lady like her.

After hearing her words, the crowd burst into a commotion again.

Shen Chengyao looked at her with a meaningful gaze. This girl did not sign a servitude contract. She only agreed to work in his household for a year. Now that something like this happened and she refused to marry, what should be done?

Did she not want to stay on as a servant?

Shen Chengyao was not a complete fool. Originally, he himself was supposed to sleep in the study room last night!

If he hadn’t worried about Mrs. Liu being tired from breastfeeding in the middle of the night and gone back to the inner courtyard, wouldn’t he have been the one waking up in the study room this morning, in Shen Qiao’s place?

Shen Chengyao glared at Rou’er.

"Father, go freshen up, have breakfast, and head to the office, or you’ll be late. Big brother, Hao’er, you too should get ready to go to school. Leave this matter to me," Xiao’er said, noticing that Shen Chengyao didn’t want to handle this matter. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

This kind of situation really did not require the head of the family to intervene.

"But..." Shen Chengyao hesitated. Could Xiao’er, a young lady, handle such a matter? Mrs. Liu was still in confinement, and he did not want to trouble her either.

"Father, rest assured. This is just a matter among the servants. I will let Aunt Rong handle it," Xiao’er said with a smile.

He had almost forgotten Aunt Rong. With her handling this matter, and Xiao’er giving the final approval, Shen Chengyao felt relieved:

"Alright then, let’s leave this to Aunt Rong to handle. I need to go to the office." Upon saying this, Shen Chengyao left with his two sons. It’s best to leave such matters to the experienced Aunt Rong.

Rou’er was dumbfounded. Were they not going to handle her case?!

"Sir..." Rou’er began to yell desperately.

Shen Chengyao did not pay any attention and left without looking back.

"Don’t worry. Aunt Rong is a veteran in handling such matters. She’ll guide you to make the right decision," Xiao’er reassured.

"Miss, you should go have breakfast. I can handle things here," Aunt Rong said.

Xiao’er nodded and began to leave with Yun’er.

Is breakfast really more important than her own personal affairs? Rou’er was exasperated!

"Miss, don’t go. I don’t want to marry Shen Qiao. We really did not do anything." Rou’er tried to hold onto Xiao’er’s hand, hoping she would take charge.

If the matter was left to the stern Aunt Rong, she was certain that she would be given to Shen Qiao.

Xiao’er avoided her hand, took a deep look at her and said, "Rou’er, you should know that from the moment you stepped into the study room last night, you were destined to marry the man in that room."

Rou’er was stunned by Xiao’er’s gaze and her words!

As soon as she stepped into the study room, she was going to marry the man inside? Wasn’t that exactly what she was thinking last night? Only that she didn’t know the man in the room had been changed!

The lady of Rui’an County must have known about her plan! She must have! That’s why everything went so smoothly last night, as if the gods were assisting her!

It was on purpose! And she deliberately picked the ugliest boy in the entire mansion, whom no maid wanted to marry, to ruin her innocence!

By not being able to marry, Shen Qiao would be free for her to marry!

They must have carefully planned this!

She should have known that Shen Haiqiang would never leave a drunken Marquis Shengping alone to feed the horse!

Which is more important, the horse or the Marquis?!

The mansion didn’t just have one servant. Why would Shen Xiang ask Shen Haiqiang to feed the horse at that time?!

His father was drunk and he needed to serve him, he didn’t have free time! If the master was drunk, who as a night watchman would dare to leave so easily? It was such an obvious issue, but why didn’t she think of it last night.

Drunk people could do anything, and if something happened, could the servant’s life be spared?!

Moreover, Shen Haiqiang did not come back once he left last night, which she simply thought was him being lazy, but this was wholly unreasonable and illogical. If Shen Haiqiang had indeed been so lax and deceitful, how could he have become a trusted attendant at his master’s side?

She was just too naive and greedy for quick profits, which is why she didn’t notice the many flaws in the situation.

Had she only given it a little thought last night, she would not have ended up in such a predicament!

This was truly frustrating!
