Chapter 47: Is it Relief?

Chen Qi was afraid that the children would be separated again, so she asked Xie Yuduo to carry Yu Suo on his back while she held Yu Jing.

Xie Yuduo didn't say anything. He just reached out his big hand and picked up the little guy, letting him sit steadily on his broad shoulders. Then he stretched out his long legs and walked in front to lead the way.

The little guy was so excited that his face turned red and he was dancing with joy.

Xie Yuduo has an outstanding figure. His tall and straight figure is particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Coupled with the chattering little brother on his shoulder, he becomes even more noticeable and attracts the attention of passers-by.

Chen Qi looked at Xie Yuduo's back, smiled and told him to be careful, held Yu Jing's hand tightly, and told Xiao Wu and Xiao Ling to follow closely.

The group passed by a colorful bridge. There were many tourists on the bridge and lanterns floating under the bridge, which was very lively.

Just as I got off the bridge, I suddenly heard a clear and soft voice.

"Oh, second brother, what a coincidence!"

Xiaowu and Xiaoling were still squeezed on the bridge and couldn't get off. Chen Qi, who had just crossed the bridge, stopped and looked at the person who was speaking.

It was an old acquaintance, the third daughter of Aunt Zhao.

She was wearing embroidered new clothes today, with several pearl hairpins on her head. She had a very graceful figure and was holding a lotus lantern in her hand, which made her look particularly pretty and lovely.

At this moment, she was standing in front of Xie Yuduo with a look of surprise on her face.

Xiao Wu was busy protecting the miscellaneous gadgets in his arms in the crowd, but Xiao Ling was sharp-eyed and saw Third Sister Zhao who was blocking Xie Yuduo at a glance.

"What bad luck! I run into her again!"

There were many people around, and Xiaowu didn't hear clearly, so he asked loudly.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Ling pointed towards the bridge.

"That person. I saw her at Zhou's house last time. She was very annoying."

Xiaowu took a closer look and didn't recognize the girl, but he thought she was very flashy.

"This sister is pretty!"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling was furious. She turned her head away and stopped talking to him. Taking advantage of the crowd around, she stepped on him hard, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Second brother! What a coincidence! There are so many people on the street, and I just happened to run into you."

The third girl only had Xie Yuduo in her eyes and completely ignored Chen Qi who was standing beside her. Even Yu Jing luckily escaped the disaster.

Chen Qi watched as the childhood sweetheart came out again and started to act coquettishly towards her childhood sweetheart. Thinking of what happened before, she simply stopped, took the jade mirror and hid in the crowd, secretly observing Xie Yuduo's reaction.

Xie Yuduo was seen carrying his younger brother on his shoulders, looking up and down at the young girl in front of him, his brows furrowed and his face very serious.

"Who are you!"

Even though there was a lot of noise around, these three powerful words could be heard clearly, even Xiao Ling and the other girl who had just squeezed in heard them.

Chen Qi almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

She knew very well in her heart that Xie Yuduo did this on purpose. Others might not be able to see it, but she could tell from his expression and tone.

Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing, so she turned her head and buried her face in Xiao Wu's back, preventing herself from laughing out loud. Xiao Wu didn't know what was going on, so he just stood there and grinned foolishly.

Miss Zhao San was stunned by this question. She looked very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Chen Qi hurried forward with a reproachful tone.

"Erlang, this is Aunt Zhao's third cousin! She lives across from my uncle's house. You two used to play together when you were little. How could you have forgotten?"

Xie Yuduo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked him up and down, and suddenly spoke in a long voice, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"oh--"

Then he asked, "Are you married?"

Hearing her childhood sweetheart asking such a direct question in front of his wife, the childhood sweetheart suddenly became shy, with a faint blush on her face. She didn't know what was going on in her mind, but she slowly lowered her head and looked at her toes.

"No."

"oh--"

Xie Yuduo stretched out his voice again, and pulled Chen Qi close to him, almost holding her in his arms.

"Then you can't compare to me. Look carefully, I'm already married."

Miss Zhao San was stunned when she heard this, and raised her head in disbelief.

Where does anyone chat like this?

Then, Xie Yuduo took Chen Qi's pink and white hand and stretched it in front of her.

Both hands were clenched tightly.

"Look, this is your sister-in-law, how beautiful she is!"

The girl's rosy face instantly lost its redness, and even the blood color was almost invisible.

Xie Yuduo was carrying a handsome little boy on his shoulders, and Chen Qi had a half-grown jade mirror next to her. The two of them were holding hands, looking like a family of four.

On the other side, I was all alone.

"Good... beautiful, sister-in-law, it is beautiful." Miss Zhao San came back to her senses and responded quickly.

Xie Yuduo nodded with satisfaction, pulled Chen Qi and walked forward. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned back to speak to Miss Zhao San.

"Cousin, there are so many people on the street, you should go home early!"

When Zhao Sanjie heard this, her eyes lit up again, and she heard the person opposite continue to speak.

"If someone steps on your foot and breaks it, you won't be able to get married."

After saying that, he pulled Chen Qi, who was trying hard to hold back her laughter, away.

Third Sister Zhao stood there, watching their departing backs, feeling a dull pain in her heart.

Since she was a child, she had had a good impression of the second cousin of the Xie family. Last year, when she heard that he was going to get engaged, she was very interested. With her mother's strong encouragement, she really dreamed of becoming the second wife of the Xie family for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuduo not only refused outright, but also turned around and married a girl from Baihe Town.

When she learned that he was getting married, Miss Zhao San cried for half the night on her embroidery bed.

Aunt Zhao tried to persuade him several times, but he didn't stop.

There is a reason for this.

Aunt Zhao was originally the cousin of Second Aunt Xie. Ever since Feng married into the west courtyard of the Xie family, she has been very good at showing off the wealth of her husband's family.

Even if the family falls on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Unfortunately, the Zhao family only had two brothers, and in the next generation, Xie Yuming married young. Aunt Zhao was very regretful, until she set her sights on Xie Yuduo, who had never married.

This kind of thought never stopped even after Xie Yuduo got married.

That day, seeing her daughter crying bitterly, she hardened her heart and said to her daughter that the Xie family was, after all, a wealthy family in Pingshan County, and their business was getting more and more prosperous.

If a daughter cannot become a wife, marrying such a man as a concubine is also a good way out.

After hearing this, Zhao Sanjie thought for a long time before she stopped crying.

But... I'm afraid I'll cry again tonight.

…

After everyone left, Chen Qi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Normally, I have only seen Xie Yuduo smiling and coaxing himself with sweet words, but I have never seen him so sarcastic and mean.

After laughing, she quietly pinched his arm and whispered to him that his words were too harsh.

Xie Yuduo disagrees.

"If there weren't children here, my words would be even more harsh."

Then he lowered his head and asked her quietly, "Are you relieved?"

Chen Qi had already felt relieved, and seeing him so proud, she smiled and nodded.

“It’s very satisfying.”

"That's good."

He was extremely happy.
