Chapter 938: 938 Hot Attitude
Li Rong’er felt ignored but hardly cared.
She was furious that Xiao Yishan hadn’t said a word in her defense, deepening her sulkiness.
With reddened eyes, she called out, “Brother Xiao!”
Xiao Yishan bellowed with a thick voice, “Fourth brother cooked dinner for the two of us, yet you still have complaints.
It’s you who’s causing trouble!”
Rong’er’s eyes welled up with tears from his shouting, feeling aggrieved.
It was a pity that everyone was seated, and not a single person paid her any mind.
Standing aside, she was unsure whether to sit at the table or to leave for fear of angering Xiao Yishan.
Besides, she couldn’t bear to part with the deliciously aromatic food on the table.

As everyone started using their bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Yishan glanced at Li Rong’er crying alone and thought that since she was a woman who had followed him with a pure and clean reputation, he ordered, “What are you staring at, quickly come eat at the table?”
“Oh.” She promptly responded, grabbed a set of bowl and chopsticks, and sat at the table.
When Xiao Yishan called for her, both Su Qingyue and Tao Meijiao gave him face and didn’t chase Li Rong’er away from the table.
Yishan looked over at the maid Du Juan, who was standing by outside the door, “Isn’t she coming to eat at the table?”
“She’s a servant, it’s not proper for her to sit at the same table as her masters,” Tao Meijiao said.
“Masters and servants have their own places, and I haven’t treated her poorly.
I’ve already set aside some vegetables for her.
Once we’ve finished eating, she’ll have her meal on her own.”
Normally during meals, Du Juan waited on them, picking out fishbones and chicken bones for her, but now that they were in Wushan Village, they followed local customs.
The Xiao Family were farmers, especially in front of Su Qingyue, it wouldn’t be proper to act high and mighty, so they had Du Juan wait outside.
“The Tao Mansion certainly has strict rules,” Xiao Yishan offhandedly commented.
Tao Meijiao replied, “Without rules, there is no square or circle.”
After dinner, Xiao Qinghe boiled two pots of hot water.
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan had worked all day and were sweating, feeling sticky all over, so naturally, they needed to bathe.
But it would take a lot of hot water for both to bathe, so they made do and bathed in the river in the dark.
Once the hot water was ready, it was Su Qingyue and Tao Meijiao who took turns bathing in the bathroom first.
By the time the two ladies had finished their baths, Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan had also returned.
Su Qingyue said to Tao Meijiao, “The twelve rooms have been evenly distributed.
Third brother has a total of four rooms.
I’ve used one to store herbs, one is a utility room, and he and I each have a separate room.
Do you want to sleep with me or borrow a room from the fourth brother?
Your maid Du Juan can make a bed on the floor in the utility room or rest in my fourth brother’s room.”
“Du Juan making a bed on the floor is fine,” Tao Meijiao answered.
“Xiao Yue, I would like to sleep with you tonight, and I’ll trouble your fourth brother tomorrow night.”
“All right,” Qingyue agreed.
She then called out to Xiao Yuchuan, who was just about to enter his own room, “Third brother, Meijiao and I are going to sleep in the same room, so you just sleep in your room.”
“Oh,” said Yuchuan, a bit reluctant since it was rare for Tao Meijiao to visit, but he didn’t say anything.
During the night, Tao Meijiao and Su Qingyue took off their clothes, climbed onto the bed, and chatted casually.
“Xiao Yue, have you really decided to marry Xiao Yuchuan and not considering Estate Owner Chang?” Tao Meijiao still felt it was a pity, “Estate Owner Chang’s power and wealth are beyond what even rich men can earn in a lifetime.”
“Enough of that, Estate Owner Chang is old enough to be my father,” Su Qingyue responded.
“One can only spend so much money, and I can create everything I want by myself, so let’s drop the subject of Estate Owner Chang.
What about you?
You seemed quite taken with my fourth brother today.”
