Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1215 - 1217: Did She See Through Me?

Seeing Guo Feng’s carriage depart into the distance, Xiaotian and Yang Qiu entered the courtyard.

Xiaotian first took Yang Qiu for a stroll around the Guo Mansion, then sat together in the yard. As the noontime sun rose higher, Xiaotian said, "Xiaoqiu, the sun is quite strong out here, shall we go back inside?"

"Yes." Yang Qiu agreed and followed Xiaoqiu back inside.

Xiaotian noticed that Zi Lan was always following and serving them, which made Yang Qiu a bit uncomfortable. Once inside, Xiaotian said to Zi Lan, "Zi Lan, there’s nothing much here, you can go now. I’ll call you if I need anything."

"Yes, young madam." Zi Lan obediently withdrew.

Inside, only Xiaotian and Yang Qiu were left. Xiaotian wasn’t wrong; Yang Qiu indeed felt uneasy because she couldn’t say or ask what she wanted with Zi Lan around.

She only spoke to her sister about family members and affairs.

In reality, she wanted to ask if Madam Guo somewhat looked down on their family being farmers, but she feared saying it might affect her sister’s relationship with them and cause a rift, so she had been quite hesitant.

Seeing her little sister’s conflicted expression, how could Xiaotian not notice? She asked, "Xiaoqiu, is there something you want to tell me?"

"I..."

Xiaotian held Yang Qiu’s hand, looking at her with a longing expression, "I have always envied families with sisters who can share everything. Now, I’m lucky to have a sister too."

Xiaotian’s words touched Yang Qiu deeply. In her family, she only had brothers, and she preferred to have someone she could talk to like a sister. So she said, "Sis, I’m a bit worried whether Master Guo and Madam Guo would look down on our family being farmers. I felt Madam Guo wasn’t very happy when I first mentioned our family, but she smiled when I talked about our family’s work."

Xiaotian didn’t expect Yang Qiu to be worried about this. She chuckled and replied, "Xiaoqiu, don’t worry. At first, I had no relatives, just a child bride, and they accepted me. Now having a family, although it’s a farmer’s family, it’s not bad either. They won’t look down on us, and with your brother-in-law here, even if they treat me poorly, he wouldn’t allow it."

Thinking of how young master Guo treated her sister and everyone else’s attitude towards her sister in this family, Yang Qiu felt relieved, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "You’re right, I can see brother-in-law treats you well."

"Yes."

"But sis, why do I feel your relationship with brother-in-law is different from others?"

"Hmm?"

"Just that it’s different from how brothers and sisters-in-law interact at home. I feel brother-in-law is good to you, just like my brothers at home are to their wives, but it seems you are too polite to brother-in-law." Yang Qiu expressed her thoughts.

These words startled Xiaotian as she wondered if she was too obvious. Did her behavior seem too unfamiliar?

She quickly explained, "Xiaoqiu, you’re overthinking it. Every couple gets along differently, and I’m used to how I am with your brother-in-law."

"But I also heard you call him brother?"

"Haha, because I’ve been calling him that for ten years and haven’t changed it yet."

"I see."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let me show you my embroidery." Xiaotian quickly changed the subject to gloss over the matter.

As expected, at the mention of embroidery, Yang Qiu became interested. She had been learning this from her family recently, wanting to make various patterns, and had a keen interest in it, "Alright, let me see your embroidery, sis."
