Xiao Yishan, who was listening attentively, broke into a smile upon hearing this.
Xiao Yuchuan was speechless for a moment, before he blurted out in frustration, “Su Qingyue, you, you…”
She asked, “What about me?”
“You’re malicious, you’re sly, you’re self-centered, you’re excessive!” He pointed at her, fuming. “You kill without spilling a drop of blood!” How dare she say that he was only half as appealing as his second brother? She was crushing his heart.
She kept her cool. “The last thing you said is true.” As an assassin and an excellent doctor, not to mention an expert in traditional Chinese medicine and poison, she could indeed kill without needless bloodshed.
“You just want to kill me bloodlessly, don’t you?” He grew more angry when she didn’t respond to his insults, “You ugly woman, I’m the handsome icon of Wushan Village, and you’re famously ugly. You aren’t even half as good-looking as me!”
“Ah?” She was surprised. “I’m actually famous for being ugly.” She had been rescued by the second brother just about ten days ago.
“Of course, bad news travels fast, the ugly ones are always remembered. You’re the perfect example.”
She touched her face. Her face hadn’t healed yet, but once it did, she was going to be a true beauty, an impressive piece of work. “If being ugly will make me immortal…” She considered not healing her face after all. Being forever ugly wouldn’t mean the end of the world.
But she changed her mind. She had been resting and recovering these past few days, she wanted to stay pretty, she didn’t want to be remembered for centuries… She decided to look for medicine to heal her face tomorrow.
Xiao Yuchuan thought she’d be angry after being called ugly. Instead, she shrugged indifferently. Knowing she was unlikely to peek at him showering again, he scowled at her, angrily fetched a large bucket of cold water, and bathed by the fence in the yard. As he bathed, he muttered angrily, cursing her for being exceptionally critical. His fury nearly caused him to scrub the skin off of his body.
In the kitchen, Xiao Yishan heard his third brother losing his temper. After all he was his own brother, so he reluctantly said to Qingyue, “Yue’er, your third brother…”
She was looking at her second brother. She knew what he wanted to say,
“Second Brother, don’t worry, I know your third brother is not a bad person.”
“That’s good.” Xiao Yishan nodded, but there was something peculiar in her words… They made it sound like she was very distant from the third brother.
It came to his mind that she didn’t allow the third brother to call her ‘wife’…
If seeing how handsome his third brother is, she still refused to acknowledge him, then what about him…
His gaze unwittingly fell onto his disfigured left face, and his spirits dampened. He looked back down, “Yue’er, the hot water in the pot on the stove is what the third brother boiled for you earlier. He said you sweated a lot today and might want to take a shower.”
After understanding his long sentence and seeing the disappointment in the second brother’s face, she did not want to cause any more difficulties for the second brother, “Second Brother, thank him on my behalf. I know he’s been very nice to me.”
It’s just that the petty cat was irritating with his lip service, constantly calling her ugly, which any woman would mind..
