271: Chapter 200: Double-dealing_2 271: Chapter 200: Double-dealing_2 “Enough, I don’t want to say anymore. Do you really think everyone else is deaf and blind, that whatever you say goes? Jiang Xue, I’m warning you, this is the last time. If I catch you distorting the truth again, don’t blame me for not being polite.” “Moreover, if I hear about you going to see my brother-in-law alone again, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. If you don’t believe me, just try!” “Second sister...” Jiang Xue’s face turned bright red, “It seems you and Xiangping have a big misunderstanding about me. If it weren’t for what you just said, I wouldn’t even know that you and Xiangping thought of me this way. Forget it, today is Third Brother’s big day, so I won’t say more now. Later, let’s sit down together and talk this out properly. I’m really not like what you imagine, there are reasons, really.” Zhou Jiping waved her hand to dismiss her: “Real or not, let’s just leave it at that for today.” “Alright then.” Jiang Xue looked towards Chuxia, “Third sister-in-law, in our local custom, only unmarried girls can help the bride chase away those who tease the bridal chamber. Originally, I wanted to help Third Brother and third sister-in-law fend them off, but it looks like...” She glanced at Zhou Xiangping and Zhou Jixiang’s faces and let out a regretful sigh, “it seems that’s not possible.” “Second sister and fourth sister will figure something out for me.” Chuxia replied indifferently, giving her a soft rebuttal. Jiang Xue, seemingly carefree, actually harbored gloomy intentions. Her words were clearly meant to stir trouble between Chuxia and Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping. At this moment, Chuxia felt that Zhou Xikang and Zhou Mikang probably had a better relationship with Jiang Xue, perhaps because of her way of handling things. “Third sister-in-law, I’ve always been on your side.” After Jiang Xue left the room, Zhou Xiangping hugged Chuxia and swayed, her face full of joy. Zhou Jiping just glared at her: “You still have the face to say that, after all these years, you still haven’t sorted it out!” Zhou Xiangping appeared indifferent: “Anyway, Liao Hui doesn’t like her, she can jump around all she wants, as long as she doesn’t do it in front of me, I couldn’t care less.” “If you really didn’t mind, would you act like that? I’m your sister; Chuxia is your sister-in-law, Xiaoqiong and Chuxia are close too, not outsiders...” Zhou Jiping stared intensely at Zhou Xiangping for a while, then continued, “In front of us, just speak the truth, is it that hard?” After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiangping smiled openly: “Alright, I admit, when I heard she went to see Liao Hui, I felt uncomfortable, and I even made a fuss with Liao Hui, but to argue with her like a shrew, I can’t do that.” “What does Liao Hui say when you make a fuss?” “He just tells me I’m overthinking, saying he has no feelings for Jiang Xue, just that they grew up together, and when she reached out, it was hard to refuse.” “If I were you, I would directly ask, when you see her, can you first consider your wife’s feelings? If you can consider an outsider’s feelings, why not your wife’s?” “I...” Zhou Xiangping scratched her head, “Right, I’ll say that next time.” Zhou Jiping: “...” She didn’t know what to say about her own confused sister anymore. Seeing Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong giggling, Zhou Xiangping glared at them: “You should take me as a warning, if any girl harbors malintent towards your husband, you should firmly nip it in the bud!” Zhou Jiping rolled her eyes at her: “You’d better not curse your third sister-in-law and Luo Xiaoqiong. Which woman would want to be involved in such a matter? On a joyful day, say something nice, and don’t talk about useless things here.” “May the third brother and third sister-in-law be sweet for a lifetime, may they be happy for a lifetime, may they have a precious child soon, third brother and third sister-in-law...” “That’s enough, that’s enough...” Zhou Jiping quickly interrupted her, “Can’t you be more serious? You are several years older than your third sister-in-law. Look at you, then look at her. Do you have the nerve to say how old you are?” “Different personalities, can’t compare...” Zhou Xiangping said as she pulled Luo Xiaoqiong to her side, “If we were to compare, I’d only compare myself with Xiaoqiong.” Luo Xiaoqiong looked at her earnestly: “I am much more mature than you.” Zhou Xiangping: “...” “Hahaha...” Zhou Jiping laughed heartily, a rare moment of joy, “Serves you right!” “What’s making you so happy?” Lin Yanqiu entered, heading straight to sit beside Chuxia, “In our family tradition, we eat dinner with those who tease the bridal chamber. I guess those rascals won’t let you eat comfortably later. How about we eat something now to fill up?” “Mom, no need...” Chuxia said as she pointed at the table full of snacks and pastries, “With so much food here, how could I be hungry?” “What’s the point of that? I had Nanny Li stew some yam and lamb ribs for you. That’s the best food for a girl...” While they talked, Nanny Li came in with an exquisite small porcelain basin, placed it on the table, and scooped a small bowl for Chuxia, smiling as she said, “Third Young Lady, this has been stewed for three hours, it’s completely tender. See if it suits your taste?” Being called the Third Young Lady, Chuxia was somewhat surprised. In this era, who dares to address her like that? However, she just thought about it without asking anything aloud. Obediently, she took a spoon and tasted it, nodding repeatedly: “It’s delicious, the flavor is really good!” “As long as it suits your taste. Mom has to go down and attend to the guests now. Second brother, fourth sister, I’ll leave her to you.” Lin Yanqiu said as she stood up and hurriedly walked out. Zhou Xiangping pouted, “Third sister-in-law, now that you’re in, we all have to step aside. Mom is too partial. When has she ever cared so much for me and second sister?” Though it sounded like she was jealous, in reality, she was comforting her. Chuxia gratefully smiled at Zhou Xiangping, inviting everyone to start eating together. How could the food here compare to that of the wedding banquet? Soon after they finished eating, the people who came to tease the bridal chamber arrived with a table. Just as Lin Yanqiu had expected, the mischievous group, composed of Zhou Mikang’s cousins and friends, definitely wouldn’t let the bride and groom eat comfortably. Usually suppressed by Zhou Mikang, how could they miss this opportunity? Unfortunately, was Zhou Mikang’s advantage that easy to gain? Especially when he entered the room and saw his charming and alluring young wife’s anxious little face, he decided right then, those people would definitely face a harsh suppression!
