He was just trying to do his duty by taking care of her. Yet, Su Wen had chased him away, taking what was left of his responsibilities with her.
How did things come to this?
Zhou Hengyang reined in his wandering thoughts and said, “You’re not going in unthinkingly this time; I’ve checked. I think He Changming is a good person. He’ll make a good partner.”
Su Wen gritted her teeth, smiling with jagged teeth. “Thank you!” Su Wen snarked sarcastically, “I’m so glad you bothered to vet him for me.” Of course, she had good taste! Who did he think she was? The original Su Wen?
“But do you know his true motive for helping you?”
Su Wen bit back her retort, her expression changing. “What motive?” She had noticed something wrong with He Changming but could not put her finger on it. Those feelings grew as he showed up at their doorstep as a guest. He was so different from the first time she had met him in the county market.
The He Changming she had met was feral and difficult to approach.
Seeing her expression change, Zhou Hengyang knew his words had caused a misunderstanding. He gently poked her cheek and said softly, “I think he has taken a fancy to Third Sister. Sooner or later, she’ll fall for him so hard she won’t escape his web.”
With He Changming’s methods, Su Xiu would certainly capitulate. It was only a matter of time.
“No wonder Su Xiu hid in her room and won’t come out.” Su Wen harrumphed. “My sister isn’t an object. No one should have any thoughts about her without going through me!”
No wonder he was so attentive. Only a thief or a traitor would be so considerate.
Although He Changming was not bad and had a good impression of him from the novel, she would not casually hand her sister’s hand in marriage. No matter how capable he was, he had to have genuine affection for Su Xiu and promise to treat her well.
Zhou Hengyang smiled deviously and encouraged, “Good luck.” Although He Changming’s target was Su Xiu, he had to be taught a lesson for trying to get close to Su Wen.
Meanwhile, He Changming was cleaning the rabbit. When he finished, he put it in a clean bamboo basket.
Little Sister Su skipped over and offered him soap to wash his hands. “Here.”
“Thank you.” He Changming smiled brightly and did his best to sound easygoing. “Can I call you little sister?”
Little Sister Sul s eyes narrowed at He Changming suspiciously as she mulled over his words. “Everyone calls me Little Sister Su. You can call me by my name.” Calling her little sister sounded like he was trying to take advantage of her. She was not his younger sister, no matter what he said.
He Changming was speechless.
Little Sister Su was pretty smart, wasn’t she? She had not even started school, yet she already knew to be so discerning.
“Alright. I’ll call you Little Sister Su.”
“You’re welcome.” She had snuck into the kitchen a while ago and snagged a piece of stewed pheasant. It was delicious! Little Sister Su gave him a chance because he had given them the pheasant.
Sixth Sister watched the interaction. Occasionally, she would reveal a thoughtful, perhaps even puzzled, expression. After a while, she turned to stare at her eldest sister’s room, wondering what she and her brother-in-law were up to.
“Are you a friend of our family now?” Little Sister Su tilted her head and asked what was on her mind.
“I don’t see why not.”
Without waiting for her younger sister to respond, Sixth Sister said, “We’re not related by blood or marriage.”
He Changming realized the thorny path extending before him. Su Wen, her future sister-in-law, was as unyielding as three mountains, while Zhou Hengyang, his future brother-in-law, was as wily as a fox and twice as
vengeful and petty. What was he supposed to do it he had to deal with these two younger sisters if they were already so shrewd despite their age?
Sixth Sister was obviously trying to put some distance between them! “How old are you?” A question like that should be innocent enough, shouldn’t
“I’m eight years old.” Sixth Sister’s smile resembled a blooming tulip as she pointed at Little Sister Su. “Don’t treat me like a fool. Unlike Little Sister Su, I’m not so easily deceived. I’ve met plenty of bad people, and they all sound like you..”
