Little bastard followed behind her, its injury had healed, so she let it be.
The three men in the room saw her leave the courtyard, Xiao Yuchuan shouted, âWife, where are you going?â
âGoing to the river to take a bath,â she replied.
âNo, wife!â he said worriedly, âWhat if someone sees you and you get exposed?â
âI wonât say, who knows. If you speak louder, everyone will know.â As she finished talking, she had already walked far away. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yuchuan sat by the window, resting his hand on the bed, looking at her receding figure, his face turned bitter melon.
Similar worries filled Yishan and Qingheâs eyes.
âWife has a bold heartâ¦â murmured Xiao Yuchuan, âA womanâs reputation is so important; have never heard of a woman daring to go to the river for a bath beforeâ¦â
âAs long as we donât say anything, no one will knowâ¦â Xiao Qinghe said, âI believe she wonât let anyone see.â
Xiao Yuchuan thought about the time when his wife tried to âdrown herselfâ before, initially thinking she was jealous of Liu Xianglian and cared so much about him that she didnât want to live anymore. When he asked her, she agreed, saying that she did it for himâ¦
Now that he thought about it⦠his wife was clearly lying to him.
He could now be sure that his wife didnât try to drown herself that time; she went to⦠take a bath.
The reason why he didnât think so before was because who would think that a woman would go to the river to bathe.
Xiao Yishan thought about the same issue, and when he recalled how he once thought she couldnât bear it and dragged her out of the water, he felt embarrassed. It turned out she wasnât trying to drown herself⦠He thought she cared too much about his third brother, and everytime he thought about it, he felt heartache.
His heart slightly relaxed, he didnât want his wife to care too much about other men, including⦠third brother.
Su Qingyue carried the wooden washbasin to a crossroad on the side of the village, just about to take a turn to the riverside path at the south of the village.
She saw two people coming out of the village ahead.
Her vision was better than most, and with the help of the moonlight, she recognized a middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties.
The Xiao family lived on the edge of the village with few households nearby.
It was probably eight or nine oâclock in the evening now, and these two were coming this way at this time.
Looking at the middle-aged manâs appearance, Su Qingyue thought he resembled Xiao Yuchuanâs mistress Liu Xianglianâs father â Liu Laoshi.
On the day when the second brother was bitten by a poisonous snake, she had beaten Liu Laoshiâs wife, Liu Zhengshi. She felt these two people had ill-intentions and came to the Xiao Family to cause trouble.
So, she decided not to go to the river to take a bath just yet and went back to the house instead.
âEh, wife, didnât you say you were going to the river for a bath?â Xiao Yuchuan saw her coming back from the window, âWhy did you come back so soon? Itâs good that you didnât go. A new wife going to the river for a bath, what would that look likeâ¦â
While he was still mumbling, Su Qingyue put the washbasin into the kitchen.
When she came out, she saw that the middle-aged man and the young man had indeed entered the Xiao Familyâs courtyard.
Xiao Yuchuanâs voice sounded, âLiu Laoshi, Liu Dayou, what are you doing coming to my house so late at night?â
Before Liu Laoshi could say anything, Liu Dayou spoke, âOur Liu Family and your Xiao Family, still have accounts to settle!â
âWhat account?â Xiao Yishanâs cold voice rang out.
Liu Dayou looked through the window into the Xiaoâs master bedroom, seeing the three men sitting on the bed, and then saw the bamboo pieces on Xiao Yishanâs broken leg, his courage grew.
He was the son of Liu Laoshiâs elder brother, here to give his second Uncle support..
