The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 850: 850 Haitang intimidates Rong’er

Haitang, seeing his unfriendly expression, had also heard after returning to the village that Xiao Yuchuan had fought with Zhao Shugen and Shi Cai from the village. Neither of them could beat him; he was not an easy person to deal with. She hastily put on a mournful expression, “Chuan, it’s my fault, I wronged your second brother before…”

Xiao Yuchuan hadn’t said anything yet when a roar erupted from the room, “Liu, that lowly woman, get out of here immediately!”

Liu Haitang was so scared that she almost dropped her vegetable basket, and tears welled up in her eyes, “Dashan…”

Xiao Yishan’s face turned ashen, “I told you to get out, didn’t you hear me?”

Seeing this, Yuchuan thought it was his second brother’s mess and left him to deal with it himself, then wrapped his arms around Su Qingyue’s waist, “Wife, let’s head back to our room. I wanted to kiss you just now and didn’t get to…”

“Stop fooling around,” she glared at him and then really went into the room. Xiao Yuchuan followed on her heels, eagerly.

...

Liu Haitang stood at the entrance of the courtyard, listening to Xiao Yishan’s furious tone. On one hand, she felt joy; on the other, she worried. She understood men too well; the fact that he could be so angry for her meant she still had a place in his heart, but also meant he hated her.

Tears rolled down her meticulously made-up face, “Dashan, I was wrong before. All these years, I have been filled with immeasurable guilt, always hoping for a chance to make up for the past mistakes.”

“I don’t want to hear you speak. I don’t even want to lay eyes on you in this lifetime, you lowly woman, get out right now!” His voice was full of uncontainable anger.

“I just heard you were injured, and I brought some things to check on you… I really have no other intentions…”

“Get out!”

Far from leaving, she actually walked into the Xiao Family’s courtyard and entered Xiao Yishan’s room.

Xiao Yishan had just finished his dinner, and Li Rong’er had helped him to lie down on the bed when he was provoked to sit up again by Liu Haitang’s arrival.

Li Rong’er knew about Xiao Yishan’s past with Liu Haitang and seeing how tragically she had hurt him, yet still having the audacity to show up, felt like a death wish.

No man could forgive a woman who bears another man’s child and then falsely accuses him.

Besides, Liu Haitang later had children and got married.

Now her child had died, and she had been divorced.

This inferior product, now older in age, Li Rong’er did not see as her match.

She therefore leisurely prepared to watch how Haitang would suffer.

Liu Haitang glanced at the table and noticed there were two sets of bowl and chopsticks, clearly indicating that Li Rong’er, that lowly maid, had also dined in Dashan’s room. A flash of dissatisfaction crossed her heart, her eyes landing on Li Rong’er’s face, which indeed had some resemblance to hers—but Li Rong’er had the advantage of being younger.

One look at Li Rong’er, this lowly maid, and she knew she was trying to seduce Dashan, not content with merely being a servant in the Xiao Family.

It was one thing for Liu Haitang to turn down Xiao Yishan in the past, but now that she had returned, Xiao Yishan could only belong to her!

Deliberately ignoring his rage, she first fired a warning shot at Li Rong’er, “Dashan, is this the new servant you’ve purchased? How can a servant dine in the room with the master? Such lack of propriety, word of this would make people laugh.”

Seeing her refer to herself as a servant repeatedly, Li Rong’er’s anger bubbled, but noticing Xiao Yishan’s livid expression and wanting to defend his pity for her, she refrained from confronting Liu Haitang head on at this critical moment, instead responded meekly, “Indeed, the second young Master indulges this servant too much. It wouldn’t sound good if it got out. I shall dine alone from now on…”

Xiao Yishan narrowed his eyes slightly, “Liu Haitang, have you nowhere left to degrade yourself? Is it your place to manage the affairs of the Xiao Family?”
