The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054 1054

Chapter 1054: 1054 Chapter 1054: 1054 After he came out, he saw Su Qingyue sitting in the yard enjoying the breeze, while Xiao Yuchuan was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

He walked over to Su Qingyue’s side and gazed at her exceptionally beautiful profile, feeling his heart thump wildly as if surging with hot blood; he realized he truly liked her so much!

What about Liu Haitang and Li Rong’er?

He had long forgotten them, staring blankly at her with his deep eyes.

Su Qingyue, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, stood up intending to leave, but he quickly called out to her, “Yue’er…”

“If second brother is still trying to spout some nonsense about giving you chances, then save your time.”

His heart ached at her words, “It’s not that.

It’s Fourth Brother.

His complexion is getting paler, and his breath weaker.

If this continues, he will really die.

As an elder brother, regardless of how stubborn he is, I can’t just watch him throw his life away.

He just wants you to feed him; just go feed him.

At least, wait until his injury is healed, and thereafter you don’t have to pay him any attention.”

“Second brother is truly kind-hearted.” A faint smile curled at the corners of her mouth, “You’re still persuading me.”

“Yue’er, Fourth Brother’s life is critical…”

“Feed him once, and what if he does this again next time?

Does he expect me to give in every time he threatens his life?”

“He…

he won’t.”

“He won’t?” Su Qingyue laughed, “He’s capable of this now, can you guarantee he won’t next time?”

“Yue’er, it’s just feeding…”

“I have no obligation to do so.” Her beautiful face remained unruffled, “Don’t try to persuade me anymore, or I’ll grow annoyed with you as well.”

“Yue’er…” His tone became a bit more forceful, “Are you really going to watch him die?”

“He’s seeking death on his own, is it because I won’t let him live?” She snorted, “Let him die if he wants.”

Xiao Yishan, seeing that she had truly made up her mind not to care, felt anger as well, “If Fourth Brother really…

you won’t be without blame!”

Su Qingyue frowned, “Even if he does die, it won’t be my fault.

Second brother, you truly are unreasonable!”

“The unreasonable one is you!” Xiao Yishan dropped the statement angrily and his tall figure left the yard.

As soon as he returned to the adjoining yard, Li Rong’er approached him with concern, “Brother Xiao, how is Fourth Brother doing?”

Xiao Yishan was very frustrated, “He’s still not eating or drinking, just hanging on by a thread.

I spoke to Yue’er about feeding Fourth Brother, but she refused.”

“How stubborn can Su Qingyue be; it’s just feeding him.

If Fourth Brother really…” Li Rong’er showed a face full of concern for Qinghe, “She really is so heartless.”

Xiao Yishan was greatly vexed and at a loss for what to do.

Li Rong’er actually hoped Xiao Qinghe would just die.

The Xiao family would be rid of a burden, and according to the current laws, which she had overheard being discussed in a quiet conversation when she was serving as a maid in the Fang Mansion, the second young lady from the Fang Mansion, already married, once mentioned that her husband had a relative who had only one younger brother.

If the younger brother died, according to the current laws, and he left no parents, was unmarried, and childless, his elder brother would inherit his assets.

So, if Xiao Qinghe were to die, his fields and those several new houses would be divided equally between Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan.

If Xiao Qinghe died, it would be a great benefit to Xiao Yishan.

She looked at Xiao Yishan with complex emotions in her eyes, pondering whether to tell him.

After all, Xiao Qinghe was only hanging on by a breath; they could just let him die, or they could ‘send him off’ without leaving any trace.

Xiao Yishan, seeing a flash of sinister intent in her eyes, felt a chill and asked coldly, “What were you just thinking about?”
