Listen to me, lie still on the bed. I promise I'll make you comfortable.

"Come with me." Yu Xi grabbed the girl's clothes and dragged her outside.

It was still drizzling outside, and there were seven or eight basins of dirty clothes waiting to be washed.

"I asked someone to find you this job. If you do it well, we'll have enough for the rent. You only have an hour, hurry up and finish cooking." Yu Xi said and then disappeared.

There are so many! How can she possibly drag them all to the riverbank by herself? Yu Yue called out into the house, "Mother! Mother!"

No one agreed.

Yu Yue ran into the house; her mother was lying in bed sleeping. She slept well during the day, but at night she would find ways to torment her, making her life miserable.

"I'm not going out, my head hurts, my legs hurt." Mother Yu said loudly, her head covered by the blanket.

"Is your butt hurting? So what if you said it in the lobby, that you slept with an old man? What's so shameful about that? It's not like I didn't suffer the same pain. I still had to do all sorts of chores!" Yu Yue threw off the blanket, grabbed her mother's clothes, and dragged her off the bed.

The mother and daughter were working and arguing. Together they carried several large basins of clothes to the river to wash them.

People were chatting idly under a big tree by the river.

Someone passing by came over to wash their hands: "Miss Yu, washing your clothes yourself? How diligent!"

Yu Yue threw down the stick she had been using to hit clothes and rolled her eyes, "Yu Xiaohong? Looking for a beating?"

People washing vegetables and clothes by the river, all look over here.

"Oh my! You're really hot-tempered. But you must be exhausted. We share the same grandfather, how come you're doing so poorly? Why don't you beg me? My sister-in-law and I are really close. I came here in her car!" Yu Xiaohong stood up and deliberately patted her new clothes.

Yu Yue's eyes were blazing with anger, and her face was extremely ugly: "What kind of lousy sister-in-law is she? Even a dog wouldn't want her."

"You're the dog," Yu Xiaohong said, sticking out her tongue and shaking her head angrily at Yu Yue.

Yu's mother covered her head, groaning and pretending to be in pain.

"Second Aunt, do you have a headache? Oh, wait, you've remarried and aren't a member of the Yu family anymore." Yu Xiaohong shook her head. "I heard that the master said he'd give one hundred taels of silver to whoever gives him a child. Hey, did he give it to you? If he did, you'll have to pay my father back."

The person washing vegetables next to me has already washed them four times, but they still won't leave, listening intently.

"I'll tear your mouth off!" Yu Yue rushed forward and started fighting with Yu Xiaohong.

Yu Xiaohong's hands were covered in calluses from working, and her arms were very strong. She grabbed Yu Yue's hair with her backhand and twisted her ear.

"Mother!" Yu Yue cried out for help after losing the battle.

Yu's mother came over lightly on her feet and kicked Yu Xiaohong's new clothes a few times, leaving several muddy footprints.

Yu Xiaohong didn't even flinch when Yu Yue slapped her a few times. But the moment she saw her new clothes were dirty, she yelled, "This was a gift from my sister-in-law! I'll fight you two to the death!"

A three-way brawl ensued.

Six arms flailing wildly, three mouths hurling insults at each other.

Yu Yue grew angrier the more she looked at the new clothes. The embroidered patterns and subtle designs on the cuffs were all exquisitely beautiful. "Sister-in-law?" she said affectionately. She acted like it was the real deal.

Take it off! Wear it yourself! As soon as this thought popped into Yu Yue's head, she immediately got to work.

"You stole my clothes! You're bad! Sister-in-law! Boss! Help! Sister Xiaocao! Seventh Brother! Help!" Yu Xiaohong's hands flew up and down, protecting the new clothes, and she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"What are you shouting for?" Lu Xiaocao had come to find Yu Xiaohong, and as soon as he got to the riverbank, he saw three women fighting.

"Let her go!" Lü Xiaocao was very protective of her friend. She ran over to help Yu Xiaohong. She also asked the onlookers to call for Ye Dongjia.

Upon hearing that it was Ye Dongjia, the person who offered help immediately went to help.

Soon, Li Qi and Pumpkin arrived.

“Little Hong, you’re really something. The landlord heard that the wheat seedlings here are good and the wheat grows big, so he came looking for some good wheat seeds. And you, you actually gave her a big one.” Li Qi nodded up: “The village chief and the clan chief are here.”

Lu Xiaocao slapped Li Qi: "You always blame your own family. Didn't you see the girl's clothes were all ruined?"

"Let's go, let's go. The boss is waiting," Pumpkin urged.

"Wait, where's Ye Qingzhou? Why isn't she here to see me?" Yu Yue grabbed Pumpkin's sleeve.

