Chapter 1729: Felt Uncomfortable With Chen Ermei’s Existence

After their bout of teasing, Li Gouzi’s matter was glossed over. Fang Yong didn’t investigate why Li Gouzi came to his house.

After all, Li Gouzi was a well-known thief. It made no difference which house he was found at, breaking into other people’s homes was a common occurrence for him.

Bai Yiqiao sighed in relief and asked with a jealous tone, “Do you like people like Chen Ermei?”

Chen Ermei was like a thorn in Bai Yiqiao’s heart. Bai Yiqiao could never

forget the scene she saw in her past life of Chen Ermei wearing a brocade dress, tossing money into her bowl.

If Bai Yiqiao’s father had not died, she would not have resorted to begging. In her previous life, relying on the fact that she was a scholar’s daughter, she would always act arrogantly. She also didn’t have a good relationship with her relatives, which was why no one helped her out when she fell in dire straits.

In this life, Bai Yiqiao had changed a lot, but she always felt uncomfortable with Chen Ermei’s existence.

So Bai Yiqiao was a little sensitive when it came to Chen Ermei. Especially when she heard Chen Ermei’s name from Fang Yong’s mouth.

But Bai Yiqiao wouldn’t cause a scene. She knew that men grew tired of crazy and unreasonable women. So she questioned Fang Yong in a delicate, coquettish manner.

Bai Yiqiao looked very delicate and beautiful. Her fair skin did not resemble the skin of peasant women. Even her demeanor had a faint sense of coquettishness. All of this made Fang Yong’s fond feelings for her increase.

“I already have Yiqiao as my wife, I don’t care about other women,” Fang Yong said.

Fang Yong did treat Bai Yiqiao really well. He tried his best to work hard both inside and outside the house to reduce Bai Yiqiao’s burdens. He couldn’t bear to make such a charming wife tired.

But Bai Yiqiao still helped. Bai Yiqiao intended for them to be a loving husband and wife for the rest of their lives. Naturally, they must help each other out and she would also support Fang Yong’s future glory.

Bai Yiqiao also curried favor with Fang Yong’s mother whose eyesight was bad, so that Fang Yong’s mother would be pleased with her. Even if she was wronged or if Fang Yong’s mother badmouthed her, Bai Yiqiao would still endure it. Afterward, when Fang Yong learned of what happened, he treated her with even more affection.

Bai Yiqiao was a very smart woman. She used the experience of the complex backyard struggles from her previous life, to benefit herself in this life.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ning Shu had to do a lot of tedious chores at home, which included cooking with Lady Li. Father Chen and Chen Li would never enter the kitchen, as cooking was only done by women.

Ning Shu was mulling over how to deal with Li Gouzi. Li Gouzi was actually starting to wander around the Chen family’s house now. Whenever he saw Ning Shu, he would immediately take the opportunity to shamelessly spout some misleading words.

“Why did you leave me behind at Fang Yong’s house? We even agreed on it…”

“You left and let Fang Yong beat me.”

Li Gouzi said to Ning Shu in a spoiled manner, “I’m in so much pain.”

Ning Shu tilted her head and looked at Li Gouzi indifferently. Li Gouzi was unbearable to look at and he even had vegetable leaves stuck in his teeth.

He really looked like a toad.

Even without taking his looks into account, Li Gouzi’s incomparably disgraceful temperament made Chen Ermei want to commit suicide.

Although Chen Ermei couldn’t be described as an extremely beautiful and stunning woman, she had good facial features and a pleasant figure that was pleasing to the eye.

Noticing that Ning Shu was indifferent to what he said, Li Gouzi couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. Li Gouzi felt that he was not getting any younger and that he should get married soon.

Chen Ermei wasn’t a bad choice. Li Gouzi knew that the Chen family despised him, so he shouted at Ning Shu from behind the fence, “Ermei, did you forget that we were in the same room?”

“We agreed to meet.”

Ning Shu’s expression hardened. Li Gouzi was really trying nonstop to smear her name and ruin her reputation.

In the yard, Lady Li’s face turned red with anger when she heard Li Gouzi’s bullsh*t.
