Yun Mei turned to Xiao Lian, noticing his reddened eyes, and immediately felt apologetic, explaining: “We mean no harm…”
“You’re bullying people…” Before Yun Mei could finish, Xiao Lian interrupted, turning away with tears gathering in his eyes. He felt wronged, believing they were being bullied by the Jin family master’s legitimate spouse, who had betrayed the family and insulted his brother.
This woman, enamored by her handsome spouse, had refused to marry his brother, leading to their bullying. He had always respected her, thinking she was capable, but now she not only suffered in silence but also allowed him and his brother to be mistreated.
Yun Mei felt guilty and, seeing Dao’er about to speak, quickly stopped him. Dao’er was always too quick to speak and never learned.
Su Xi was having a nightmare, dreaming of people pointing and whispering cruel words about him.
“He actually thinks the Jin family master likes him, when she’s only interested in his body…”
“Even if the child is born, it’ll just be an illegitimate child, destined to be sent to a brothel…”
No, he was not that kind of person. He did not seduce her. It wasn’t like that.
He loved her, loved being with her, loved bearing her children, loved looking at her.
Su Xi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, his heart aching. He tightly protected his belly, not wanting the baby to suffer like him.
Stop talking. Stop saying such things about him.
Go to Jin’s Mansion?
Suddenly, a suppressed scream came from inside the room, and the people outside stood stunned, looking towards it.
Xiao Lian reacted and anxiously rushed toward the door. Before reaching it, the door suddenly opened. Su Xi walked out, still not wearing outer clothes, with hair falling loosely around her ears.
Her lips were pursed, her face pale, with fine beads of sweat glistening in the sunlight, clearly having had a nightmare.
Dao’er muttered, “He’s not even that good-looking. He must have seduced the master to have such a nightmare.” Seeing Yun Mei’s displeased look, Dao’er closed his mouth, not daring to continue.
“Brother, are you okay?” Xiao Lian worriedly held Su Xi’s hand, seeing his pale lips, anxious enough to ignore the two people in the courtyard.
