Yao Xinxin Persuading the First Wife, Qian Sishui

Éditeur: Atlas Studios

Shi Jinhua felt that his life had started because of the five copper coins that Master Hu asked for! Hence, he instinctively rejected Master Hu.

When Shi Jinhua reached the entrance of Mingde Academy, he met Master Zhao's daughter, Zhao Yunxin.

At this moment, Zhao Yunxin was arguing with Zhao Qimin, who was obviously patronizing her. Unfortunately, the young girl was still as passionate as fire. Just as Shi Jinhua wanted to enter through the back door, he was stopped.

"Brother Shi!" Zhao Qimin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He couldn't offend Miss Zhao, but he also felt disgusted.

'Your surname is Zhao, and so is mine. Others will think that there's something wrong with our morals. People with the same surname can't get married. Absolutely not! But the main problem is that I'm not too fond of you, Miss Zhao! Sigh, it's troublesome to be too outstanding. It's really a sin to be as dazzling as me!'

Shi Jinhua wanted to pretend that he did not hear anything, so he turned around to leave. "Miss Zhao, I still have something on. Goodbye."

He left Zhao Yunxin behind and quickly caught up with Shi Jinhua. "Brother Shi, why are you leaving so quickly? Is something the matter?"

Shi Jinhua thought to himself, 'Yes! I don't want to see you!'

"Oh, I do. I'm in a hurry to revise the books I need to read in class." So the other man had better not follow him!

"Just as well, me too. Let's go together, Brother Shi."

As he spoke, he quickened his steps and glanced behind to Shi Jinhua, who was a step slower. "Brother Shi, hurry up."

Shi Jinhua groaned. 'I don't want to be quick…'

"Oh, I'm coming. Please go ahead, Brother Zhao."

It seemed as though scholars were all hypocritical.

"Miss, look at Young Master Zhao running away as if he was chased by a dog." Zhao Yunxin's maid frowned unhappily as she watched the figure disappear.

Zhao Yunxin said, "If you don't know how to say nice things, shut up!"

'You're the dog. Your whole family are dogs!'

"Oh…"

The maidservant was upset. She had only sad the truth! 'Was I wrong? What did I say wrong? Sigh… It's not easy being a servant…'

Zhao Yunxin watched Zhao Qimin leave and her heart was filled with sorrow. She could clearly feel that the young man did not like her.

Zhao Qimin thought, 'Yeah! Your feelings are absolutely right!'

Looking at Shi Jinhua's back figure, Zhao Yunxin had no choice but to leave the academy with her maidservant.

Girls nowadays were so open-minded and had chased their crushes all the way to the academy! Uncle Fu quickly closed the door. Master Zhao was a good person in his eyes.

Shi Jinhua had thought that Zhao Qimin would leave as soon as he entered the academy, but Zhao Qimin had followed him all the way.

'We're in the same class, so I guess he can't go anywhere. Does this fellow think I don't know that he's eyeing on my wife?'

Shi Jinhua looked at Zhao Qimin as if he was his arch-enemy. Zhao Qimin looked at Shi Jinhua as if he was a creditor. Both of them were smiling on the surface, but rage was actually bubbling under the surface.

Fatty Wang was in the class next door. Even though he had not passed the Elementary Scholar examination, Fatty Wang was still able to get by. All he thought about was his master, Qian Sishui.

Qian Sishui, who was at home, looked at the scene in front of her. For a moment, she could not put in words how she felt.

Nanny Jiang was pretty much deaf and was gesturing with her hands to Huwa, who couldn't understand and was using all her strength to express herself.

The maidservant, Xinyue, scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously. She then glanced at Master Xu and Li Kui. There was also the silent and cold Qian Sishui.

Every time she saw Huwa gesture at the nanny, Qian Sishui's heart would stop for a moment. What if the old lady lost his life here?

Before Fatty Wang left, he had said to Qian Sishui, "Master, Nanny is sick. I don't know how long she can live. Anyway, she's going to die. Just let her do whatever she wants. Don't be afraid. I'll deal with anything that happens!"

Qian Sishui had killed people before, but she had never killed a 70-year-old person, nor had she killed someone who was mentally challenged like Huwa.

