The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1422 - Chapter 1422 1422 lifts the village girl up

Chapter 1422: 1422 lifts the village girl up Chapter 1422: 1422 lifts the village girl up Shen Yun’s facial expression stiffened as the raging fury in her heart threatened to burst from her throat.

Xiao Chonghuan, too, was extremely angered by Su Qingyue and Chang Haotian, and coldly questioned Shen Yun, “Are you willing to chop off your hand? If you are, the Xiao Family will remember your sacrifice.”

“I…” Shen Yun’s face turned so white it was utterly bloodless. If she said she was unwilling, she would appear cowardly, but how could she possibly agree to such a thing?

No amount of money could replace a hand, and if she really chopped it off, becoming disabled, how could she live afterward?

A smart woman would certainly not do such a foolish thing.

Tears welled up in Shen Yun’s eyes. “Master, ever since I married into the Xiao Family, I’ve followed my husband’s lead, guarded the Xiao home, and stayed by your side for decades, **** always remembering to add clothes for you, afraid every night that you might catch cold. With great difficulty, I bore Wenxuan for you, but our son passed away. I endured hardships to give birth to Chuan’er, yet Chuan’er has been away from us for so many years, I…”

“After all that, it’s just that you can’t bear to part with one of your hands!” Xiao Chonghuan was a perspicacious man who would not fail to understand the trick his wife was playing, “If you want to keep your hand, keep it. Chopping it off would only make the world see Xiao Chonghuan as impotent; I can’t afford to lose face like that.”

“Thank you, Master.” Shen Yun had been waiting for him to back down. Although her ruse had been seen through by her husband, subjecting her to humiliation, she had, after all, saved her hand.

She bowed her head, daring not to say more.

Stealing glances at Su Qingyue’s stunning beauty, she wished she could tear apart the face of this shameless woman!

“Yinzhu, prepare the pen and ink for Master Xiao to write the IOU,” Su Qingyue said indifferently. “The IOU should state the sum of 110,000, principal plus interest.”

“Yes.” Yinzhu left the yard and quickly returned with a tray, placing the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

“Will my Maid do the ink grinding or will Master Xiao send someone?” Su Qingyue truly didn’t want to take his money, “Utilizing a servant from my mansion incurs a fee. I’m really tired of you, Master Xiao. Asking you for food and accommodation fees has been such an ordeal. It appears you only know how to stay and eat without paying the bill. I certainly do not wish to have to ask you again next time, only for you to keep dallying.”

Master Xiao lost all his dignity, “Sharp-tongued and quick-witted!”

“Master Xiao, please don’t say such a thing,” Su Qingyue smiled, revealing her baby teeth that were neatly white and dazzling, “Your son’s teeth might look nice enough, but mine are now even more pleasing than his.”

“I have no desire to match wits with you,” Xiao Chonghuan said coolly, his face stern. “Hurry and release my acupoints.”

Su Qingyue gave Yinzhu a meaningful glance.

Yinzhu, understanding the cue, removed the silver needles Su Qingyue had previously inserted into Xiao Chonghuan’s acupoints.

Xiao Chonghuan instantly regained mobility. Having been immobilized by the silver needles for a while, as soon as he could move, his entire body slumped, but the Maid Shuang’er was quick to support him, “Master, be careful.”

He straightened his back and walked to the stone table in the courtyard, instructing Shuang’er, “Grind the ink.”

“Yes.” After Shuang’er finished grinding the ink, Xiao Chonghuan picked up the pen and started writing, saying, “It’s not that I can’t afford the ink-grinding fee, but using a servant from your mansion just lowers my standing. It seems the Master has the look of a village girl, and the servants aren’t presentable.”

Su Qingyue showed no reaction upon hearing this; however, Chang Haotian was infuriated, “Xiao Chonghuan, are you deliberately courting death?”

“Master Chang, I’m merely stating the truth,” Xiao Chonghuan said with an imposing manner. “If Su Qingyue were your wife, she’d naturally be a phoenix that has ascended to the branches. Since she doesn’t acknowledge being my son’s wife and is not your spouse either, in the eyes of first-class families, calling her a village girl is already elevating her status.”
