The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 491 - 491 Doubt

491 Doubt

Shen Yijia thought that with Xiao Ruoshui’s personality, she would immediately make a fuss about killing her way to Anyang County or breaking off the engagement.

Unexpectedly, after being stunned for a few seconds, she pulled off the green hat on her head and waved her hand indifferently. “It’s just a foster sister. Is it worth you beating around the bush?”

This time, it was Shen Yijia’s turn to be surprised. She clicked her tongue. “I didn’t expect you to be so magnanimous.”

Previously, who was the one who pulled her along and said that she wanted to be with someone for the rest of her life? Who was the one who said that she had to marry someone who only cared about her?

!!

“I knew about this long ago.” Xiao Ruoshui knew that Shen Yijia had misunderstood. She rolled her eyes and explained, “After Brother Yuan’s accident, he immediately wrote me a letter. He said that that woman ruined her reputation because she saved him. He had no choice but to take her in as his adopted sister. In the future, he’ll introduce her to a good marriage. It’s just a matter of taking responsibility.”

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and stopped talking.

“But what do you mean by intimate behavior?” Xiao Ruoshui finally caught the main point.

Shen Yijia explained what she saw without adding any embellishments. She was only in charge of reminding Xiao Ruoshui and did not want to interfere with her judgment.

The expression on Xiao Ruoshui’s face became solemn. In the end, she said, “I believe Brother Yuan. With an unmarried wife like me, he definitely won’t fancy anyone else.”

Shen Yijia did not know where her confidence came from. She wanted to say, “Even if you believe Fan Mingyuan, do you believe that woman?”

He was a young county magistrate and was not bad-looking. It was difficult for women to not be tempted, right?

Wasn’t there a saying that went, “You’re not afraid of thieves, but you’re afraid of thieves thinking about you?”

However, in the end, she did not say anything. Xiao Ruoshui was not the kind of person who would let herself suffer.

Shen Yijia was right. Xiao Ruoshui looked confident in front of her and did not care at all. As soon as she returned home, she wrote three pages of letters to Fan Mingyuan.

The main point was that he had to marry that woman off before the wedding. If there was nothing in Anyang County, he would send that woman to the capital. His father had many single soldiers under him. He did not believe that there was no suitable one.

If this didn’t work, she wouldn’t get married. She would let Fan Mingyuan live with her sister.

It was simple and direct!

If she had to fight and scheme in the backyard all day after getting married like other women, she would rather be a sister-in-law for the rest of her life than get married.

When Fan Mingyuan received the letter, he was on his way to the capital.

Along with him was One Dot and the others, who had been recuperating in Xiagou Village.

After reading the letter, Fan Mingyuan laughed helplessly. Then, he thought of something and his expression turned ugly.

On the other hand, after Brother Hao accepted the heavy responsibility that Shen Yijia had given him to buy the book from Wang Mingan, he had never found a suitable opportunity to tell him about this.

The first day was because there was a test at the academy, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to disturb Wang Mingan during break time. In the afternoon, he left early again.

The next day, Wang Mingan didn’t come to the academy. Looking at the empty seat beside him, Brother Hao had already decided to look for him at Wang Mingan’s house during lunch break.

Unexpectedly, Wang Mingan appeared.

“Where have you been these past two days?” Brother Hao asked Wang Mingan.

Wang Mingan took out his book without looking up. Brother Hao thought that he would ignore him, but he heard him say, “Something happened at home, so I took two days off.”

After Xuanyuan Ce left that day, Madam Wang was in a daze. She kept kowtowing to Miss Wang’s memorial tablet.

Worried that something would happen to her, Wang Mingan applied for leave to accompany her at home. He originally had an extra day off, but Madam Wang insisted that he come.

Brother Hao was a little flattered and asked with concern, “What happened? Do you need my help?”

He could help fight. If he couldn’t win, he could call his sister-in-law.

Only then did Wang Mingan look up. The young man in front of him was a few years younger than him. He was the youngest student in this class and the only one who wouldn’t look down on him. Moreover, no matter how cold he looked at him, this person didn’t seem to care.

Actually, the reason why he was unwilling to pay attention to him was more or less because he wanted to vent his anger.

He knew who Song Jinghao was, and because of Madam Wang, he also knew that Second Miss Shen was married to Song Jinghao’s elder brother.

It didn’t matter if he was ungrateful or an ingrate, after experiencing being bullied since he was young, he couldn’t help but resent him.

He hated the Shen family and also blamed Miss Wang, who had saved the mother and son. Especially Madam Wang’s actions, which made him feel that she only had Miss Wang and her daughter in her heart and did not care about him at all.

With Xuanyuan Ce’s appearance and Madam Wang’s choice, he had changed his mind.

Wang Mingan pursed his lips and shook his head. “It’s fine now.”

The conversation died just like that.

Brother Hao scratched his head. “That’s good.”

“Yes.”

Wang Mingan began to read.

Brother Hao stood still.

With someone standing in front of him and staring at him, Wang Mingan couldn’t ignore him even if he wanted to. He closed the book and asked, “What else do you want?”

Brother Hao heaved a sigh of relief and looked around. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, “Are you writing a novel?”

Although many people read novels, they were not proper books.

He couldn’t even read the book openly, let alone write it. If others found out, he would definitely be scolded for being frivolous.

If it was more serious, he would be reported and even punished by the academy.

Wang Mingan’s pupils constricted, but he quickly calmed himself down. He lowered his head and denied, “No.”

Brother Hao saw his reaction and already had a guess. He quickly explained, “I’m not reporting you. I want to cooperate with you.”

Wang Mingan turned a page in his book. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Clearly, his friendship with Brother Hao did not make him trust him.

Brother Hao was a little dejected. If it were anything else, he wouldn’t have forced Wang Mingan. However, this was what Shen Yijia had instructed him to do, and it was the only thing he could do. He couldn’t let down his sister-in-law’s trust.

He thought for a moment and whispered two names in Wang Mingan’s ear.

...

Wang Mingan clenched his fists and glared at Brother Hao. “What exactly do you want to do?”

Brother Hao was talking about the name of the protagonist in the book he had written just now. The book disappeared before he could send it to the bookstore.

Therefore, if he hadn’t seen the original manuscript, she wouldn’t have known. Moreover, his handwriting was on the original manuscript.

Brother Hao frowned. “Didn’t I say that I just want to work with you?”

Wang Mingan sneered. “You stole my things first, and now you want to cooperate with me?”

Brother Hao was about to explode in anger. If not for the fact that he was afraid that things would blow up and harm Wang Mingan, he really wanted to punch his head and see what was inside.

He took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart and continued to control his voice. “Don’t malign me. My sister-in-law picked it up when you were being bullied.”

“To think that my sister-in-law saved you,” Brother Hao muttered indignantly.

“Your sister-in-law?” Wang Mingan was stunned. He thought of the woman who had suddenly appeared to help him when he was blocked in the alley twice.

So it was Second Miss Shen who saved him twice?

Brother Hao snorted. “Think about it carefully. In the alley in the south of the city, did someone save you? That’s my sister-in-law.”
