Chapter 198

Without waiting for He Yunxiao to speak, Jiang Wuyou was the first to speak up. Her tone was even more severe than when she had just admonished Jiang Chenyue. "Jiang Chenyue! No more fooling around!" Facing Jiang Wuyou's angry gaze, Jiang Chenyue retorted, "Sister, don't you understand? He redeemed your body, but didn't give you a status. He just bought a warm bedmaid with money. Sister, you've never liked being subordinate. Why should we care about others' opinions in the Hou Mansion? We can give up on any man and live a secluded life together." Jiang Wuyou reached out as if to strike, and Jiang Chenyue instinctively dodged, but then stood upright, showing a fearless demeanor. Jiang Wuyou's eyes reddened, her hand suspended in the air, unable to bring herself to do it. Jiang Wuyou's fair palm hung in the air for a moment, then turned into a pointed finger, pointing to a red carved wooden door behind Jiang Chenyue. "Get out," Jiang Wuyou said. "No, I won't!" Jiang Chenyue had never been this defiant. Jiang Wuyou was infuriated by her "rebellious" sister. Before, whenever she showed signs of anger, this girl would know not to push further and would stop. But today, for some reason, no matter how angry she got, she didn't plan to calm down. It's as if she sincerely wanted to infuriate herself to death. "Get out," Jiang Wuyou repeated. Jiang Chenyue, who had been standing, now sat with crossed arms, her little face slightly turned away. "I won't leave. I don't agree to this redemption. Sister, you can't go to the Hou Mansion." Jiang Wuyou made a threatening gesture, but Jiang Chenyue, with her experience, was unafraid. Defiantly, "Sister, even if you hit me, I won't agree!" Gritting her teeth, Jiang Wuyou said, "So you won't agree!" Seeing Jiang Wuyou take a few steps forward, He Yunxiao quietly approached, like a leopard hunting. Seeing Jiang Wuyou's lack of reaction, she suddenly pounced on her sister, grabbing her sister's soft waist with both hands and teasing her, making her wave her hands and laugh heartily. "Haha, spare me, sister! Ha-ha, spare me, please!" "Do you agree?" "Haha, no, I don't!" The two sisters played for a while until Jiang Chenyue laughed until she was exhausted, her face red and her head spinning, resting on Jiang Wuyou's shoulder, grinning from time to time. Jiang Wuyou held the girl, patting her back lightly to soothe her. "Chenyue, rest assured, Yunxiao will treat me well." He Yunxiao, seeing his sister-in-law playing with her little sister, couldn't help but marvel. Jiang Wuyou seemed to know her younger sister very well. Even though they were of similar height, it was clear that Jiang Chenyue was no match for her sister in a play fight, showing no ability to resist. When Jiang Wuyou could grab her sister's soft waist, she did so, and when she couldn't, she tickled her chin, tickled her palms. Her choice of tactics was very flexible. He Yunxiao watched the disobedient sister go from "I won't agree even if I'm beaten" to "Sister, spare me" to "Please, spare me" and finally to "Chenyue agrees, Chenuye won't make trouble." The two sisters played for a while until Jiang Chenyue laughed herself out, her cheeks flushed, her head dizzy, and she leaned on Jiang Wuyou's shoulder, occasionally giggling. Jiang Wuyou held the sitting Jiang Chenyue, patting her back lightly to ease her off. "Chenyue, hand your sister over to me," He Yunxiao said, squatting behind the sisters, facing Jiang Chenyue. Jiang Chenyue, still weak, raised her eyelids and gazed at He Yunxiao. "You're dreaming." Jiang Wuyou, who had been patting her sister's back, seized the opportunity to lightly tap her sister's buttocks. Not too hard. "Chenyue, a promise is a promise," she said, rarely sounding reproachful and instead coming off as gentle. Jiang Chenyue resisted, "Sister, you sided with him against me. He just watched, and even... " This time, it was He Yunxiao who spoke first. "Chenyue, I've made up my mind. I, He Yunxiao, am willing to marry your sister, Jiang Wuyou, as my lawful wife." Jiang Chenyue's eyes widened slowly. "Really?" Her tone held disbelief. He Yunxiao nodded, "Yes." "Yunxiao!" Jiang Wuyou, unable to turn with Jiang Chenyue in her embrace, had to speak to He Yunxiao while facing away. "Yunxiao, ignore what Chenyue says. You're the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion, and I am..." He Yunxiao interrupted her, "Sister, please stop." He reached out to tidy up Jiang Wuyou's scattered hair and sighed, "Sister's kindness to me these days, He Yunxiao understands. If sister is willing to redeem herself for me at the Hou Mansion, He Yunxiao also understands. If I want to marry sister, it's to make her happy, not to make her suffer. If having a lawful wife will make sister happy, then that's what she'll have." Jiang Wuyou patted Jiang Chenyue, signaling her to sit down, then turned to face He Yunxiao. "Yunxiao, you don't understand. In the Qi Kingdom, people like us are not respectable." "I don't care," He Yunxiao said. "Even if you don't care, others do. The old Marquis will care. The nobles of the Hou Mansion will care. Even the Prince will care. How will they view you? How will they view the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion if you marry me as your lawful wife?" He Yunxiao took Jiang Wuyou's slender hand in his, "I don't care, as long as you don't." "I do care!" Jiang Wuyou said with a pout. "I do care how they see you!" Jiang Chenyue watched in a daze, patted her belly, and burped. This was too much sweetness in one go. Grateful for He Yunxiao's intentions, Jiang Wuyou couldn't help but smile at his response. "It's all for the best if you have this in mind." Chapter 199: Dealing with the Difficult Little Sister Tl. Soothsayer.io
