Chapter 1509: 1509 Return Contract

"No need to be upset," Su Qingyue said indifferently. "Such rumors will collapse on their own one day." With her abilities, there wasn’t a man in the world she wasn’t worthy of.

"Young Lady, you’re not angry at all?"

"Getting angry would be exactly what the Xiao couple wants," Su Qingyue said expressionlessly.

At that moment, a servant came to report, "Young Lady, Miss Tao from the Tao Mansion - Tao Meijiao, has come with her husband. They say they have something to discuss and are waiting for you in the living room."

"Have them come to Qin Garden."

"Yes." The servant turned and left. Shortly after, Tao Meijiao arrived with Xiao Yishan, followed by the maid Du Juan.

"Xiao Yue!" Meijiao grasped Su Qingyue’s hands enthusiastically as soon as she entered Qin Garden. "I have been wanting to come see you for a few days now. Did you miss me?"

Su Qingyue didn’t miss her, but it wouldn’t have been nice to say such a thing and hurt her feelings, so she just smiled faintly without answering, "You should be at home taking good care of your pregnancy. Why did you come over here?"

"I couldn’t wait for you to visit the Tao Mansion, so I had to come myself." Tao Meijiao gave a signal to the maid Du Juan, who understood and presented a wooden box in her hands, "This is a little token from my miss."

Su Qingyue politely said, "Meijiao, it’s good enough that you came to visit. There’s no need for gifts."

"It’s nothing much, just a bit of cubilose. It’s smooth and refreshing. Please try it."

Qingyue then instructed Yinzhu to accept the gift.

Tao Meijiao took out two contracts from her sleeve pocket, "These are the property deed for the new house and the land deed for over 33 acres of fields in Wushan Village, all under Yishan’s name and bought with your money. I am returning them to you now."

"Since I gave them to second brother originally, there’s no need to return them."

Tao Meijiao forcibly stuffed the contracts into Su Qingyue’s hands. "Do you remember what I said the first time I came to Wushan Village? I originally disapproved of Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe accepting your house and fields. I said that if I were with Xiao Qinghe, I would definitely return your land and new house to you. Although..." She looked at Xiao Yishan with unspoken affection, "the man I married is Xiao Yishan, my thoughts of not taking so much from you for nothing still haven’t changed."

Xiao Yishan also chimed in from the side, "Yue’er, keep the property deeds. They were originally yours. Truth be told, having taken your house and fields has always made me feel uncomfortable, and I’ve long thought of returning them to you."

"Indeed, I can’t let my husband lose even the most basic dignity," Tao Meijiao spoke up again.

"Then I won’t refuse," Su Qingyue said as she looked at the two property deeds in her hand. After confirming they were correct, she put them in her sleeve pocket. Second brother was now married to Tao Meijiao, and the Tao family was a wealthy family in town. They wouldn’t lack money in the future. She hadn’t given the gifts willingly in the first place, so if they were returned to her, then she would keep them.

Su Qingyue and Tao Meijiao entered the side room, leaving Xiao Yishan waiting in the yard.

In the room, Qingyue asked with concern, "Meijiao, is second brother treating you well?"

She nodded, "On the night of our wedding, Yishan was extremely delighted to find out that I was already more than a month pregnant. He’s already twenty-six, and considering his age, he is a latecomer to fatherhood. These past few days, he has been very attentive to me, taking great care in every aspect. How are you and Xiao Yuchuan getting along?"

"Third brother and I are doing well."

"The harmful rumors about you started spreading too fiercely after the Su Dashui couple were jailed," said Tao Meijiao with some concern. "The Xiao couple are not simple characters. I really worry that you might be at a disadvantage."
