Chapter 1485: Chapter 1480: She Shouldn’t Be Like This

Xiao Yu felt empty inside.

He turned his wheelchair towards the open window and looked up into the night sky. The hollow pain in his heart was not a sudden, life-threatening dull pain, nor was it heart-wrenching tearing. It was like being poisoned slowly; his heart was gradually consumed and submerged. Powerless to struggle, he let the aching soreness, with the passage of time, infiltrate every part of his body.

Hurt pierces the flesh, pain by three parts.

Hurt pierces the bone, pain by seven parts.

Hurt pierces the heart…

“Miaoyan sister!”

Su Miaoyan’s sweet and sticky voice rang out as she suddenly appeared at Xiao Yu’s window, even climbing through it.

“Be careful!”

As she almost fell to the ground, Xiao Yu quickly moved to catch her.

Su Miaoyan poked her head out from his embrace, her small face dirty but smiling like a warm, soft cat, “I’m fine brother Yu, I know you care about me!”

Xiao Yu’s ears reddened involuntarily but he gently pushed Su Miaoyan off him, “You should return to Jiang Du City with Madam Su.”

“Brother Yu, you once said, where you are is my home. If you’re not in Jiang Du City, I won’t go back.” Su Miaoyan spoke, trying to climb on him again.

But this time, Xiao Yu did not indulge her, but pushed her away, “I have written the divorce letter, I will remarry on another selected day.”

“Marry again… Mu sister?”

Su Miaoyan stared at him with round, puzzled eyes.

“Um.”

Xiao Yu responded coldly.

This news, to her, was probably heart-wrenchingly painful and disappointing towards him.

She should leave now.

But Su Miaoyan didn’t leave, nor did she cry. She just stood there in front of him, her lustrous full lips slightly pursed, her voice still soft and sweet, “Then I want to stay by brother Yu’s side too. As the wife of the Xiao family, when the husband takes a concubine, all matters should be managed by me.”

Xiao Yu was shocked for a moment, his heart even more apprehensive than when lingering on the edge of life and death.

He had never thought Su Miaoyan would say such a thing.

But he forcefully maintained his composure and said coldly with downcast eyes: “The divorce letter has been written, you are not the Xiao family wife anymore, there is no need to…”

“I am!”

Su Miaoyan looked at him, her eyes resolute, “I have not violated any conditions for divorce, and I have also given birth to Ningning for brother Yu. Brother Yu cannot divorce me. However, the duties of the Xiao family wife, I will still perform well. If brother Yu does not believe me, I can show you.”

After Su Miaoyan finished speaking, she yawned, showing that she was clearly tired.

She walked to Xiao Yu’s side, leaned down, and kissed his face, “Brother Yu, I’m going to rest first.”

She climbed in through the window and left through the main door of Xiao Yu’s house; outside the window, Yu Zhiqing was utterly puzzled.

Allowing Su Miaoyan to enter the Xiao family, was something he tacitly agreed to, and along her journey, no one dared to stop her.

However, he really couldn’t pin down the family head’s attitude.

How should this madam be treated after all?

The next day, Yu Zhiqing was called by Su Miaoyan; she instructed him to start preparing for Xiao Yu to take a concubine. The house was decorated with lights and colors, which also left Yu Zhiqing shocked.

He had always heard that their young madam was lively, delicate, and adorable, but not capable of managing affairs. However, every word Su Miaoyan said to him and every task she instructed him with were methodical. After speaking, she also asked him, “Did I say anything wrong?”

Yu Zhiqing quickly regained his composure, “Madam did not say anything incorrect, it is indeed as per the rules of the Xiao family.”

“Then you go prepare. If there is anything inappropriate, come and discuss it with me.” Su Miaoyan patted the account book in her hands, her youthful face wearing a reassuring smile.

After giving her instructions, Su Miaoyan went to find Mu Qianya.

Mu Qianya had also just learned that she was to marry Xiao Yu and was still in a daze when Su Miaoyan told her.

Mu Qianya’s shock lingered for a while, “To take a concubine… a concubine… I…”

Was she about to become Xiao Yu’s concubine?

Xiao Yu hadn’t told her about this in advance!

“Mu sister, brother Yu wants to marry you. I will take care of the wedding properly. You can rest easy. Although I have never managed affairs in the Xiao family, I have been married to brother Yu for three years. I am very clear about all the rules and expenses of the Xiao family. I have already had the steward start preparations, and the wedding ceremony will not disgrace the Mu family’s face. If you are unwilling, I can also tell brother Yu to take you as a secondary consort, equal in status to me.”

Su Miaoyan’s voice was sweeter than soft cakes. Although she did not seem like a managing madam, everything she said was just right.

At this moment, Mu Qianya was not shocked because she was to marry Xiao Yu, but because of Su Miaoyan!

“Miaoyan, you… you can manage affairs?”

Su Miaoyan curled her lips, her cheeks showing two dimples, “I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor. Although I have been delicate, I’ve learned all the household affairs at home—there’s nothing I couldn’t learn.”

Mu Qianya nodded, that made sense. Born from the Marquis’s Manor, even if lacking, she would have learned music, chess, literature, painting, rituals, rules, and even managing household affairs.

But before, why had she never seen… or heard Xiao Yu mention it?

“Mu sister, are you curious why I never managed affairs before?” Su Miaoyan saw her surprise, clutching the account book, falling into a reminiscent smile, “Previously, brother Yu doted on me. The responsibilities that should have been mine were all handled by Aunt Yin. Aunt Yin was his nursing mother and the one who always took care of me. She died for us. When Aunt Yin was here, she taught me everything, even more meticulously than my own mother. She said if one day brother Yu stopped doting on me, these skills would still enable me to stand firm in the Xiao family.”

Now taking these skills out, it was also to not let down Aunt Yin’s teachings.

Su Miaoyan also made it clear to Mu Qianya, “In terms of business, I am not as experienced as Mu sister, but I am still the lawfully wedded wife of brother Yu, the madam of the Xiao family. No matter how brother Yu gets along with Mu sister in the future, you must treat me as the madam, so we can get along harmoniously.”

She had no hint of oppression on her, yet she inspired awe in Mu Qianya, who kneeled and bowed, “Mu Qianya pays respect to Madam Xiao.”

“Mu sister, no need for such formalities.” Su Miaoyan smiled, helping her up, then asked her about some girlhood favors—what style of clothes she liked, cosmetics, jewelry, hairpins, saying she would have someone prepare them.

When she left, Mu Qianya still sat in the room, unable to regain her bearings for a long time. Even Feng Ling found it incredible, “Miss, this Miss Su… oh no, Madam Xiao, could it be that someone has poisoned her? How did she suddenly change so much?”

Mu Qianya’s eyes deepened, “She is still Miaoyan, but she… seems to be growing up.”

She was initially a naive, inexperienced young girl, now a composed, polite madam with a sweet smile, yet calculative at heart.

Madam Xiao of the Xiao family.

The marriage Su Miaoyan was arranging, seeing Mu Qianya, was all within Xiao Yu’s control. Yu Zhiqing stood before Xiao Yu, thinking the family head would be pleased, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yu swept all the tea cups and ink stones from the table onto the floor, roaring, “She shouldn’t be like this!”
