The carriage slowly drove away from the front of the Taifu Mansion and passed through the bustling streets. The vendors' cries and conversations kept coming into the carriage.
The tall and long-legged man was sitting lazily in the upper seat of the carriage, looking straight at the charming and beautiful woman in the lower seat with a bright smile on her face.
Delicate fingers fiddled with the spoils they had reaped at the banquet today.
The afternoon sunlight melted into the carriage, tinging his affectionate peach blossom eyes with a layer of gentle moisture, neutralizing the rebellious sharpness between his eyebrows.
Li Nian finished counting the items and put them away in a cloth bag. She raised her face and smiled sweetly and asked, "Husband, are you really going to give me everything you won today?"
Xiao Yunyu was distracted by her sweet smile. After hearing her words, he frowned and said, "These are other men's things. What are you keeping them for?"
"Pawn it for silver!" She raised her eyes and stared at him, her eyes full of desire.
Xiao Yunyu didn't expect such an answer. His cold eyes returned to a lazy smile. "There's a pawnshop on the way back. I'll go with you."
"No need!" Li Nian refused immediately.
She felt her tone was too obvious, so she smiled softly, "There's no rush to pawn it now. What if there's something your friend cares about among these things? Let's wait a few days. If someone comes with silver and wants to redeem their things, my husband can ask for a higher price for me."
Xiao Yunyu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "You are quite calculating."
Li Nian didn't like his comment very much, but she still smiled at him ingratiatingly without any rebuttal or argument.
She breathed a sigh of relief, as the pawnshop she passed by on the road happened to be the one she and Sisi often went to.
In the eyes of the shopkeeper, she and Sisi are a couple. Now she appears with Xiao Yunyu, what if the shopkeeper finds out?
If it is revealed that she and Sisi sold their dowry, she will be doomed!
The other side.
Li Sisi was filled with doubts when she thought of Wen Luoxin suddenly showing her attention to Xiao Yunchen.
She asked tentatively, "Chenchen, what do you think of Wen Luoxin, the little granddaughter that Master Wen just adopted?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yunchen's gaze paused slightly, a hint of admiration flashed across his face, and he said, "Miss Wen is kind and intelligent. Although she was separated from her family at a young age and grew up in the countryside, she has a strong heart and is able to face the sun despite hardships."
"Now, she has finally reaped the rewards of her hardships and emerged as a butterfly."
Li Sisi listened to his generous praise, and the hope that she had always held in her heart collapsed at this moment.
She turned her head, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, tears welling up in her eyes. She muttered, "My husband thinks very highly of her."
The hair hanging down from his forehead was blown wildly by the wind brought by the running carriage.
She raised her face slightly, forced back the heat that welled up in her eyes, and chuckled softly.
She has read the original novel.
It was obvious that the supporting male character Xiao Yunchen favored the female lead, even though the female lead never chose him from beginning to end.
He is still infatuated with the heroine.
Everyone says that the male lead belongs to the female lead and the supporting male lead belongs to everyone, and that’s what she thought when she read the book.
Who doesn’t love a loving male supporting role?
However, the male supporting role is destined to love the female lead.
If she still had some hope before, now she has given up.
Maybe the plot is really irreversible!
No matter whether the heroine chooses her brother or her younger brother in the end, one of her and Nian Nian will be sad.
Instead of passively choosing, it is better to actively abandon it.
Xiao Yunchen sensed something unusual in her voice and straightened her body, which was facing the car window. "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Li Sisi looked at his gentle and caring expression, and a sour feeling surged in her heart. She tried hard to suppress and ignore it.
Smiling, he said, "I'm fine, just a little..."
She was always quick-witted, but now she was so slow that she didn't know what excuse to make.
Xiao Yunchen looked at her red eyes. The light from outside reflected into her eyes, revealing a faint crystal tear. A tear that was about to fall hung at the corner of her eye.
In Xiao Yunchen's memory, his wife had always been bright and sunny, never like now, looking stubborn and pitiful.
His brows furrowed deeply, a trace of heartache and confusion rose in his heart. He stretched out his hand to hug her: "My wife, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Li Sisi dodged slightly to the side, the tears in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and then she was replaced by a cool and decisive determination.
The tears in her eyes had not yet disappeared, but she had already chuckled: "I'm really fine, but my husband's comments on Miss Wen just now moved me. She really has had a very difficult life."
Xiao Yunchen was slightly startled, then his expression relaxed, and a smile of approval appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that my wife is such a soft-hearted and kind person."
Li Sisi stared at his relaxed brows and asked, "What kind of person should I be in your eyes?"
Xiao Yunchen felt that his wife was a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange about her.
He frowned slightly in confusion, then answered truthfully, "My wife is straightforward and expresses her joy easily. Sometimes she is bold and cute, but sometimes she can be a little spoiled."
"But, my lady, no matter what, I like it," he added.
Li Sisi chewed over his words carefully, her bright eyes and eyebrows showing some loneliness.
It turned out that in Xiao Yunchen's eyes, Wen Luoxin was dignified, generous, intelligent and virtuous, while she, Li Sisi, was a rude and unreasonable woman.
After a long while, Li Sisi suddenly smiled slightly: "Xiao Yunchen, you are a good person."
"My wife..." Xiao Yunchen felt a little flustered for some reason. "You seem to be in a bad mood today. Could it be that your period has come?"
"Maybe it's coming soon," Li Sisi said casually. It has been almost a month since she traveled here, and her period is about to come.
The menstrual belts used in ancient times were not very useful. They seemed to be made of cloth strips with wood ash inside. Things like that must be full of bacteria, right?
I'll go back and work with Nian Nian to develop a useful sanitary napkin.
Moreover, the heroine has already appeared, but she abandons the hero to hook up with the supporting male character, which is really unbelievable.
But it doesn't matter, they are all going to leave anyway.
It's a good opportunity for them to discuss how to leave and where to settle down in the future.
Also, their health points are still a little short, so we have to hurry up and earn more.
Thinking of this, Li Sisi grabbed Xiao Yunchen's hand and held it.
Time is life, even a small mosquito is meat!