Pumpkin rolled up his sleeves without turning around: "She, is she someone you can see whenever you want?"

"Exactly! Who said that even a dog wouldn't want her? Humph!" Yu Xiaohong retorted, making a face at Yu Yue.

"Come on, you're all dressed up and still acting tough." Lü Xiaocao pulled Yu Xiaohong along and walked away quickly.

The figures of the group quickly disappeared along the riverbank.

Yu Yue instinctively wanted to chase after them.

Yu's mother grabbed her and shoved the stick into her hand: "Get to work, your brother's back, he'll scold you again."

"Why did my brother scold me? Isn't it all because of you, Mom? You pretended to be sick, didn't do any work, and pushed all the bad things onto me. When my brother hit me, you didn't protect me; you even handed him the stick." Yu Yue threw down the stick: "I quit!"

She was exhausted! She had to leave! Yu Yue went to chase after Yu Xiaohong; she needed to find Ye Qingzhou. Ye Qingzhou had been so good to Yu Xiaohong; he must be even better to her.

Unfortunately, she was too late. By the time she reached the road, she had only seen the carriage drive away.

The rain stopped, and the people left.

It's okay, she has legs, she can walk over.

Half an hour later, Yu Yue knocked on the door of the Ye residence.

The doorman saw it was her and closed the door.

It's okay, she can wait.

Yu Yue found a corner, hugged herself, and squatted down to wait.

The sound of horses' hooves clattering filled the air as two men appeared at the door.

"The son-in-law is back!" The doorman opened the door with a cheerful smile and led the horse inside.

“Jiang…” Yu Yue was about to speak.

"Jiang Jinghong, you bastard! You stole my brother's woman!" Yu Xi, who had been hiding to the side, suddenly rushed out.

Jiang Yuan, who was standing next to Jiang Jinghong, stopped Yu Xi. After Jiang Jinghong entered the room, Jiang Yuan pushed Yu Xi away and went inside as well.

Just as the two large doors were about to close, Jiang Jinghong's voice rang out: "Yu Xi, why do you only criticize others without looking at your own behavior?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine." Yu Xi went to meet her, only to find the door cold and unyielding. Frustrated and deflated, he turned and saw Yu Yue, kicking her in anger: "I'll teach you to run! I'll teach you to run!"

"Brother, stop hitting me. I'm not running anymore." Yu Yue said as she ran and dodged.

But Yu Xi had nowhere to vent her anger, so she hit harder and harder. Yu Yue was in a lot of pain, and when she thought of Yu Xiaohong's new clothes, resentment welled up in her heart: "You're so fierce, no wonder your wife ran away. It's all because of you beating her away."

"What did you say? You blame me? When you were enjoying the good life with me, why didn't you say anything?" Yu Xi kicked Yu Yue hard again.

"That was given to me by my sister-in-law, not by you. All you remember is drinking and finding women." Yu Yue shouted as she ran, clutching her head.

Yu Xi chased after him and started cursing.

Inside the gate, Li Qi pressed his ear against the door to make sure he couldn't hear anything else before returning to his study to repeat it to Jiang Jinghong.

After Li Qi finished speaking, he was thinking about other things when he turned his head and saw that the door to the side room was tightly closed. There was a faint fragrance in the room.

No wonder Jiang Jinghong was so distracted. Li Qi chuckled to himself: Of course, Jiang Jinghong had just returned, and the two of them were already cuddling together.

Li Qi left, closed the door behind him, and casually told the others that Young Master Jiang had important business to attend to.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Jinghong jumped up and went straight to the inner room.

There is a beautiful woman inside, and she is about to fall asleep.

"Tired?" Jiang Jinghong casually pulled up an octagonal stool and sat down next to the couch.

"Hmm. I want to sleep for a while." Ye Qingzhou covered her eyes with her hand. "It's still light out."

“Now, it’s dark.” After Jiang Jinghong finished speaking, she didn’t draw the curtains, but instead reached out and picked up a strand of Ye Qingzhou’s hair.

She then covered Ye Qingzhou's eyes with that strand of black hair.

"You..." Ye Qingzhou chuckled and obediently closed her eyes.

"Don't move." Jiang Jinghong moved closer and tidied a strand of hair.

A beautiful woman lies alone, her face fair and her black hair covering her eyes.

She couldn't see me, but I could see her. This submissive attitude always made me want to do something. Jiang Jinghong leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Her red lips were alluring.

A deep kiss.

"Hmm..." Ye Qingzhou shifted her body.

A tall figure loomed over her. One hand covered her eyes. The other hand pulled her hands upwards and pressed them down. His head alone pressed against her upper body, remaining motionless: "Listen to your brother, lie still and don't move. I promise I'll make you comfortable."
