Situ Qianhui was dressed very luxuriously today. She wore exquisite makeup as if she was attending a banquet.

Although she was in her forties, she looked like a woman in her thirties due to her high martial art strength and proper daily maintenance.

“I’m here to see sister-in-law.”

“Madam is inside. I’ll go in and inform her first.”

Female servants turned around and walked in, but Situ Qianhui stopped them. “No need. My Sister-in-law and I are families. We don’t have many rules.”

The two female servants looked at each other, not sure if they should let her in.

Situ Qianhui glanced at the two female servants before walking in.

“Why does Young Miss Qianhui suddenly want to see Madam?”

“I don’t know. Young Miss Qianhui is such a good person, yet she wasted her time for her master.”

“I still feel that Young Miss Qianhui and master are the best matches.”

…

Ling’er saw that Xiao Jiu was sweating profusely from playing, so she prepared some fruits and placed them on the table. She waved at Xiao Jiu and said, “Xiao Jiu, are you tired from playing? Come and rest for a while.”

Just as she finished shouting, she saw an extremely beautiful woman walking over from Bluestone Road. She was dressed luxuriously and had exquisite makeup. One look could tell that she was not an ordinary person.

Situ Qianhui saw the woman standing under the tree. She looked familiar. She took a step forward and stopped in front of her. She began to size up the woman in front of her. She looked about the same age as her, but slightly older than her. She had no makeup on, her face was still slightly pale.

However, she had to admit that this face that had no makeup on was very beautiful. She was old, yet she still carried a little bit of spiritual energy.

She looked very familiar as if she had seen her somewhere before.

After sizing her up, Situ Qianhui smiled and greeted her, “I’m Situ Qianhui. I’ve long heard that Brother Jiu has brought his girlfriend back, so I came to visit you today.”

Ling’er then realized that the Young Miss Qianhui mentioned by the female servants was this person in front of her. She was Ziqing’s childhood sweetheart and fiancée.

“You’re too polite. I’m his wife, not his girlfriend.” Ling’er smiled faintly.

Situ Qianhui looked at Ling’er in surprise. “Is that so? But Brother Jiu didn’t hold a wedding, nor did he hold a press conference to announce the wife of the president. I thought you were Brother Jiu’s girlfriend. Why didn’t he say so earlier? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have misunderstood.”

Ling’er smiled. “A wedding is just a formality. The marriage certificate is recognized by the law. He’s so busy, that he needs time to deal with these things one by one. “Besides, marriage is a matter between two people. The days are spent by two people. Everyone doesn’t need to know.”

Situ Qianhui realized that the woman in front of her seemed weak, but she had a sharp tongue, she laughed. “That’s true, but the ninth brother’s status is different. Many eyes are on him. If he were an ordinary person, he would naturally have the same logic as Sister.”

Ling’er took two steps to the right and sat down on the rattan chair. It was as if she had no bones. On the rattan chair, she looked up at Situ Qianhui and curled her lips. “Don’t call me Sis. I am not close to you.”

Situ Qianhui was a little angry, but when she remembered that she was in brother Jiu’s courtyard, she endured it. “I only called you sis because of brother Jiu. Otherwise, when you walk out of this door, I’m afraid no one will recognize you.”

Ling’er picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. “I don’t know them. Why would I want them to know me?”

Situ Qianhui’s face changed in anger. She didn’t expect this woman to be so thick-skinned. She had underestimated her.

Xiao Jiu ran over and stood beside Ling’er. He looked up at situ Qianhui and asked, “Who’s her, Grandma?”

“Grandma doesn’t know her either. You must be tired from playing. Come, drink some water first.” Ling’er looked at Xiao Jiu’s blushing face, picked up the cup and handed it to him.

Xiao Jiu took the cup and drank two mouthfuls of water obediently, then looked up at Situ Qianhui with an innocent look on his face, he said, “Are you the new female servants? It’s not convenient for you to work by dressing like this. I suggest you dress like the two sisters at the door.”

Ling’er scratched Xiao Jiu’s nose and said, “Naughty.” Then she looked at Situ Qianhui and said, “He’s still a child. He doesn’t understand the difference between female servants and guests. Don’t mind him.”

This was the first time Situ Qianhui was considered a female servant. How could she bear this injustice?

They were all from the countryside and had no experience.

“So you’re a guest.” Xiao Jiu drank two more mouthfuls of water and put the cup back on the table.

“You must be hungry. Eat some snacks and fruits to fill your stomach first. You can have dinner later.” Ling’er picked up the fruit plate and let Xiao Jiu pick it out.

Xiao Jiu picked up a peach. It had been washed clean and could be eaten directly. He took a bite and asked, “When will Grandpa come? He promised in the morning that he would come earlier today.”

Ling’er took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off Xiao Jiu’s forehead. “It should be soon.”

Xiao Jiu took a bite of the peach. There was a lot of sweet juice. He reached out and picked one up and handed it to Ling’er, he said, “Grandma, you should eat it too. Grandpa asked someone to send these over for you to eat. If you don’t eat them, Grandpa’s efforts will be wasted.”

Ling’er took the peach, but she didn’t eat it directly. Instead, she said, “Let’s eat in the afternoon. I can’t eat lunch after eating this. He would say that I ate too little.”

The two of them talked back and forth, completely ignoring Situ Qianhui who was standing at the side. Her expression didn’t look good.

She turned around and left in confusion.

The little boy called her grandma. She had a daughter?

The daughter was Brother Jiu?

It shouldn’t be. If it was Brother Jiu, it was impossible for Brother Jiu not to take him back.

Would it be that the woman was married twice?

When did Brother Jiu’s taste become so bad?

Ling’er and Xiao Jiu turned to look at Situ Qianhui when they saw her leave.

On the way.

Situ Qianhui saw brother Jiu walking over. Her eyes were filled with infatuation. She had waited for so many years. She couldn’t give up so easily.

“Brother Jiu, I went to see my sister-in-law just now and she did not allow me to call her sister-in-law. Did I call her by mistake?”

In front of the man, Situ Qianhui had changed from her previous flamboyance to a gentle and virtuous one. Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of grievance in it.

The man raised his eyes to look at Situ Qianhui. Seeing that she had been wronged, he felt guilty towards her, so he did not say anything harsh. “She likes peace. Don’t disturb her.”

“Brother Jiu, I just want to see what kind of woman you like. She can be compared to our relationship. I don’t have any other intentions.” She lowered her eyes, feeling wronged. Her voice was slightly choked up.

“The engagement was made by Father.” The man paused. “In the end, I let you down. With your current status, you don’t have to worry about getting married.”

“Brother Jiu, I don’t want to get married. I’ve said that I won’t marry anyone other than brother Jiu. Brother Jiu isn’t willing to marry me. I’d rather be single than be with someone I don’t like.”
