Su Qingyueâs mouth twitched as she listened. When did she ever have such a conversation with the third brother? Why couldnât she remember it?
The third brother, however, had a knack for shifting the blame onto her.
Could the third brother not see that Liu Yuhong was interested in him?
After listening, Liu Yuhongâs eyes flashed with envy. âChuan really listens to your wife. You are so good to her. Not like meâ¦â Her face filled with sorrow and melancholy. She hoped he would ask âwhatâs wrong?â so that she could pour out her grievances.
Unexpectedly, he didnât ask anything.
She had no choice but to continue, âNot like me, who is so unfortunate. In the prime of my youth, I was sold to an old manâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuan had no interest in listening to her continue, âSince Aunt Liang is alright, Iâm leaving.â
He strode towards the exit of the courtyard.
Liu Yuhong suddenly fell to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain and groaning, âAhh⦠it hurts so much⦠Chuan, save me⦠â
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her pale face, which didnât seem fake, âI donât know medical skills, but my wife does. Iâll go home and bring her here to treat youâ¦â
âThe ground is so cold. Help me back to my room firstâ¦â She said with a pained voice.
âItâs not cold outside. Youâll be fine lying on the ground for a while.â
âBut itâs so uncomfortable lying on the ground⦠â
Xiao Yuchuan turned back, and she initially thought he would finally help her up. However, he went into the Liang Familyâs kitchen, fetched a ladle of cold water, and headed for the room where Liang Lizheng was sleeping.
She looked at him, puzzled. âChuan, what are you doing?â
Xiao Yuchuan said expressionlessly, âIâll pour this cold water on Liang Lizheng to wake him up. Let him take care of you.â
Su Qingyue couldnât help but smile at the third brotherâs words. He was really something.
âNo, donât! He will get angry when he wakes upâ¦â Liu Yuhong said anxiously.
âNo, he wonât.â Xiao Yuchuan shook his head. âYou donât feel well, so Iâll wake up Liang Lizheng to take care of you. Everyone in the village knows how much he cherishes you. Not only will he not be angry, but he will also thank me.â
Liu Yuhong was choked with anger. She couldnât tell if Xiao Yuchuan was genuinely clueless or just pretending. âIâm fine now. Donât wake him up.â@@novelbin@@
As she said that, she got up from the ground and straightened her dust-covered skirt.
Xiao Yuchuan frowned slightly, âYouâre fine so soon?â
She looked at him pitifully, âXiao third brother, are you truly clueless or just pretending? Donât people in the village say youâre very smart?â
âWhat are you referring to?â His voice remained steady.
She removed her hairpin, letting her long, luxurious hair cascade down to her waist. Her shapely figure swayed gently in the night wind as her pale face took on a hint of melancholy.
Su Qingyue watched her black hair and red dressâ¦
That figure and silhouetteâ¦
The female ghost on Hanging Neck Mountain!
Earlier at the banquet, her hair was pulled up, making her look well-behaved and demure. Su Qingyue didnât think of her as the female ghost.
Nowâ¦
Su Qingyue was sure that the red-dressed female ghost she saw on Hanging Neck Mountain a few months ago was Liu Yuhong!
Even if people had really died on Hanging Neck Mountain, the rumors about ghosts were fake. It was probably a ruse cooked up by Liu Yuhong and her secret lover to have clandestine meetings.
That lover was⦠Li Gui.
But Li Gui also said that he had nothing to do with Liu Yuhongâ¦
Who was Liu Yuhongâs lover then?
Liu Yuhongâs voice lingered, âXiao Third Brother, during this time, the Xiao Family has been building a house. Iâve passed by your new house many times. Do you really think I was just passing by?â
