Chapter 1309: Chapter 1308: Rekindling Old Feelings
"Aren’t you the Shen Family’s daughter? How can you be so shameless? Isn’t this too much? And do you even know how to work? Look at what you’ve done." Qiutang Yu’er looked at her with disdain.
"I will learn well, and soon I’ll do it right," Shen Rushuang said, unfazed.
"Don’t think I really won’t do anything to you. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better leave quickly and stop doing such degrading things."
"Say what you want, but I’m not leaving here unless you kill me," Shen Rushuang said with determination.
Qiutang Yu’er was at a loss for words for a moment. It was clear this woman was impervious to reason, and of course she wouldn’t really harm Shen Rushuang.
Watching Shen Rushuang silently doing her tasks, she felt helpless and went over to Su Changfeng, hoping he could think of a way to drive this annoying woman away.
"Hey, are you really not going to do anything?" Qiutang Yu’er said to Su Changfeng with annoyance.
Su Changfeng looked at Shen Rushuang. Her behavior was indeed too strange. This wasn’t about winning him back. The more she entangled herself, the more repulsed he felt.
"Shen Rushuang, what’s your real purpose here?" Su Changfeng asked with a frown.
"I just want to make up for the mistakes I made and then marry you again," Shen Rushuang said candidly.
Su Changfeng frowned. She didn’t seem to be lying, but if that was her only goal, there was no way he would believe it.
"Alright, if you wish to stay, do as you like," Su Changfeng said.
"Su Changfeng, are you crazy? I asked you to find a way to make her leave, and you’re letting her stay?" Qiutang Yu’er was immediately displeased upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, worried that Su Changfeng still had feelings for Shen Rushuang, which might rekindle in the future.
Following Su Changfeng into the room, Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but remind him, "Su Changfeng, don’t you already have a wife? And you said you have a child. Aren’t you afraid of hurting them by doing this?"
Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow. Qiutang Yu’er had always claimed she wanted to marry him, so why hadn’t she said this before? Now she seemed to be accusing him unjustly.
"So what?" Su Changfeng looked at her and said.
"Is it because you still care about Shen Rushuang? Are you planning to rekindle your old flame with her? Does doing this make you feel okay towards your wife?" Qiutang Yu’er asked.
"An old flame? There was never any old relationship between us, so how would there be anything to rekindle?" Su Changfeng replied.
Qiutang Yu’er clearly didn’t believe his words. Since he allowed Shen Rushuang to stay, in her view, it meant he couldn’t forget her; otherwise, he would have driven her out.
"Hmph, indeed no man is any good, saying one thing while thinking another. Do you think I would believe you? If you want to find someone else, why not choose me? Why must it be Shen Rushuang? Do you think I’m ugly?" Qiutang Yu’er said, unwilling.
In terms of appearance, Qiutang Yu’er was indeed superior, but in terms of figure, being younger, Qiutang Yu’er naturally couldn’t compare with the mature Shen Rushuang. But this wasn’t the crucial point, nor what Su Changfeng cared about. He had other reasons for letting Shen Rushuang stay.
"This time she came, it isn’t that simple. I just asked her, but she refused to tell me. Since that’s the case, let her stay. I want to see what her real motive is," Su Changfeng explained.
Qiutang Yu’er was taken aback; she hadn’t considered this possibility. But looking at Su Changfeng’s sincerity, it didn’t seem like he was lying. It seemed like leaving Shen Rushuang was indeed purely for this reason.
"Are you sure it’s just because of this?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng suspiciously.
"Of course. I’ve already told you before; I will only ever love my wife and absolutely won’t be interested in anyone else, including Shen Rushuang or you," Su Changfeng said seriously.
Qiutang Yu’er automatically ignored the last three words he said and replied solemnly, "Don’t worry, I’ll be watching over you at all times. There will be no chance for you to mess around with any other women."
Su Changfeng gave a wry smile. This little girl was thinking too much. If he had any feelings for Shen Rushuang, was it necessary to wait until now?
After all, Shen Rushuang had clearly stated before that she was willing to do anything as long as Su Changfeng wanted it. Such straightforward words left little to the imagination, so if Su Changfeng had any intentions, Shen Rushuang would have long been his.
Since Shen Rushuang had stayed, she really hadn’t done anything strange or spoken much. She quietly went about her work and cleaned up all the rooms in the small courtyard within just two days.
Early that morning, just after dawn, Su Changfeng heard the sound of digging outside. Instinctively, he jumped out of bed.
The bodies of Xingluo and the others were buried in the courtyard. If Shen Rushuang started digging and discovered those corpses, it would be a disaster.
"What are you doing?" Su Changfeng asked, frowning as he walked out of the room to see Shen Rushuang.
Shen Rushuang looked at him blankly, as she had only wanted to turn some soil. Why was Su Changfeng having such a big reaction?
"I was just turning the soil. I saw you love to plant flowers, so I thought I’d help," Shen Rushuang said.
Su Changfeng walked closer and said to Shen Rushuang, "Don’t touch this garden again. Otherwise, you might as well go back!"
Shen Rushuang became even more bewildered. Could it be that Su Changfeng really valued these flowers so much? She was only turning some soil, yet it made him so angry.
But since Su Changfeng had said so, Shen Rushuang could only comply obediently, "Alright, I won’t touch it again. I’m sorry, I really didn’t know you cared so much about these plants."
Su Changfeng had initially been somewhat suspicious of Shen Rushuang, but hearing her words and seeing she didn’t seem to be lying made him feel quite puzzled.
Since Shen Rushuang’s arrival, she had indeed been simply doing her work without any ulterior motives. Could it be she really just intended to win him back, without any other purpose?
In a certain inn in Tianshui City, the City Lord Mansion had specially arranged lodging for Xingluo and the others.
This time, the people from Xingluo were all quite old, almost all around 50 years of age, which wasn’t surprising given their high level of expertise.
It’s known that advancing ranks takes time. Someone like Su Changfeng is a rare talent on the Tianyuan Continent.
"When do we find Su Changfeng?" Wang Yue looked at the other two, although he was an eighth-rank expert, among them was someone very close to ninth-grade strength, so he couldn’t make decisions alone.
