Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Your sister has a strong temper, I’m worried she might do something drastic.

"What are you saying, sister? My brother-in-law is now a son-in-law of the Li Family. Every word and action of his is tied to the Li Family’s reputation. How can you still bully him like before?" Li Chengyuan stretched out her arms as if to protect a chick like an old hen, shielding Wa Chengnan behind her. Her expression was very serious, "Sister, you cannot let your rage cause you to dismiss brother-in-law as nobody."

These words hit right at the heart of Wa Chengnan, and the way he looked at Li Chengyuan changed.

Li Chengxiang was so angry that her chest heaved up and down; the maidservants by her side quickly stepped forward to soothe her, "Miss, don’t be angry. The doctor said you haven’t been well recently; you mustn’t let your anger affect your health."

Li Chengxiang pushed the maidservant to one side with her hand, her gaze fixed dead on Wa Chengnan, "I’ll just ask you, are you coming out with me or not?"

Wa Chengnan thought of himself as a man of stature, now valued by the Crown Prince, no longer the person who used to be troubled over a small amount of money and sold himself into another’s household as a son-in-law.

Having just heard what Li Chengyuan said, he felt even more confident, so he spoke, "My wife, if you want me to go out so that you can beat and scold me, then I shall not. Such behavior truly shames your father.

"Shame?" Li Chengxiang laughed angrily. She pointed at Wa Chengnan and said three times over, "Good, good, good!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left the house. The maidservants, fearing she might harm herself in her anger, quickly followed her out.

Wa Chengnan watched Li Chengxiang run out and became anxious. He had just taken two steps forward when Li Chengyuan grabbed him.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

Wa Chengnan pulled his hand free from Li Chengyuan’s grasp, "Your sister has a fiery temper. I am worried she might do something rash. I should go and see."

With that, he chased out the door.

Li Chengyuan was left staring at her own hand, dazed. After a while, she suddenly clenched her fist and let out a light chuckle.

When she looked up, she suddenly saw Yan Lingzhen standing to one side and frowned, "Why are you still here?"

Yan Lingzhen cleared her throat, "I’m just leaving." She whistled nonchalantly and stepped out of the courtyard, feeling today’s drama was well worth watching. She’d have to share this with her fifth sister later to cheer her up.

However, just as she was about to leave the courtyard, Yan Lingzhen suddenly thought of something and sharply turned her head back toward the doorway.

There was something strangely familiar about the third Miss Li.

She thought for a while but couldn’t pinpoint anything else out of the ordinary.

"Miss Yan, what’s wrong?" Cong Ge looked at Yan Lingzhen turning back, "Did you forget something?"

"Nothing." Yan Lingzhen turned away, muttering to herself, "Hopefully, it’s just my imagination."

...

Li Chengxiang quickly walked to her courtyard. Seeing her sit down, the maidservants hurriedly brought over the Medicinal Pill and asked her to take it with water.

Seeing that she was still very angry, they extended their hands to help calm her down.

Li Chengxiang swatted them away, "Didn’t I already tell you to repair that entrance to her courtyard? Now, Miss Yan of Yan Family has seen it. Who knows what she may think about how I usually treat my sisters."

The maidservant immediately knelt down, "This matter can’t all be blamed on us, mainly because the third Miss is not willing."

"Not willing?" Li Chengxiang put down the cup on the table, her breath unsteady, "Why isn’t she willing? She even spoke about this door in front of father last time, and now she is not allowing anyone to repair it?"

"The third Miss insists that the wood of that door was personally brought back by the Lord years ago and holds significant sentimental value, so she has always refused to let anyone take it down and replace it with a new one," the maidservant spoke with a hint of resentment in her voice.

Ever since the third Miss recovered from her severe fever, she seemed like a changed person.

She had already separated cleanly from her husband before, but who expected them to be close again now?

Li Chengxiang’s anger intensified even more.

