Chapter 1531: 1531 divorced 2

Xiao Qinghe’s gaze turned to Su Qingyue, "Do you want to go?"

She shook her head, "Seeing him again is meaningless. Fourth Brother, you should go. As brothers, you should say your farewells."

"Then... I shall leave." Xiao Qinghe asked calmly, "Do you have any message that you want me to convey to him?"

"No."

Just as he wheeled out of the yard, Su Qingyue called stopped him, "Fourth Brother..."

A stiffness seized Xiao Qinghe’s back, "Qingyue, you... are you planning to go?"

He didn’t want her to convince Third Brother to stay.

Because if she did... he would never have a chance to be with her.

Actually, he also understood that even if Third Brother were not in the picture, she still would not accept him.

But he... did not wish for her to belong to another man.

At the same time, he feared that her separation from Third Brother would cause her grief...

Truly, the human heart is complex.

She smiled faintly, "I have a letter I want you to deliver to Third Brother, Fourth Brother, please wait a moment." She instructed Maid Yinzhu standing beside her, "Zhu’er, prepare the pen and ink. Bring the carmine."

"Yes."

The paper and pen were quickly brought forward, and Su Qingyue, moving neither too fast nor too slowly, started grinding the ink. She picked up the brush pen and carefully inscribed three characters on the top line.

Xiao Qinghe watched her hand as she wrote, noticing a moment of surprise flashing through his clear eyes due to her extreme slowness.

His heart ached tremendously for her.

She had given too much for the Xiao Family, it shouldn’t be like this...

He desperately wanted to stop her, but... this was the outcome he hoped for.

Biting his lower lip, he summoned all his willpower to avoid interfering.

Aside from the two characters in the first line that Su Qingyue wrote slowly, the rest of the letter flowed from her pen without pause, and she quickly signed her name at the end. Once the ink was dry, she pressed her handprint with the carmine.

Maid Yinzhu, who knew how to read, watched her young lady write the content, feeling a mix of shock and sympathy for her mistress, "Young Lady, you shouldn’t..."

"A clean break... let it be a clean break." Su Qingyue folded the finished letter, placed it inside an envelope, and handed it to Xiao Qinghe, "Deliver it personally into your Third Brother’s hand."

Qinghe nodded.

"Fourth Brother, with your Third Brother going to the capital city and Second Brother having started his own family, you must take care of yourself," Su Qingyue smiled.

"Don’t I have you?" Qinghe said nonchalantly, "I’ll go bid farewell to Third Brother first."

Su Qingyue waved her hand, "Go ahead."

She watched as Fourth Brother rode away in his wheelchair.

It was as if she saw that handsome and scholarly boy next door from Wushan Village, smiling at her with an implicit yet impatient smile.

A twinge of pain shot through her lustrous ebony eyes, and she silently thought to herself, "I’m sorry, Fourth Brother."

...

Outside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, two lavish carriages stood parked. Xiao Chonghuan couple were seated in one of them, while Xiao Yuchuan stood outside the other, supported by a guard.

Shen Yun lifted the carriage curtain and, seeing her son glancing around now and then, called out, "Yuchuan, we should set off now."

This was already her tenth reminder.

"Just a little longer," Xiao Yuchuan responded with a pale face.

"You’ve already waited one hour, Su Qingyue is not coming," Shen Yun stated matter-of-factly.

"Who said I’m waiting for my wife... Su Qingyue?" Xiao Yuchuan stubbornly retorted.

"Then whom are you waiting for?"

"I’m waiting for Second Brother and Fourth Brother." He truly did not want to see anyone else, only his wife. Yes, even if she had betrayed him, he still wanted to see her.

It was only at this moment that he realized he didn’t actually want to go to the capital city; he wanted to stay by her side!

If only she would show up and tell him to stay, he would definitely not leave.
