The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 979: 979 Qinghe seeks the moon to turn back 1 Chapter 979: 979 Qinghe seeks the moon to turn back 1 In those days, Su Qingyue left all the worries of her marriage to Xiao Yuchuan.

The rituals for getting married were complicated for ancient people, including betrothal, inquiry of the name, auspicious gifts, official engagement, choosing the date…

Xiao Yuchuan had done everything thoroughly.

Even with the matchmaker, he found one from the village, matchmaker Zhao, to serve as the witness.

Of course, this matchmaker Zhao was different from the Wang Meipo who had been sent away days before.

Su Qingyue glanced at Xiao Qinghe’s kitchen once, then continued to research medicine in her own pharmacy.

Qinghe came out of the kitchen and wheeled his chair to the door of the pharmacy, knocking on it.

“Come in, the door isn’t latched.” Su Qingyue’s voice came from inside the pharmacy.

Xiao Qinghe pushed the door and entered, watching Qingyue busily mixing medicines at the long rectangular workbench while he called out in his clear and elegant voice, “Wife…”

Su Qingyue’s back stiffened and she turned around in displeasure, “What did you call me?”

“Wife…” He called out again with certainty.

“Fourth brother.” She looked at him with disappointment, “You shouldn’t call me wife.”

He stared into her moist and lustrous eyes, full of regret, “Wife, I know I was wrong.

I shouldn’t have given up on you.

Come back to me, be my, Xiao Qinghe’s, dear wife!”

“Fourth brother, I have said, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world.”

“The man you chose was originally me.

It shouldn’t have been you marrying third brother, you should have married me!” He said earnestly.

“Some truths are really hurtful when spoken aloud, fourth brother, I don’t want to hurt you.”

“No matter what, you chose me…”

“Can you not dwell on this, please?” she sighed, “The reason I originally chose you is because of your bad legs, unable to walk.

I didn’t want to add a burden to second brother or third brother.”

In other words, she had chosen him out of sympathy!

Xiao Qinghe felt an unbearable pain in his heart, “I’ve known this all along.

I’ve been dwelling on this, and now I realize that without you, I don’t even want to live.

Wife, please come back to me, no matter why you chose me, I won’t dwell on it anymore.

I just want you to be with me!”

“Fourth brother, it’s impossible now.” She shook her head.

“Wife… I beg you, I beg you to come back to me!” He suddenly got excited, he pushed himself up from the wheelchair, wanting to get down, but with a thud, he fell to the floor.

He didn’t care if he had injured himself and started crawling towards her, “Wife, I beg you, whether it’s wronging third brother or not, I can’t stand by and watch you marry another man!”

Tears were streaming down his pale cheeks.

Su Qingyue’s eyes held a trace of pity, and truth be told, she found fourth brother pitiable, “Fourth brother, why put yourself through this?

Acting this way, what will you have your third brother do?”

“I can’t concern myself with that anymore, I will beg third brother to grant us this.

He cares about me so much, he will surely agree…

If he doesn’t, we’ll go somewhere where no one knows us…” Xiao Qinghe was nearly driven mad by the pain and regret of the past several days, and once it erupted, it became uncontrollable.

Su Qingyue helped him up.

“Wife, have you agreed to me?” Xiao Qinghe looked up, his gaze filled with deep hope, ardently looking at her.

She reached out and gently wiped the tears from his handsome face, “Fourth brother, you probably don’t understand me.

The moment I turned around, even without your third brother, it was impossible between us.

Without me, even if you were in agony to death, I, Su Qingyue, would only watch you die.

I won’t look back again.

Do you understand?”

Her voice was as enchanting as the music of the heavens but so very cruel.
