What Su Xiaoqi had in mind, Shen Yun knew it all.
It was one thing to know, but he couldn't understand what she meant by changing the plot or having negative impacts.
Shen Yun was also frustrated. He had thought that the more he interacted with the things in Su Xiaoqi's heart, the more he would understand her.
But in the end, the deeper he delved into her heart, the less he felt he understood her.
How many secrets was she hiding?
Sometimes he wanted to just find her and ask for an explanation.
But he was afraid of scaring her away, so he could only endure it, again and again!
As they walked along the road, they suddenly saw the Zhao sisters.
Zhao Xiaohua was accompanying Zhao Hai'e.
Su Xiaoqi didn't have a good impression of either sister.
But when she saw the direction they were heading, she immediately remembered the incident where Zhao Hai'e had almost tricked her that night.
She grabbed Shen Yun and hid behind a corner of the wall.
They watched the Zhao sisters walk towards the end of the village.
Needless to say, besides the house they were renovating, the only other place there was Zhao Guanggun's family.
The two of them were definitely going to find him.
Shen Yun also saw this.
He was also worried that Zhao Hai'e would come up with some new trick.
He pulled Su Xiaoqi and followed them.
However, the end of the village was too open, with only a few date trees and loquat trees, and no large places to hide.
The two dared not get too close.
They watched the two enter Zhao Guanggun's dilapidated courtyard before they slipped along the base of the wall.
"What exactly happened that night?" Zhao Hai'e started with an accusation.
Her voice was so loud that it made Su Xiaoqi's extremely sensitive ears ache.
"How the hell should I know?" Zhao Guanggun was nonchalant.
He had benefited greatly anyway.
For him, there was no significant difference between sleeping with Su Xiaoqi and sleeping with Zhao Hai'e.
As a bachelor, he felt he was getting a great deal with either of them.
"Close your thieving eyes." Zhao Hai'e was angered by his shifty gaze.
Zhao Guanggun obediently closed his eyes, but his mouth was not honest. He kept provoking Zhao Hai'e with vulgar and lewd words.
He even described their feelings when they were doing those things.
This immediately caused Zhao Hai'e to yell in anger, followed by a series of "clatter and bang."
Perhaps Zhao Hai'e had smashed something.
It was too noisy, too chaotic, and too jarring inside. Su Xiaoqi was startled and dared not listen anymore.
So she covered her ears with her hands.
Unexpectedly, inside, Zhao Xiaohua and Zhao Guanggun were talking about Su Xiaoqi.
Zhao Guanggun said she was truly strange.
Last time, he had followed Zhao Hai'e's instructions and sneaked into her house, and he was about to succeed.
But he didn't expect her to beat him up and knock him unconscious.
Zhao Xiaohua recalled that day when she had incited Mrs. Qian and the others to go over, she hadn't seen Zhao Guanggun.
So she asked him where he was when everyone went to look for them.
"Where? I don't know.
When I was unconscious, I was in their house. When I woke up, I was also in their house." Zhao Guanggun said, reaching out to touch Zhao Hai'e.
He asked her if he had been too mighty that night, making her unable to forget the feeling.
Since she had come to his door today, why not do it again?
Zhao Hai'e refused, screaming and hitting him with whatever she could grab.
Zhao Xiaohua suddenly lowered her voice and said, "My uncle is the village chief. Do you think he would let me, Hai'e, marry you?
Also, don't forget, my eldest sister is the concubine of the county magistrate.
I've told you long ago that if you do something like that and it gets out, my sister will have a hard time, and it will bring disaster upon yourself."
Zhao Xiaohua's words were very harsh, almost like a threat.
Su Xiaoqi outside sneered at this.
Zhao Xiaohua truly lived up to her reputation as a "white lotus" character who survived in novels.
Putting aside other things, she had a good way with words.
"Also, you two were foolish last time.
They were living a happy and harmonious life as a couple, and you thought about going to disrupt them.
Alas, it's good that they didn't trouble you now.
You should not provoke them anymore in the future."
As Zhao Xiaohua spoke, she casually tilted her head to adjust her hair.
Through the cracks in the broken wall, she indeed saw Shen Yun and Su Xiaoqi standing by the wall outside.
Hmph, she had seen them from afar earlier and guessed they had followed.
To clear herself from this matter,
Zhao Xiaohua then said a lot of words to dissuade the two.
During this time, she also stopped Zhao Hai'e, not allowing her to reveal that this was a joint plan.
After she had played her part and ensured that she was not involved, she pulled Zhao Hai'e and prepared to leave.
At the same time, she reminded Zhao Hai'e to threaten Zhao Guanggun again.
"I'm telling you, my older sister is back. If you dare to speak nonsense or act out, I'll have my brother-in-law kill you." Zhao Hai'e's eyes were red, and her lips were bitten white.
Heaven knew how much she hated him.
Her purity, her everything, was all ruined by this man.
She and Zhao Xiaohua had agreed to come here today to find a way to kill Zhao Guanggun.
But in the end, Zhao Xiaohua reminded her that someone might be following them.
To avoid being seen, they had to postpone their plan.
Seeing the two sisters about to come out, Su Xiaoqi and Shen Yun walked away.
They didn't go anywhere else but into the house they had just finished renovating.
The framework of the entire house was already built, and the courtyard wall had been erected.
Only the installation of doors and the finishing touches were left.
As for the furniture, Shen Yun had already asked his uncle to find someone to make it.
It would be moved in before they moved in.
Looking at the spacious courtyard, Su Xiaoqi and Shen Yun exchanged glances, with joy in each other's eyes.
Su Xiaoqi felt she could finally get rid of Shen Yun's family's "old, dilapidated, small" thatched cottage.
Shen Yun, on the other hand, felt that this was his and Xiaoqi's new home.
This also signified the beginning of a new life.
On the way back, Su Xiaoqi asked Shen Yun what he thought of Zhao Hai'e.
Shen Yun blurted out without thinking: "Utterly foolish."
"What about Zhao Xiaohua?" Su Xiaoqi thought about the entanglement that would occur between them next and couldn't help but be curious.
Shen Yun pondered for a moment: "Smarter than Zhao Hai'e." And more pragmatic. She knew who to provoke and who not to.
Su Xiaoqi fell silent.
Indeed, Zhao Xiaohua was able to stay by Shen Yun's side in the end for her own unique reasons.
No matter what, this was necessary for the subsequent plot.
She couldn't disrupt it.
Su Xiaoqi sighed: "Yes, she is very smart."
Then she craned her neck to look at the two receding figures.
Only when they transformed from two black lines into two black dots and slowly disappeared did Su Xiaoqi withdraw her gaze.
But soon, she met Zhao Xiaohua again.
This time, she was not alone either.
She brought Zhao Haihua, the eldest daughter of the village chief's family.
Su Xiaoqi was not surprised to hear about Zhao Haihua's return at Zhao Guanggun's place earlier.
So, she was not surprised to see her.
What surprised her was that Zhao Haihua actually invited her to go to the west of the city to see the lotuses.
"The lotuses at Xishan Lake in the west of the city have bloomed. They are much more beautiful than the ones in your fish pond. Will you come with us?"
Zhao Haihua looked at Su Xiaoqi, appearing very sincere.
Su Xiaoqi couldn't figure out what she was up to.
However, she did love lotuses, and even more so, the lotus roots connected to them.
At the same time, she wanted to achieve something through Zhao Haihua.
She had been wondering how to approach her and befriend her,
but she hadn't expected her to come to her.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
After they made an agreement, Zhao Haihua turned and left.
The bright smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by dark calculations.
