Could it be that... Xiao Nanfang really cares about Xiao Jinchu? On the way back, Yan Shuhua thought of Xiao Jinchu's unfriendly attitude when he mentioned Xiao Nanfang, and his jealousy towards his father. She was also confused, wondering whether Xiao Nanfang cared more about his eldest son or the second son.
Bai Zhishu, who came to look for Yan Shuhua in the middle of the night but couldn't find her, saw her coming in from outside and wrapped his coat tightly around himself, "Shuhua, where have you been?"
Yan Shuhua thought of Xiao Nanfang's expression and felt that it would be a bit strange to tell Bai Zhishu what happened tonight, so he concealed it: "Mom, I'm just a little bored, so I'm going out for a walk."
"It's not safe to go out at this late hour." Bai Zhishu asked her to go back and rest quickly. Fearing that she would be cold, he even asked someone to add an extra quilt for her.
Kyoto is still bustling even late at night, because there are so many self-employed people here. Some people do business at night, while others come to drink, eat meat, and play finger-guessing games. All kinds of noises can be heard one after another.
Yan Shuhua slept well in this environment which she did not find unpleasant. The next day she was woken up by the noise. She had gone to bed so late the previous night and was very sleepy. She wanted to continue sleeping, but she heard someone outside calling her.
It’s Yan Qingxue.
Yan Shuhua got dressed without thinking. It was particularly cold in Kyoto. The whole building was covered with a layer of white mist in the morning. As soon as he opened the door, he was shivering with cold.
At the gate stood Yan Qingxue. She had been scolding Yan Shuhua for who knows how long in the morning. Finally, he scolded her and rushed over like an arrow from a bow. "Yan Shuhua, you are shameless. You actually hooked up with Yan Min. Tell me, where did you go last night? Didn't you go to seduce him?"
Being disturbed by this silly woman so early in the morning, Yan Shuhua was in a headache: "You came to make trouble early in the morning, just because of this matter?"
Yan Qingxue almost had a knife in her hand: "I saw the expression on your face when you looked at Yan Min yesterday and I roughly guessed it, you shameless woman!"
Bai Zhishu dressed up slowly before going out, wearing a red coat, with a stern and harsh expression on her face: "Qingxue, even if I'm not Yanmin's biological mother, I'm still the wife of the Xiao family. You come here early in the morning to scold my daughter-in-law, do you have any evidence?"
Yan Qingxue put on her makeup, and because she was a little anxious and cried, her eyeshadow was a little smudged. Even so, she was still stubborn: "Auntie, don't you know where she ran off to last night?"
Last night, no one knew where Yan Shuhua had gone, but Bai Zhishu naturally believed his daughter-in-law. Yan Qingxue was a woman who spoke without thinking and was not worthy of making close friends with.
"Hurry up and get out. Don't make a noise that keeps everyone in the yard awake." Bai Zhishu gave the housekeeper a look, but the latter seemed a little impatient. After all, this was the young lady, who would dare to drive her out? Seeing that the housekeeper didn't move, Bai Zhishu raised his head and glared at him fiercely. The housekeeper finally couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly went up to persuade Yan Qingxue to go back to her room. On one side was the lady, and on the other side was the young lady. The housekeeper was really embarrassed. Moreover, this Yan Qingxue was really tactless. She always annoyed the lady like this. Wasn't she afraid of getting into trouble?
The housekeeper's words were useless. Yan Qingxue refused to leave until Xiao Yanmin came. She immediately threw herself into Xiao Yanmin's arms: "Yanmin, I..."
"Go back first." Xiao Yanmin felt that her unreasonable behavior was simply a disgrace to him. Yan Qingxue lowered her head, looking aggrieved, "But that woman Yan Shuhua..."
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" It was the first time that Xiao Yanmin got angry at Yan Qingxue. She was scared and stopped talking. She then followed her husband's footsteps and left. Before leaving, she glared at Yan Shuhua with a warning look. If she did something bad again, she would never let her go.
Yan Shuhua thought that he should not have any rift with his mother-in-law, so he tied up Xiao Nanfang and brought her over last night, trying to test whether she had told Bai Zhishu about her actions towards Xiao Jinchu.
Bai Zhishu was shocked. Xiao Nanfang actually did this, which meant that he had already agreed with Yan Shuhua. This was a good thing: "Yan Qingxue is such a fool. She came here to make a scene without knowing anything. Now, Nanfang will have a much lower impression of her!"
As expected, Bai Zhishu guessed it right. Although Xiao Nanfang did not show up in the morning, he knew everything clearly in the room. After hearing about this, he felt disgusted with his daughter-in-law.
Xiao Yanmin, who knew his father best, was naturally very angry about Yan Qingxue's actions. He thought about how his father had finally handed the business to her, and trusted him so much to let him kidnap Yan Shuhua, but his wife's actions this morning made all his previous efforts in vain.
"Yanmin, have I caused you trouble?" Yan Qingxue noticed that Xiao Yanmin looked unhappy along the way, and her complaints had no effect at all in his ears. She was frightened by his expression.
Xiao Yanmin really wanted to scold her, but after all, she was his newlywed wife, so he didn't say much. Yan Qingxue was afraid that her husband would misunderstand her: "Yanmin, I care about you too much, so I go to trouble her, can you please not be angry?"
"Silly boy, why would I be angry with you? Don't take it too seriously." Xiao Yanmin answered in an official manner.
"Yanmin, you shouldn't like that woman, right?" Yan Qingxue was very unhappy, especially unhappy, because Xiao Yanmin was no longer as attentive and enthusiastic towards her as he was when he pursued her before. She always felt as if he was hiding something from her, and this feeling made her feel scared.
She and Xiao Yanmin got married less than two months after they knew each other. In such a short period of time, he was indeed very attentive to her. So after they got married, coupled with the fact that he was handsome and suave, he often went to social places. She was indeed afraid that someone else would snatch her husband away.
That's why she came to Yan Shuhua without thinking this time.
