The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1047 - Chapter 1047 Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047 Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047 She had no desire to glance at him, merely intending to ingratiate herself with Xiao Yishan by maintaining the appearance of a dutiful sister-in-law.

Feigning consideration, she said, “Is it that the meal doesn’t suit your taste?”

Ostensibly caring, she served wonderful food, but it was her covert way of reminding Xiao Yishan that a useless person who complains even about stewed chicken and remains obstinate was truly being unreasonable!

Xiao Yishan always felt that Li Rong’er was insincere.

“Why are you here?

Get back to your room quickly.”

Her eyes reddened with grievance.

“Brother Xiao, I’m just concerned about Fourth Brother…”

“Don’t create more trouble, you can’t be of any help.”

Grieved, she still walked away, sobbing.

Xiao Yishan glanced at the cold meal.

“Fourth Brother, shall I take your meal to warm it up?”

“Unless Qingyue feeds me, I will not eat anything,” he said quietly, like still water.

Xiao Yishan’s expression soured.

“Fourth Brother, you’re being disrespectful and causing a scene!”

He kept his eyes shut, saying nothing.

Yishan softened his expression.

“Fourth Brother, you can’t be obstinate.

You’re so weak, if you don’t eat something, how will you survive?”

Qinghe’s body slumped to the side on the bed, and Xiao Yishan quickly reached out to support him.

“Fourth Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

“I have no…

strength,” he said weakly.

“You have to eat something.” Xiao Yishan immediately brought the bowl close to him.

“I won’t eat,” he said, lips tightly sealed.

“You’ll eat even if you don’t want to!” Xiao Yishan pinched his jaw with one hand, bringing the bowl to his lips.

He lacked the strength to push away the bowl, merely clamping his lips tight.

“Open your mouth!” Xiao Yishan ordered.

Xiao Qinghe lay on the bed as if dead, unresponsive to his command.

Seeing him nearly lifeless angered Xiao Yishan, who then clamped his jaw tightly, pried his mouth open, and force-fed him the rice.

He spat it out.

Forced feeding resumed.

Suddenly, he choked by accident, his breath halted, and his face quickly turned bluish-purple.

Xiao Yishan hurriedly called out, “Third Brother!”

Xiao Yuchuan rushed into the room from next door, lifted Xiao Qinghe, turned him face-down, and patted his back vigorously.

After much difficulty, Qinghe managed to vomit out the food that had been stuck in his throat, and he fell back onto the bed, weak as a thread.

The wound on his wrist began to bleed again.

.cO

This time, Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan didn’t dare to force-feed him anymore.

“You all should leave,” whispered Xiao Qinghe, barely audible, “I only want Qingyue…”

The room was very quiet, but both Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan heard him clearly.

“Fourth Brother, stop this disrespectful misbehavior!” Xiao Yishan said sternly.

Xiao Yuchuan left without a word.

“Fourth Brother, your body is your own, you must take care of it.

To see you like this, Second Brother is truly heartbroken…”

Xiao Yishan advised earnestly for a while, but Qinghe lay on the bed unresponsive, eyes empty and lifeless.

There was nothing more Xiao Yishan could do but leave the room.

Passing by the yard and glancing at the brightly lit wedding room, he moved his lips as if to say something but ultimately left without speaking, heading back to his own yard.

His emotions were also complicated.

Yue’er had married Third Brother, and he, overwhelmed by pain, realized perhaps his love for her wasn’t as deep as Fourth Brother’s.

After drowning his sorrows in liquor for two days, he was able to control his emotions.

How could he offer advice now that Third Brother was a newlywed?

Besides, Yue’er had always been the woman in his heart.

The flickering candlelight cast the shadow of the large red ‘happiness’ character on the window of the wedding room.

Su Qingyue sat at the table inside the room, looking at the character for ‘happiness’ on the window, on what should have been a joyous wedding night, yet Fourth Brother’s situation had cast a pall over the entire house, leaving no one with a smile on their face.
