Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 521 - 266: Driven Out

But when Shi Fengju came back, everything had changed.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Shi Fengju knew immediately what was going on when he learned his younger brother had arrived with a finely dressed young lady. His face darkened as he rushed back with the housekeeper. On the way, he scolded the housekeeper fiercely for letting that woman enter the house. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he ordered the housekeeper to go back and have the servants bring water to wash the floor, insisting that anything touched by that woman be thrown away!

The housekeeper had never seen him so furious and didn’t dare express any objections. No matter how busy, he agreed hastily and felt grievously wronged in his heart.

The young master is the master, so is the Second Master, right? How could he refuse to let in a woman brought by the master? Even if he did refuse, how would the Second Master possibly listen to him?

The housekeeper sneaked a glance at the young master and thought to himself, Madam is in the mansion and it’s inconvenient for her to speak up, let alone a slave like me. The young master doesn’t dare to get angry at Madam, so it’s us slaves who are unlucky!

Madam Qin was also indignant and waited at the second gate for Shi Fengju’s return. As soon as she saw him, she went up to greet him and found an opportunity to bring up Su Qing’er in a few words, exaggerating the events that occurred in the garden when reporting to Shi Fengju.

"I’ve lived half my life and have never seen a woman who speaks so sharply, with such cutting and vulgar sarcasm. God knows what seductive tricks she used to ensnare the Second Master! If it weren’t for Madam arriving later, she even claimed she would pull out all the wisteria flowers! I was so angry that I confronted her, only to be ridiculed by her, saying that I, as a servant, am not worthy to speak to her!"

"Servant?" Shi Fengju sneered coldly. "She’s nothing but a lowly woman. Madam Qin, don’t stoop to her level!"

Madam Qin’s words were like pouring oil on the fire. Shi Fengju, filled with rage, strode into the hall where all three stood up.

Shi Fengju’s face was grim. Su Qing’er felt a sudden tightness in her heart without reason, instinctively hiding behind Shi Fengming. Shi Fengming was somewhat perplexed, as his brother’s anger seemed directed at him, but everything was fine last night, wasn’t it? In what way had he offended him again? Wanting to greet his brother and call out, "Big brother," his lips moved, but nothing came out, nor could he take a step forward.

"Fengju, you’re back!" Sang Wan said with a smile as she came forward to hook his arm, gently squeezing it, her eyes looking softly at him.

Sang Wan sighed inwardly. She had expected Shi Fengju to be angry when he found out Su Qing’er had entered the premises, but she did not anticipate the extent of his anger. Speaking of Su Qing’er, she really was something, seducing someone else’s son to elope, abandoning parents and wife. The Shi family would want to flay and dismember her, yet she had the nerve to show up in broad daylight!

"Fengju, the Second Master is here. Let’s sit down and talk slowly," Sang Wan said gently.

Shi Fengju turned to look at her, his gaze softened a bit, and he gently patted her hand, "I have something to discuss with my brother. Miss Wan, you should go back to your room first."

It might be best for her not to get involved in the brothers’ matters. Sang Wan nodded and said with a smile, "Then I shall go first! Fengju, take your time to talk, and don’t rush things. After all, we are family."

"Alright, you can go," Shi Fengju nodded.

With a smile, Sang Wan released his arm, nodded and smiled slightly to Shi Fengming, taking Liu Ya with her to leave.

"Big brother!" Shi Fengming said with a forced smile, "Big brother is truly blessed. My sister-in-law is so virtuous!"

Seeing his older brother’s expression soften a little, Shi Fengming quietly heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help admiring Sang Wan a bit more. His big brother rarely lost his temper, and when he did, even their aunt was afraid of him. Unexpectedly, not only did his sister-in-law dare to approach, but she also managed to calm him down in a few words.

Shi Fengju ignored his remarks, his cold gaze fixed on Su Qing’er. "Our Shi family does not welcome you; this is not a place you can come. Get out!"

Su Qing’er’s face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively grasped Shi Fengming’s hand.

"Big brother!" Shi Fengming panicked.

"Get out!" Seeing this, Shi Fengju grew even angrier and said coldly, "Leave now if you know what’s good for you, otherwise, I’ll have someone throw you out! Feel free to try!"

"Big brother!" Shi Fengming became frantic, spreading his arms in front of Su Qing’er, "Qing’er means no harm, we came to ask for big brother’s help. Qing’er is sincere, why won’t you let us finish speaking?"

"Will you leave or not? Here, no one can save you! Drop that foxy facade, it won’t work with me!" Shi Fengju’s gaze was intense as he stared at Su Qing’er, his eyes flashing with mockery and scorn.

Shame and disgust instantaneously rose in Su Qing’er’s heart, wishing she could hide in a crevice in the ground. Others might not understand the look from Shi Fengju, but she did.

Initially, the person she had first sought to flatter and seduce was Shi Fengju, unfortunately without success, which led her to settle for the next best option, Shi Fengming. Shi Fengming, being essentially more naive, was no match for a head courtesan from the brothel, and it took only a few encounters for Su Qing’er to have him wrapped around her finger.

But while Su Qing’er had Shi Fengming head over heels and desperate for her, she underestimated the Shi family’s resistance. When Shi Fengming wanted to take her as a concubine, Second Master Shi and his wife were furious to the point of explosion, and if not for Shi Fengju acting more sensibly to stop them, they would have torn down the Zuixiang Building!

Afterwards, the Shi family hastily arranged for Shi Fengming to have a wife. Seeing this, Su Qing’er became anxious. Although Shi Fengming was fond of her, how long could a man’s sworn sincerity last? Maybe after marrying a wife and taking a pretty concubine, his thoughts of her would fade, and if in another year or half the wife and concubines had children, he’d likely cast her aside.
