Su Yuewei returned home
Jiang Nianrou and Ye Huaijin arrived at Changshou Garden, led by their servants.
Hearing footsteps outside, Li Jinghe felt a surge of nervousness.
The two entered from outside one after the other. When Li Jinghe saw Jiang Nianrou, his eyes remained fixed on her.
Jiang Nianrou said gently, "Jinghe, it's been a long time."
Li Jinghe snapped out of his reverie, nodded, and smiled, "Yes, it's been five years and sixty-one days since we last met."
Jiang Nianrou was surprised by how accurately he remembered.
Ye Huaijin, who was standing next to him, looked unwell and said, "We have met Young Master Li's wife before."
Li Jinghe asked in surprise, "Where have you met before?"
Ye Huaijin explained with a smile, "It's in Leiyu Village, but I think your wife's relationship with Young Master Xie is quite unusual."
"Young Master Xie can tell those bandits himself that he loves your wife."
Jiang Nianrou, who was standing next to Ye Huaijin, nudged him and changed the subject, saying, "Where is Madam Li? I was having a good chat with her."
Li Jinghe clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, his expression unchanged, and said, "She suffered some shock and has been resting in her room for the past few days."
Jiang Nianrou asked with concern, "Is it because of what happened among the bandits?"
Li Jinghe frowned and asked, "What happened to her at Leiyu Village?"
Jiang Nianrou's hesitant expression inevitably led people to speculate.
"Actually, it's nothing much, except that she spent a few days with a group of bandits."
"A woman in a group of men is bound to make some men unable to resist, let alone a group of ruthless mountain bandits."
Ye Huaijin sensed something was wrong when he heard what she said, and kept staring at her.
Why would she badmouth his wife in front of her husband?
Li Jinghe thought about Su Yuexing's unusual behavior these past few days. Besides being related to her family, could it also be related to that group of bandits?
After they left, Li Jinghe went to Su Yuexing's room. "Young Master, the young mistress just fell asleep," Hua Hong said.
Li Jinghe nodded and said, "You can go down now."
Hua Hong responded and left.
Looking at Su Yuexing's sleeping face, Li Jinghe couldn't bear to wake her.
Hua Hong said that she couldn't sleep, and when she woke up, she wouldn't say anything, just stare blankly at something.
It will cry when it's hungry and sleep when it's tired, like a normal person, but not quite.
Su Yuexing's eyelashes trembled slightly, showing signs of waking up, and Li Jinghe withdrew his hand.
Su Yuexing was surprised to see Li Jinghe appear by her bedside.
"He's awake," Li Jinghe said.
Su Yuexing didn't answer him, her gaze fixed on a certain spot, reverting to her previous expression.
Li Jinghe said, "I kicked your sister out."
Hearing his words, Su Yuexing's expression changed slightly. "Yuewei."
Li Jinghe continued, "Your sister deceived me, so I kicked her out."
Su Yuexing got up and walked outside, calling out, "Yuewei!"
Li Jinghe quickly grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Yuexing tried to break free from his grasp, "Let go of me! I need to find Yuewei!"
Li Jinghe explained, "Don't worry! She's doing very well!"
Su Yuexing paused, then asked, "How did you know?"
Li Jinghe frowned. Should he tell her that her father had taken a liking to her sister and wanted to marry her?
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Su Yuexing said anxiously, "Say it quickly!"
Li Jinghe said, "Don't worry, your sister is doing better than you, because she doesn't know what happened in your family."
Li Jinghe grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Did you encounter any danger at Thunderstorm Village?"
Su Yuexing frowned and asked, "How did you know I was captured and taken to Thunderstorm Village?"
Li Jinghe unconsciously tightened his grip, "Don't worry about how I know."
"You only need to answer my question!"
Su Yuexing cried out in pain, "It hurts! My hand!"
Li Jinghe realized what was happening and let go of his hand. "I'm sorry."
Su Yuexing rubbed her hands and said, "Fortunately, with Xie Xuanye around, I didn't suffer any losses."
Hearing her say that, Li Jinghe was relieved and said, "Don't always stay in your room, go out for a walk sometimes."
Looking into his eyes, Su Yuexing asked, "Where is my sister now?"
Li Jinghe avoided eye contact and said, "She can stay wherever she wants."
Su Yuexing asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Jinghe said evasively, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep." Without even taking off his clothes, he lay down on Su Yuexing's bed.
“You…” Su Yuexing exclaimed in shock.
“This is my bed! If you want to sleep, you should go back to your own bed!” she said.
Li Jinghe ignored it, closed his eyes, and went to sleep peacefully.
Li Jinghe thought she definitely wouldn't be able to pull him up, but to his surprise, Su Yuexing pulled him up instantly.
Startled, Li Jinghe immediately opened his eyes and exclaimed, "How can you be so strong!"
Su Yuexing said proudly, "I go hunting all the time!"
"One person once carried a wild boar!"
Su Yuexing took the lead, lying on the bed with her limbs spread out, taking up most of the bed space.
Li Jinghe ignored her and lay down on the bed again, his neck pressing down on Su Yuexing's arm.
