Used shoes? Yue Yao was taken aback. She finally understood why her big brother was so anxious. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she said, "Big Brother, this really has nothing to do with Jiang Yiyi. It's just that after this incident, I feel like I've just woken up from a long dream. I'm also feeling a little disheartened. Tell me, why would I have any interest in finding another man now?"
However, Miao Yi did not let it go. "An elder brother is like a father. You are not young anymore. The sooner your marriage is over, the sooner I will be able to fulfill one of my burdens. How about this, take a look for yourself and tell me if you see anything you like. I'll try my best to help you pick a good one. "
Yue Yao pried his hand away and said weakly, "Big Brother, I said I'm not interested right now. Do you think you can force me to do something like this?" Seeing that Miao Yi was really anxious, she quickly took two steps back and waved her hand. "Alright, alright. You make it sound like I can't get married. Can I change my mind? I will find someone sooner or later. Are you satisfied now?"
Miao Yi replied, "What do you mean by 'sooner or later'? Little Third, don't try to brush me off. Tell me, when is that sooner or later?"
"Big Brother, you should at least allow me to find a suitable man. You can't possibly force me to make do with just anyone, right?" She raised her head and said, "I've made up my mind. I must find a man who treats me as well as Big Brother."
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. His instincts told him that his little sister was just brushing him off.
In reality, Yue Yao was indeed just brushing him off. It was true that after the incident with Jiang Yiyi, she no longer had any intentions of doing so. At the very least, she temporarily did not have any intentions of doing so.
Miao Yi's shoulders drooped. Without saying another word, he slowly turned around and left. Yue Yao's last words had touched him.
Seeing this, Yue Yao was stunned, and she said, "Big Brother, it can't be that serious, right? Are you in such a hurry to push me out? "
With his back turned, Miao Yi waved his hand and walked away dejectedly.
Inside the room, Yun Zhiqiu and Xue Linglong were chatting and laughing about something.
Seeing that Miao Yi had returned, Xue Linglong noticed that his complexion and mental state weren't too good, so she tactfully took her leave.
Yun Zhiqiu smiled as she personally sent Xue Linglong off. When she returned, she found Miao Yi standing by the window in silence. She approached him and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Miao Yi placed his hands on the coffin by the window and sighed, "I've told Little Third about Jiang Yiyi."
Yun Zhiqiu frowned. "What's wrong? She still hasn't come to her senses? Does she hate you? If that's really the case, then isn't it too unreasonable? You wouldn't be unable to bear to tell her that I forced Jiang Yiyi to his death, right? "
Miao Yi shook his head in confusion. "Little Third said she would never marry again in this lifetime."
"This … this is just a moment of emotion. But … "Yun Zhiqiu was also a little hesitant." How should I put this? You said it yourself. Perhaps it has something to do with her impoverished childhood. Old Third has a worldly side to her since she was young. She's not a woman who can be easily fooled. It was not easy for her to trust a normal man. This Jiang Yiyi was able to make her fall in love with him. It could be said that he had some ability to handle women. After this experience, even if Third Brother had that kind of thoughts in the future, would he not be careful? I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult for her to accept another man easily. "
Miao Yi nodded slightly, then lowered his head and said, "That might be a problem. The biggest problem is that Little Sister has already done that with Jiang Yiyi. Do you think Little Sister will meet a suitable man in the future? After all, she is no longer a virgin. Will that man care about this? Will Little Sister be bullied in the future? Will she swallow her anger and be too ashamed to speak up when she is bullied? Even if Little Sister can say it, if it really comes to that, what can we do about it? Do we have to beat that man up? Will beating him up solve the problem? We can't just kill Little Sister's man, can we? "
Yun Zhiqiu was a little speechless. She didn't expect this man to think so far ahead for her little sister. It was clear that he cared for her in every possible way. She was both annoyed and amused at the same time. "Don't you know better than yourself whether men care about this or not? As a man, you should know better than me. Why are you asking me? "She rolled her eyes.
Miao Yi gently shook his head. "This world is indeed a little unfair to women."
"Oh!" Yun Zhiqiu scoffed. "You might think it's only natural when it happens to other women, but when it happens to your own little sister, you think it's unfair? What kind of attitude is that? "
"Zhao Fei …" Miao Yi suddenly muttered.
Yun Zhiqiu was surprised. "What about Zhao Fei?"
"Zhao Fei doesn't seem to care about this." Miao Yi rubbed his chin and smacked his lips, then shook his head. "Zhao Fei isn't a bad person. Unfortunately, he's already married to Wu Menglan. I can't possibly separate them and let Zhao Fei marry Little Sister, can I? "
A crafty glint flashed across Yun Zhiqiu's eyes as she teased, "There's another way. We can let Little Sister become Zhao Fei's concubine."
