Chapter 59: Chapter 59 - The Silk Banner, Please Bring it to me

"Chen Hansui! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know who’s on the first page of the family book!"

Yu Jingting stepped back, picking up a basket from the stove.

There were more than ten eggs in the basket, wangled just now from Wang Cuihua.

"Drop the ax! If you don’t, I’ll smash these eggs!"

Yu Jingting made a gesture as if to drop the basket, waving it better than any ruffian.

In his anger, Yu Jingting didn’t consider just how foolish his actions seemed, but when he later reflected on it, he wanted to die of embarrassment.

A true gentleman, reduced to using eggs as hostages in an argument – um, eggtages – where’s the husbandly authority in that?!

Suizi, startled by his shameless behavior, could not speak. It was mainly because she really cared about those eggs. These days, aren’t more than ten eggs a big deal?

The curtain at the east room door lifted, and Wang Cuihua rushed out with an angry look.

"Put that damn basket down!"

Suizi didn’t expect her mother-in-law to be home, and her face instantly turned red.

She had seen that the house doors were closed and nobody was present, and so assumed Wang Cuihua had gone out.

In fact, Wang Cuihua was just cooped up there in the east room, watching the fight.

"Didn’t you see that young woman with the ax? Are you just going to scold me?" Yu Jingting raged.

Wang Cuihua scoffed, her daughter-in-law was merely threatening with the dull side of the ax. She wasn’t as biased as her son to overlook that!

Faking a throat slash and actually smashing eggs, naturally the fool who’d ruin the precious eggs should be disciplined!

"Give that here!" Wang Cuihua snatched the basket.

She kicked Yu Jingting hard in the leg.

"You good-for-nothing, would you actually hit Suizi if I wasn’t here? Look at what you’ve become!"

"!!!" It was clearly Suizi who’d been crying and threatening and blackmailing him!

Suizi tossed the ax on the ground and went to stand behind Wang Cuihua.

Yu Jingting glared at her, while Suizi dared not meet his intimidating gaze.

"What are you poking around here for, get inside!"

Wang Cuihua had heard from Suizi that Yan Changgui had designs on Jiaojiao. This was something the Yu Family couldn’t tolerate. She wanted to go with her son to beat up that ruffian, but it seemed her daughter-in-law had a better solution.

The three went inside, Yu Jingting furiously shut his mouth and walked straight to the stove, clearly intending to keep his distance from Suizi.

"Now, what do you want to do about this matter?" Wang Cuihua asked sternly.

Wang Cuihua adored her daughter dearly. Just like Yu Jingting, she too wanted to beat up that scoundrel Yan Changgui.

Suizi knew that if this situation was not handled properly, not only would it dampen Yu Jingting’s heart, it could also affect her position in her mother-in-law’s heart.

"I..." Suizi walked towards Yu Jingting. Facing a man emitting a cold aura who looked completely resistant, she reached out her hand.

Each hair on Yu Jingting’s body stood on end. What shenanigans was this woman up to now?

She wouldn’t be pulling out some kitchen knife or scissors or something to scare him, would she?

There were no eggs in the room. Maybe he could grab her mother’s melon seeds and scatter them on the ground to scare her?

"Don’t be angry..." Suizi hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest.

"What the hell! Let go!"

His mother was still standing right there. Hugging and embracing... couldn’t they find somewhere private?

Yu Jingting looked at his mother, "Mother, you’re her mother-in-law, please make yourself scarce! Can you really watch this?"

Wang Cuihua was stunned, wondering what on earth was her daughter-in-law doing in the middle of their serious conversation?

"I’ll let go if you promise not to be angry with me," Suizi said in a soft voice.

"Don’t play that game with me!" Although Yu Jingting spoke sternly, he didn’t push her away.

"You don’t want to let that guy go, and neither do I. But we didn’t catch him red-handed, and he hasn’t really done anything to our sister yet. If you go and cripple him, our family will be unable to explain."

