The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 402: 402 Heartache 1



Su Qingyue had actually deftly activated his acupuncture point again, but she wasn’t going to admit it.

In the silent night, only Xiao Yuchuan’s unsatisfied voice echoed from time to time.

In a corner of the room, the little pet occasionally lifted its fuzzy eyelids, as a well-behaved pet, it only required its owner to be free from harm.

In the master bedroom, Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe couldn’t sleep. Both were staring at the ceiling, quietly waiting for something.

After a while, Xiao Qinghe couldn’t help but ask, “Second Brother, why hasn’t third brother been kicked out by the wife yet?”

Xiao Yishan’s face appeared increasingly sullen, “No idea what the Third one is up to…”

“Second Brother…” he sounded somewhat reluctant, “We can’t let Third Brother stay overnight in my wife’s room.”

“I’ll drag him out!” Xiao Yishan, with his robust figure, was about to stand up.

Xiao Qinghe advised, “The wife won’t let you get off the bed. She scolded you during dinner. If you wander off the bed and aggravate your leg injury, it would trouble her to dress your wound again.”

“Third Brother hasn’t come back to the room yet…” Xiao Yishan didn’t want his wife to suffer any more. His voice didn’t betray any feelings, but the anxiety in his eyes could not be disguised.

When Xiao Qinghe thought that his wife might have…with the third brother… His heart ached unbearably. The pain, which occurred from time to time,

started again. “Second Brother, call my wife over. Just say…l can’t bear the pain anymore.”

Normally, he would endure to the death.

He had long been numb to physical pain.

Now…he was being self-centered.

He really didn’t want Qingyue to truly become Third Brother’s woman.

Even if he was not her partner, just being around to take care of her was enough.

As soon as Xiao Yishan heard Fourth Brother say this, he immediately called out, ‘Yue’er!”

His chilly voice was particularly penetrative in the quiet night.

It was clearly heard in the secondary bedroom.

In the secondary bedroom, Xiao Yuchuan lay motionless, listening to the steady breathing of his wife from the other side of the bed. He didn’t dare to disturb her, just wanted to move his body and sleep beside her.

However, his whole body was paralyzed without strength.

Su Qingyue, who was originally asleep, opened her eyes immediately upon hearing Second Brother’s voice.

She quickly sat up and went to the master bedroom. Pushing open the half-closed door, she asked anxiously, “Second Brother, what’s the matter?”

Seeing her arrive so quickly, dressed neatly in her outer garment, clearly indicating she hadn’t ‘done anything’ with Chuanzi, the two men couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s me…” Xiao Qinghe’s voice, with its painful restraint, “My…l’m having a seizure.”

The pain of his broken body was nothing. The pain of fearing to lose her was almost suffocating.

“Yue’er, I’m sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night.” Xiao Yishan’s rugged face showed guilt, not pretending, “Fourth Brother couldn’t bear the pain and I could think of no other way but you.”

“We are family, feel free to call me anytime, no need for such formalities.” Seeing the handsome face of the Fourth Brother covered by cold sweat due to the pain, she immediately reached out to check his pulse.

The moment her hand touched his pulse, his wrist trembled with fear that she’ll find out that his current pain wasn’t as severe and that he had tricked her to rush over.

He indeed had a seizure, and Su Qingyue didn’t suspect anything, “Fourth Brother, I have administered acupuncture for you today. I can only do it once a day. Try to bear with the pain. I’ll fetch a basin of water to wipe your sweat.”

“Hmm.” He nodded lightly..
