The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1510

Chapter 1510: 1510

"No matter, I can handle my own affairs."

After chatting for a while longer, Tao Meijiao rose to take her leave.

Su Qingyue escorted her to the entrance of the courtyard and said to Xiao Yishan standing to one side, "Second brother, Meijiao is a good girl, you must treat her well in the future."

"I will," Xiao Yishan nodded.

Qingyue reiterated, "Second brother, not only do you need to be good to Meijiao, but you also must not entertain thoughts of taking another wife or concubine in the future. If you do her wrong, I won’t let you off."

"Yue’er, rest assured," Xiao Yishan sincerely promised, "The past... is all behind us. I will definitely cherish Meijiao in the future."

Qingyue understood that what her second brother meant was that his feelings for her were a thing of the past, "That’s good then."

Tao Meijiao grasped Su Qingyue’s hand, moved, "Xiao Yue, you are so good to me."

"You must take care of your health during pregnancy," Su Qingyue smiled and urged a few more words of caution.

Once the pair had left, Su Qingyue sent Yinzhu with a generous gift to the Tao Mansion, instructing the servant that it was supplemental nourishment for Tao Meijiao.

When Yinzhu returned from the Tao Mansion, she saw Su Qingyue sitting alone in the yard, lost in thought, and waved her hand in front of her eyes, "Young Lady, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, time can seem both slow and fast. Both second brother and Meijiao have become parents," she came back to her senses and picked up the teacup from the table, taking a sip.

"Miss Tao is living quite well now," Yinzhu said. "When the servant was at the Tao Mansion, she saw Master Tao carefully assisting Miss Tao as she walked, for fear she might fall. Miss Tao’s condition makes it inconvenient for her, and Master Tao’s health isn’t very good either. The servant heard that second Master has already started to take charge of the Tao Mansion’s business, leaving early and returning late, very dedicated and attentive. The servants in the Tao Mansion all say that although second Master’s left face is damaged, and he is not good-looking, he is truly a good person."

Hearing this, a smile appeared at the corners of Su Qingyue’s lips.

"Young Lady, you are truly too good to Miss Tao," Yinzhu remarked. "The gifts you sent her are worth several hundreds of taels. It’s not much different from Miss Tao returning to you the fields she didn’t take from second Master."

"Some things are not a matter of money," Su Qingyue said indifferently. "I don’t lack money now," what I lack is love, love that comes with double the trust. She always felt that there was still some lack of trust between her and third brother. "That Meijiao willingly returned the fields I gave to second brother, and that he agreed, shows that both are not greedy. Sometimes, character can be much more valuable than money. I can’t deny though, sometimes, even one cent can push a good man to the brink."

"Young Lady, although Miss Tao is good, the servant feels that she has gradually grown distant from you," Yinzhu pondered for a moment. "Before your Mansion was built, Miss Tao used to visit every few days, but since the Xiao couple came, and after she met the Xiao couple, it’s been about one and a half months, and she has only visited once. She is probably afraid that the Xiao Clan may not tolerate you and that could affect her."

"People, focusing on self-preservation, cannot be blamed. Let’s not talk about this anymore," she stood up and walked towards the side room.

Yinzhu followed her, chattering nonstop, "Young Lady, the servant has found that Miss Tao, after becoming a mother, emits a kind of maternal glow. Why don’t you also have a child with the son-in-law sooner rather than later?"

Su Qingyue stiffened, her monthly period was due today, yet it hadn’t come.

Could it be she was pregnant?

She felt her pulse, and there seemed to be signs of a joyous pulse.
