Chapter 1256: 1256 eavesdropping in the corner Chapter 1256: 1256 eavesdropping in the corner The woman’s screaming from the bed was so loud that even the next door could hear it.

Next door, Su Qingyue pondered that the second brother must be really thirsty, getting it on with Li Rong’er as soon as they were back in the room during the daytime.

Xiao Qinghe, after all, was a virgin, his face so delicate that it flushed with a hint of red.

His clear gaze stole glances at Su Qingyue from time to time.

Qingyue, caught by his stealthy looks, actually felt a bit embarrassed.

She turned and went back to her room.

The room door was locked; she took out the key and unlocked it.

Walking into the room, it was just like when she had gone to the town beforeaEUR”no one had entered for several months, and a thin layer of dust had settled on the floor and the furniture.

She went out to the yard to get the broom and the bamboo trash can and began to sweep the floor.

Xiao Qinghe, turning his chair wheels, sat in his wheelchair at the outside of the door, watching the bustling figure inside.

Even while doing housework, there was an indescribable elegance in her every move.

She had become more beautiful than before.

When she first arrived at the Xiao family, she was regarded as the first ugliest wife everywhere, and she even didn’t allow him to eat with her at the table.

Since the second brother brought her back from the town, she had been changing slowly and gradually.

Now he could barely remember how she looked when she was considered ugly; his whole heart was filled with her striking beauty.

His gaze fell on the big red bedding on the bed.

During this time, the third brother and she were always not at home, and the wedding quilt had never been changed.

A flicker of desolation passed through his eyes.

She was originally his wife, yet she became his sister-in-law.

Every time he thought of this, his heart ached like it was being squeezed.

Looking at that big red wedding quilt, he found it particularly glaring.

Ever since she became a newlywed, how many times he had dreamed that it was not the third brother lying with her on the bed, but him holding her.

Su Qingyue glanced at him, “Fourth Brother, do you need anything?”

“Just wanted to see you,” he said, his voice indifferent, revealing no emotion.

She pursed her lips slightly and, without saying much, went into the kitchen to fetch a basin of hot water.

Yinzhu, who was frying vegetables, asked, “Young Lady, do you need hot water to wash your hands?”

“I’m going to wipe down the furniture.”

“I can do that kind of work; you don’t have to bother yourself with it,” said the maid.

“It’s fine, I have nothing else to do anyway.” She carried the water basin back to the room and wiped all the furniture clean.

Xiao Yuchuan came back and saw her doing housework, his brows furrowed, “Wife, don’t do these rough chores, it pains your husband to see you like this.”

“It’s all done,” she said as she took the now dirty water basin to a corner of the yard to empty it.

Xiao Yuchuan took the wooden basin from her hands.

Listening to the wild shrieks of the woman next door, it seemed as if Li Rong’er was making sure the whole village knew she was with the second brother.

A few villagers even stopped by the entrance of the courtyard to listen from the corner.

He put the wooden basin back in the kitchen and when he came back out to the yard, thankfully, the love sounds from next door had finally quieted down.

Xiao Yuchuan’s gaze fell on Qinghe, “Fourth Brother, I heard about what happened on the New Year’s day from the village chief and Fuquan.”

Qinghe’s face stiffened for a moment, and then he forced a bitter smile, “It’s nothing.”

Xiao Yuchuan looked distressed, “It’s third brother who has wronged you.” If only Fourth Brother’s legs hadn’t been crippled, how could a lowly maid like Li Rong’er ever bully him?

“It has nothing to do with third brother,” Qinghe replied.

“It’s my own incompetence.”

Though he spoke calmly, deep down he wished the third brother would feel more guilt.

“I’m going to settle the score with Li Rong’er!” Xiao Yuchuan was about to leave when Qinghe stopped him, “Third Brother, let it be.”

Just then, the courtyard door next door opened, and Xiao Yishan’s heavy footsteps could be heard outside the entrance of the courtyard.
