Chapter 41 Chapter 41 A Girl's Worry
Xuan Jinyu sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing her sister-in-law's surprised eyes moving back and forth between the broken hair on the ground and her own head, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, she just said it directly.
"He's such a rough guy. I don't care what he does with his hair, but he twists my hair like a towel." Xuan Jinyu complained. At this moment, she no longer had the strong desire to cry, but she was still angry.
"He's just a reckless, stinky man, huh!"
Fang Yuanyuan couldn't help but nod. Her brother-in-law was indeed a bit too much. How could he treat his sister's hair like that?
She carefully spread Xuan Jinyu's long hair and took a comb from the dressing table to comb it for her. "Sister, your hair is really well maintained."
She didn't want to agree with Xuan Jinyu and say bad things about Su Guanzhang, so she just smiled apologetically.
"I was thinking that you and your brother-in-law have been used to doing things yourselves all this time. There aren't many maids or servants on this farm. They're all farm ladies. It wouldn't be appropriate to send them to serve you."
"It just so happens that my personal maids and nannies have been assigned to other groups to look for you. They just received the news and are on their way back to the manor."
"Your third brother and I do have a few other maids with us, but they weren't originally there to serve us. We bought them on the road to play with your nephew. They're still young and unsuitable for you."
"If I had known my brother-in-law wasn't capable of these things, I would have come here myself."
Xuan Jinyu shook her head. "Don't say that, Third Sister-in-law. We don't need anyone to serve us anyway."
Although she used to be a delicate young lady with maids all the time, she had only been in exile for a few days and had become accustomed to Su Guanzhang serving her in everything, and was not used to others helping her.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip and said, "Third sister-in-law, you said that he is very thoughtful in other things, why is he so careless now?"
Her mother was not here, and the only one who was close to her was her third sister-in-law from her natal family. She finally asked out the questions that had been accumulating for her all the way.
Fang Yuanyuan thought to herself, it turns out that her sister has feelings for her brother-in-law, but she is shy and her brother-in-law has such a personality, so it's no wonder that she doesn't want to show it.
She chuckled, "Sister, you don't know, but men are all like this."
Xuan Jinyu looked at Fang Yuanyuan in surprise.
"Your third brother is like this, sometimes reliable and sometimes not." Fang Yuanyuan said to Xuan Jinyu, not shying away from disparaging her husband in front of her sister-in-law.
Xuan Jinyu subconsciously wanted to speak up for her third brother, but she quickly remembered the unreliable things Xuan Wensheng had done before, so she stopped talking and listened quietly to Fang Yuanyuan continue.
"Sister, you just heard your third brother say that he was going to teach your husband a lesson, right? But do you believe it? He forgot about it as soon as he left the courtyard?"
Hmm? Will Third Brother...?
It seems...it does.
Xuan Jinyu put aside her worries about Su Guanzhang and couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her lips.
"It seems that Third Sister-in-law has been traveling with Third Brother for the past few years and has experienced a lot."
"That's right. Let me tell you, there was one time..." Fang Yuanyuan had been holding back words for several years, and finally there was someone she could talk to, so she said them out without hesitation.
Xuan Jinyu nodded frequently and couldn't help but follow Fang Yuanyuan's emotions, feeling both angry and amused.
Speaking of which, she also has an interesting story about her third brother.
"Third sister-in-law, you don't know, one year the three of us went on an outing in the suburbs, and the eldest brother asked the third brother to bring a lunch box. He actually took the lunch box, but when he left the house, he didn't know where he put it, and he didn't take it with him."
"In the end, when the carriage was halfway there, he had to send someone home to look for the food box, only to find that it had been knocked over by the cat."
Xuan Jinyu covered her lips and laughed, "Then mother had to ask the kitchen to make us another portion to take with us. When we got home that night, third brother was scolded by mother."
"Is there such a thing?" Fang Yuanyuan also combed Xuan Jinyu's hair at this time. After touching it and finding it was dry, she put the comb back on the dressing table.
"It shows that men are so careless." Fang Yuanyuan concluded.
Xuan Jinyu held her hand in agreement, "Third sister-in-law understands me."
She pouted, "But Third Sister-in-law, Third Brother is much more knowledgeable and interesting than Su Guanzhang. He is good at talking and coaxing people."
At this point, Xuan Jinyu began to complain again, "He never said anything good to me."
Look at how Su Guanzhang comforted her when she started crying just now? And then look at how Xuan Wensheng comforted her?
Hateful Su Guanzhang, he has made her angry for so many years and he won’t even give her a gift!
When he came back from a business trip, he would only buy a bag of cakes. She wasn't a greedy cat, so who would want the cakes he brought back? It wasn't like she wouldn't ask him to buy them on weekdays!
Compare him to my third brother, he always thinks of me when he sees something fun outside.
Xuan Jinyu touched the small box under the pillow lovingly, and caught a glimpse of a glaring mass of black hair on the ground from the corner of her eye, which made her even more angry.
Fang Yuanyuan touched her angry sister-in-law.
She is already a mother, but she still maintains this girlish heart. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
It should be a good thing, right?
