Chapter 486: Chapter 489 Inexplicable Hatred_1
Chao Lian’s thoughts made Qiao Duo’er feel that no matter how nice Sun Erhu was to her, it was all worth it.
Her dowry wasn’t substantial, and most of it consisted of clothes and shoes prepared for Sun Erhu.
Moreover, every stitch and thread was sewn by her personally, making the emotional investment quite significant.
For that fool Erhu to find a wife like Chao Lian, he could be considered quite blessed by the heavens.
"I got a few patterns from Ling’er before, all the rage in town. I’ll bring them to you later if you want," Qiao Duo’er offered casually.
Chao Lian quickly replied, "I can go and get them myself."
"You’re the bride-to-be now; you should just stay home and diligently work on your dowry. I have nothing else to do anyway, and it’s no trouble for me to make the trip," Qiao Duo’er said nonchalantly.
Having agreed to do this, Qiao Duo’er took some embroidery patterns to Chao Lian that afternoon.
They had at most one month until their wedding, and she wanted to make two more winter outfits for Sun Erhu within that month, so she had to hurry.
When she was still a few steps away from the Lin Family, Qiao Duo’er felt a pair of eyes gluing onto her.
Those eyes were filled with intense hatred and murderous intent.
Following her intuition, she looked in that direction and saw Xiao Lingchuan whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
There were rumors that Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law refused to use her silver to save someone, and it caused quite a stir at the time.
Later, Xiao Lingshan took his wife’s advice and decided to separate and live independently.
Xiao Lingchuan, out of deep affection for his sister and provoked by Zheng Shi’s instigation, divorced his wife.
With the staunch support of the second branch of the family, the Xiao Family managed to gather five hundred taels of silver for bribes.
In reality, Xiao Lingchuan never intended to truly divorce his wife; she was hardworking and had borne him children, he couldn’t bring himself to do such a foolish thing.
His plan was to rescue Xiao Biyu first and then, after things had settled down, he would apologize to his wife. He expected that once her anger had subsided, she would willingly return home with him.
This way, the Xiao Family would be reunited.
But months had passed, and still, all of this was just as he wished.
Xiao Biyu was still locked up in jail, and incredibly, his wife had gone off to become a concubine in a wealthy family.
Now, having lost his wife and wasted the silver, Xiao Lingchuan had suddenly aged a great deal.
And all of this was Qiao Duo’er’s fault!
If Qiao Duo’er hadn’t married Tan Zhenghong and stubbornly clung to him, none of this would have happened!
Qiao Duo’er fearlessly glared back, feeling not the slightest guilt towards the Xiao Family.
Xiao Biyu was both foolish and vicious, and the Xiao Family members were overly protective, naively hoping to get Xiao Biyu off the hook, which led to their own downfall. Was this her fault?
She felt that, all things considered, she was the most wronged party.
It wasn’t as if she should willingly step aside just because someone else coveted her husband, right?
Within the few steps between them, their thoughts diverged wildly, turning over and over in their heads.
"Slut!"
As they brushed past each other, Xiao Lingchuan muttered the insult contemptuously.
Qiao Duo’er immediately tripped him, causing Xiao Lingchuan to fall face-first into the dirt. The sight left Qiao Duo’er feeling quite satisfied.
She had been attacked personally; was she expected to just turn a deaf ear as if nothing happened? That would be madness on her part.
After being humbled several times and still feeling dissatisfied, continuing to present oneself for further humiliation was an utter stupidity.
Xiao Lingchuan swiftly got back on his feet. He should have smashed Qiao Duo’er’s head in with a punch just now!
But that woman wouldn’t be arrogant for much longer.
With that thought, Xiao Lingchuan’s mood improved significantly.
Once that person’s plan succeeded, Qiao Duo’er would be a prisoner, and he could do whatever he wanted to her!
His wife had married someone else; in the future, he might as well make Qiao Duo’er his concubine, considering that her face was quite appealing, after all.
