Chapter 128 Fifth Brother or Fifth Sister?
Jin Ruolan said so loudly that nearly all the onlookers heard her. Su Huanli stunned and then he was a little angry. He didn’t understand why Jin Ruolan satirized him as he never offended the Jin Family and the Lin Family.
Thinking of the strong power of the Jin Family and the Lin Family, Su Huanli forced a smile and flattered, “Childe Lin and Miss Jin are really a golden couple and we really admire you.”
Hearing Su Huanli’s flattery, Jin Ruolan was extremely delighted. Jin Ruolan knew that she wasn’t worthy of excellent Lin Yanxing. She could marry Lin Yanxing just because of the strong power of the Jin Family. But Su Huanli flattered that she and Lin Yanxing were well matched, so, she was really complacent now.
Seeing that Su Huanli flattered the couple of Lin Yanxing and Jin Ruolan immediately, Yan Ziye and Yan Hongxiu looked disguisedly. Both of them thought that Su Li’s families were really as disgusting as they heard before.
Hearing that Su Huanli said he was well matched with Jin Ruolan, Lin Yanxing was really disgusted. He said coldly, “Boss Su is a coward who can flatter two families at the same time. Lecturer Su is really unfortunate to have this kind of father.”
Then Lin Yanxing let go of Jin Ruolan’s hands. He turned around and glanced at Su Li for a moment. Then, he walked into the Baiwei Building alone.
Su Huanli was stunned at this moment because he didn’t understand why he tried his best to flatter them but was cursed by them.
Yan Hongxiu giggled and said, “Brother, let’s go inside, too!”
Then Yan Hongxiu pulled Yan Ziye while winking at Su Li playfully. Then they ignored Jin Ruolan who was standing there absent-mindedly, and walked into the Baiwei Building.
Su Li glanced at the longbow wrapped up with a cloth in Yan Hongxiu’s back and then she took her eye off the longbow. She almost succeeded in the blood refining method practice. Forty-nine days… How time flied.
After a short time, more misses and childes came. Thanks to the feast, the Baiwei Building had become a place where young talents in the Qinghe Town gathered together.
Although Su Huanli didn’t understand why so many young talents came here, he knew he had no rights to ask. So, he immediately ordered the chief cook to prepare dishes.
Lin Yanxing sat in the room and drank by himself. As he looked cold and married Jin Ruolan, n.o.body accosted him.
Lin Yanxing looked at Su Li now and then with possessiveness flashed in his eyes. The latter was welcoming guests at the entrance.
Lin Yanxing would never give up the woman he was interested in.
Lin Yanxing married Jin Ruolan only for the Lin Family’s interests, but he wasn’t interested in her at all. In the Qinghe Town, Su Li was the only woman who attracted him so much.
“Childe Lin is newly-married, but I am really puzzled that why you drink by yourself here?”
Hearing the tease, Lin Yanxing turned around and saw Yan Ziye sat next to him. Then Lin Yanxing said coldly, “Yan Ziye, if you can rank the top ten in the College of Martial Arts, I will look up to you. But now, do you think you are qualified to speak with me?”
Yan Ziye was really different from before. He would be angry if he heard those ironic words in the past, but now he said calmly, “You can’t decide if I am qualified to speak with you. Despite the fact that Su Huanli has no taste, the drinks here are the Liehuo Spirits of the Linli Building. Aren’t Childe Lin afraid that you will be drunk here?”
Lin Yanxing’s look changed slightly. He stared at Yan Ziye seriously and said, “I didn’t expect that the son of Satrap Yan was more formidable than I imagined.”
“You are flattering me. Gossips are gossips. You can’t believe them all.”
Yan Ziye made a fist and palm salute with a smile, “I also didn’t expect that Childe Lin would marry Jin Ruolan, that kind of woman, for the sake of little interests. It is really puzzling!”
Hearing Yan Ziye’s words, Lin Yanxing was furious. He couldn’t help but refute, “Nonsense! I am not a short-sighted man. If…”
Lin Yanxing stopped talking. He suddenly realized that Yan Ziye was tempting him to speak out what he wanted to know.
Lin Yanxing almost fell into Yan Ziye’s trap.
Lin Yanxing was in a cold sweat on his back. He shut up immediately. Yan Ziye sneered and said, “If what? Can you tell me?”
Lin Yanxing held the gla.s.s tightly. He calmed himself down at that moment, so, he wouldn’t be angered by Yan Ziye.
“Yan Ziye, you are not good at martial arts, but I admit that you are getting more deceitful under your father’s guidance. I almost fell into your trap just now. Fortunately, I didn’t. You can try harder.”
Then Lin Yanxing kept calm and said coldly, “I will tell you why I marry Jin Ruolan when I control the whole Qinghe Town. How do you think?”
Yan Ziye also said furiously, “You seem very confident. I will wait and see.”
