The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1448 - Chapter 1448 You are needed in 1448

Chapter 1448: You are needed in 1448. Chapter 1448: You are needed in 1448. Xiao Yuchuan didn’t say a word.

Suddenly, Xiao Yishan pleaded, “Third brother, will you help me, please? Just one word from you, and I could be with Meijiao!”

“I haven’t even acknowledged Master Xiao and Lady Xiao.” Xiao Yuchuan shook his head, “I can’t help you.”

“Your parents hold so much power and influence, why wouldn’t you acknowledge them?” Xiao Yishan said stiffly, “Do you really intend to relinquish the heritage of a first-class family and spend a lifetime cooped up in this small town of Longwan?” “What’s wrong with that?”

“Third brother, even if you don’t acknowledge them, Master Xiao and Lady Xiao are still your biological parents.”

“Mind your own business regarding my affairs, second brother.”

“It’s such a good family background to not acknowledge, I don’t want you to regret it in the future!”

“I’ve told you, my business is not your concern!” Xiao Yuchuan became a little angry.

“Oh, what’s this all about?” Shen Yun came over with the help of the servant girl Shuang’er, “What’s going on with the two brothers, why the quarrel?”

“Lady Xiao.” Xiao Yishan bowed respectably.

“Oh, come now, no need for such formalities.” Shen Yun said with a kind face, “Yishan, although you’re not my biological son, you’re like a second son to me as Yuchuan’s brother. If there’s anything, just tell me, if I can help, I definitely will.”

Upon hearing her say this, although Xiao Yishan intended to ask for her help, seeing the dark expression on his third brother’s face, he thought better of it and said, “Thank you, Lady Xiao, I… it’s nothing.”

Shen Yun did not press him further.

Xiao Yuchuan dropped a line, “I have things to tend to at the shop,” and left.

Xiao Yishan had also walked toward the backyard when Shen Yun sent Shuang’er to call him back.

He asked confusedly, “Did Lady Xiao summon me for something?”

“I heard that you fancy Miss Tao of the Tao Mansion?” Shen Yun got straight to the point.

Xiao Yishan nodded.

“Miss Tao is beautiful and lively, I think she’s perfectly suited to you,” Shen Yun said.

Xiao Yishan said bitterly, “I’m just a village man from the mountains, not worthy of Miss Tao. My desire to marry her is nothing but my own unrequited affection.”

“What’s there to be unworthy of,” Shen Yun replied seriously, “Yuchuan calls you ‘third brother,’ with his status, only Tao Meijiao could be considered unworthy of you.”

“Lady Xiao flatters me. It’s just Xiao Yi’s wishful thinking.”

“Enough…” Shen Yun waved her hand, “I heard everything you said to Chuan’er just now. If Chuan’er won’t help you, I will.”

“This…” Xiao Yishan looked surprised, “That’s not necessary.”

“You’re so earnest, yet the Tao Mansion is already arranging for suitors to meet with Tao Meijiao. If you hesitate any longer, Tao Meijiao might soon be married to someone else. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll take care of this for you, and you don’t let Chuan’er know.”

“But…”

“There are no ‘buts.'” Shen Yun’s face was full of kindness, “As I said, I consider you like my own son. Your marriage is a matter for the Xiao Family. Just wait for the good news, and in three days, go to the Tao Mansion to propose.”

“Won’t you thank the Lady of the house?” Shuang’er intervened on her mistress’s behalf.

“Thank you, Lady Xiao.” Xiao Yishan, so eager to win Tao Meijiao’s hand, bowed his thanks.

“There’s nothing more; you may leave,” Shen Yun gestured with her hand.

After Xiao Yishan left, the servant girl Shuang’er asked in confusion, “Lady, why would you help him?”

“Xiao Yishan and Chuan’er grew up in the same house since they were young; their affection for each other runs deep, and even Su Qingyue has lived in the home for a long time. Helping Xiao Yishan is to owe me a favor; there might come a time when I need his help.”
