Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 431

Sun Jifei could have asked someone to invite Yao Zhuer, but he went there in person.

Yao Zhuer was hanging clothes in the yard. The sunlight was a little dazzling and she couldn't see the person standing at the gate for a moment until the person called her.

"Brother Sun?" A look of surprise appeared on Yao Zhuer's face. Ever since the maid who bullied her was taken away, she could be said to have lived a very comfortable life, but she was always uneasy in her heart.

For some reason, she trusted Sun Jifei very much, and she later found out that almost everyone in this family called Sun Jifei "Uncle Sun", but she didn't want to change her words and still blurted out "Brother Sun".

Sun Jifei is indeed old enough to be her father, but because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his body is very strong and his face does not look old. He is just too silent, making it difficult for people to approach him. However, Yao Zhuer understands that Sun Jifei has a kind heart and is genuinely good to her.

Seeing Yao Zhuer walking towards him quickly with a smile on her face, Sun Jifei couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that couldn't be any fainter, and his eyes softened.

"Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry!" Seeing that she was in a hurry, Sun Jifei couldn't help but worriedly reminded her.

Yao Zhuer then realized how reckless she was. She slowed down and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Ahem." Sun Jifei looked at her for a while, then came back to his senses, coughed, and said, "The Madam wants to see you, do you want to pack up? I'll wait for you!"

Yao Zhuer suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise: "See me, why do you want to see me?"

Sun Jifei didn't know whether he should tell Yao Zhuer that the Xie family had been sentenced, and he didn't know why Qin Su wanted to see Yao Zhuer. So, he looked away awkwardly, and then looked back at Yao Zhuer: "Go change into clean clothes first, I'll wait for you!"

Yao Zhuer also came back to her senses, knowing that the other party might be embarrassed by what she had just asked. She lowered her head following the other party's gaze, and saw the wet pants and clothes from washing clothes. She nodded and forced a smile to suppress the uneasiness in her heart: "Brother Sun, wait for me for a moment, I will be done soon!"

After saying that, Yao Zhuer ran back quickly and swiftly changed into a set of clean clothes. These were the clothes that Li Siniang had sent over, four sets in total, as well as some jewelry and perfume.

Yao Zhuer opened her dressing box and wanted to tidy up, but then she glanced out the window, afraid that the man might be waiting anxiously, so she combed her hair neatly with a comb and inserted a silver hairpin inlaid with red coral, and that was it.

Yao Zhuer in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, and she looked like a beauty without any makeup.

When she walked in front of Sun Jifei, Sun Jifei's eyes fell on the hairpin on Yao Zhuer's head and stayed for a moment.

Yao Zhuer noticed it immediately, reached out and touched the hairpin, smiled shyly and said, "This is a piece of jewelry given by Sister Si Niang. I like this hairpin the most, so..."

Sun Jifei didn't say much, just nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation. Yao Zhuer knelt down to return the greeting, lifted her skirt and stepped out.

After being in this mansion for such a long time, Yao Zhuer just stayed in this yard. She didn't ask around and didn't go out. She just stayed in this small yard honestly and did what she could.

Now, I have finally come out of it, but I don’t have too many feelings. Instead, my mind is on the people around me.

As he walked past Sun Jifei, the heat from the man seemed to infect Yao Zhuer, and half of her face turned red.

Although she was young and had not experienced much in the world, she was a married woman after all, and she was quite knowledgeable about matters between men and women.

She naturally understood that the way Sun Jifei looked at her was different from the way he looked at others. If possible, she would naturally be willing to live with Sun Jifei, but these were all extravagant hopes. She also knew that she was now a married woman abandoned by her natal family and her husband's family was still in prison.

Thinking of this, Yao Zhuer's heart sank into the ice cellar again. Her future was still unknown, so how could she still think about those beautiful things?
It's really crazy!
So, Yao Zhuer, who was a little shy just now, suddenly straightened her back and her steps became steady. She walked over the threshold and down the steps, then put down her skirt, clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, and walked towards the unknown step by step.

Sun Jifei keenly noticed that Yao Zhuer was different, but he couldn't guess why she changed in an instant.

Qin Cui received Yao Zhuer in the moon-viewing pavilion in the garden.

This is a pavilion with windows on three sides and surrounded by water on three sides. At night, when the moonlight falls on the water, people in the pavilion can sit on the stone benches, look at the moon in the water and taste the wine in their glasses.

But now it is daytime, and although it is hot outside, it is very cool in the pavilion.

Yao Zhuer was somewhat restrained. She stood at the door and saluted Qin Cui. Then she turned to look at Sun Jifei, only to find that Sun Jifei was just standing outside in the corridor, staring at the leaves and petals floating on the water with his deep eyes.

Qin Sui followed Yao Zhuer's gaze, glanced at Sun Jifei outside, then turned back and smiled at Yao Zhuer, "Miss Yao, come and sit down!"

Yao Zhuer didn't expect Qin Sui to be so generous, so she smiled and walked over to sit down with peace of mind.

"Don't worry. I came here to discuss something with you. Of course, if you are willing, that would be great. You can help me. If you are not willing, I will not force you."

Yao Zhuer took the tea handed to her by Qin Cui with both hands, took a sip carefully, and could not taste anything at all. Her hands were shaking with nervousness, so she simply put the teacup on the table.

"Madam, just give me your orders. You saved me from that prison, and I have yet to repay you for saving my life. No matter what you say, Yao Zhuer will do her best to do it."

"I want you to go to the prison and meet the old man of the Xie family."

Suddenly, the mention of that nightmarish person was like opening up a memory that she didn't want to recall, and Yao Zhuer shuddered all over.

Then Qin Sui said, "You just need to meet him once and tell him that you are pregnant with his child."

Yao Zhuer's mind instantly turned from fear to surprise. She blinked and said, "I'm not pregnant?"

After saying this, he rolled his eyes and looked through the stained glass window at the upright figure standing outside, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

Seeing her like this, Qin Sui instantly understood Yao Zhuer's thoughts. She pretended to turn her head to look at the weeping willows hanging over the water outside, but her eyes swept over the dazed Sun Jifei. Her thoughts in her mind had been confirmed.

Sun Jifei seemed indifferent, but he was actually kindhearted, especially to the weak and helpless. When Yao Zhuer came out of the cell, the first person she saw was Sun Jifei. Although he was indifferent, he was considerate and polite, which inevitably made the frightened Yao Zhuer feel dependent on him.

It is unknown how much of the love between men and women is true, but it is true that one party is dependent on others and the other wants to protect them.

Qin Sui smiled and looked back at Yao Zhuer: "Miss Yao, don't you want to leave the Xie family, earn your freedom, and pursue your own happy life?"
