I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Upon hearing Qin's words, Su Congxian trembled and looked at her gratefully.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, I appreciate your kindness."

As the two were talking, Lin came over again, and Qin immediately pulled up a chair and sat down next to her.

Granny Liu, having just acquired a jade bracelet, had no interest in listening to the opera. She kept looking down at the bracelet in her hand, muttering to herself.

“Our fourth son is really something. He married such a good wife and knows how to be filial to his mother. She’s so good, so wonderful. My wife has never worn such a beautiful bracelet in her life. Of all the children we’ve had, our fourth son is truly the most successful!”

Seeing this, Wang Guihua nudged Su Banxia with her elbow and whispered:

"You see? Your grandma is such a snob. She's overjoyed when she gets a little something. Our second branch worked so hard for the Su family, doing so much work, but now she says it's all worthless and that no one is as good as her fourth son."

Su Banxia knew that Wang Guihua was upset and unwilling, so she reached out and patted Wang Guihua's shoulder.

“Mom, I know you’re upset. The past is the past, so don’t think about it anymore. No matter how much you think about it, you can’t change the past. Now that we’ve separated from the old family, it’s already good enough that we can maintain a superficial relationship. Look at my grandma, my aunt and third aunt will take care of things from now on.”

Hearing Su Banxia's words, Wang Guihua felt somewhat comforted. Fortunately, she had listened to Su Banxia and separated from the Su family early on, which allowed her to live such a good life now. Otherwise, she would have been working like a slave for the Su family every day, and her own family would never have been able to make a living. Her son would never have been able to marry such a good wife as Lianhua.

Thinking this way, Wang Guihua felt that what's past is past, and there's really nothing to be upset about.

So he stopped thinking about anything else and happily started watching the show.

Su Songchuan followed Li Shuer to greet each table. The Li family naturally looked down on Su Songchuan, a son-in-law who had married into the family, so they ignored him every time he greeted them. They even deliberately offered him wine to drink. Su Songchuan was afraid of not making Li Shuer proud, so he accepted every drink offered by the Li family, afraid that they would look down on him.

After toasting everyone, Su Songchuan was already unsteady on his feet. Li Shuer felt sorry for him when she saw him like this. Thinking about the wedding ceremony the next day, she immediately ordered the servant to take Su Songchuan back to the courtyard to rest.

Seeing Su Songchuan being helped away by a servant, Li Xin'er walked over to Li Shu'er and said with a smile:

"Sister, what are you still doing here? You're getting married tomorrow. Why don't you go and have a good chat with Mother? Grandmother's family has arrived and is sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. Go and sit with them for a while."

After listening to Li Xin'er's words, Li Shu'er thought for a moment and nodded:

“I haven’t seen my maternal relatives in a long time, so I should go and sit with them for a while. I’ll go over now.”

After saying that, Li Shuer led her maid directly towards the flower hall.

Seeing that Li Shuer had gone far away, Li Xiner took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quickly walked towards Su Songchuan's courtyard.

When Li Xin'er arrived, she found that the servant had already left. Li Xin'er tiptoed to the door and, seeing that it was not bolted, gently pushed it open and went inside.

At this moment, Su Songchuan was already fast asleep in bed. Seeing this, Li Xin'er couldn't help but curl a mocking smile into her lips.

“I’ve said that I want to have what my sister has, and I have to get it before my sister does, whether it’s people or things.”

Li Xin'er muttered to herself as she walked to the bedside, slowly taking off her clothes. As soon as she approached, Su Songchuan groggily opened his eyes. Looking at the figure before him, he assumed it was Li Shu'er who had come to see him, and so he mumbled indistinctly:

"Shu'er, why did you come over? Aren't you supposed to be at the front entertaining the guests? Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll just take a nap. You go ahead and do your work. If we both leave, it might be disrespectful to them."

Seeing that Su Songchuan was quite drunk and clearly mistook her for Li Shuer, Li Xin'er smiled, said nothing, and lay down next to Su Songchuan.

She leaned against Su Songchuan, who immediately stiffened upon seeing this. His mind was hazy, but he still forced himself to speak:

"Shu'er, what...what are you doing? We're getting married tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry? I...I still want to celebrate our wedding night..."

The more Su Songchuan spoke, the closer Li Xin'er pressed against him. Su Songchuan felt unbearably hot all over.

"Shu'er, please don't do this. I can't tarnish your reputation. Tomorrow... after the wedding..."

As Su Songchuan spoke, his voice grew increasingly hoarse... He was feeling dizzy, but he could feel the unique fragrance of the woman beside him constantly filling his nostrils, and his body was enveloped in softness. He felt unbearably hot, unable to even cover himself with the blanket, and even the words he uttered were incoherent...

"You...no...it's not...we...please...please don't do this..."

Li Xin'er didn't care what Su Songchuan was saying at this moment, and directly covered herself with the quilt, which aroused Su Songchuan's suppressed anger...

After the two of them had been busy for a while, Su Songchuan's mind seemed to clear up a bit. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xin'er smiling seductively at him.

He thought he was seeing things, so he immediately rubbed his eyes hard. When he opened his eyes again and saw Li Xinran's face, he was so frightened that he jumped out of bed, quickly covered himself with the blanket, and said in terror:

"You...how are you here!"

Li Xin'er gave a wicked smile, struck a beautiful pose, and raised an eyebrow at Su Songchuan.

"Why can't I be here? My dear brother-in-law, have you forgotten how you just treated me?"

Su Songchuan felt a chill run down his spine. He never imagined that something like this would happen the day before his wedding to Li Shuer. He never thought he would betray Li Shuer, but now he had actually done this to Li Shuer's own sister...

Su Songchuan swallowed hard, looked at Li Xin'er somewhat timidly, and stammered, "..."

"I...I really didn't mean to. I...I drank too much. I didn't know...I thought...I thought you were..."

"Heh, who do you think I am?"

"I thought you were Li Shu'er... You wouldn't have told your sister about this, would you?"

As he spoke, Su Songchuan knelt down directly in front of Li Xin'er and pleaded bitterly:

"I beg you, please don't tell her about this. It hasn't been easy for me and your sister to get to where we are today, and I want to cherish our relationship. I know I was wrong, I'm not human, I'm worse than a pig or a dog. You can punish me however you want, just please don't tell your sister about this, I beg you!"
