The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1435 - Chapter 1435 Dont call me old stuff

Chapter 1435: Don’t call me old stuff Chapter 1435: Don’t call me old stuff “Master!” Shen Yun was shocked. Hadn’t they agreed to separate Chuan’er and Yue’er? How could he…

When Xiao Yuchuan heard this, the coldness on his face dissipated, “Are your words true?”

“As the head of a family, my promise is as weighty as Mount Tai; how could it be false?” Xiao Chonghuan’s face was stern, “Chuan’er, you should know the determination it took for your father to make this promise, and the sacrifices that have been made. In this world, there are always trade-offs to be made. I can only say that I, Xiao Chonghuan, value you, my son, too greatly.”

Xiao Yuchuan looked at his father’s stern yet kind face, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.

Su Qingyue mockingly curled the corner of her lip. The third brother didn’t know the extent to which she had fallen out with the Xiao couple during the day; reconciliation was simply impossible.

Only a fool would believe in such a promise from Xiao Chonghuan.

“Let’s pretend today’s events never happened,” Xiao Chonghuan declared, “No one shall speak of or mention it again. Yue’er, you wanted three hundred taels of silver per night for food and accommodation fees; I’ll give you double.”

“Is Master Xiao trying to silence me with silver?” Su Qingyue sneered, “Why not make it ten times the amount then?”

Xiao Chonghuan’s expression changed, knowing that if he spoke, he would indeed have to pay that much silver, ten times over! A daily accommodation fee of 3,000 taels of silver was no joke, so instead of getting angry, he said coldly and harshly, “Chuan’er, you see, a woman should not be spoiled too much! It might not be your parents’ fault for being too indulgent with her.”

With a flick of his sleeve, he left.

Shen Yun felt that her husband’s tactics were powerful, finally leaving Su Qingyue with no retort, and quickly followed after him.

In the Yi Garden courtyard, Shen Yun said obsequiously, “Master, you are indeed formidable. That wretched woman Su is sharp-tongued, but only you can subdue her. Do you really intend to make her Chuan’er’s main wife? Miss Gongsun of the Gongsun Family would never condescend to be a concubine.”

“My words stand as spoken. It’s just that…” a flash of killing intent sparked in Xiao Chonghuan’s eyes, “a dead person, occupying the so-called position of the main wife that no one recognizes, when the time comes for Chuan’er to marry Miss Gongsun, he will still follow the rituals due to a main wife, and I believe the Gongsun Family won’t mind.”

“Master, are you saying we won’t keep that wretched woman around?”

“Previously, I thought she could be of use, to help me with my work. Now… Su Qingyue is not easy to manipulate, a disobedient chess piece is of no use to us!”

“Have you already arranged for someone to…” Shen Yun made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Foolish, is it time now?” Xiao Chonghuan mused thoughtfully, “What we want, is for Chuan’er to be wholeheartedly devoted to the Xiao Family. Su Qingyue holds too much weight in Chuan’er’s heart; I fear if Su Qingyue dies now, Chuan’er would fall into despondency. With Chang Haotian here, it might be useful to involve him.”

Shen Yun was not one to be outdone, “I understand. You want to eradicate Su Qingyue from Chuan’er’s heart before extinguishing her. To make a man disillusioned with a woman… I have plenty of ideas.”

“Then I will leave it to you, Lady,” he said.

…

Over at Qin Garden, Su Qingyue walked back to her room, followed by Xiao Yuchuan, who seemed somewhat pleased, “Wife, the Xiao couple won’t oppose us being together anymore.”

“Is that so.”

“Wife, don’t you believe it?”

“I will never believe those two old things.”

“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan’s expression soured a bit, “After all, they are my parents. Calling off the marriage with the Gongsun Family is no small sacrifice for the Xiao Family. Don’t call them ‘old things’ anymore.”
