Chapter 1484: Chapter 1479: Xiao Yu’s Habit

Su Miaoyan was lying on top of Xiao Yu, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her expression stubborn, looking as if she was ready to confront her mother.

Madam Yin knew well that this was the Xiao family residence, and she couldn’t lay a hand on Su Miaoyan, so she just walked to Xiao Yu’s side, politely saying, “The young Miss is being reckless, disturbing Young Master Xiao, I sincerely ask Young Master Xiao… to let her down, I will take her back to Jiang Du City immediately, and we won’t bother Young Master Xiao anymore.”

Xiao Yu’s hand rested on the wheelchair, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, he remained silent, yet his whole body emitted a tremendous pressure.

Su Miaoyan hugged Xiao Yu tightly, her voice soft but logical as she said, “Mother, I am the Lady of the Xiao family, this is my home, I should not return to Jiang Du City.”

“Nonsense! The divorce document has been written by Young Master Xiao, the government office has already reviewed and archived it, you are no longer married, you’re now a daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, not at home—where else do you wish to go?” Madam Yin rebuked coldly.

Like being scared, Su Miaoyan hugged Xiao Yu even tighter, Xiao Yu subconsciously placed one arm around her waist wanting to comfort her.

But considering the current situation, he refrained from any further movements.

Su Miaoyan nestled in Xiao Yu’s arms, whispering, “The government office only archived the divorce letter written by Brother Yu, I haven’t violated any of the seven outs, I could inform the governor and request an appeal, urging him to advise again; unless witnessed by the Xiao family that I am divorced, I am still Brother Yu’s wife, the Lady of the Xiao family!”

Her tone wasn’t harsh, yet every word was reasoned—something Madam Yin did not anticipate.

She widened her eyes staring at Su Miaoyan, “You… how do you know this?”

“Mother, I am not a fool, I have learned the rules for women and know what a divorce letter looks like. Brother Yu’s letter is utterly unreasonable, you’ve come this far to chase us here, it probably has quite the influence on Brother Yu!”

Su Miaoyan glanced up at Xiao Yu, his facial features sharp and well-defined, his jawline tense; he was scholarly and handsome but his expression was cold, impervious to what he was really thinking.

But she had said so much, and he had not yet tried to remove her from him.

He couldn’t bear to.

Madam Yin was frustrated, looking at Xiao Yu, who gave no response either way, she just had to endure it with them.

While Su Miaoyan was lying on top of Xiao Yu, lax as if boneless, if not for her own need to use the restroom, she would never willingly leave him.

In that brief moment when she dashed out, Madam Yin spoke kindly to Xiao Yu, “I truly appreciate Young Master Xiao’s divorce letter, and his tolerance for Miaoyan’s willfulness, but now, as she won’t listen to persuasion, I implore Young Master Xiao to expel her from the Xiao family, so I can take her back to Jiang Du City.”

Su Miaoyan’s boldness was mostly a result of Xiao Yu’s spoiling.

If Xiao Yu could be a bit harsher, Su Miaoyan would dare not continue her actions, probably just cry a little, saddened for some days, then she would obediently listen.

She can live more freely and carefree in the Marquis’s Manor.

Xiao Yu had someone present Madam Yin with freshly harvested fine tea of spring, he whispered, “The divorce letter is my response to the lady, but the Xiao family can’t just throw a young girl out without cause, she may leave on her own, I cannot force her out, that would harm the Xiao family’s reputation.”

“How would that harm the Xiao family’s reputation? You just need to find two maidservants to escort her out of the Xiao family, I’ll take her once she’s outside the door, never giving her another chance to act recklessly.” Madam Yin’s voice showed her urgency, Xiao Yu’s stance wasn’t resolute, this wasn’t like him.

If he still had feelings for Miaoyan and wanted to keep her in the Xiao family, that would be troublesome!

She couldn’t win over Xiao Yu.

But when Su Miaoyan hurried back, his demeanor had changed utterly, his eyes cold as he called for Yu Zhiqing, “Send Madam Su and Yan’er… her daughter out of the Xiao family.”

Yu Zhiqing was startled for a moment, but his execution speed was extremely fast.

While Su Miaoyan was still shouting, he had two alert maids quietly ‘escort’ Su Miaoyan out of the Xiao family.

Once Su Miaoyan left the Xiao family, she was promptly placed in a carriage by Madam Yin, which left swiftly.

Yu Zhiqing returned to report to Xiao Yu, and the hall was in total disarray. Xiao Yu’s teacup, along with the precious items displayed in the hall, were all smashed to pieces.

Xiao Yu sat in the wheelchair, his eyes bloodshot, with blood still dripping from his hands.

Apparently cutting himself while smashing things.

Mu Qianya learned of this and went to visit Xiao Yu. He was still cold and rigid, immune to anyone’s advice. Mu Qianya felt, “I can’t see how at ease you are. You and Madam Su were both doing it for Miaoyan’s sake, yet she was crying when she left, and you are not happy either.”

What was the point then?

“Shut up, get out!”

Xiao Yu’s gaze was cold and sinister.

Sensibly, Mu Qianya left. As she passed by Feng Ling, she wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, “Are you watching me?”

The man’s deep gaze met hers.

Feng Ling nodded, “Mmm, I used your medicine.”

Mu Qianya was instantly thrilled, “Is your wound better? Have you taken the Heart Protection Pill?”

Feng Ling unbuckled his belt, lifted his garment to show her, “The wound has healed, no need to waste the Heart Protection Pill.”

He took out a small jade bottle the size of a thumb and handed it back to Mu Qianya.

Mu Qianya stuffed the small jade bottle back into his chest pocket, “You are the one facing dangers, living on the edge. I am merely strolling around this mansion, I won’t need it. Keep it well, and if Xiao Yu punishes you again, make sure to protect your own life first.”

Mu Qianya fretted over him, admonishing him to preserve his life as if assigning a daunting task.

Feng Ling listened to her incessant chatter, feeling oddly touched.

He hadn’t heard someone talk so much in a long time, Xiao Yu’s commands were always brief.

Only Mu Qianya.

Talkative, and caring about his life.

As Feng Ling walked Mu Qianya back to her yard, she continued to look for opportunities to talk, her mouth never stopping, prompting occasional responses from Feng Ling with an “oh” or “mmm”, and even a few words.

Back in the neighboring courtyard, Mu Qianya suddenly realized, “He was… kind of different today.”

Seeing her spaced out, Feng Ling brought over her favorite snacks, “Miss, what are you thinking about?”

“Feng Ling, he just spoke to me, even walked me back, and said more than one word?”

Mu Qianya’s expression shifted from dazed, to surprised, and then to delight.

“Could he be scheming to trick Miss out of her life-saving medicine again? Miss, we really don’t have a third pill left!” Feng Ling stomped her feet anxiously, in her view, Feng Ling was just a cheat for medicine!

Mu Qianya’s hard-earned stash of life-saving medicine, all taken by him!

Such a loss!

Overwhelmed with emotions, Mu Qianya couldn’t make Feng Ling understand, and she dashed back to her room, rolling on the bed several times to suppress her excitement.
