Chapter 1389: The truth of the fact 1389 Chapter 1389: The truth of the fact 1389 “Miss Gongsun is also someone who understands the broader picture.

If Su Qingyue is willing to demote herself to a concubine…” Shen Yun said, “Our difficulties would indeed be effortlessly resolved.

If she fails to see reason…”

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the crow’s feet at the corners became more pronounced.

Changing tack, “Master, if we get rid of Su Qingyue, Chuan’er might feel down for a while.

Yet, if we win over her heart, Chuan’er will listen to Su Qingyue in everything, which can actually lead to half the work done for the full reward.

Our task now is to be as good to Su Qingyue as possible.”

Xiao Chonghuan nodded in agreement, as if to show his consent.

…

In the Qin Garden courtyard, Xiao Yuchuan caught up to Su Qingyue’s steps, “Dear, are you angry?”

She turned around, “Angry about what?”

“I had the servant call you to treat Lady Xiao without your consent.” A trace of anxiety appeared on his handsome face, “Don’t let an irrelevant outsider affect your mood.”

“Not at all.” Her expression was as serene as a gentle breeze and floating clouds, “But as for you, I didn’t give you face by not examining Lady Xiao, you don’t mind, do you?”

“Of course not.” He drew her delicate body into his embrace, “My wife’s wishes are always my own.”

She buried her head in his shoulder, and for some reason, even though third brother’s affection for her remained unchanged, she felt they were becoming more distant.

“Dear, why don’t you want to treat Lady Xiao?”

“It’s simple, I find her unpleasant to look at.”

“Hmm.” He patted her back gently, “Then I find her unpleasant to look at as well.

I’ll order the servants to send them away right now.”

“Let it be.” She looked up at his handsome brows and eyes, “Third brother, I can tell that your biological parents are also enduring this for your sake.

First-class families have overwhelming power, and most importantly, the Xiao Chonghuan couple has no other descendants.

They will surely find methods to bring their biological son back to their side.”

“I don’t acknowledge them.”

“Once recognized as kin, you would have everything.

Power, wealth, all within easy reach.”

“In my heart, nothing is more important than you.” He held her, “My wife, my treasure, you are more important to me than my own life!”

“Third brother…”

“Even though I was once just a vendor selling goods, that still makes me a merchant, doesn’t it?” he said, “The goal of a merchant is always to seek profit.

For you, I could even give up my life; you have to believe me.”

She hugged him back, “Mm.

Just remember, no matter what happens in the future, you also have to trust me.”

“Alright.” He promised sincerely, as though something had crossed his mind, “Dear, I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Xiao Chonghuan previously took me aside to talk about the secrets of the Xiao Clan.

Apparently, a legitimate heir of the Xiao Family has a thumb-sized black birthmark at the back of their head, just beneath the crown of hair.

Hidden among the hair, this matter is not to be known by outsiders, unless one is an heir of the Xiao Family.”

“Oh?” She looked at his youthful face, then nestled back into his embrace, muttering gloomily, “Third brother, you have that birthmark on your head, but it’s covered by hair, so it’s not noticeable to most people.”

He nodded.

She clung to his embrace, filled with uncertainty.

With her intelligence, how could she not realize that the Xiao Chonghuan couple already saw her as a thorn in their flesh?

The head of the Xiao Family wasn’t originally Xiao Chonghuan but his brother Xiao Chongpei.

Now that the brother has died and the other has risen, who knows how many blood debts stain Xiao Chonghuan’s hands, he is certainly not as ‘benevolent’ as he appears on the surface.

People outside say that the previous Master of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chongpei, was killed by the direct bloodline of the Xiao Clan, but who knows the actual truth?