Just as Qian Sishui was thinking about who she had killed, the annoying widow, Yao Xinxin, walked in with her hips swaying.

Widow Yao was a little afraid of Qian Sishui, but when she thought about how her mother-in-law said that she would marry her off to a butcher with a child, she was extremely unwilling.

What a joke. The women who were interested in Shi Jinhua only cared about their own appearances.

Widow Yao had only come because Shi Jinhua was not around. When she walked in, she saw Qian Sishui standing coldly outside the straw hut.

"Sister Qian, you're here. Have you eaten?" Widow Yao asked as if they were close.

"I have."

Qian Sishui did not discriminate against widows. If widows were capable, they were no different from freelancers!

"Are you used to this country life?"

'Why are you so concerned about me?'

"Huh?" Qian Sishui looked at Widow Yao in confusion.

Widow Yao used a smile to hide her embarrassment. "Looking at someone like you, you don't live in the countryside, right? Have you never thought of leaving to look for your family?" What she meant was, "Hurry up and leave Shi Jinhua. Don't stay!"

"I don't want to." Qian Sishui didn't even look at Widow Yao. Was there something wrong with this woman's brain?

The widow had no idea that a straightforward woman like Qian Sishui did not understand the hidden meaning of tactful words.

To deal with someone like the scholar's wife, you had to say, "I'm hungry. Let's go eat." One couldn't just ask, "Are you hungry? Shall we go eat?"

Ha! With the second way of asking the question, she would simply say that she wasn't hungry. What then?

One could tell from the way she fought and killed that Qian Sishui knew nothing about romance!

Widow Yao held her breath at Qian Sishui's answer and said, "Why not? You're a girl. It's not easy for you to be away from your family!" 'Hurry up and leave! Leave Shi Jinhua.'

"It's alright." It wasn't that it wasn't easy. It was mainly because her husband didn't make it difficult for her.

Widow Yao continued, "But aren't you worried about your family? They should miss you too, right?" So she had better go and find her family.

When Qian Sishui heard the other woman mention her family, her eyes darkened.

"Do you want to die?"

Was there something wrong with this woman?

"Aiyo, Auntie, Miss Qian doesn't understand your coy attitude!"

Xinyue had been watching from the sidelines and thought that it was just a visitor to the Shi family, so she hadn't paid any notice.

But after listening for a while, she realized that the other woman wanted Miss Qian to leave Scholar Shi on her own.

Living in the mansion, the maidservant had seen all kinds of women. This was the first time she had seen a widow come to persuade the first wife to leave.

"I've seen quite a lot working as a maidservant in my opinion, but this is the first time I've seen a widow come to persuade someone else's first wife to leave. I can't believe you're doing such a thing."

'Why's there another woman in this house?' Widow Yao was confused.

"What does it have to do with you?" This woman was also a dangerous figure!

"You even came to my young master's master's house to persuade the lady of the house to leave. Don't you know who I am? Let's not talk about anything else. You're a widow. As long as Scholar Shi isn't blind, he wouldn't like you! What are you thinking? Is your brain not working?"

How confident was this woman? How was she better than the scholar's first wife?

"What's wrong with being a widow? Is a widow inferior?" Widow Yao didn't like people saying that she was a widow.

"No, there are also good widows, but you're the only one who would persuade the first wife to leave on her own accord. Let's not talk about how Scholar Shi is now an elementary scholar, just look at his appearance. There are only a few people in the entire Daqing like that. Look at you. Even servants in our residence are better than you."

Widow Yao fumed. 'You're bullying me! Don't you think you're too much?'

"With your looks, are you really trying to show off in front of Miss Qian?" 'Even I feel a little ashamed of my ugly appearance in front of Miss Qian. But at the very least, I'm better than you!'

"Confidence makes you beautiful. You're really beautiful!" Xinyue scorned.

"As you said, she's good-looking. Can't a woman like her marry anyone she wants?" It was different for the widow. She had to work hard on her own…

Xinyue was angered by Widow Yao's words. Was this woman planning to cling to Miss Qian?

'Alright, if you're not convinced, let's fight!'

"Huwa!" Xinyue turned around and shouted.

In Xinyue's heart, closing the door and releasing Huwa was the most direct and effective way to resolve the matter!
