Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 18: Young Man, Take It Easy

"Young man, take it easy. We’ll be taking baths together every day from now on. If you keep having nosebleeds like this, your body won’t be able to handle it," Su Yijia said, tossing the towel into the water and placing her hands on his shoulders.

Her intimate attitude left Qin Kaize, who was at a loss for words, feeling like his head was buzzing. Apart from the beauty in front of him, he couldn’t think of anything else.

Was Su Yijia shy? She might be a little shy, but not much. If Qin Kaize were perfectly fine right now, she wouldn’t dare to be so bold, whether she saw it as a holographic game or a dream. However, the man in front of her was the only possible husband she could have in this world, and he was currently under her control. She felt like she could do whatever she wanted.

After happily bathing both of them, Su Yijia washed Qin Kaize’s hair and then took a seat to wash her own hair. She had originally thought of using a wooden tub to carry the dirty water to the toilet and pour it away, but Gao Huabin had already heard the commotion in the adjacent room.

"Sister-in-law, let me handle this," he quickly took the wooden bucket from Su Yijia’s hands.

Su Yijia didn’t argue and put the dirty clothes into the wooden basin, intending to wash them herself.

Gao Huabin immediately stopped her. "Sister-in-law, just leave them to me, including Commander Qin’s. I used to wash my own clothes in the army, so I’m quite experienced with this."

"I’ll wash my own," Su Yijia blushed and refused. There were still her personal undergarments in there; how could she let a man wash them?

"Then just give me the outerwear. In the future, Commander Qin will have a lot more clothes needed washed, you don’t need to be polite with me. Besides, you just took a shower, and washing clothes again will make you break a sweat," Gao Huabin hinted indirectly. Both he and Su Yijia understood what he meant.

Considering Qin Kaize’s current condition, he would need to change clothes several times a day for a long time. Adding two more pieces of her clothing really wasn’t a big deal.

"Okay then," Su Yijia reluctantly agreed.

After Gao Huabin left, Su Yijia quickly used the remaining clean water to wash her undergarments. Then, she placed them in her own basin. After washing the rest of the clothes, Gao Huabin hung them in the yard to dry. Only Su Yijia’s undergarments were hung inside the room.

Once everything was done, Su Yijia lay back on the bed. After a whole day of chaotic activities, she finally found some true relaxation. Within moments, she fell into a deep slumber.

Qin Kaize opened his eyes and listened to the steady breathing beside him. He had been on alert for more than half a month, and his neural system, which had been in pain, was slowly calming down. He didn’t trust the people from the Qin family. Even if he couldn’t stop them from doing anything, his nerves were instinctively on guard.

But now, he was surrounded by a sense of peace, and it was the first time that he had felt this way ever since he found out what had happened to him. He couldn’t deny that he became vulnerable because of it. However, the girl beside him was like a bright sun, making his world warm and bright.

A faint smile of contentment crossed his face as he closed his eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.

In the next morning, Su Yijia woke up early. After finishing her own morning routine and helping Qin Kaize brush his teeth and wash his face, she reheated the rib congee from the previous day. When she returned to the room, Xia Weiguo had just put down the notebook. Upon seeing her, his smile deepened.

"Good morning, Uncle Xia. The congee might be a bit bland, but we need to finish it. I’ll cook something fresh for Kaize at noon. His stomach is weak, and it’s not good for him to eat leftovers," Su Yijia explained.

People nowadays were more frugal, and as long as the food didn’t have a strong foul odor, they would finish the leftovers. However, summer dishes without refrigeration could easily spoil.

"No worries, your cooking is already excellent, and this congee smells especially delicious. Gao has gone to the state-owned restaurant to buy some steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks; he should be back soon," Xia Weiguo replied, appreciating Su Yijia’s attention to detail. He even felt that she could be even more particular.

Miss Xia’s family used to be so wealthy that they wouldn’t even eat meals with leftovers, let alone food that had been sitting for a night. However, due to some misfortunes, she had suffered and even married a useless man like Qin Zongyao. Now, she only had Kaize as her remaining bloodline, but he hadn’t taken good care of him. When Kaize was unwell, he couldn’t even have nutritious food. Xia Weiguo didn’t know how to face her in the afterlife.

Su Yijia noticed the strange expression on Xia Weiguo’s face, a hint of doubt flickering in her eyes, but she didn’t press further. She went to the wardrobe and took out her handbag. Then she took out the signed confession letter from her personal warehouse.

"Uncle Xia, this is the confession letter signed by the three people from the Qin family, including my sister. Please keep it safe."

Xia Weiguo accepted the paper with four handprints on it and carefully read the contents. Seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but shudder with anger once again.

"Uncle Xia, there’s no need to be angry. They have already regretted their actions. Moreover, not only will they continue to regret, but we have something that can really frighten them," Su Yijia reassured him.

She had initially wanted to say that perhaps everything happens for a reason, but she felt that it would sound a bit conceited.

"That’s right! If it weren’t for their misguided scam, Kaize wouldn’t have been able to marry such a wonderful wife like you, right?" Xia Weiguo said with a renewed smile on his face, teasing the half-leaning Qin Kaize.

Originally, she didn’t expect him to respond, but she saw him blink his eyes very seriously. Now, even Su was cheeky, her face blushed slightly.

After they all finished breakfast separately, they prepared to head to Su’s home. Although Qin’s parents were reluctant, they still brought fruits, canned goods, two pounds of brown sugar, and some pastries. Qin Kaize was also taken along by Su Yijia. Xia Weiguo had arranged for two cars and they were just enough for everyone to ride in.

Soon, they arrived. Gao Huabin carried Qin Kaize on his back going upstairs, and Xia Weiguo followed him while taking the wheelchair, and they didn’t find it troublesome at all.

The elderly ladies and aunts who weren’t working were curiously looking at them.

Su Yijia knocked on the door. Even though she heard movement inside, no one opened the door for a while.

The warmth in her eyes cooled, and she knocked harder and louder impatiently.

"Coming! Coming! What’s with all this knocking? You’re going to break the door!" A displeased voice came from inside, and the door was pulled open to reveal Su’s mother’s extremely angry face.

"You have the nerve to come back?"
