Chapter 1496: Yishan put it down in 1496

She was going to part ways with her third brother.

"Wife..." Inexplicably, even though his wife showed no emotion, Xiao Yuchuan still felt an overwhelming panic, as if he were about to lose her.

He instantly regretted his actions and walked over to Su Qingyue. Without regard for Chang Haotian’s presence, he lowered his head to apologize, "Wife, I was wrong... I didn’t mean it like that; I was just jealous..."

Su Qingyue neither agreed nor disagreed, simply continuing to hold her tea cup, "Thank you for the tea, Master Chang."

Then she got up and left.

Xiao Yuchuan quickly followed behind her.

Chang Haotian watched the receding figures of the two, deep in thought.

"Master, you have invited Su Qingyue countless times, and she has not accepted even once," said the guard Chang Feng, who was lurking in the shadows, "Now that she has accepted, it seems Xiao Yuchuan doesn’t trust her much."

"I invited her to the Tea House for tea, but she insisted on the Elegant Garden courtyard," Chang Haotian sighed, "Her acceptance of the meeting was deliberate, for Xiao Yuchuan to see."

"Regardless, the day you ’win the beautiful woman’ is drawing near."

"Is that so? Seeing Qing’er unhappy makes my heart heavy too," he replied.

Su Dashui and his wife, who lived in the same yard but different rooms, came out and briskly paid their respects to Chang Haotian before leaving.

Niece Su Zhenzhu had entertained some thoughts about Master Chang, who was unmarried, but before she could get close, the guard named Chang Feng had put his sword to her neck, forcing her to abandon her intentions toward Master Chang.

Unexpectedly, instead of succeeding with Chuan, she ended up beaten half to death and sent back home.

As her uncle, Su Dashui felt remorse for not having taken good care of his niece. He went to Yi Garden to ask Lady Xiao for some silver taels, saying he wanted to go home, but was turned away by Shen Yun, who called him a despicable person not worth seeing, and naturally, they didn’t dare to defy Shen Yun’s wishes.

Their entire minds were focused on how to scrape together money.

The Su Family couple found the mansion tiresome and gradually figured out which rooms contained valuable items...

They planned to steal Su Qingyue’s large amount of silver notes, obtained from Shen Yun first, and then to steal the mansion’s valuables.

...

Su Qingyue came out of the Elegant Garden and saw Xiao Yishan looking around outside Qin Garden; she walked over, "Second brother..."

Xiao Yishan looked at her in her light pink dress, her features as exquisite as a painting. Not having seen her for a few days, she was still just as beautiful, stirring up emotions in him, yet he remained calm, "Yue’er."

"Are you here to see me or third brother?" Su Qingyue asked indifferently.

Xiao Yuchuan, who followed behind her, also greeted Xiao Yishan.

"Either you or third brother will do," Xiao Yishan said, "In two more days, Tao Meijiao and I will be getting married. I was working as a guard in the mansion, and now I’ve come to resign."

Su Qingyue just nodded slightly, "Second brother, you must treat Meijiao well; she’s a good girl."

"I will."

Su Qingyue gave Xiao Yuchuan a meaningful look, "Third brother, when second brother gets married, let’s transfer the banquet and wedding preparations from our mansion. Hurry up, and keep an eye on these few days’ arrangements."

"Alright," Xiao Yuchuan looked carefully at his wife’s serene face. She still cared about his second brother, which certainly meant that she did it for his sake. Did that mean his wife wasn’t that angry with him?

Xiao Yishan watched his third brother and Yue’er, a perfectly matched couple, feeling a sourness in his heart.

In his heart, the woman he had always loved was Yue’er. However, he had promised to give her up. And as a man, he needed to be responsible for Tao Meijiao; he also deserved a new life to completely let go of the past, "Third brother, Yue’er, second brother wishes you everlasting happiness."
