"Master Wife!"
"Yu-ge'er, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi first called out to Su Qinghe, and then noticed that Ji Qingyu was sitting on the ground. Ignoring the woman standing next to her, he quickly ran over and squatted down to check on her.
But Ji Yuan's attention was not on that at all; he just stood there blankly without moving.
"Zhao...Xin!" After a long while, he murmured, taking a half step back with one foot.
"Um?"
Zhao Xin heard someone call her name and turned to look at him, but he was standing at the far end of the corridor, in complete darkness, and she couldn't see his face at all.
But seeing that familiar figure, combined with that voice from before, her eyes flashed, and she rushed straight towards him.
"You bitch!"
She looked fierce, as if she wanted to devour Ji Yuan.
"Brother! Come here quickly!" Ji Qingyu cried out anxiously from the ground.
"Stand there and don't move!"
Su Qinghe coldly rebuked him and kicked him back again.
"What are you doing! This time I'm getting close to my own husband!"
Zhao Xin was kicked to the ground again, and roared at her angrily.
"your?"
Su Qinghe emphasized those two words, then turned to look at Ji Yuan behind her.
"Ah Yuan! Do you know her?"
Although she was already certain in her heart that this person was Ji Yuan's former wife, she still asked her a question out of consideration.
"Su, my lady, don't listen to her nonsense. My brother and I don't know her at all!"
Upon hearing Su Qinghe's question, Ji Qingyu spoke anxiously, reaching out to tug at her skirt.
He didn't want his older brother to be abandoned again, because he knew he wouldn't be able to survive if he did.
"My wife..."
Lin Xi squatted to the side, feeling somewhat lost. He didn't know what to say.
"Hmph! Denying it won't help; his name is still on my family's genealogy! A simple check will prove it!"
Zhao Xin gave a confident, cold laugh.
Su Qinghe ignored the two of them and just quietly looked at Ji Yuan, waiting for his answer.
"……Um!"
After a long pause, Ji Yuan gave a very soft "hmm".
"Brother!"
Ji Qingyu stared anxiously, while Lin Xi looked at him with concern.
Ji Yuan stopped talking; he didn't want to hide it from her.
He nervously lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Qinghe, afraid of seeing the look of disgust and anger on her face.
Knowing that he had been married before is one thing, but meeting his former wife is quite another.
What woman could tolerate such an insult!
Even if Su Qinghe is unlike any other woman he has ever met, he still can't guarantee anything.
If she truly didn't want him anymore, he would never cling to her...
"Understood!" Su Qinghe said calmly.
"Master Wife?"
Hearing such a calm tone, Ji Yuan raised his head and carefully observed her expression.
She was neither angry nor disgusted.
She really is different!
"Hmph! You still know I'm your wife! Now you want to back down? Too late!"
Zhao Xin got up from the ground again. When she heard Ji Yuan calling her, she thought he had been discovered and was trying to please her.
"No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere, turns out you've come all the way to Tianhe County!"
She lifted her foot to walk over, but stopped on her own when she passed Su Qinghe.
"You heard it all? He admitted it himself, I am his wife,"
"Can I go now?"
She turned to face Su Qinghe, looking straight ahead, and puffed out her chest as if to bolster her courage, her tone stiff.
"Excuse me! He just called out to me!"
Su Qinghe looked at her expressionlessly.
"I am now his wife!"
As she spoke, she walked over and led the person over.
"What did you say?"
Seeing Ji Yuan following Su Qinghe so obediently, Zhao Xin clenched her fists, and her breathing became rapid, clearly furious.
She pointed at Ji Yuan and started cursing.
"You shameless slut!"
"Back then, I sent you to serve a nobleman, and you pretended to be virtuous and chaste. Now you've run off to this remote and impoverished place to find some wild woman!"
"What a shameless wretch who doesn't know how to enjoy life!"
Listening to Zhao Xin's foul language, Ji Yuan hid behind Su Qinghe, trembling uncontrollably, his hands tightly gripping her sleeves.
Zhao Xin was so angry that her face turned pale, and she was about to rush over to hit him, but Su Qinghe twisted her wrist and broke it.
"I think you really don't learn your lesson at all!" Su Qinghe said coldly.
"I'll give you fifteen minutes to pack your things and get out of here, or I'll cripple your other hand."
The excruciating pain brought a sliver of reason back to Zhao Xin. Hearing Su Qinghe's impolite words, she no longer rushed forward in anger, but instead stared resentfully at Ji Yuan beside her.
"Don't think that just because you've found a woman to protect you, I can't do anything to you. I'll make you come back obediently sooner or later! Humph!"
She gave a final snort, covered her hand, and quickly went upstairs. A short while later, she reappeared in front of everyone with Jing'er.
"My lord..."
When Jing'er saw Ji Yuan, she exclaimed in surprise, her expression changed drastically, and she turned to look nervously at Zhao Xin.
"snort!"
Zhao Xin's expression was cold and stern. Without explaining, he directly pulled Jing'er out of Shili Xiang.
Jing'er was pulled along very quickly by her, and in order not to hurt the child, he could only try to follow closely behind her.
But he couldn't help himself and glanced back, a sinister glint in his eyes.
...
Ten Mile Fragrance, Second Floor Corridor.
“My lady! I…” Ji Yuan looked at Su Qinghe, wanting to say something.
"We'll talk about this later," Su Qinghe said, patting his hand reassuringly.
