Chapter 967: 967 Hook
“Your second brother really has an eye for the maids too,” Tao Meijiao winked at Su Qingyue, “If I were him, I’d cling to you and only you.”
She smiled slightly, “Aren’t you fixated on my fourth brother?”
“I mean, if I were a man…”
“But you lack a Dingding…”
“Oh, Xiao Yue, now you’re making fun of me.” Tao Meijiao tried to tickle Su Qingyue but, to her surprise, the woman wasn’t ticklish at all.
Xiao Yuchuan saw how close Tao Meijiao was with Su Qingyue and felt a twinge of jealousy.
His wife was his alone, Tao Meijiao was always hanging around, and it was really getting to the point where he wanted to send her packing!
Tao Meijiao observed Xiao Yuchuan’s expression and asked coolly, “Third Master Xiao, why the sour face?”
He was quite forthright, “I don’t like you being so close to my wife.”
“Oh, someone’s jealous,” Tao Meijiao laughed behind her hand, “I’m going to get even closer to your wife!”
Yuchuan ignored her and entered his family’s new kitchen with a dark expression.
Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Yuchuan, Su Qingyue, and Tao Meijiao dined together.
The kitchen assigned to Qinghe was currently being used by Li Rong’er.
Li Rong’er stoked the stove fire to cook, and an hour later, when it had grown dark, dinner was ready, but Xiao Yishan still hadn’t returned.
She waited a while longer until Xiao Yishan’s tall and robust figure finally entered the courtyard door.
She hurried over to greet him, “Brother Xiao, you’re back!
It’s already dark, where did you go?”
Xiao Yishan replied impatiently, “What do you care so much for!”
Her smile stiffened, but she diligently prepared his bowl and chopsticks.
At night, when Xiao Yishan took off his clothes to bathe, Li Rong’er gathered them up, planning to wash them the next day.
She brought the clothes up to her nose and sniffed, and to her astonishment, she detected not just the man’s sweat, but also the scent of a woman’s rouge!
Her facial expression immediately darkened.
Going back to the room and seeing Xiao Yishan sleeping like a log, she stared at his ruined left face – as hideous as it was repulsive.
She was instantly furious.
This man, with only dozens of acre fields to his name, had the audacity to fraternize with other women, even with his disfigured face!
It was enough to drive her mad!
She was so angry she wanted to shake him awake and confront him about who he’d been seeing.
She remembered the slap on her own face.
Her face was swollen, yet he hadn’t shown a shred of concern.
His impatience confirmed that she held little importance in his heart.
She knew he had feelings for Su Qingyue and blamed her for causing him to divide the family, making him a scorned unfaithful man in the eyes of the villagers.
If it weren’t for his belief that he had taken her purity, if he ever found out that she had orchestrated it all and was no longer pure, he would surely kick her out without a second thought!
She had used every trick in the book to secure her place by Xiao Yishan’s side, and now everyone knew she, Li Rong’er, was Xiao Yishan’s woman.
Even if she sought another man, pretending to be pure was no longer an option.
She had to put down roots in the Xiao Family!
She quickly calculated in her mind; with Xiao Yishan’s current wealth, even taking two concubines wouldn’t be a strain, so there was no telling if other women might set their sights on his money…
To avoid any complications, she needed to get him to marry her immediately.

After weighing the matter, she decided that revealing his affair wouldn’t be wise.
Better to wait until they were married.
So, she quietly lay down beside him for the night.
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Yishan awoke, Li Rong’er laid her hand on his sturdy body, her voice sensually tempting as she coyly called out, “Brother Xiao…”
