The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1254 - Chapter 1254 1254

Chapter 1254: 1254 Chapter 1254: 1254 Xiao Yishan’s tall and robust frame stiffened as he pushed her away, “With so many people around, what does it look like to be hugging and embracing each other!”

Her lips pouted, “I couldn’t help it when I saw you.”

“Get out of here.” Xiao Yishan’s facial expression was a bit impatient.

His initial novelty for Li Rong’er had faded.

He had merely acquiesced to keep her around.

Having not seen her for so long, he realized that he didn’t miss her at all, almost forgetting she existed.

Li Rong’er didn’t actually care about Xiao Yishan either, she was afraid he would come back and Xiao Qinghe would tattle.

The incident that happened on New Year’s Day…

She feared that Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue might side with Xiao Qinghe without looking into the matter just because…

though indeed it was she who first told Xiao Qinghe to take the money.

But she was his sister-in-law, after all; was it wrong to ask him for some money?

She gave Xiao Qinghe a warning look, and he remained expressionless.

It was Xiao Yuchuan who, noticing Li Rong’er’s gaze, frowned and asked, “Fourth Brother, did something happen during this period?”

Xiao Qinghe lowered his head to look at his useless, crippled leg.

As a man, he had to rely on his brothers to stand up for him.

Not wanting to owe Third Brother anything, and not wanting Qingyue to think less of him, he shook his head, “It’s nothing.”

Li Rong’er, afraid that Xiao Qinghe would scare her with his two brothers’ backing, turned pale with fear.

Seeing that he said nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, “What could have happened?

While you weren’t here, I came to see Fourth Brother often.

I may not have gone above and beyond but I did give my best effort.”

“Really.” Xiao Yuchuan’s sharp gaze circled Li Rong’er’s slightly pale face, clearly not believing her words, but since Fourth Brother wasn’t speaking up, it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

Li Rong’er, seeing that Xiao Yishan was moving all the goods to Qinghe’s kitchen, said discontentedly, “Brother Xiao, why are you giving Fourth Brother so many things?

I didn’t even get to eat any meat over the New Year.”

Although she was exaggerating, this New Year truly wasn’t celebrated well.

She was beaten all over by Xiao Qinghe, with her wrist also fractured.

The village chief told her to pay for her own medical treatment.

The pocket money Xiao Yishan had given her wasn’t enough for the medical expenses, and she added quite a bit from her own pocket.

They didn’t buy any New Year’s goods, and all they had to eat was the game meat previously hunted by Xiao Yishan.

“They’re all goods Third Brother bought for Fourth Brother, so naturally they go to Fourth Brother’s house.” Xiao Yishan’s tone was a bit cold.

This woman really, acting like she’s never seen a cartful of goods before, even if she didn’t buy any New Year’s goods, the meat he had hunted and dried before was plentiful, and she wasn’t lacking meat to eat.

.CO

Only meat products were stacked up in the kitchen.

For the rest of the goods, Xiao Yishan took the key from Qinghe and put them in his storage room.

Jiang Yinzhu walked up to Xiao Qinghe and curtseyed, “Maid Jiang Yinzhu, at your service, Fourth Master.”

Being referred to as ‘Fourth Master,’ Xiao Qinghe felt slightly uncomfortable, “And you are?”

“She’s the new maid I’ve taken on,” said Su Qingyue.

Qinghe nodded slightly, “Qingyue, it must have been hard on you.

It’s right for you to have a servant to attend to you.”

Li Rong’er’s gaze fixed on Yinzhu, noticing that although her appearance was better than average, she clearly wasn’t a young girl anymore, probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Li Rong’er thought, could this shameless wretch be intending to climb onto the master’s bed under the guise of being a servant girl?

But even if she wanted to climb, as Su Qingyue’s servant girl, she would certainly be climbing Xiao Yuchuan’s bed, which wouldn’t bother Li Rong’er at all.

Yinzhu felt uncomfortable under Li Rong’er’s strange stare which almost made her want to rebuke with a “What are you looking at?”