Su Yuexing tried to pull her hand away, but Li Jinghe held it firmly. "You're holding my hand down! Get up!"
Li Jinghe was secretly pleased with himself, but pretended to say, "Really? I didn't feel anything."
Su Yuexing struggled to pull her hand away, "I've never seen anyone as childish as you!"
Seeing that he was forcing himself onto the bed, Su Yuexing had no choice but to make room for him and move herself over.
Li Jinghe was secretly pleased with himself and moved to the side as well. "Su Yuexing! No matter what happens to you, I will be by your side."
Su Yuexing frowned and turned to look at him, saying, "Why would you say such a thing?"
Li Jinghe shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Su Yuexing's eyes flickered, and she said, "My sister..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Jinghe covered her mouth with his hand, saying, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
Su Yuexing had no choice but to shut her mouth and stop mentioning it.
Hearing the even breathing sounds coming from beside him, Li Jinghe opened his eyes and slowly took her hand.
That night, both of them slept soundly.
Jiang Nianrou would frequently visit the Li residence to chat with Su Yuexing. The two would laugh and talk, while Li Jinghe watched from the side.
Jiang Nianrou mostly talked about interesting things about Li Jinghe, including many things that Su Yuexing didn't know before.
"Yuexing, you probably don't know, Li Jinghe was still wetting the bed when he was eight years old!" After saying that, she glanced at Li Jinghe and covered her mouth to chuckle.
Li Jinghe's face flushed slightly, and he feigned anger as he said, "Nianrou!"
Jiang Nianrou continued, "There was another stupid thing he did. He used to take a hard-boiled egg and put it in the quilt, hoping to hatch a chick."
Li Jinghe held his forehead, a helpless, bitter smile on his face.
Upon hearing these interesting things, Su Yuexing's face lit up with a smile she hadn't seen in a long time.
Seeing the smile on her face, Li Jinghe smiled with satisfaction.
During this time, she chatted with Nianrou and smiled more, hoping that Nianrou could forget the pain she had suffered before.
Hua Hong came in from outside, her expression somewhat strange.
"Young Master, Young Madam, Master requests your presence," Hua Hong said respectfully.
Jiang Nianrou tactfully said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back first."
Su Yuexing stood up and said, "Please take care, Madam Ye."
Su Yuexing followed Li Jinghe to Master Li's room.
"Yuewei!" Su Yuexing walked over excitedly, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Where did you go?"
Su Yuewei replied coldly, "Where I go, do you, as my older sister, really care?"
Su Yuexing frowned and said, "Yuewei! What are you saying?"
Su Yuewei snorted coldly, "Don't call me Yuewei, you should address me as Madam."
Su Yuexing took a step back in shock, "Madam?"
Li Jinghe had long anticipated this day would come, and he stepped forward and took Su Yuexing's hand.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "From now on, we'll be family. I'll marry your sister in a few days."
Su Yuexing felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body swayed. Li Jinghe immediately caught her.
She looked at Su Yuewei in disbelief. "Yuewei! Did you do this willingly?"
“If not, I will risk my life to take you away from the Li family.”
Li Zhi said with a stern face, "Am I the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will?"
Su Yuexing said disdainfully, "Aren't you the same?"
“You…” he said, pointing his finger.
Li Jinghe shot him a sharp look, "Say less!"
Li Zhi angrily flung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
Li Wanxi came in from outside with a look of amusement on her face, and said sarcastically, "The older sister is marrying her son, and the younger sister is marrying her father. How interesting."
Li Zhi vented his pent-up anger on her, yelling, "What are you doing here!"
Li Wanxi wasn't angry at all. "My brother is going to remarry, so of course I'm here to offer my congratulations."
She walked up to Su Yuewei, looked her up and down, and said, "You do resemble someone somewhat. No wonder my brother married you!"
Li Zhi roared, "Are you done talking?! If you're done, get back to your yard!"
"Or you can get out of the Li family!"
Li Wanxi immediately shut his mouth; that woman was still his Achilles' heel and could not be touched.
Su Yuewei smiled. It didn't matter who she resembled; what mattered was that she would enjoy endless wealth and luxury in the future!
For her, marrying Li Jinghe or Li Zhi was the same.
As long as she can live a good life and doesn't have to go back to suffering.
Li Zhi, holding Su Yuewei's hand, announced to them, "We will get married on the eighth day of next month."
Su Yuexing pulled Su Yuewei into a room alone.
“Tell me! Why did you want to marry Master Li?” Su Yuexing asked.
Su Yuewei admired her hands and said slowly, "If I allow you to live a good life, I won't allow your sister to live a comfortable life either."
Su Yuexing asked incredulously, "So you're after the Li family's money, right?"
Su Yuewei nodded frankly and said, "Yes."
Su Yuexing said with heartache, "Yuewei! How could you become someone I don't recognize!"
“It’s not just you, it’s Dad too.”
Su Yuewei sneered, "I am who I am! Don't compare me to him!"
Should I tell her what happened to my mother? Su Yuexing's eyes flickered, then she decided to tell her anyway.
After Su Yuexing recounted what Su Shi had done to the Su family, her expression remained unchanged.
To her reaction, Su Yuexing asked in surprise, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
