Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Younger Sister-in-law Picked Up for Nothing
Isn’t the woman sitting in front of me the same one from the Huachun Room?
Raven hair, almond eyes, and a pretty face. Such a beauty, but it’s a shame she has such a mouth on her.
“It’s indeed me!”
Pei Xiangyun glared at Zhao Huai, her mouth puffed up in annoyance.
Now she understood.
So the annoying fellow just now was her brother-in-law!
Zhao Huai’s glance shifted towards Yu Qinghan, the unspoken question in his gaze crystal clear.
Yu Qinghan introduced her with a smile, “Husband, let me introduce you to someone. This is my sister, Pei Xiangyun. Although we’re not related by blood, I have raised her since she was a child. She’s three years younger than me, just turned twenty this year.” “Sister, so that means you’re close friends, right?”
“Close friends? What’s that?”
Yu Qinghan asked, confused.
“Oh, it’s natural for Madam not to know. That’s the term we use in my hometown, it means intimate friends from within the same social circle,” Zhao Huai explained with a smile.
“Hmm… that makes sense.”
Yu Qinghan nodded, “She’s my uncle’s daughter. Originally she was part of an aristocratic family in the capital city, but they moved out and she might stay with us for a while.”
“From what I heard earlier, it seems you’ve already met?”
“Indeed, we met in the busy streets,” Zhao Huai acknowledged, his gaze drifting towards the young lady sitting before him, her almond eyes glaring at him and her mouth pouted. He raised an eyebrow, “Why are you staring at me?” Pei Xiangyun crossed her arms and pouted, “Aren’t you going to explain how you treated me in the Huachun Room?”
Right after that, as if she found her backbone, she turned her gaze to her sister and told on him,
“Sis, let me tell you, this is the man with the terrible attitude I was telling you about.”
“Oh, now I understand, why make such a fuss about it? Just let it go.” After listening to their conversation and combining what Pei Xiangyun just said, Yu Qinghan pretty much figured out what had happened.
She didn’t think her husband did anything wrong.
On the contrary, she thought what he did was quite right.
Of course, she knew what kind of character Xiangyun was, sooner or later her temper needs to be adjusted.
“Husband, did you go shopping for clothes?!”
Yu Qinghan noticed that Zhao Huai was placing some things he had brought back down on the ground, among which were quite a few clothes, beautifully wrapped and very neat.
“Yes, I wasn’t sure what style you liked, so I bought all the styles and colors you like,” Zhao Huai smiled.
Yu Qinghan picked up the clothes and went through each of them, her phoenix eyes gleaming with delight.
Obviously she never expected Zhao Huai to voluntarily buy her clothes and she was genuinely surprised and delighted.
“I think they’re all nice, very stylish.”
While flipping through the clothes, Yu Qinghan suddenly noticed a corner with a small bunch of brightly colored, intricately patterned lingerie. She instantly knew what her husband was thinking.
Her lovely face turned a rare shade of red.
Seeing such a scene, Pei Xiangyun was genuinely taken aback.
The difference in treatment was simply outrageous. When he bought something for her, her sister just accepted it calmly. But something bought by this jerk made her sister so happy?
Is this really her sister?
So biased!
While shocked, Pei Xiangyun also felt suspicious. This man must have done something to her sister. “Sis… this jerk…”
“Call him Brother-in-Law.”
Yu Qinghan looked up, her expression turned serious suddenly.
Her calm tone revealed an undeniable certainty.
Pei Xiangyun, seeing Zhao Huai smirking in front of her, was at a loss for words.
“Hurry up.”
Yu Qinghan urged impatiently.
“Brother-in-Law”
Finally, like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, these two words finally came out from Pei Xiangyun.
But from her expression, it was clear that she was reluctant.
Zhao Huai curled up the corner of his mouth and said leisurely, “You do know fear. Say Brother-in-Law again? From now on, Brother-in-Law will look out for you and we can let bygones be bygones.”
“Brother-in-Law…”
Under the overwhelming power of her sister, Pei Xiangyun finally gave in, whispering,
“Very obedient, as expected of my younger sister-in-law.”Zhao Huai laughed heartily, responding with joy.
