The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1070 - Chapter 1070 1070

Chapter 1070: 1070 Chapter 1070: 1070 He said he had tried to get along with Meijiao according to her wishes.

But he could not feel anything for Meijiao because his heart was already filled with Su Qingyue.

A man wholeheartedly devoted to Su Qingyue, he said she was the only ray of sunshine in his life.

His indifference towards Meijiao showed he was not mercenary; it wasn’t just about a woman’s beauty…

Such a good man, Fourth Brother…

All signs proved that he truly loved Su Qingyue, with an unwavering certainty.

From his perspective, his one and only sunshine was getting married…

He had lost her forever.

He did not want to live, wanted to do everything possible to win her back, and it seemed somewhat excusable.

Su Qingyue sighed softly, truly unable to dislike Xiao Qinghe.

Xiao Qinghe’s gaze also passed through the slightly open door, watching Su Qingyue in the yard, his clear eyes filled with a mixture of apology, tears, and loss.

He wanted to call her in and tell her that it wasn’t intentional.

His lips moved, but in the end, he sadly lowered his eyelids.

After Xiao Yuchuan finished feeding him porridge, he tidied up the bowl and chopsticks and left the room.

Xiao Qinghe raised his wrist and gently touched the gauzed wound.

It no longer hurt so much; he faintly remembered that third brother had been changing the medicine for him regularly, morning and evening.

A complex emotion flickered through his thoughts.

Having walked through the Ghost Gate, his heart had hardened.

Without Qingyue, he realized his life had lost its purpose.

Even with a woman like Miss Tao, he had no desire to even take a look.

He knew all too well that he could die but never give up on Qingyue.

The woman he had chosen in this life…

his wife.

Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy figure entered the yard, seeing that the door to Xiao Qinghe’s room was open, he walked in.

Noticing that Qinghe was not unconscious, but sitting up, his rugged face lit up with joy, “Fourth brother, you’re finally awake!”

He nodded slightly, “I’ve troubled second brother.”

Xiao Yishan had wanted to berate him severely, but since childhood, the fourth brother had always been so sensible, never giving him any reason to find fault, nor did he have the heart to scold him.

He just sighed, “Fourth brother, you’ve really been too foolish this time!”

Qinghe didn’t think he was in the wrong; to beg Qingyue to come back, he was prepared to try anything that was possible.

Facing his second brother’s reproachful expression, he remained silent, saying nothing.

“Have you eaten, taken your medicine?” Yishan asked, his cool voice brimming with concern.

He nodded again.

Xiao Yishan, seeing his complexion was no longer as ashen as before and he seemed more spirited, felt somewhat relieved, “Fourth brother, did…

Yue’er give you the medicine?”

He shook his head.

Xiao Yishan just assumed that he had come to terms with things on his own and did not think deeply, not suspecting that Yue’er would drug fourth brother.

Xiao Qinghe was not a man of many words, so he did not speak of it.

For the next few days, morning, noon, and evening, Xiao Yuchuan diligently brought food to Xiao Qinghe and changed the dressing for his wrist injury.

Qinghe initially felt abnormally hungry and wanted to eat on the first day, but that feeling had somehow dissipated unnoticed.

This gave him a slight surprise.

After taking his own pulse, he knew, Qingyue had mixed the antidote in his food.

Qingyue providing the antidote meant she did not blame him for his rash actions this time, right?

Each time it was mealtime, he hoped it would be Qingyue who brought it to him.

Yet, she never came, not even once.

Even so, sometimes he could see her exquisite figure in the yard through the open doors and windows.

So close, yet it felt as far away as the ends of the earth.

However, Xiao Yishan would visit him twice a day from next door.

In these days when second brother went hunting in the mountains, he would always bring back some prey for him, sometimes a wild pheasant, sometimes a piece of roe deer meat.
