The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1492

Chapter 1492: 1492

Yinzhu anxiously said that Su Zhenzhu had brought a tray of cakes into her room and even climbed onto her bed. She must be aiming to seduce the son-in-law while she was away.

She also said that Xiao Yuchuan believed it was the Xiao couple who had caught her, leading to a quarrel between them.

Just now, third brother’s attitude toward that wretched woman Su Zhenzhu was to her satisfaction.

She even wanted to put an end to this farce, deal with Su Zhenzhu as third brother had suggested, then beat the three Mr. Sus senseless and drive them away.

But when Shen Yun plainly declared her stance upon entering, saying she believed in third brother, she saw a flicker in third brother’s eyes.

Third brother must have been grateful that his birth mother trusted him so much.

What were those three Mr. Sus, after all? They were merely three insignificant chess pieces brought in by Shen Yun.

She, Su Qingyue, didn’t even take them seriously.

However, regarding the Xiao couple, she hesitated because of her concern for third brother and didn’t make her move.

Suddenly, she felt a bit tired.

If third brother were just a village man and not a noble legitimate son, they would have been living a much happier life.

Given third brother’s current family background, she, Su Qingyue, couldn’t have both kinship and the family.

If it were any woman of the time, it would be simple; just become a concubine, letting her husband marry Gongsun Qianru and become ’great.’She, Su Qingyue, was not one of them.

The Xiao Family in the capital had been sending messages by Pigeon Messaging frequently of late. The Xiao couple surely wouldn’t stay long; they were bound to take third brother away.

That’s fine.

She, Su Qingyue, all by herself, wouldn’t mind seeing him off.

Or perhaps, when her patience ran out, she would draw the line with him first.

"Wife, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Yuchuan stared at her slightly dazed expression, a sense of unease spreading in his heart.

"I’m a bit sleepy. The rest of you, please leave for now," Su Qingyue said indifferently.

"But... the matter hasn’t been settled yet..." Xiao Yuchuan was waiting for his wife’s attitude.

Shen Yun immediately spoke up, "This matter has wronged Yue’er. Let no one disturb her now. I’ll handle it."

After the group left Qin Garden, Su Qingyue saw Xiao Yuchuan lingering and said, "Third brother, you should go too."

Xiao Yuchuan left the room.

Su Qingyue glanced at the big bed, distasted the spot where Su Zhenzhu had lain, and promptly ordered, "Zhu’er, go change the bedding to a clean set. Throw this quilt away."

"Yes."

...

Some time later, when Xiao Yuchuan came back, he saw that his wife had already gone to bed. So, he didn’t wake her up.

After what had happened, he didn’t dare to touch her that night, just lay holding her in the quilt.

In the darkness, holding her exquisitely shaped body, he felt both content and affectionate.

A normal woman, upon seeing her husband with another woman in bed, would have flown into a rage immediately.

Yet she was so calm; should he say it was because she trusted him too much, or because she didn’t care at all?

The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Third brother, can’t sleep?" Su Qingyue’s voice, as pleasant as the music of heaven, rose in the darkness, devoid of any hoarseness, clearly indicating she hadn’t slept either.

"Wife, you’re awake too?" Xiao Yuchuan suddenly turned over, pinning her beneath him, looking directly at her, "I thought you, heartless woman, would be sleeping soundly even after such an event."

"I can’t sleep. Are you pleased?"

"Wife, are you jealous?" He curled up the corners of his lips in a smile.

Too bad it was pitch black, and even though they were close, she couldn’t see his expression clearly.

Could it be just like her feelings for him, growing more and more incomprehensible?

"No," she shook her head.

He grew unhappy, "You really don’t care at all?"
