The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1048 - Chapter 1048 1048

Chapter 1048: 1048 Chapter 1048: 1048 Xiao Yuchuan brought a basin of water into the room and asked, “Fourth Brother didn’t eat anything?”

He nodded, placed the wooden basin at her feet, crouched down, and removed her embroidered shoes.

After taking off her shoe and sock, he cradled her foot in his palm.

Her toes were delicate and her foot small, looking like adorable jade in the snow; he gently rubbed the center of her foot.

She chuckled lightly, “Third Brother, it tickles…”

He dipped her toes into the water in the wooden basin.

Soaking in the water, she felt the temperature was just right, “Third Brother, you don’t have to do this…” It was embarrassing for him to be washing her feet.

“I like doing this.” He tenderly washed her delicate feet, and after he was done, he used a dry towel he had prepared earlier to wipe the water off her feet, then picked her up sideways and placed her on the bed.

He followed her onto the bed, and his lips kissed the back of her foot.

She wanted to recoil her foot, but he held it in place, taking one of her toes into his mouth.

Her eyes widened with shock, “Third Brother, what are you doing!

Who does that…

Aren’t you disgusted by the smell of feet…”

“My wife’s feet don’t smell at all; in fact, they are quite fragrant…” he said, licking.

The night was long, and he savored her entire body.

The candlelight had gone out at some unknown time, but the love-making on the bed went on all night.

Xiao Yuchuan was well aware of what his fourth brother had intended.

Wanting to ruin his wedding bliss, to make him feel guilty deep down inside so that even his wedding would not go wellaEUR”as if he would let things go as he wished!

He would work even harder to “cultivate” on his wife!

In the silent night, Xiao Qinghe lay alone on the bed.

His eyes were listless, and his mind was filled with memories of being with his wifeaEUR”the unattractiveness of her face covered with pus sores, her smile so bright and her eyes so captivating.

Her ordinary features, though not beautiful, always caught his gaze, unable to turn away…

She had always concealed her stunning beauty, the real her was astonishingly gorgeous.

Perhaps she could deceive the villagers, but he knew that the pus sores on her face had healed long ago.

She refrained from restoring her beauty to guard against him and his second brother, right…

No, her initial choice had been him, even if it was out of pity, it was still him.

She just wanted one man from the Xiao Family.

That also meant letting the other two reveal their true nature and turn away on their own.

Remembering the kindness of the Xiao Family, he knew she never wronged anyone.

It was the second brother and himself who had let her down.

She was supposed to be his, Xiao Qinghe’s, wife, but now, she had become his third sister-in-law.

An acute pain made it feel like his chest was filling with blood, he lay on the bed, barely breathing, as tears steadily fell from his eyes onto the pillow…

Originally, the Xiao Family was so poor that they didn’t even have a pillow…

They had nothing at all.

Even the pillow he was lying on now was bought by her…

“Wife…” Tears streaming down his face, he murmured endlessly into the pitch-black night, “Wife…

my wife…”

The eastern sky revealed the first light of dawn, breaking through the darkness and illuminating the deep night sky.

In the wedding room, Xiao Yuchuan was drenched in sweat as he lay on top of Su Qingyue, the person beneath him having fainted from his relentless demands.

He affectionately kissed her forehead, his expression deeply satisfied.

After a while, he reluctantly got up, fixed the corner of the quilt for her, dressed himself, and left the room.

He first went to Xiao Qinghe’s room, pushed open the ajar door, and saw that the food and medicine bowl on the table beside the bed hadn’t been touched at all.
