She went to the kitchen and scooped some well water drawn this morning into the water pot with a wooden ladle.
Xiao Yishan and Yuchuan saw this and exchanged glances.
Their wife was actually helping Fourth Brother with his water, but wasn’t she the one who disliked him the most?
The two of them only felt that their wife had changed a lot, making them like her more and more.
Su Qingyue returned to the secondary bedroom and placed the water pot on the table beside the bed. As she was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Qinghe called out to her, “Qingyue… ”
She turned back, “Hm?”
“The night before last, you asked not to be disturbed because it was a crucial time for needle therapy for deafness, right?”
Xiao Qinghe was silent for a moment. Thinking about how Third Brother had climbed through the window even after she had told everyone not to disturb her, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.
If only he had tried harder to stop Third Brother at that time…
Looking down at his leg. he realized that even if he had told Third Brother. he
wouldn’t have been able to stop him.
“I didn’t know the seriousness of the situation and didn’t explain it better to
Third Brother, so he entered the room and disturbed you. I just said it simply…”
“It’s fine.” She smiled faintly, remembering what had happened, “It’s all in the past, isn’t it? And I’m all right.”
“But…” He clearly remembered her yelling at Third Brother that night, accusing him of attempted murder.
“It’s really okay. You can see that I’m fine now.” She walked to the bedside and patted his shoulder like a good friend, “Qinghe, don’t dwell on the past. Look forward.”
It was better to treat him as a friend than as a young uncle.
Seeing her gesture, though she was being friendly, he couldn’t feel happy about it as it wasn’t how a wife should act towards her husband. She withdrew her hand, “Um… there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Feel free to say it.”
She looked at his pale and handsome face, “Are you really illiterate?”
“Yes.” The Xiao Family was so poor that they couldn’t afford education. Seeing her expression, he wondered if she preferred scholars? Thinking of Li Gui who had studied for a few years, he couldn’t help but feel down.
Su Qingyue felt embarrassed and said, “Oh, I was just asking casually. I think you have a refined demeanor, more gentlemanly and handsome than scholars, without the pretentiousness that comes with being educated. You’re a fine young man.”
A look of surprise flashed through his clear eyes, and his handsome face, against his will, turned red. Was his wife complimenting him?
Seeing his blushing cheek, so tender and good-looking, Su Qingyue wanted to pinch it a few times, but only thought about it in her heart. After all, she was Third Brother’s wife and couldn’t reach out her poison hand to her brother-in-law, “There’s something I want to explain…”
He sat quietly, wearing a calm and gentle expression.
Given his serious demeanor, she didn’t know how to begin, but in order to avoid him thinking she was a pervert, she gritted her teeth and said, “About the time I accidentally pinched your butt… it was an accident.”
Seeing her awkward behavior, he felt like laughing, “Oh, that incident? I’ve forgotten about it.” In fact, he remembered it all too clearly, but he didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable.
“You’ve forgotten?” For her to even bring it up was humiliating. Her face instantly turned red, thinking he remembered the incident, so she wanted to clarify just in case he got the wrong idea, “It’s good that you’ve forgotten. Don’t remember it, okay?”
She left the secondary bedroom as if her butt was on fire.
Xiao Qinghe’s pleasant expression turned sad. He knew all too well that his wife was trying to clarify their relationship..
