No——
Rarely is Yan Jinsu’s reputation poor now, if even under such circumstances Brother Chen sticks with Yan Jinsu unwaveringly, then she’ll have even less of a chance in the future!
Having thought this through, Wang Chuni’s resolve strengthened: If not for oneself, who is heaven and earth enacted for!
What fault does she bear? She is rely pursuing the happiness she desires...
With this in mind, Wang Chuni slowly made her way to the path that Xie Jingchen must take to return ho—there lay an old forest, where she casually hid underneath a tree.
Wary of being spotted by villagers, she kept her neck stretched and scanned her surroundings.
Little did she know, from the mont she appeared under the old longan tree at the Xie Family Courtyard, a shadow followed her quietly, remaining hidden behind her.
Xie Jingchen, with his strong capabilities, as King Rong and endowed with spiritual power, detected both the man and the woman in the forest ahead and behind him.
Xie Jingchen cursed silently, Truly foolish!
He had not the slightest desire for this kind of rotten peach blossom—what’s worse, the two rotten peach blossoms before and after him were sisters from his younger sisters’ village!
These two village girls, one after the other, were indeed even more scheming than spies.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Chuni leaped out from behind her tree, just as Xie Jingchen was about to pass, she closed her eyes and called out, "Brother Chen—"
She thought she could throw herself into Xie Jingchen’s arms, unaware that he had been on guard against her and wouldn’t let her succeed.
The man hidden behind another old tree clenched his fist tightly.
Xie Jingchen took two steps back and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
His straightforward question made Wang Chuni stagger back two steps, disbelievingly staring at him, her lips quivering, "Brother Chen, don’t you recognize ? I am Xiaozi’s good sister..."
"So, are you using the na of my family’s youngest sister’s friend to bamboozle her and try to ruin her Third Brother’s marriage?"
"I..." Before Wang Chuni could say anything more, she was intimidated into retreating by Xie Jingchen’s imposing glare.
"Did you consider, when you made this move, that you would hurt my youngest sister? And cause my twins to lose their mother?"
"I can..."
Xie Jingchen’s face darkened, and he interrupted sternly, "Pshaw, like I would care?!"
Wang Chuni had always thought that Xie Jingchen was a gentlemanly and capable Brother Rong, but before she could even speak, he had already seen through her intentions!
He didn’t show any rcy, cutting off her words repeatedly, his face blackened, without a trace of being moved or swayed!
Xie Jingchen sidestepped her, delivering one final word of advice:
"In this lifeti, I, Xie Jingchen, will have only one wife, and that is Yan Jinsu. Being loyal to a wife is an innate trait of a Rong Wei. I love my loved one; if it’s not her, it will never be you."
With that, Xie Jingchen walked past her, ignoring her stupor, and vanished from sight instantly.
"Not her... nor will it be ?!" Wang Chuni stumbled, nearly falling but steadied herself with great effort, preventing a fall.
"The Brother Chen I have admired for five years... didn’t even spare a single glance!" Wang Chuni murmured to herself.
He doesn’t even know who he is!
Looking up at the sky, he sees the bright, clear blue sky after the rain has passed.
However, in stark contrast to the sky, Wang Chuni’s face is stained with tears. Staggering a couple of steps, she turns around, only to find the road to the Xie Family devoid of any figures!
"My heart hurts so much... Why can’t it be , Brother Chen?!" Is it really a missed lifeti?
Wang Chuni knows she has always been deluding herself!
Without saying anything, just the fact that Yan Jinsu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, ans she’ll never have the chance to be with Xie Jingchen in this lifeti...
"I just wanted to try... I’m not willing to give up!" Five years. She even liked Xie Jingchen earlier than Wang Xiuzhen did, yet everyone in the village thought that the tall and beautiful Wang Xiuzhen was better suited for Xie Jingchen, pairing them together—thus, she never dared to say it out loud.
Even if Wang Xiuzhen didn’t really like Brother Chen at the beginning.
She hesitated, for the sake of trivial pride among young girls; therefore, she was never going to receive a shred of Xie Jingchen’s affection in this lifeti!
Whenever Wang Chuni thinks of how she waited outside the Xie Family Courtyard, just to catch a glimpse of Xie Jingchen upon hearing he had safely returned, only to be treated like this, she feels utterly sorrowful and bleak.
Why must they be so cruel to her, not leaving her the slightest dignity?
Wang Chuni doesn’t even rember how she got ho. As soon as she arrived, she collapsed weakly onto her bed, Xie Jingchen’s harsh reprimanding words echoing in her mind.
Xie Jingchen doesn’t care whether his words hurt the other person’s pride or not; her attitude is entirely self-inflicted.
If Xie Jingchen had spoken to her a tad bit softer, that would truly be detrintal to her!
Cutting the Gordian knot is truly the best way to handle her.
Besides, behind that village girl, there’s a man standing watch. The boy is a mber of the Xie Family; Xie Jingchen doesn’t believe he would do anything wrong.
When Xie Jingchen returned ho, his elder brother and sister-in-law were back as well, helping their mother and second sister with cooking.
As more and more Rong Wei return, Yan Jinsu instructed Xie Jingzi to prepare more at dishes, so that anyone who cos by can have a full belly to work with strength.
Yan Jinsu actually intended to cook herself at first, but with the bruising on her face, no one in the Xie Family dared to approach her; they just let her sit comfortably by the stove, accompanying Xiaojiu, Xiao Shi, and a few other kids.
Yan Jinsu is quite good at taking care of children.
Temperant is innate, and Yan Jinsu has always been patient with children. Xie Family’s children have all been influenced by Yan Jinsu’s upbringing—whether it’s their clean behavior or their polite speech, it all softens Yan Jinsu’s heart greatly.
She’s running a slight fever, so Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi just sit on her left and right, while she only has a cup of warm water in her hands. The children form a circle around her, so that everyone can see Yan Jinsu’s expressions and listen to her slowly and cutely narrated story of ’The Big Bad Wolf and the Little Lamb.’
Yan Jinsu thinks that all of these are stories with intelligible purpose, ones that she had told before, making her interactions with the children especially fun...
Sotis Xie Jinghong hears lively laughter from outside, triggering her curiosity, and then she no longer focuses on picking vegetables.
It is Zhou Xiuhua who cannot stand it any longer, pointing out how the eldest daughter-in-law should be cooking and shooing her own daughter to the side to act like a ’grown-up child.’
Although they are entertaining little stories, they provide positive guidance on human nature and upbringing. Zhou Xiuhua realizes that her own daughter’s knowledge is not as good as the little girl Ni’s. Listening more might benefit her own future grandchildren.
So, Zhou Xiuhua may seem angry, but in reality, her actions also subtly indicate her support!
As for the eldest daughter-in-law not needing to listen?
Hehe [mysterious smile].
