Su Jing He’s face sank. Angry, he asked unpleasantly: “What do you mean by this? Why? Are you afraid our Su family will force you to marry Xin’er? You can rest assured, if you are not willing to marry, I am not willing for her to marry you! I won’t marry my sister to someone who doesn’t have her in their heart!”

Fang Qing frowned and tugged at his sleeve, saying softly: “Why are you speaking so roughly? I think Min Zhi has a good idea, there really should be someone overseeing things at Xiuyuan! It’s not too far away, so it’s not hard to send someone over to Min Zhi if something happens.”

Embarrassed by Su Jing He’s shouting, Cui Shao Xi nodded and hurriedly smiled: “Cousin, let me go! I really don’t mean anything else.”

Su Jing He had always listened to his wife’s words and now that she had spoken, he really couldn’t say anything else. He glared at Cui Shao Xi and snorted, rudely expressing his dissatisfaction.

Cui Shao Xi touched his nose, feeling depressed: He wants to protect his sister but could he also think about his cousin!

“Cousin, cousin-in-law, I am going now!” Cui Shao Xi bowed his hands vaguely.

Su Jing He huffed and ignored him but Fang Qing smiled and directed Li Ma to see him out. She laughed softly” Xiuyuan is in a mess, be sure to pay attention and take care of yourself! If you need anything, talk to your cousin!”

Cui Shao Xi felt like a spring breeze had blown through his heart, wiping away the depression. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and show a big smile. “Alright! If I need help from my cousin, I won’t be polite!”

“Hmph!” Su Jing He grunted again, his face dark.

His cousin smiled, rolled his eyes, and said goodbye to Fang Qing, all while thinking: “Such a good cabbage!”

“That kid is really too much! Is my family’s Xin’er really so unbearable! He just hides whenever he sees her and now he won’t even live in our house! This is really unbearable!” Su Jing He was indignant. Angrily, he added: “You want to give him a good face but I say we should just beat it with a stick!”

Fang Qing glared at him: “I didn’t stop you from beating him with a stick, why are you complaining to me?”

Wasn’t this the point?

Su Jing He choked. Annoyed, he said: “What’s wrong with Xin’er!”

His wife sighed softly. “There is nothing wrong, only suitable and unsuitable, like or not like. Min Zhi doesn’t like her, so it’s useless! As an elder brother, no matter how anxious you are, there is no point in getting angry! And even though both of them are fine, it seems to me that this match is not good. Both of them grew up spoiled in their families with the same stubborn, self-willed, no-tolerance personalities. Neither will be willing to accommodate the other. If there really was a marriage, it would only end in a grudge! Min Zhi moving out, it’s okay! I hope Xin’er will forget him slowly.”

After thinking about it, Su Jing He also felt that his wife was right. Frustrated, he said: “This dead girl always sticks to the end! What on earth is she thinking? People don’t want her but she is still begging for nothing!”

Fang Qing glanced at him lightly but did not saying anything. She was still thinking about what Cui Shao Xi had said.

After a while, Shuang Ling came in and reported: “Young Master, Young Madam, The young lady is back!”

Su Jing He immediately put down his complaints: “Where is she? Call her over to me!”

Shuang Ling glanced at Fang Qing, embarrassed, and said: “Young Master, the young lady… she said she was a little tired and wanted to rest, she didn’t want anyone to disturb—”

“What did you say!?”  Su Jing He’s eyes widened.

“Leave.” Fang Qing waved the maid away.

Shuang Ling hurriedly bowed and retired with a ‘yes’.

Su Jing He stood up abruptly and started to pace around the room. Rubbing his hands, he said angrily: “It looks like something major has happened! This time, something really has happened!”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine as long as she has come back!” Fang Qing got up and wrapped an arm around him, softly persuading him.

With Xin’er’s temper, she often hit a wall with Cui Shao Xi. Su Jing He had never needed to send someone to call her, she would always take the initiative to run to him, complaining and crying for comfort. This was the first time she had been wronged by Cui Shao Xi but instead of coming to complain, she had gone to her room and told them not to disturb her!

Didn’t this mean that something serious had happened?

“Let’s go and take a look!” Fang Qing suggested.

Su Jing He hesitated. His sister said she was tired and didn’t want to be disturbed. He couldn’t bear to upset her but he knew his wife was not someone who didn’t understand urgency. If she said to go, it was best to go!

“Alright!” He said and the two went together to Su Xin’er’s yard without telling anyone.

Where would Xin’er have the interest in resting? The girl stood in front of the window, staring at the pomegranate tree outside with a dazed expression, as if her soul had left her body.

Su Jing He was both furious and concerned when he saw this. If it wasn’t for Fang Qing pulling at his arm, he would have thrown a fit immediately.

“Xin’er?” Fang Qing called softly.

Su Xin’er was motionless, her soul wandering around the sky. She hadn’t returned to her senses yet.

Ju Xiang and Ju Li were both pale. Ju Xiang wanted to open her mouth and call out to her but Fang Qing winked and sent her away.

Stepping forward, Fang Qing patted Su Xin’er’s shoulder lightly and said with a smile” “Xin’er, what are you thinking about so deeply?”

Startled, Xin’er hurried turned her head around. Seeing Fang Qing and Su Jing He, she turned her face back to the window and said dully: “Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?”

“You’re really not embarrassed to say this!? We—” Su Jing He was breathless with anger when he saw her like this.

“We’ve come to see you!” Fang Qing smoothly interrupted Su Jing He’s words and sat down beside Xin’er. She saw that the other girl still had tears on her face, her eyes were swollen and red, and her hair was messy. Her face looked like a peach! Fang Qing couldn’t help sighing: “Xin’er, why are you acting like this?”

‘Why are you acting like this’? Ju Li had also asked this but Ju Li was only a servant girl and her tone was different from Fang Qing’s. To Su Xin’er’s ears, this was what she was looking for!

Suddenly overwhelmed with feelings of great grievance and sorrow, she wailed and threw herself in Fang Qing’s arms with earth-shattering cries. Her brother stared at her in shock!

By the time Su Xin’er finally stopped crying and choking, Su Jing He has almost gone mad.

After a while, Fang Qing was finally able to persuade her into telling them what had happened that day.

Nose sore and almost back in tears, Xu Xin’er complained intermittently.

Listening to her, Su Jing He frowned: “Not one or two days go by before you and Min Zhi are making a fuss! You’ve caused so much trouble! What’s the matter with Cousin Fang Zhou? Why did you go and involve others again?”

Su Xin’er glared at Fang Qing unwillingly, her mouth flat: “If not for her, my cousin would not have rejected me like this! Eventually, I would have convinced him!”

“What a joke!” Su Jing He was furious: “Do you know what you are saying? Min Zhi and Fang Zhou?! What kind of nonsense are you spouting!”
