Situ Qianhui was dressed very luxuriously today. She wore exquisite makeup as if she was attending a banquet.
Although she was in her forties, she looked like a woman in her thirties due to her high martial art strength and proper daily maintenance.
âIâm here to see sister-in-law.â
âMadam is inside. Iâll go in and inform her first.â
Female servants turned around and walked in, but Situ Qianhui stopped them. âNo need. My Sister-in-law and I are families. We donât have many rules.â
The two female servants looked at each other, not sure if they should let her in.
Situ Qianhui glanced at the two female servants before walking in.
âWhy does Young Miss Qianhui suddenly want to see Madam?â
âI donât know. Young Miss Qianhui is such a good person, yet she wasted her time for her master.â
âI still feel that Young Miss Qianhui and master are the best matches.â
...
Lingâer saw that Xiao Jiu was sweating profusely from playing, so she prepared some fruits and placed them on the table. She waved at Xiao Jiu and said, âXiao Jiu, are you tired from playing? Come and rest for a while.â
Just as she finished shouting, she saw an extremely beautiful woman walking over from Bluestone Road. She was dressed luxuriously and had exquisite makeup. One look could tell that she was not an ordinary person.
Situ Qianhui saw the woman standing under the tree. She looked familiar. She took a step forward and stopped in front of her. She began to size up the woman in front of her. She looked about the same age as her, but slightly older than her. She had no makeup on, her face was still slightly pale.
However, she had to admit that this face that had no makeup on was very beautiful. She was old, yet she still carried a little bit of spiritual energy.
She looked very familiar as if she had seen her somewhere before.
After sizing her up, Situ Qianhui smiled and greeted her, âIâm Situ Qianhui. Iâve long heard that Brother Jiu has brought his girlfriend back, so I came to visit you today.â
Lingâer then realized that the Young Miss Qianhui mentioned by the female servants was this person in front of her. She was Ziqingâs childhood sweetheart and fiancée.
âYouâre too polite. Iâm his wife, not his girlfriend.â Lingâer smiled faintly.
Situ Qianhui looked at Lingâer in surprise. âIs that so? But Brother Jiu didnât hold a wedding, nor did he hold a press conference to announce the wife of the president. I thought you were Brother Jiuâs girlfriend. Why didnât he say so earlier? Otherwise, I wouldnât have misunderstood.â
Lingâer smiled. âA wedding is just a formality. The marriage certificate is recognized by the law. Heâs so busy, that he needs time to deal with these things one by one. âBesides, marriage is a matter between two people. The days are spent by two people. Everyone doesnât need to know.â
Situ Qianhui realized that the woman in front of her seemed weak, but she had a sharp tongue, she laughed. âThatâs true, but the ninth brotherâs status is different. Many eyes are on him. If he were an ordinary person, he would naturally have the same logic as Sister.â
Lingâer took two steps to the right and sat down on the rattan chair. It was as if she had no bones. On the rattan chair, she looked up at Situ Qianhui and curled her lips. âDonât call me Sis. I am not close to you.â
Situ Qianhui was a little angry, but when she remembered that she was in brother Jiuâs courtyard, she endured it. âI only called you sis because of brother Jiu. Otherwise, when you walk out of this door, Iâm afraid no one will recognize you.â
Lingâer picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. âI donât know them. Why would I want them to know me?â
Situ Qianhuiâs face changed in anger. She didnât expect this woman to be so thick-skinned. She had underestimated her.
Xiao Jiu ran over and stood beside Lingâer. He looked up at situ Qianhui and asked, âWhoâs her, Grandma?â
âGrandma doesnât know her either. You must be tired from playing. Come, drink some water first.â Lingâer looked at Xiao Jiuâs blushing face, picked up the cup and handed it to him.
Xiao Jiu took the cup and drank two mouthfuls of water obediently, then looked up at Situ Qianhui with an innocent look on his face, he said, âAre you the new female servants? Itâs not convenient for you to work by dressing like this. I suggest you dress like the two sisters at the door.â
Lingâer scratched Xiao Jiuâs nose and said, âNaughty.â Then she looked at Situ Qianhui and said, âHeâs still a child. He doesnât understand the difference between female servants and guests. Donât mind him.â
This was the first time Situ Qianhui was considered a female servant. How could she bear this injustice?
They were all from the countryside and had no experience.
âSo youâre a guest.â Xiao Jiu drank two more mouthfuls of water and put the cup back on the table.
âYou must be hungry. Eat some snacks and fruits to fill your stomach first. You can have dinner later.â Lingâer picked up the fruit plate and let Xiao Jiu pick it out.
Xiao Jiu picked up a peach. It had been washed clean and could be eaten directly. He took a bite and asked, âWhen will Grandpa come? He promised in the morning that he would come earlier today.â
Lingâer took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off Xiao Jiuâs forehead. âIt should be soon.â
Xiao Jiu took a bite of the peach. There was a lot of sweet juice. He reached out and picked one up and handed it to Lingâer, he said, âGrandma, you should eat it too. Grandpa asked someone to send these over for you to eat. If you donât eat them, Grandpaâs efforts will be wasted.â
Lingâer took the peach, but she didnât eat it directly. Instead, she said, âLetâs eat in the afternoon. I canât eat lunch after eating this. He would say that I ate too little.â
The two of them talked back and forth, completely ignoring Situ Qianhui who was standing at the side. Her expression didnât look good.
She turned around and left in confusion.
The little boy called her grandma. She had a daughter?
The daughter was Brother Jiu?
It shouldnât be. If it was Brother Jiu, it was impossible for Brother Jiu not to take him back.
Would it be that the woman was married twice?
When did Brother Jiuâs taste become so bad?
Lingâer and Xiao Jiu turned to look at Situ Qianhui when they saw her leave.
On the way.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Situ Qianhui saw brother Jiu walking over. Her eyes were filled with infatuation. She had waited for so many years. She couldnât give up so easily.
âBrother Jiu, I went to see my sister-in-law just now and she did not allow me to call her sister-in-law. Did I call her by mistake?â
In front of the man, Situ Qianhui had changed from her previous flamboyance to a gentle and virtuous one. Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of grievance in it.
The man raised his eyes to look at Situ Qianhui. Seeing that she had been wronged, he felt guilty towards her, so he did not say anything harsh. âShe likes peace. Donât disturb her.â
âBrother Jiu, I just want to see what kind of woman you like. She can be compared to our relationship. I donât have any other intentions.â She lowered her eyes, feeling wronged. Her voice was slightly choked up.
âThe engagement was made by Father.â The man paused. âIn the end, I let you down. With your current status, you donât have to worry about getting married.â
âBrother Jiu, I donât want to get married. Iâve said that I wonât marry anyone other than brother Jiu. Brother Jiu isnât willing to marry me. Iâd rather be single than be with someone I donât like.â
