Hearing what Yu Lu said, Miao Se looked displeased, but she listened to her friend and stopped drinking.

Miao Se seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Yu Lu asked curiously, "Brother Nan Chu, do you really come back to the manor for lunch every day, and with a woman? Is that woman your sister-in-law bestowed by the Great Khan?"

Miao Se rolled her eyes. "If it wasn't her, do you think I have other women in my household?"

Yu Lu: "..."

Hehe, aren't there still those maids?

But it makes sense. There have always been so many maids in the Yehenara Mansion. If Brother Nan Chu had taken a liking to one, there would have been several concubines in the mansion long ago. There would be no need for this parachuted "Borjigit Consort".

Yu Lu stroked his chin and asked curiously, "So it seems your elder brother is quite satisfied with that Borjigit wife? Have you seen Miao Se? What does that sister-in-law look like?"

"Never seen it before, don't know."

"Your sister-in-law has been here for so long, and you still haven't seen her?"

Yu Lu was shocked.

Miao Se's face darkened. "Borjigit is my elder brother's wife. How can I, a male relative, see her?"

Yu Lu: "That's too exaggerated. Doesn't your sister-in-law ever come out for a walk? Haven't you seen her?"

Miao Se glared at him and then fell silent.

Yu Lu: Hmm, it seems we didn't run into him.

Having expressed his curiosity, Yulu then began to explain his purpose for coming. (He advised Miaose to think more positively.)

"Alright, your older brother is married now and has his own wife. He knows how to cherish her. You're not a child anymore, so don't be jealous of your sister-in-law."

"Heh, who's jealous?"

Miao Se retorted stubbornly.

Yu Lu nodded, "Okay, okay, I'm jealous, I'm jealous. How could Young Master Miao Se be jealous?"

"However, when it comes to matters between men and women, men can change after marrying a wife. Miaose, you are still young and don't understand."

As he spoke, Yu Lu beckoned with his finger in a somewhat lewd manner.

Miao Se Tie said with a hard face, "Hmph, you filthy people. I've married a princess, and that won't change. You people are just lusting after beauty."

...

Miao Se, who went out for drinks with her friends in the afternoon, still drank several mouthfuls of alcohol before leaving, and her body reeked of drunkenness.

Yu Lu had advised him to take a bath and change his clothes at his residence before leaving, but Miao Se refused.

Anyway, his brother was probably not at home at this time, so he wouldn't run into him even if he went back directly. Miao Se, who said he wouldn't run into his elder brother, bumped into Nan Chu as soon as he walked in through the gate in the afternoon.

Nan Chu's dark eyes stared at his younger brother, who walked in through the main gate, looking drunk and disheveled.

Miao Se: "..."

Miao Se froze; Yu Lu, that damned jinx.

"Big...Big Brother?"

Nan Chu remained silent, his sharp gaze fixed on Miao Se, creating an atmosphere of unbearable oppression.

After a while, Nan Chu said coldly, "Miao Se, I raised you in place of your father and mother. Although I don't expect you to be outstanding, don't become a spoiled brat."

Hearing her elder brother's cold words, Miao Se swallowed back the words she wanted to say to explain.

Miao Se lowered his head, and the atmosphere between the two brothers looked incredibly cold.

Seeing this, Qingyin, who was standing behind Nan Chu and blocked from view, could no longer remain a decorative figure in the background.

She spoke softly, "Husband, there may be a reason why my brother is like this now, so why are you so serious?"

Not wanting to use that unfamiliar form of address in front of her man's younger brother, Qingyin switched to a more intimate one.

Suddenly, a pleasant, familiar female voice rang out.

Miao Se guessed the person's identity; it was her elder brother's wife.

She was there too.

Miao Se lowered her head and thought somewhat confusedly. Her mind, clouded by alcohol, was not yet clear, and she was only thinking based on her intuition.

Ha, so what if that woman speaks up for him? Big Brother definitely won't care.

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him about it."

Nan Chu's gentle voice fell, causing Miao Se, who had been looking down and making a conclusion, to raise her head in shock.

"Big brother, you actually..." spoke so gently.

The woman accompanying his elder brother was not the plain-looking, conventional woman he had imagined. Instead, she was a petite woman with a beautiful figure and a face like a peach blossom. Her skin was incredibly white, and her eyes were so beautiful, with a bright red mole at the corner of her eye. When she happened to meet his gaze, she seemed a little shy and lowered her head to avoid his eyes.

His sister-in-law is very beautiful.

Before her older brother could even notice, Miao Se had already quickly lowered her head.

His face was deathly pale.

Nan Chu seemed to think that he had misunderstood his younger brother's outings, which was why his brother looked so sad and upset. He felt a pang of guilt and said in a slightly better tone, "Yes, go back. Your sister-in-law will speak up for you."

"good."

Unaware of what he had said, Miao Se nodded in a daze, but only he knew how violently his heart was beating in his chest at that moment.

He fell in love with his sister-in-law at first sight.

Upon realizing this fact, Miao Se's face paled even more.

As he left, his back looked even more disheveled.

Nan Chu frowned as she watched his retreating figure.

This kid is such a worry, never mind.

"Wang Si, send the witch doctor to the Second Young Master's courtyard."

"Yes, young master."

...

Miao Se left, leaving only Nan Chu and Qing Yin behind.

Qingyin didn't need to say anything to feel the burning gaze Nan Chu had given her ever since she called him "husband."

A thin layer of blush appeared on her fair face.

"What are you looking at?"

Nan Chu smiled and looked at Qingyin with unusual affection in his phoenix eyes: "Just now, my wife called me husband, and I was very happy."

Qingyin gave him a slightly annoyed look and explained, "That was only because my second brother was there."

"That makes me happy too, it means that my wife cares about me."

How can caring about my pride not mean not caring about me?

The logic master (now Nan Chu) thought so.

Hearing this, Qingyin quickened her pace in embarrassment and anger, heading towards her own courtyard.

"Lord Nan Chu, why don't you take a walk here? I've finished digesting my food, so I won't keep you company."

Looking at the angry and embarrassed back of the princess, Nan Chu found her adorable no matter how he looked at her.

His smile stretched almost to his ears.

The servant who caught a glimpse of his eldest son's smile from the corner of his eye couldn't help but shiver.

It's surprising that their eldest son can have such a happy smile.

However, it's normal for a princess to have such a beautiful wife.

Ever since Miao Se bumped into Qing Yin that day, Qing Yin and Nan Chu's relationship has warmed up considerably.

At least Qingyin no longer addresses Nan Chu so formally as "Master".
