Chapter 1439: 1439 Divorce Letter 4 Chapter 1439: 1439 Divorce Letter 4 Su Qingyue frowned, “It seems that Xiao Chonghuan is pretending to retract the Gongsun Family’s marriage.”

“Young Lady, I don’t understand…” Maid Yinzhu was utterly perplexed.

“The letter sent to the capital by the guard must be written about retracting the Gongsun Family’s marriage, and this letter, if I am not mistaken, was intentionally written for the husband to see,” she explained.

“Young Lady, could it be that the Xiao couple has come around and truly intends to cancel the marriage?” Yinzhu’s eyes lit up.

“Of course not.” Su Qingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, “It’s just a play to win over the husband’s heart. If they were willing to cancel the marriage, why would they have pretended to be good people for forty days. Xiao Chonghuan ranks fifth in the Xiao Family, nowhere close to the position of family head based on seniority. He ascended to his position by stepping over the dead bodies of his brothers. A person who cares about nothing but himself, how could he give up the chance to form a marriage alliance with the Gongsun Family.”

“Young Lady, then… what should we do?”

“Take it easy.”

“…” Yinzhu looked anxious, “I don’t understand…”

“Let nature take its course.” She, on the other hand, remained calm.

“Wife, I’m back.” Xiao Yuchuan’s voice rang out from outside the courtyard, and soon, his figure appeared in the side room, his expression brimming with excitement, “Wife, I have some good news for you.”

“What good news?” She saw his happy, handsome face and pretended to be interested as she asked.

“Xiao Chonghuan has already written to the capital, retracting the marriage with the Gongsun Family!” He wrapped his arms around her from behind as she sat at the table, “Wife, from now on you will be the only legitimate wife of a son from a first-class family.”

She pressed her lips together and said nothing.

He picked her up and sat down where she had been sitting, then had her sit on his thigh, “Wife, aren’t you happy?”

“Happy, how could I not be happy.” She set her cup back on the table.

“But I can’t see that you are happy…” he grumbled a bit.

“Some emotions are kept in the heart, and don’t necessarily have to show on the face.”

“Dear, you might have misunderstood Xiao Chonghuan. He is sincerely retracting the marriage. I just went over to Yi Garden, and happened to see Xiao Chonghuan finishing the retraction letter, ready to send someone to the capital. Now, the letter has already been sent.”

After hearing the son-in-law’s words, Maid Yinzhu thought of what the young lady had said earlier. She wanted to say something, but she kept quiet seeing the young lady didn’t speak.

“Hmm.” Su Qingyue gave a slight nod. Arguing against the factual things her third brother had witnessed was meaningless now.

Some truths can only be verified over time, such as whether they really retracted the marriage, which would have to wait for news from the capital.

She feared that such news would never come.

“Wife, I know you love me.” Xiao Yuchuan’s warm breath sprayed onto her neck, kissing her pure, unblemished neck, “They are, after all, my Father and Mother. If they didn’t mean to hurt you, let’s try to get along peacefully, okay?”

She remained silent.

Truth be told, she felt there was no longer ‘peace’ to speak of between her and the Xiao couple.

“I swear, if they try to hurt you, I’ll protect you with my life!” he declared gravely.

She turned her head to look at his handsome face and nodded, “Okay.”

The couple then affectionately had dinner together, and Xiao Yuchuan went to the bathhouse built next to the yard to bathe.

Su Qingyue quietly read medical books in the room.

“Young Lady…” Yinzhu hesitated.

She looked up from her book, “What is it?”

“Young Lady, why don’t you tell the son-in-law that Master Xiao couldn’t possibly retract the marriage?”