Miao Yi abruptly turned around and glared at her. "What are you talking about? Is that how you treat your sister-in-law? How can I let Little Sister become someone else's concubine? If that's the case, I won't worry about it anymore. Given Little Sister's looks, there are plenty of men who want her. Is there really a need to go to Zhao Fei? "
Yun Zhiqiu knew he would react this way and had long since set up a trap for him. She smiled faintly and said, "Do you want to slap yourself in the face? You still have the cheek to talk about someone else? What's with all those concubines of yours? Why is it that you can take in a concubine without any qualms, but someone else can't? "
"..." Miao Yi was at a loss for words. In the end, he turned to look out the window and waved his hand, saying, "In any case, this is impossible. I can't let Little Sister become someone else's concubine. I can't let Little Sister live her life under someone else's thumb!"
Yun Zhiqiu raised her brows. "So you're saying that I've been giving those concubines of yours a hard time? You're just using this as an excuse to make a fuss! Tell me, what do you have to say about me? Tell me. "
Miao Yi waved his hand with his back facing her. "Stop messing around. I'm getting annoyed. Help me think of something. What should I do about Little Sister?"
Yun Zhiqiu could tell that he was indeed feeling uneasy, so she stopped messing around and sighed. "There's no use worrying about this. If you keep thinking like this, then Little Sister will never have to look for another woman in this lifetime. In my opinion, it's better to let nature take its course. Little Sister will naturally find someone suitable. If there really is a problem, then we can just break up. I know you're upset after hearing this, but I'm just speaking the truth. My words are crude, but they're not. There's no point in overthinking this. "
Miao Yi closed his eyes and sighed. "Little Sister's life has been ruined by me!"
"Sigh!" Yun Zhiqiu sighed. She didn't know how to console him either. However, this was indeed the way of the world. How many women with good qualifications would be willing to pick up someone else's used shoes and become their first wife? Even if any man had the heart to do so and didn't care about it, the pressure of the world was still too great. Whether it was a legitimate child or a concubine, such a flaw would not be a legitimate child. If one were to be exposed one day and couldn't handle the pressure, then it was very likely that they would end up with a divorce letter. As her eldest brother, he had to consider it carefully.
But things had already come to this. What else could he do? Yun Zhiqiu guessed that Miao Yi was regretting forcing Jiang Yiyi to his death again. She was definitely involved in this matter, so the room fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, Miao Yi suddenly said, "Sister Qiu 'er, do you think Little Sister can still find a man who treats her as well as I do?"
Yun Zhiqiu scoffed. "I'm afraid that's not possible. Even if this didn't happen, she still might not be able to find one." There was something she didn't say out loud. 'You're too good to your little sister.
You're so good that it's hard to tell what you're thinking. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi seemed to have made up his mind. He abruptly turned around and took a deep breath. With a resolute look in his eyes, he said, "Sister Qiu 'er, I've decided. I will marry Little Sister!"
"Ah …" Yun Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. Her mouth was slightly agape. After a long while, she swallowed her saliva and asked, "You're not joking, are you?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "I'm not joking. I'm serious. Little Sister had the same thoughts back then. I just don't know if she'll still agree to it after what happened with Jiang Yiyi."
Yun Zhiqiu's expression twitched for a while. Then, she jabbed a finger at Miao Yi's chest and sneered, "I say, Niu Er. Are you saying that I should give up my position as the legal wife to your Little Sister?"
Miao Yi said with a straight face, "No! That's not what I meant. Little Sister will be a concubine. "
Yun Zhiqiu had a look of disbelief on her face. "Who was the one who said he would never let Little Sister be a concubine?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "First of all, I won't despise Little Sister for being someone else's concubine. I'm worried that she'll be bullied if she becomes someone else's concubine. But if she marries me, there won't be any problems. I trust you. After what happened with Jiang Yiyi, I'm really worried that she'll be taken advantage of by another man. It's better for her to stay at home and watch over her. "
"So you've been spouting nonsense all this time because you've been blinded by lust!" Yun Zhiqiu grabbed the soft flesh at his waist and said with gritted teeth, "Why don't you just die?"
Miao Yi grimaced in pain. "Sister Qiu 'er, you know that. I definitely didn't mean it that way."
"You bastard! You killed Jiang Yiyi, and now I'm helping you. Who do you think I am? I'm going to kill you! " Yun Zhiqiu's expression changed, and she instantly went berserk. She grabbed Miao Yi's hair and dragged him to the ground. Not only did she beat him up, she even climbed on top of him and started throwing punches at him.
Miao Yi curled up on the ground and hugged his head. He took it all in, neither scolding nor punching back, allowing Yun Zhiqiu to vent her anger.
Hearing the commotion, Qian'Er and Xue'Er pushed open the door and entered. They were speechless at the sight before them. The Madam had gone berserk again, beating up the Master until he lost his temper again.
The two of them quickly closed the door and retreated, pretending they hadn't seen anything. After all, this wasn't their first time seeing this. Who would dare offend the Madam when she was throwing a tantrum at home?
"Huff … Huff …" Panting heavily, Yun Zhiqiu didn't know how long she had been hitting Miao Yi. In any case, she was exhausted. Panting heavily, she got up, lifted her skirt, and kicked a few more times before finally stopping. She walked over to the tea table, grabbed a cup of herbal tea, and gulped down a few mouthfuls before slumping onto the chair, panting heavily.
