Chapter 1174: 1174 Water recedes and rocks emerge 5 Chapter 1174: 1174 Water recedes and rocks emerge 5 Regarding Su Qingyue, his initial feeling was that despite her ugliness, her aura was quite unique, and he had always been attracted to her.

Lately, she had become so beautiful…

beautiful that…

Just like now, taking one more glance at her made him feel as though his soul had been hooked away.

It was just that the man she liked had never been him.

He had also thought about using schemes to get her, but now, having heard how she easily cracked a murder case that nearly misled the government office, he realized her abilities were truly beyond ordinary people.

To plot against Su Qingyue…

seemed like courting death.

Actually, he had prepared a plan to snatch Su Qingyue, and now he couldn’t help but feel relieved that his schemes had not yet been put into action when Zhu Daqi’s incident occurred.

Otherwise, Su Qingyue might not have become his woman, and he, Li Gui, would already have met with disaster.

After all, Li Gui was a learned man; although he fancied Su Qingyue, she wasn’t indispensable to him.

.Co

And now having been saved by her…

It was time for him to let go.

Li Gui, looking at Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes, was filled with envy and mockingly said, “You, Xiao Yuchuan, aren’t necessarily more handsome than I am, so how did you manage to land such a fine woman as Su Qingyue?”

Xiao Yuchuan glanced at Li Gui with an expression mixing envy and jealousy, “I don’t know either, maybe it’s just the fortune I’ve accumulated over countless lifetimes.”

Li Gui didn’t ridicule him further, his gaze on Su Qingyue carried a hint of complexity, “Su Qingyue, for this matter…

thank you.”

“Don’t mention it, it was just a coincidence.” She was clearing her own name, not saving Li Gui.

“I still need to thank you.” His loneness apparent, he walked to the courtyard door, looked back, and cast a glance at Xiao Yuchuan, “Chuan, take good care of Su Qingyue, or I’ll seize the chance to snatch her away at any time!”

“You won’t have that chance!” Xiao Yuchuan responded decisively.

“Is that so.” He didn’t say much more, just walked away accompanied by the Li Family members.

Xiao Yuchuan scooped up Su Qingyue sideways and headed towards his own home.

Amidst the crowd, the tall and sturdy figure of Xiao Yishan stood there, watching his third brother happily carrying Yue’er, his heart a mix of jealousy and sourness.

At the same time, he was filled with admiration for Yue’er’s swift resolution of the case.

“Yo, Yuchuan is carrying his wife, eh…” chuckled a young woman.

A male villager joined in, “If I had such a pretty wife, I’d carry her every day too…”

“Haha, too bad your wife doesn’t have even a quarter of a quarter of a quarter of a quarter of her beauty…”

…

All along the way, carried by Xiao Yuchuan, the villagers cast teasing, suggestive…

all sorts of gazes at them.

In the feudal ancient times, being carried like this, even if it were the husband carrying the wife, would still provoke gossip.

Feeling shy, Su Qingyue said, “Put me down now.”

“No,” and Xiao Yuchuan held her even tighter.

Others seeing this…

it’s not good…”

“I like it when others see.” He smiled, flashing a mouthful of bright and even white teeth, “I like letting everyone know that you, Su Qingyue, are admired by me, Xiao Yuchuan, alone, that I cherish you, I like you!”

“Alright, alright.” Su Qingyue simply buried her head in his chest.

“Yo, Yuchuan, you’re carrying a woman around in broad daylight, aren’t you afraid your fierce wife will tear the roof off?” Mrs.

Qian remarked teasingly upon seeing them.

“I’m carrying my wife.

Your husband Qian Duotian has died, instead of mourning him at home, you’re out here wandering aimlessly, aren’t you afraid your dead husband will come looking for you tonight?” Xiao Yuchuan shot back.

Mrs.

Qian was superstitious, and just as a cold wind blew by, chilling her and making her shiver, she thought the ghost of her deceased husband was coming for her and quickly ran off.
