The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1179 - Chapter 1179 1180 Haunted House 1

Chapter 1179: 1180 Haunted House 1 Chapter 1179: 1180 Haunted House 1 Like a specter’s lament.

It was just a single chuckle of resentful laughter, and upon closer listening, the laughter suddenly ceased, as if it were an illusion.

Looking around, aside from the cold wind blowing, not a ghostly shadow was seen.

In the cold night, within the desolate abandoned mansion, if it had been anyone else, they would have been so frightened they’d turn tail and run.

Su Qingyue looked toward Xiao Yuchuan’s calm expression, “Third brother, did you hear that laughter just now?”

He nodded, “I did.”

“And yet you weren’t frightened?”

He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, “I am your husband, even if there truly were ghosts, I would stand before you and not let them harm you.”

She was deeply moved by his words.

Third brother had no martial arts skills, but he was ready to protect her with his life.

“This haunted house, I’m set on it.” Su Qingyue spoke in a voice neither warm nor cold, it was unclear for whom she said it, as she left with Xiao Yuchuan…

climbing over the wall.

They went to the shop owner who sold carriage to retrieve their carriage; the shop owner didn’t complain about the late hour or the large sale of the carriage for fifty taels of silver.

Xiao Yuchuan drove the carriage down the main street of the town, while Su Qingyue sat inside the carriage.

The carriage had a wooden door and windows, and inside there was a long row of cushioned seats, as comfortable as modern cloth sofas.

Yuchuan was much relieved in his heart; his wife wouldn’t have to endure the cold wind anymore.

“Wife, where shall we go now?”

Before leaving the village, Su Qingyue had already explained to her second and fourth brothers that they were going out to purchase a shop, and as she might not make a choice immediately, they may not return to the village for a few days.

“Let’s go to the Tao Mansion,” Su Qingyue said.

“Meijiao always invites me to visit her home, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.”

“Oh.” He replied, sounding rather gloomy.

“What’s wrong, third brother, aren’t you happy?”

“I don’t really like going to her place.

Whenever Tao Meijiao is with you, she is so chatty, always pulling you into endless conversation; I find it very annoying,” he said, embarrassed to admit that her presence diverted his wife’s attention and monopolized her company, stirring his jealousy.

“In life, there cannot be just love; there can be friendship too,” she said, not taking his side.

“If third brother dislikes the Tao Mansion so much, we’ll just stay one night and leave tomorrow morning.

Next time we need lodging, we’ll just rent a room at the inn.”

“Mm.” He agreed wholeheartedly.

Staying at the inn meant being alone with his wife, free to do as he pleased with her in their room.

Upon arriving at the Tao Mansion’s entrance, Xiao Yuchuan helped Su Qingyue down from the carriage.

The gatehouse initially didn’t recognize them, but as soon as they mentioned Su Qingyue’s name, the servant immediately welcomed them into the Mansion.

The carriage was taken to the stable by the Mansion’s servants.

In the living room, the Maid had already served tea to Master Xiao Yuchuan and Lady Xiao.

“Master Xiao Yuchuan, Lady Xiao, please wait a moment.

Someone has gone to inform the young Lady of your arrival,” the Maid said respectfully.

The two sat down on chairs, and soon, a middle-aged man with a goatee and dressed in a brocade robe entered the living room.

This man was Tao Meijiao’s father, Master Tao.

“It’s quite rare that you…

come to visit,” Master Tao courteously approached Su Qingyue.

He was very grateful to his daughter’s savior.

Su Qingyue stood up, “Master Tao, I’ve come to see Meijiao.”

“She is in her room and will come shortly,” Master Tao assessed Su Qingyue’s stunning beauty.

“Meijiao told me you had removed the medicine from your face, that your beauty was extraordinary, and I thought perhaps she was exaggerating.

But to my surprise, indeed, you possess a beauty that would make kingdoms and nations surrender.”