This girl obviously lacks a good social beating, she really needs proper disciplining.
Just stepping outside, he bumped into his younger sister-in-law; indeed, no one could compare to this unexpected encounter.
Pei Xiangyun turned her face to one side, pouting and refusing to speak.
Seeing her like this, Yu Qinghan couldn’t help but smile, and turned to Zhao Huai, “Husband, don’t quarrel with her. It’s just that she’s been spoiled by staying at home too long.”
“It’s okay. Since we’re all family, it’s just a minor matter.”
Zhao Huai shook his head, indicating there was no issue. Naturally, he wouldn’t argue with a girl over petty matters.
If she’s the sister of his wife, then she’s family too, there’s no need to foster hatred.
“Husband, it seems you bought a bird?”
Yu Qinghan saw the birdcage on the ground and was a bit surprised. She initially thought her husband would bring back a cat or a dog. “Yeah, I noticed this bird was a bit special, so I bought it.”
“But this bird looks like it’s about to die.”
“Saving it might bring it back to life.”
Zhao Huai smirked. After placing the things he bought in their proper place, he excused himself to go cook.
After examining the things bought, Yu Qinghan turned to see the silent Pei Xiangyun, and teasingly said:
“Still angry?”
“Don’t be upset, tomorrow your sister will take you to see a play, okay?”
“There are a lot of delicious things in the busy streets, definitely things you’ll like.”
After soothing by Yu Qinghan, Pei Xiangyun felt a bit relief; her sister still cares for her.
“It’s a deal, then. Pinky promise.”
“Mhm.”
Only then did Pei Xiangyun unfold a smile, but then suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit, creating a slight conflict in her heart.
Ultimately, she decided to take the plunge.
She straightened her expression, earnestly said: “Sister, actually, the purpose of my visit… wasn’t entirely to see you.” “Oh?”
“Sis, on my journey south, guess what I saw?”
“What?” Yu Qinghan furrowed her brows.
“There are many refugees migrating south. They say there’s been a great drought this year, and the common people have lost their crops, so they’re all rushing to Jiangnan.”
“Additionally, I heard from the senior brothers in our sect that there are cults emerging in many places. What kind of sign do you think this is? I believe you should be very clear.”
“Since when did you start caring about these things?” Yu Qinghan felt a little strange.
“Sis, do you really think I’m still a child? I’m a cultivator now, at the fourth stage of refining qi. The average person is no match for me.” Pei Xiangyun’s eyes showed a rare calmness.
Seeing Pei Xiangyun’s eyes. Yu Qinghan felt a strange familiarity.
She looked just like the young Changning King, Pei Ming.
Could he really not know about Xiangyun’s escape?
Perhaps Xiangyun’s journey south was something Pei Ming allowed.
With this thought, Yu Qinghan’s eyes began to sharpen. This could be an attempt to probe, or even forge an alliance. “So what are you trying to say?” Yu Qinghan indifferently asked.
“Sis, let’s go home.”
Pei Xiangyun’s apricot eyes filled with an inexplicable glint.
“Nonsense!”
Yu Qinghan reprimanded sharply, her brows furrowed:
“Why are you concerning yourself with matters that the Imperial Court will handle?”
Pei Xiangyun pondered, “The current King Qin is stationed at the border, and his proposal to expand the army has been approved by the Emperor. He seems to be sharpening his swords for some action. I have a feeling that he’s up to no good.”
Yu Qinghan shook her head, “My elder brother has always been rash and indecisive. He’s been scared of our father since childhood, what can he do with a few strategists and his insignificant two hundred thousand soldiers?” “But what if one day, His Majesty is no longer here?”

“Don’t speak nonsense, our father is in his prime. The Xia Country still has a long future ahead.”
Pei Xiangyun pouted helplessly, counter-questioning, “So does sister really plan to live out her life here?”
“And why not?”
“The things of the past have long tired me. Now, I just want to live peacefully with your brother-in -law.”
Having said that, Yu Qinghan looked towards the busy figure in the distance, the corner of her mouth slightly rising in a smile.