Having said that, Fang Yuanyuan hesitated a little when she thought about what Xuan Wensheng said to her when they just left the house.
"Madam, I am a man after all, so it's not easy for me to say intimate words to my sister." Xuan Wensheng said, "I can see that my sister has feelings for her brother-in-law, but she always insists on being stubborn."
"Now is a good opportunity, why don't you take the time to ask?"
"Of course, it's okay if you don't find the opportunity. I will follow them for the next year. I can find a chance to find out what Jinyu is thinking. Madam, please don't feel any psychological burden."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuanyuan calmed herself down, stood up from the stool, and sat on the bed close to Xuan Jinyu.
There are only the two of them here, the aunt and the sister-in-law. Why is the third sister-in-law so mysterious?
Xuan Jinyu also became curious and moved closer to Fang Yuanyuan. "Third sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me in private?"
Her eyes were bright with curiosity and excitement.
Her eyes, which had just been crying, were crystal clear like washed water, with a brilliance flowing in them that almost made Fang Yuanyuan unable to recover from the shock.
After hearing Xuan Jinyu's question, Fang Yuanyuan came back to her senses and asked her softly, "Jinyu, what do you and your brother-in-law think?"
She thought her sister and brother-in-law seemed to be on better terms than they had been in the past three years, but her husband insisted that there was still a hurdle between them that they couldn't overcome, especially her sister.
Xuan Jinyu and Fang Yuanyuan, the sister-in-law, have a very good relationship, but they are not yet to the point where they can confide in each other.
But at this time, she had left her hometown, and the only person she could confide in, her mother, was far away in the capital. The only person she could talk to here was her third sister-in-law.
As she thought about it, Xuan Jinyu's eyes dimmed, like stars returning to the night.
Her nose felt sore and she began to sob, "Third sister-in-law, Su Guanzhang has someone else in his heart."
Once the words are out of your mouth, it's much easier to continue speaking.
She told Fang Yuanyuan about the grievances she had suffered over the past three years and the conversation she overheard between the two maids on the day the Su family encountered trouble.
More than half a month later, she still remembers it clearly.
She still remembered the heartache she felt when she suddenly heard that Su Guanzhang had someone in his heart.
Xuan Jinyu clutched her lower abdomen and said, "Third sister-in-law, I hate him so much, but I can't let him go."
"My mother told me to follow my heart. I wanted to take revenge on him, but these past few days, I've often ignored this resentment."
The plans she made to mess with Su Guanzhang were not implemented at all.
She bit her handkerchief angrily, she was really at a loss.
Is there such a thing?
Fang Yuanyuan was surprised.
But she quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation with Xuan Jinyu, "The timing of these two women's appearance is quite coincidental. They didn't say anything earlier or later, but hid behind the rockery and gossiped when the Su family was in trouble, and you even heard them."
Xuan Jinyu nodded. In fact, her mother had also analyzed the situation with her.
She thought about it for half a month and felt that this might be a trap set by Su Guanzhang to provoke her, so that she could divorce and return home and escape from the mess of the Su family.
"But I still care," Xuan Jinyu said, "and my mother found out for me that there really was such a girl who divorced and returned to the capital at that time."
I just don't know if she is really Su Guanzhang's sweetheart.
If it was fake, it would be fine. Since Su Guanzhang lied to her, she would just give him a good beating and her anger would subside.
But if it is true... then this stinky man Su Guanzhang is even more hateful.
"Why don't you just ask your brother-in-law directly?" Fang Yuanyuan gave her some advice. She really couldn't bear to see her beautiful sister-in-law trapped in love.
Such a sad look does not suit her. She, Xuan Jinyu, should be a phoenix soaring in the sky, high above, free and carefree.
"I...I don't dare."
Xuan Jinyu leaned her head against Fang Yuanyuan, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Third sister-in-law, I finally got along so well with him. If I tell you the truth, he really has someone in his heart..."
She also had to go to Huaizhao County with the Su family to give birth to the child. Once she said it out loud, she knew that he really had someone else in his heart. There was still more than half a year to go by. How would she get through it?
Therefore, that day at the Shili Pavilion outside Shengjing City, after her questioning was interrupted by the Chang and Xu family members who came to see her off, she no longer dared to think about confronting Su Guanzhang.
Even when they stayed at the post station that night, Su Guanzhang wanted to explain to her, but as soon as he started, she said she already knew the answer and there was no need to mention it again.
She could see that Su Guanzhang really thought she had figured it out, so he felt relieved. He never expected that she didn't dare to listen.
The girl who was raised in the palm of her family's hand lost her former boldness and brightness once she tasted the bitterness of love, and could not help but retreat.
Fang Yuanyuan hugged Xuan Jinyu lovingly, "Jinyu..."
She didn't know what to say.
Ultimately, the crux of the matter lies between the couple. Their personalities are so different that they are in a dilemma.
"Third sister-in-law, I know it was third brother who asked you to trick me." Xuan Jinyu suddenly said.
Fang Yuanyuan paused patting her back.
Was it discovered?
She didn't show a little discomfort on her face, but she felt relieved in her heart.
Xuan Wensheng often told her that his sister was a silly beauty, but she thought that her sister was quite smart and clever!
