Chapter 1074: 1075, brother is asking for second brother’s help.

Chapter 1074: 1075, brother is asking for second brother’s help.

He paused for a moment, “This woman is very scheming and unsuitable to be a wife.

I might as well keep her by my side for now.”

“Does Second Brother not plan to marry her?”

“I had intended to marry her in the past, but now I do not have the slightest desire to do so,” Xiao Yishan’s resolute face filled with irritation, “If it had not been for taking her pure and clean, I, Xiao Yishan, even in my lowest moments, am not a man to seduce and abandon.

I would have sold her a long time ago.”

“Then what does Second Brother intend to do with her?”

“Keep her by my side for now,” Xiao Yishan rubbed his temple with some headache, “If that doesn’t work, I might take her in as a concubine.”

Li Rong’er stood by the fence outside the courtyard, hearing the words spoken by Xiao Yishan in the yard.

Her face turned pale and she trembled with rage.

This despicable man actually only wanted to make her a concubine, after she signed the deed of sale just to gain his trust.

But she was not the worst off.

He had a family estate worth more than 500 taels of silver; ordinary people could scarcely save up several taels in a year, so he was quite wealthy.

A man with such assets seldom didn’t take concubines.

Even if she could only be a concubine, it wouldn’t be for nothing.

When she bore a son, family possessions generally went to the eldest son; ‘mother’s status is determined by her son’s,’so why worry that she couldn’t become legitimate?

She hooked the corner of her lips with a mocking smile, patted her perfect cheeks, and was relieved there was no scarring.

Liu Haitang, that wretched woman, almost ruined her ‘as beautiful as a flower and as pure as jade’ appearance.

If she knew Xiao Yishan treated her like a free chicken, she would be furious to death.

Thinking of that old, worn-out, and cheap Liu Haitang being treated like a chicken brightened her mood significantly.

“Second Brother, you’re not short of women.

Although Fourth Brother knows the one in your heart is Qingyue, you’re still capable of accepting other women.” The elegant voice of Xiao Qinghe sounded again in the yard, “Fourth Brother begs you, please give up on Yue’er!”

“Impossible!” Xiao Yishan flatly refused.

Xiao Qinghe closed his eyes in anguish, “Second Brother, I’ve never asked you for anything all these years.

I only ask you to give up on Qingyue.”

Xiao Yishan looked into the painful eyes of his Fourth Brother, feeling exceedingly troubled in his heart.

“Second BrotheraEUR|” Xiao Yuchuan, returning from washing clothes by the river bank, noticed Li Rong’er standing outside the courtyard door eavesdropping and frowned.

“Th…

Third Young Master…” Li Rong’er got caught and her face broke into an embarrassed smile, “IaEUR|I was just coming to ask Brother Xiao what he would like to eat tonight and heard him talking about serious matters with Fourth Brother, so I didn’t go in.”

When Xiao Yishan heard the talking outside the door, he cried out, “Rong’er, you were actually eavesdropping!”

“Brother Xiao…” Li Rong’er walked to the door, her face filled with aggrieved tears brimming in her eyes, “You said you would marry me as your wife, why only make me a concubine?

.co

How can you do this to me!”

With that, she didn’t wait for his reaction and ran away crying.

Xiao Yuchuan walked into the courtyard and looked at Xiao Yishan indifferently, “Second Brother, I will not meddle in your affairs with Li Rong’er.

Neither Fourth Brother nor I have ever asked you for anything.

Today, Third Brother also begs you to give up the thoughts you have toward my wife.

If it were not for you being my older brother, if it were someone else, I would have beaten him until he couldn’t find his teeth and made sure he’d never dare to have such thoughts again.

But you are my Second Brother, and if you continue with these thoughts, our brotherly bond is over.

You have your Li Rong’er, and Qingyue, from the very beginning, even if you had no other woman, could never be with you.

If you still care about our brotherhood, you should cut off these thoughts.

Even if you continue to harbor them, in the end, it will be a total waste of your efforts.”
