Chapter 812: I met Liu Haitang today.

Thinking of Su Qingyue’s past contributions to the Xiao Family, Xiao Yishan, who deeply valued affection, feared that he might be stubbornly fixated on her. Since he was able to bring another woman back, it showed that men, after all, are fickle.

With the old romance between them, she believed that he could still accept her.

Upon hearing such misunderstandings about himself, Xiao Yishan explained with a cold face, “Who said my heart has changed. My wife is the only one in my heart! Li Rong’er was nearly sold by her family, and I helped her pay off a debt of twenty taels, she is nothing more than a maid I brought back to the Xiao Family.”

Aunt Zhang’s expression then softened, “So she’s a maid, it’s good that you, Dashan, haven’t done anything foolish.”

Li Wangcai did not agree, “Guys, don’t believe him. Yesterday, I was by the roadside when Dashan’s flatbed cart passed by, and I clearly heard that woman calling Dashan ‘Brother Xiao’. What kind of maid addresses her owner like that?”

“Oh my, I saw that maid of the Xiao Family too,” Ding Er sauntered over, “I have to say, that maid of the Xiao Family is quite pretty. I think you, Dashan, like her, and sooner or later, she will become the mistress of the Xiao Family.”

...

“Enough of your nonsense!” Xiao Yishan was getting annoyed.

“Hey, what’s there to be angry about?” said Li Wangcai, “What man wouldn’t be moved by a woman prettier than his own wife at home? It’s not just for one or two days, living under the same eaves every day, you’ll eventually end up in the same bed. Dashan, you are truly blessed this time…”

Aunt Zhang warned, “Dashan, you must never betray Qingyue.”

Xiao Yishan knew that Aunt Zhang was close to his wife, and quickly promised, “Auntie, don’t worry, I won’t.”

Money Zhang’s wife also yawned and came over carrying an empty bucket, and was surprised to see a woman hiding by the side of the house, exclaiming, “Isn’t that Liu Haitang? Why are you hiding here, not going out!”

With Money Zhang’s wife pointing her out, everyone’s gaze turned toward Liu Haitang.

Liu Haitang, carrying an empty bucket, stood by the corner next to the house over the empty land near the village well. Her figure was passable, black hair cascading down her back, her face adorned with delicate rouge and slender brows, dressed in a light purple skirt, appearing to be only twenty-three or four years old, and fairly beautiful by all accounts.

Liu Haitang had also been sizing up Xiao Yishan.

His figure, as tall and robust as she remembered, with that tanned skin looking exceptionally sexy. The hard lines of his face appeared cold, but she recalled the tender care he had once given her.

Her rather sharp gaze landed on the scarred scratches on his left face, which looked truly horrifying.

Thinking that the scars on his face were because of her, she felt a pang of guilt.

Her eyes met Xiao Yishan’s in midair, his gaze holding icy fury and disgust when looking at her.

She shuddered and withdrew her eyes, only pursing her lips and showing him a friendly smile, “Brother Xiao, long time no see.”

He acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, shaking the well rope to draw water.

The villagers all knew about the past romance between Xiao Yishan and Liu Haitang. Ding Er said, “Dashan, your old flame is looking at you with such tender affection, and yet you give no response.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Haitang blushed with embarrassment.

She had returned to the village for over ten days, waiting for Xiao Yishan’s return, and she had early made inquiries about the Xiao Family’s situation, clear and thorough.

Since Xiao Yishan said Liu Haitang was just a maid, he would not lie.

She hadn’t expected the Xiao Family to have the luxury of maids to serve them now.

Knowing of the Xiao Family’s present wealth, she regretted that she should have never given up on Xiao Yishan to marry Wealthy Wan from the neighboring town, only to end up with the fate of losing her daughter and being discarded.
