Dazzled by the sight, Ruanruan blushes and says, "Cao Buxiu, control yourself. Don't fall too hard for me!" Cao Buxiu, dressed in red, raises his peach-blossom eyes: Like the clothes? I'll buy them for you! Want snacks? I'll buy them for you! Like the fragrance? I'll buy it for you! Ruanruan loosens her robe, reaches out to him, hooks a finger into his belt, and parts her red lips: "You can have me. Hand over the money!" Cao Buxiu smirks and pulls a piece of paper from his robes, stuffing it into Ruanruan's hand. Overjoyed, Ruanruan thinks he's about to hand over the family fortune. She gives him a quick kiss on the head, then eagerly unfolds the paper and is left stunned. "Cao Buxiu!" Ruanruan lifts her foot to kick the man in front of her, but he has already vanished through the door, his robes fluttering. Bonus scene 1: On the eighteenth night Cao Buxiu has spent in a brothel in a row, Su Ruanruan finally loses it! She summons the servants, grabs some silver, and storms over to kick down the brothel's door. She twists Cao Buxiu's ear and roars, "Cao Buxiu! You keep buying me things. So tell me, how much would it cost to buy you?" Cao Buxiu's eyes light up. He spreads his arms. "Come on!" Bonus scene 2: The day after she wrecks the brothel, Ruanruan goes to serve tea to her parents-in-law. Her father-in-law says earnestly, "Daughter-in-law, you should..." Ruanruan immediately drops to her knees in fright. "I was wrong, Father. I won't hit or scold my husband again!" Her parents-in-law shake their heads and hurry to help her up. "Daughter-in-law, you did great. Hit him when he deserves it, scold him when he deserves it! If you don't have enough money to buy him, we'll pay!" ↓↓↓↓↓↓ The novel after next: The Empress Su Yujing gets married.
