Chapter 348 Jealousy
Chapter 348 Jealousy
"I didn't feel sorry for him. I was just thinking that he is Chenchen and Yangyang's father after all. If he were really seriously injured, the children would be heartbroken," Qu Yin explained somewhat awkwardly.
Xiao Siyue teased, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right."
"You little brat, you're making fun of me." Qu Yin grabbed Xiao Siyue and was about to tickle her armpits, which scared Xiao Siyue so much that she quickly ran away.
The room was filled with laughter, and the maids outside also smiled when they heard it; the previously oppressive atmosphere had finally dissipated.
After Xiao Siqi was able to get out of bed, he started running to Qu Yin every day to fawn over her, shamelessly trying to win her forgiveness.
However, it has been very effective. From not being able to even enter the yard at the beginning, to being able to enter the room, and now being able to move back in, it can be said that there has been great progress, and the two will reconcile soon.
The elders of the Xiao family were all very pleased to see this, and they all hoped that the young couple would live a good life together.
While things were peaceful and lively on Xiao Siqi's side after the storm, it was tough on Xiao Siyue. She had to learn etiquette and rules every day, and even though she did quite well, she still had to do what she was supposed to do.
In her mother's words, you have to memorize all of these things so that you can do them without having to do them.
Xiao Siyue was filled with resentment; when would this miserable life ever end?
-
Xu Rong, now in her own courtyard, was really anxious. She had been at the Xiao family residence for some time, but she had not only failed to gain the approval of the Xiao family, but she also could not even see Xiao Siqi. When would she be able to become the eldest young mistress of the Xiao family?
And then there's the news that Xiao Siqi and Qu Yin have actually reconciled. Qu Yin had clearly stopped seeing Xiao Siqi before, and she looked like she was about to die. What exactly happened?
That's absolutely unacceptable. She went to great lengths to cooperate with that older brother who always bullied her, and even became his concubine, just to get close to Xiao Siqi. How could she let all her efforts go to waste?
She had given up everything and absolutely could not fail. The position of the young mistress of the family had to be hers. Xu Rong's eyes were filled with malice and ruthlessness.
Since there are people blocking our way, let's get rid of them. Qu Yin, don't blame me. I just want to live a better life. Besides, how can a peasant girl like you be the eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family?
However, we cannot rush things. It is not the right time yet. She has not yet gained a foothold in the Xiao family. We cannot act rashly.
The most important thing now is to win Xiao Siqi's heart and drive a wedge between her and Qu Yin.
And then there's Xiao Siyue, the only eldest daughter of the Xiao family. She could tell that Xiao Siyue held a very high position in the Xiao household. If Xiao Siyue could stand on her side, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Xiao Siyue had no idea that Aunt Xu still cared about her.
Xu Rong made a plan and went to find Xiao Siqi again, but Xiao Siqi had been staying at Qu Yin's place all this time, so she couldn't see him at all.
Xu Rong stared at the gate to the courtyard, her teeth itching with anger.
"Let's go, take me to find the young lady."
The maid assigned to Xu Rong was quite helpless upon hearing this. What did this Aunt Xu want with the young lady? The young lady was very busy.
"Why haven't you brought Lu yet?" Aunt Xu asked impatiently, looking at the unmoved maid.
“Aunt Xu, the eldest young lady is currently learning etiquette, and Madam has instructed that no one should disturb her easily.”
"Just lead the way, you don't need to worry about anything else." In Xu Rong's mind, she was Xiao Siyue's sister-in-law, so seeing Xiao Siyue was no disturbance at all.
"This..." The maid was in a dilemma. She was just a maid, why make things difficult for her?
"Lead the way quickly."
"Yes."
Upon arriving at Xiao Siyue's courtyard, the maidservant sent someone to announce their arrival.
Xiao Siyue, who was practicing her walking posture inside the house, was a little confused when she heard that Aunt Xu wanted to see her: "Aunt Xu wants to see me, what does she want with me? I don't think I know her well."
Lan Yi wasn't quite sure either: "Perhaps Aunt Xu can't see the eldest young master and wants Miss to help her."
"My brother won't see her, but she came to me. Is she alright?" Xiao Siyue scoffed.
However, she was really tired from practicing, so she could take a break and see what Aunt Xu was really up to.
Xiao Siyue said to the nanny sitting in the chair supervising her, "Nanny, someone wants to see me, I..."
The old woman thought that they had indeed practiced for a long time and it was time to rest.
"Okay, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow."
"Oh, then you should rest well, Granny. I'll be going now." Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyue immediately ran out of the room happily.
Smelling the fresh air outside, Xiao Siyue stretched, only to be quickly pulled back by Lan Yi.
"Miss, be careful the old lady doesn't see you."
"Okay, I know." Xiao Siyue pouted, feeling utterly deprived of her freedom.
"Lanyi, let Aunt Xu in."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."
Xu Rong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was getting impatient. She was cursing Xiao Siyue to death in her heart, feeling that Xiao Siyue was definitely trying to intimidate her.
However, in order not to let anyone see it, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.
When Lan Yi came out, she saw Xu Rong standing there the whole time. She was a little surprised, not expecting that Aunt Xu was really quite patient.
Lan Yi bowed slightly to Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, my young lady invites you in."
"Oh, you must be the maidservant by Siyue's side. You're really good. Siyue is really good at training maidservants. I need to learn a lot from Siyue."
Lan Yi rolled her eyes at Xu Rong's words.
Xu Rong entered the courtyard and noticed that Xiao Siyue's courtyard was not only large but also magnificent. She had never seen such a beautiful courtyard before. In April, the courtyard was full of blooming flowers, and schools of small carp swam in the pond, making it look like a fairyland.
Jealousy and greed immediately arose in his heart.
Why is it that, despite being women, she can only live in a small courtyard in the Xu family, sharing it with several sisters, while Xiao Siyue can have such a large courtyard all to herself?
"Siyue's yard is so big and beautiful, just like a fairyland in a picture book. It's really enviable."
Lan Yi proudly raised her head. Of course, her young lady's courtyard was the largest in the entire mansion, and after continuous renovations and improvements over the past two years, it was even more beautiful now.
However, she didn't say anything more; why would she tell a stranger these things?
Seeing that Lan Yi ignored her, Xu Rong thought fiercely to herself that once Lan Yi became the eldest young mistress, she would take over this courtyard. Such a beautiful courtyard deserved to be hers.
Xiao Siyue is a worthless piece of trash; she doesn't deserve to live here.
At this moment, Aunt Xu's jealousy was amplified to an infinite degree, and her heart was already corrupted by greed, to the point that she almost couldn't hold back when she saw Xiao Siyue and almost revealed it.