Finally, Lin Yanxing left in advance with the excuse that he didn’t feel well. Yan Hongxiu wanted to chat with Su Li for a while, but Yan Ziye hurried to leave, so she left with her brother reluctantly.
As the members of the Lin Family and Yan Family left in advance, the feast was over in haste without a climax, but Su Huanli was quite happy and looked forward to tomorrow.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Su Li went back to the school. Although it was very noisy at the feast, Su Li heard clearly what Lin Yanxing and Yan Ziye said.
Su Li didn’t know what the Jin Family and the Lin Family would do later, but she was sure that they were supported by others.
“Yan Ziye changes a lot recently and is a steady fellow now. It seems that our second appointment can be finished soon.” Su Li thought.
Trees on the hill behind the courtyard rustled in the wind under the moonlight.
There was a saying that talent was everything in martial arts circle, but there was always a way out. Therefore, there also was peerless Xuangong which was suitable for ordinary people to practice.
Su Huanli was busy in the Baiwei Building. Su Li was also asked to help him.
Meanwhile, in the inn Zhu Yan lived, Mam. Su-Cui walked back and forth worriedly with the aid of a cane at the entrance of room. Su Zipei also stared at the room anxiously. They didn’t hear the cry of the baby but the screams of Zhu Yan.
“It has been so long. Why hadn’t she given birth to the baby?”
Mam. Su-Cui was so anxious that she was in a sweat on her forehead. The midwife she hired was the best in the Qinghe Town. And it is also her third time for Zhu Yan to give birth to a baby. Everything should be okay. But, nearly a whole day past, and Zhu Yan’s voice was hoa.r.s.e due to her screams. The baby hadn’t been born yet.
“Grandma, don’t worry! Let me have a look!”
When Su Zipei was about to push the door in a hurry, she heard the baby’s loud and powerful cry. Mam. Su-Cui and Su Zipei looked at each other happily and then rushed into the room.
Seeing Mam. Su-Cui, the tired midwife with the baby greeted her, but she was not delighted at all.
Mam. Su-Cui was disheartened suddenly and she took the baby quickly. After uncovering the quilt of the baby, Mam. Su-Cui was extremely depressed.
A girl!
A girl again!
Zhu Yan had given birth to three girls including Su Li.
“The witch told me before that it would be a boy! Why is it still a girl?” Mam. Su-Cui asked angrily.
Su Zipei was really frightened. She knew that the witch told a lie because Zhu Yan bought the witch over to speak so. However, as the baby was born now, how could Zhu Yan explain?
“The witch definitely told a lie. I must ask her clearly.”
Then Mam. Su-Cui gave the baby to Su Zipei and walked out of the room. She ignored Zhu Yan who was so tired that she even couldn’t open her eyes. She went back alone to the Dasu Town to find the witch.
The midwife was really embarra.s.sed and didn’t know what to do. She didn’t leave until she took the silver. The midwife was hard, because if she delivered a girl in rich and influential families, she couldn’t even get a red packet.
“Zipei, where is your brother? Take him to me.”
Zhu Yan finally woke up and asked anxiously while she saw Su Zipei holding the baby in a daze.
Su Zipei walked toward Zhu Yan slowly and threw the baby beside Zhu Yan. She cried, “Mom, it is Fifth Sister, not Fifth Brother! Mom, didn’t you say that it would be a boy? Why is it a girl again?”
“What?”
Zhu Yan was really nervous and untied the quilt of the baby with her trembled hands regardless of the pain. Seeing that it was a girl, Zhu Yan collapsed in bed.
Impossible… She took so much medicine before, but how couldn’t she give birth to a boy like Li Yuelian, that b.i.t.c.h?
“Well! Mom, grandma went to find the witch. If the witch tells grandma that we buy her over to tell the lie, what should we do?”
Su Zipei said anxiously. Zhu Yan opened her swollen eyes slowly and said calmly, “Don’t worry. The witch won’t have the opportunity to tell the secret. Now that G.o.d doesn’t give me a chance to live, why I expect that…”
“Mom…what are you talking about?”
Su Zipei felt weird. She held Zhu Yan’s hands tightly and said, “Mom, you have me. Don’t do anything stupid.”
Zhu Yan smiled, which made Su Zipei really frightened and even the unnamed baby swaddled in a quilt was scared to cry.
“I won’t do anything silly. I just think that I was too kind-hearted before. Your grandma and father treated me well, so, I didn’t do that.” Zhu Yan said calmly.
When the fifth daughter was born, Mam. Su-Cui went back to the Dasu Town immediately. Su Huanli didn’t even looked at her. In this case, Wu Yun’s proposal…what was she waiting for?
“Zipei, I want you to do something important for me. Remember that you should do it secretly and don’t tell anyone. Your father is no exception. Understand?”
Zhu Yan talked to Su Zipei in a sudden calmly and cautiously.
Su Zipei was puzzled, but she saw her mother took out a scrip from her arms. When she read the words in the scrip, Su Zipei was so frightened that she looked pale all of a sudden.