She narrowed her eyes, "I never realized this girl was so sharp-tongued and had so many ideas before." She looked at her personal maidservant and asked, "You heard everything she said today, didn’t you?"

"This servant heard everything clearly."

"In the past, she couldn’t fart three times with a beating, could it be that the last incident changed her nature?" Li Chengxiang thought it over and realized that ever since that time, this wretched girl had been constantly at odds with her.

The maidservant wanted to say something more, but at this time, Wa Chengnan had already caught up.

Seeing Wa Chengnan’s face, Li Chengxiang immediately turned away in anger, "What are you doing here?"

"My wife, I know I was wrong, please don’t be angry, you’ve been unwell to begin with." He took the teapot from the table and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Chengxiang, then brought it to her smilingly.

Li Chengxiang, seeing the shining red mole between his eyebrows, pursed her lips and said nothing, but her hand had already taken the hot tea.

Wa Chengnan then gestured for the maidservant to leave quickly.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Wa Chengnan squatted directly in front of Li Chengxiang.

"My wife, as you know, my heart has always been with you. There really isn’t anything between her and me."

Li Chengxiang, recalling her younger sister’s attire that day and their hands leaning together, felt very jealous and upset, "Why did you go over today?"

"Didn’t I just explain? She called someone over to ask me to give her advice on her zither playing."

"Hmph, you never offered to give me advice on my zither playing on regular days," Li Chengxiang scolded sweetly.

"Ah my wife, your hands are meant for weighing gold, playing the zither, such an elegant pursuit, is simply not meant for you." Saying this, Wa Chengnan extended his hands to embrace Li Chengxiang’s, those plump fingers weren’t as slender and delicate as Li Chengyuan’s, but each looked round and wealthy, and were well-maintained on a daily basis.

Compared to those, Wa Chengnan still preferred Li Chengxiang’s hands more.

"You know very well in your heart that my affection has always been solely for you, my wife. As for Li Chengyuan, she can’t get over her feelings, and there’s nothing I can do about that. I can’t just watch her make a fuss. Remember last time, she was so upset over me that she hit her head against the wall and was unconscious for three whole days and nights, scaring our whole family."

Li Chengxiang was, of course, very clear about this. She sighed, "But you should also have propriety, what were you doing behind closed doors with her?"

"She said she was cold," Wa Chengnan replied matter-of-factly.

Li Chengxiang’s anger flared up again, "If she’s cold, can’t you tell her to put on more clothes?"

"I forgot, next time for sure."

"There’s a next time?!" Li Chengxiang yelled, "Wa Chengnan, what exactly do you want to do? Could it be you wish to have the best of both worlds?! To take her in, too?!"

"Dare not, dare not!" Wa Chengnan quickly waved his hands, "What are you saying, my wife? This really hurts my heart."

Li Chengxiang placed the teacup heavily back on the table.

Wa Chengnan sighed, stood up, and took her into his arms, "My wife, I always keep your kindness in my heart. If you hadn’t gone to the trouble of introducing me to the Crown Prince, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It’s just that sometimes you can be a bit too impulsive. You really shouldn’t have had someone push her into the water yesterday. As husband and wife, we must be united in purpose; if you commit a misdeed, then I can only go and make amends for you, so she doesn’t hold a grudge against you."

"How did you know..." Li Chengxiang was stunned.

Wa Chengnan reached out and tapped her nose, "You’re still too young to deceive your husband."

"You’re not mad at me?" Li Chengxiang asked, feeling uneasy. It was the only bad thing she had ever done in her life, and it was because she was enraged by Li Chengyuan who constantly clung to her husband and even wanted to climb into her brother-in-law’s bed. Any woman would feel uncomfortable in her place.

Moreover, the two had previously shared a relationship that was both as mentor and friend.

Over time, Li Chengxiang felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, which was why she had other thoughts.

"My wife, you usually only care about money. The fact that you’re jealous over me is truly gratifying; how could I be mad at you?"
