Chapter 1736: 1736 jealous “Then let’s see who wins!” Xiao Yuchuan narrowed his eyes. He was no longer the village man he used to be. “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t cause any fatalities,” she said. “So when it’s necessary, I can kill him, right?” He narrowed his eyes again, always feeling like he wanted to get rid of Chang Haotian to stop him from trying to steal his wife every day. Su Qingyue read her third brother’s expression and knew what he was thinking. “You’re thinking it’s already a necessary moment, aren’t you?” “…Wife, you’re so smart.” A good man doesn’t lie to his dear. “For now, don’t fight him.” Su Qingyue furrowed her brows, “Right now, it’s more important for you to find a way to control the power of the Xiao Family. If you and Chang Haotian fight and hurt each other, the Gongsun Family and other lurking second and third-rate aristocratic families will benefit. If there are any more disruptions within the Xiao Family, it would not be worth the cost.” “Wife is right.” Xiao Yuchuan nodded. Meanwhile, Su Qingyue thought she needed to find a way to make Chang Haotian back off soon. At this moment, a servant came to report, “Young Lady, the family head of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Yanli, is here to visit.” “What’s he here for?” Before Su Qingyue could respond, Xiao Yuchuan answered for her, “Do not see him.” Su Qingyue glanced at Yuchuan, “Why not see him?” “I found out that when you were still in men’s clothing, Gongsun Yanli thought you were Su Xingyun and treated you differently. That sissy ignores everyone else but tries to get close to you.” Xiao Yuchuan’s face flashed with jealousy. “If he finds out you’re a woman and sees how heavenly you look, what if he falls in love with you? Wouldn’t that mean I’d have another love rival?” “…” Su Qingyue only laughed, “How could so many people fall in love with me? I seem to recall that you had far more admirers than I did.” “Those are just rotten admirers, not even worthy to hold your shoes.” Xiao Yuchuan snorted, “Dear, even one branch of your admirers is more than enough for your husband here…” “You’re overthinking it.” Su Qingyue said with a smile, “Gongsun Yanli has never seen me without disguise. People may not react as you imagined.” “Hopefully, he doesn’t like you. Otherwise, I’ll be furious.” “If you like being angry so much, go ahead and be angry.” “Hmph!” Xiao Yuchuan said unhappily, “You are not allowed to see him.” “Alright, I won’t see him.” Su Qingyue instructed, “Just say I’m not here; I’m conveniently out.” “Yes.” The servant received the order and left. Qingyue smiled, looking at her third brother’s puffed-up face, “Happy now?” His handsome face blossomed into a bright, sunny smile as he blew her a kiss, “Dear, you’re so wonderful.” “What a fool.” She chastised. He walked over to her, hugged her, sat himself in a chair, and let her sit on his thigh. He reached out and playfully pinched her chest, whispering into her ear, “Would you really let me die, hmm?” She slapped his hand away, “It’s broad daylight, don’t be so indecent!” “I have no interest in other women, but with you, I’m like a wolf, dear…” he whispered as he nibbled her delicate earlobe. Just as he was about to make another move, Maid Yinzhu ran in from outside the courtyard, breathlessly shouting, “Young Lady, you’re back; I missed you so much! I was sent by Housekeeper Fu to inspect your medicine fields and only just got back.” She had followed the young Lady for years, earning her trust, and knew martial arts, so she was occasionally assigned some tasks. Seeing someone had arrived, Su Qingyue, feeling shy, quickly stood up from Xiao Yuchuan’s lap, but Yuchuan pulled her back into his arms, “Dear, what’s there to be shy about?”
