Chapter 1482: Have taken a fancy to cousin sister’s husband 1482

“So, where do you think they went?”

Su Zhenzhu, who had been making things up, couldn’t answer and acted as if she was in a difficult position, “Brother-in-law, Qingyue is my cousin, I… I can’t betray her.” Her expression flickered as if she was helping Su Qingyue cover up an affair.

Xiao Yuchuan was nearly overwhelmed with jealousy at the mere thought of his wife actually going out with Chang Haotian, yet deep down he still believed his wife wouldn’t do anything to betray him, “If I tell you to speak, you will speak.”

Su Zhenzhu, however, changed the subject, “Brother-in-law, look, it’s so hot. Why don’t I go inside and pour you a cup of water?”

Xiao Yuchuan slightly narrowed his eyes, knowing that a man should not casually enter a woman’s boudoir.

This Su Zhenzhu was all dressed up and kept sneaking glances filled with adoration.

Clearly…

She had taken a fancy to him, Xiao Yuchuan?

“No need.” He coldly refused and turned to leave the yard.

Su Zhenzhu saw him leaving and hastily exclaimed, “Oh no, I feel so dizzy…”

She pretended to sway a few times before feigning a faint.

Xiao Yuchuan did not even turn back as he walked faster and faster.

So she simply went ahead and actually pretended to collapse on the ground.

Xiao Yuchuan did look back this time, seeing through Su Zhenzhu’s act with a look of scorn in his eyes. Such a poor trick, the village girls from Wushan Village had already tried it.

This time he didn’t linger and walked away.

Su Zhenzhu got up from the ground, her face full of frustration, “Brother-in-law really doesn’t understand a woman’s heart!”

Minxiang, the maid sent by Shen Yun to serve the Su Family couple, watched Su Zhenzhu with an air of frustration, thinking to herself that the son-in-law was indeed a true gentleman, and Su Zhenzhu, a lowly village woman, was overreaching.

At the same time, she was also somewhat worried.

The Lady had instructed her to dedicate herself to the young Master at the right moment.

With the young Master’s heart set only on Su Qingyue, she needed to come up with a foolproof plan to complete her task…

Mr. and Mrs. Su Dashui came out of the house, and Su Qin approached Su Zhenzhu, grabbing her ear, “Look at you, Su Zhenzhu, even trying to seduce your brother-in-law!”

“Auntie, I didn’t…”

“Still arguing? Your crafty eyes kept winking at your brother-in-law; do you take your aunt for blind? You were about to invite a man into your room for a drink, in case someone saw, wouldn’t your reputation be completely ruined? Who would marry you then?”

Mr. Su Dashui pushed away Mrs. Su’s hand, “Why grab so hard? I have just this one niece, and Zhenzhu doesn’t have such schemes. Letting Xiao Yuchuan into the house for a drink, she simply saw him as an elder brother.”

Seeing her uncle defend her like that, Su Zhenzhu suddenly knelt down, “Uncle, I won’t hide it from you, I… I really have fallen for my cousin’s husband, please grant me this wish!”

Su Qin laughed behind her embroidered handkerchief, “Oh, fallen for him, have you? How many times have you even met Xiao Yuchuan? Though my son-in-law is quite handsome, it’s not like he’s handsome enough to defy heaven. I think what you’re really in love with is his family’s money and power.”

Su Zhenzhu, struck at the heart of her intentions, still wouldn’t admit it, “What I like is the person my cousin’s husband is. Auntie, think about it, I’ve always been obedient to you and uncle, you’re even dearer to me than my biological parents. With cousin’s husband’s background, even Lady Xiao has said that he’s bound to not just have a single wife and concubine. One more of me makes no difference, and one less of me doesn’t either. If I ended up with cousin’s husband, it would be different for you two. Whatever you like, whatever you want, Zhenzhu will find a way to get it for you.”

“This…” Su Qin hesitated.

Su Zhenzhu pressed on, “Auntie, see, my cousin doesn’t even acknowledge you, but I’ve always listened to you. And besides, even if my cousin acknowledges you in the future, if I serve our brother-in-law along with my cousin, we sisters will be able to look out for each other in the Xiao Family.”
