Chapter 13: Strike while the iron is hot
Shuzhen widened her eyes, not understanding why the more she stayed, the more her Second Sister-in-law would leave? Looking at those small steps, scurrying with a kind of nervous energy, as if a wolf were chasing her!
Although the term "naive" was unknown back then, Shouyi also felt that his little sister’s silly and blank expression was quite endearing. He reached out and ruffled her hair twice, satisfied to see her looking at him like an angry cat, her eyes full of complaints about him ruining her hairstyle.
Shouyi let out a heartfelt laugh, feeling that this truly was his own sister, untouched by any swap, this feeling lingered in his heart.
The sensation was eerie, yet incredibly real, and it brought him a profound sense of reassurance.
After his thoughts, he quickly comforted Shuzhen warmly, "Alright, little sister, go on talking, don’t worry about your Second Sister-in-law. She, apart from worrying about eavesdroppers, also knows she has an open personality. Afraid she won’t keep a secret, she simply doesn’t listen. For someone as clueless as her, not knowing means no burden."
But as these words came out, Shuzhen pursed her lips, and Shouren widened his eyes. The siblings were also unsure where Second Brother/Her Silly Brother got the confidence to call Sister-in-law/brother’s wife clueless?
Clearly, he’s more the type to solve problems with fists rather than waste words!
If it were someone else being scorned by both the big brother and little sister, they would be terribly embarrassed.
But who is Second Brother Liu?