"By the time he makes a move on Jiaojiao, it’ll be too late!" Wang Cuihua said unsatisfactorily.

"Which is exactly why we can’t let him succeed, and we also can’t use Jiaojiao as bait——"

"What are you trying to do?! No one in our family can be used as bait!"

Yu Jingting was taken aback, thinking that Suizi wanted to use herself as bait to attract the guy, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Thinking that being cute could make him do whatever she wanted - her softness was indeed... tempting.

If it were not for his mother being there, Yu Jingting could easily carry her and put her on the kang bed and with the curtains drawn, he would have bitten her fiercely——

He, Yu Jingting, would never agree to use his wife as bait even if it meant dying. If he was going to bite someone, he would rather not bite anyone than bite her!

"Suizi, what Tiegen said is correct," Wang Cuihua spoke earnestly. "I know you are well-educated and kind-hearted, but now is not the time to be kind-hearted."

In such matters, regardless of whether it is true or not, all that matters is that it could damage a girl’s reputation. Wang Cuihua thought her daughter-in-law was planning to use herself as bait, thinking Suizi was just too kind-hearted and this could potentially make her a victim of exploitation.

"Mom, the women in our family obviously should not be used as bait, but apart from me and Jiaojiao, don’t we still have a witness?" Suizi said softly.

Yu Jingting’s eyes narrowed, and everything became clear to him.

As he sat on the kang bed, he pulled her to sit beside him, casually touched her soft waist, and his anger instantly subsided, his voice also becoming softer.

"How do you have so many tricks up your sleeve?" Just a while ago she was arguing with him, but now she looked truly beautiful, everywhere seemed comfortable, he wanted to bite her again.

Seeing that Suizi looked innocent, gnawing on her lower lip, she said:

"I’m afraid something will happen to you. I... don’t want to lose you."

Shit!!!

Yu Jingting felt an electric current flowing from his back, down his spine and all the way to his forehead. Who the hell could still be angry after that?

He licked his molars, staring fiercely at Suizi. Was this little girl flirting with him again?

And right in front of his mother?

Did she think that just because both of her lips were temporarily unavailable, she could be so unrestrained?

At this moment, at least 5000 visually explicit scenes flashed through Yu Jingting’s mind, all involving drawn curtains.

"What kind of riddles are you two talking about? I don’t understand," Wang Cuihua said, completely befuddled by this unexpected turn of events.

How did her wayward son become so well-behaved with just a few cryptic sentences from her daughter-in-law?

What are these two looking at each other so intimately for?

And that look in her son’s eyes, like he wanted to devour Suizi, was even more aggressive than a cat in heat—can someone tell her what on earth was happening? Wang Cuihua was utterly baffled.

Suizi had only used one sentence to bewitch Yu Jingting, and now this sentence made her mother-in-law extremely curious.

"We have witnesses in our village who saw the bad guy committing crimes. That bad guy will surely want to kill the witness. Mom, our Jingting is so kind-hearted and righteous, can he stand by and watch the bad guy succeed? When the bad guy beats the witness to half-death, will he not interfere? It’s called ’bravery upon seeing justice’ when you stop evil deeds. It’s called ’provoking trouble’ when you barge into someone’s house to fight. Are they the same thing? As a defender of justice for the citizens, at the very least, Jingting should be recognised as a ’brave hero’. Should the authorities not present him a banner to recognize his bravery?"

If the bad guy didn’t know someone saw him do the evil deed, it wouldn’t matter, Suizi would somehow let Yan Changgui—this despicable jerk—know someone had seen him.

As for that witness—Suizi shared a knowing glance with Yu Jingting.

Wang Cuihua was stunned by Suizi’s cunning plan.

Dear god, the Yu Family’s ancestors must be blessing them from their graves. Had they really brought home a female Zhuge Liang?

Bring on the banner for bravery! You’ve earned it!
