Chapter 684: I've been tolerating you for a long time.

Before, he would always call her tenderly as Yue’er, or lovingly and carefully call her wife…

This was the first time he called her by her full name. She didn’t feel any anger, “Xiao Yishan, I have endured you for a long time!”

Qinghe and Yuchuan never expected that their wife and second brother would suddenly turn against each other, both of them wearing a solemn expression.

“Second brother…” Xiao Qinghe’s voice was tinged with pain, “You shouldn’t treat your wife like this, she has given too much, far too much for this family. Please give her back the deed of sale.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fourth Brother’s words somewhat dampened Xiao Yishan’s irritation, “Fourth Brother, do you know that if I return the deed of sale to her, I would lose her.”

“Binding her with a piece of contract, would she be happy?” Xiao Qinghe shook his head, “Dear wife has never owed anything to our family. Second brother, you weren’t like this before…”

Xiao Yishan’s body stiffened, realizing how despicable he was being, especially when facing a woman who had given everything for the Xiao Family, “Yue’er…”

Su Qingyue spoke coldly, “I indeed owe the Xiao family. If it weren’t for me, the family would not have spent sixteen taels of silver to buy me. If it weren’t for me stealing eight taels, the family wouldn’t have faced such difficulties. If it weren’t for me, the family wouldn’t have owed Granny Sun six taels of silver and been forced into debt. However, I’ve earned so much money, the debt I owed has long been paid off, even more than what was required.”

She had taken responsibility for the eight taels of silver the original owner had stolen, since she now occupied her body.

“Yue’er, our feelings for each other cannot be measured with money,” Xiao Yishan disagreed.

She retorted, “What should they be measured with then? Your false affection, or threats?”

“I…” His resolute face was filled with guilt.

Xiao Qinghe’s eyes were filled with unbearable pain, he spoke hoarsely, “Second brother, Fourth brother begs you… please return the deed of sale to your wife. Even if she leaves the Xiao family, as long as she’s happy, that’s enough…”

His face turned pale with distress, he closed his eyes in pain, “Fourth brother, precisely because I care too much for my wife, I can’t let her be free.”

“Second brother…” Xiao Qinghe wanted to say something more.

Xiao Yishan took big strides, leaving the Xiao Family’s courtyard.

Xiao Yuchuan patted Qinghe’s shoulder, “Fourth brother, don’t be sad.”

He sat in the wheelchair and looked up, “Third brother… ”

Xiao Yuchuan approached Su Qingyue, stretched out his fair and slender hand, and gently touched her delicate cheek, “My dear wife, don’t be angry. It’s just a deed of sale. It can’t threaten you.”

“That’s right.” She nodded in agreement.

He stared at her confidently and asked, “My wife, what do you plan to do?”

“I’ll prepare a poison later and put it in Second Brother’s food. Once he eats it, I don’t believe he won’t hand over my deed of sale.”

Yuchuan said, “My wife, don’t do anything rash. Second Brother is not afraid of pain.”

“I know Second Brother is good at enduring pain. That’s why the poison I’ll make is extraordinary. Once he eats it, his whole body will convulse, suffer unbearable abdominal pain, and be in agony for seven days and nights. Even rash and fierce bandits, or cold-blooded killers, would cry out and beg for mercy after eating it, unable to live or die.”

“My wife, you’re not that cruel, are you?” Xiao Yuchuan felt his scalp tingling as he listened, and seeing her cold expression, he began to doubt that she could indeed carry out her plan.

“Cruel? Let’s try another way.” She thought for a moment, “I can create another Itching Powder, which when sprinkled on one’s body, would cause unbearable itching. At first, it only causes bloody scratches on the skin, but gradually, the entire body would be scratched apart. The itching would be so unbearable that one would want to tear their own skin and flesh away, and the more they scratch, the itchier it gets. The itching would go deep inside, reaching the heart, causing them to wish they could reach in and dig it out…”
