Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 531 - 271: Accompanying Conversation (2)

Shi Fengming thought for a moment and said, "Jingyi? Zhou Jingyi? So that’s her name! I can hardly remember what she looks like! If she blames anyone for this, she should blame her own parents! It’s not my fault!"

This man is beyond help!

Sang Wan felt like she was talking to a brick wall. Thinking about Zhou Jingyi, who was eagerly waiting for Shi Fengming, hoping and waiting for his return, Sang Wan genuinely felt it was not worth it for her. All her devoted affection had been in vain.

"Elder sister-in-law, did you say their family is making a fuss about divorcing? That’s a good thing! Why haven’t my parents agreed?" Shi Fengming asked again about this matter.

Sang Wan was instantly choked up and thought to herself that all her previous words were spoken in vain! He still didn’t understand!

"Second Young Master," Sang Wan sighed lightly, "even if you get divorced, then what? Do you plan never to marry a wife in the future?"

"I—" Shi Fengming wanted to retort that he would marry Su Qing’er in the future. But the words died in his throat. That was absolutely impossible! Not to mention his parents would never agree, he himself had never thought of marrying Su Qing’er as his wife. And Su Qing’er herself had been content with the promise of becoming a concubine. Eventually, he would have to marry a wife! Sang Wan was right; if not the Zhou family, then the Li family or the Liu family, one of their daughters would become his wife and marry into the Shi family.

Suddenly Shi Fengming felt dejected, realizing that his long-standing rebellion had become a joke.

Shi Fengming sighed softly, lamenting the unfairness of the world. His Qing’er was so wonderful; why did she have to come from a brothel? If only she were born into a wealthy family. But had she truly been from a noble family, how could he have easily met her?

The more Shi Fengming thought about it, the more headaches and turmoil he felt.

"Elder sister-in-law, could you ask elder brother to meet me? I have some questions for him. What does he mean by locking me up and ignoring me? He can’t keep me locked up forever, can he? If he refuses to come, please tell him that if anything happens to Qing’er, I will never forgive him in this lifetime!" Shi Fengming suddenly said to Sang Wan, his gaze fixed.

Sang Wan was taken aback and even more disappointed. It was truly unfair for Zhou Jingyi to lose to Su Qing’er. She was even more innocent than herself. While her own hands were tied due to the marriage arrangement, Zhou Jingyi had married in a daze, clearly just a pawn. When the pawn became expendable, had it not been for her natal family’s capability, who knows what her plight would have been by now! Yet her husband was obsessed with another woman and was even willing to sever ties with his family for her.

"Do you know what your elder brother has done for you? I am his wife and there are some things I shouldn’t say, but now I want to tell you, in order to find you in Handan, your elder brother nearly lost his life. Yet you want to break ties with him. You should say these things to his face!" Sang Wan silently thought Shi Fengju didn’t deserve this.

Shi Fengming was shocked, "What are you saying, elder sister-in-law? What happened to big brother!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Sang Wan looked at him and remained silent.

"Elder sister-in-law, please tell me! What happened to big brother!" Shi Fengming became anxious. Though they were not blood brothers, their relationship had always been good since childhood, and he had always respected, even feared, his elder brother. He wasn’t afraid of his father, but he rarely dared to disobey his elder brother.

"Do you really want to know? You’ve been to Handan before, haven’t you?"

Shi Fengming nodded.

Sang Wan then recounted the entire incident to him and said, "For the sake of your elder brother’s devotion to you, Second Young Master, please don’t oppose him anymore! You two are close kin."

Shi Fengming felt extremely guilty and he sighed after a while, "Luckily big brother is fine, otherwise Aunt would hate me to death." If anything had really happened to his big brother, how could he live in peace? How could he face Aunt? Shi Fengming felt even more upset, punching the window frame. Why do all these troubles always fall on his head!

"I just want to be with the person I like. She doesn’t even seek a title, so why must all of you target her!" Just thinking of the pitiful and beautiful woman who was willing to endure any hardship for him, Shi Fengming became conflicted again.

"You are a young master of the Shi family, how can you act so willfully? You have responsibilities to bear, and by persistently running away, you turn the Shi family into a laughing stock. Is there no fault in that?" Sang Wan really wanted to say that Su Qing’er didn’t seem like any good sort at all, even less so than Gu Fangzi. She wondered what he found attractive in her. If indeed she were reputable, perhaps Fengju would sympathize and might even help you due to shared suffering.

Having heard this, Shi Fengming felt very indignant and couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle, half-mocking, half-sarcastic, "Elder sister-in-law means to say that everyone should be like elder brother, giving up their love for the family’s reputation? No wonder elder sister-in-law thinks this way; if not, you couldn’t have become my elder sister-in-law! I just didn’t expect that someone like elder brother would compromise! It shows that he never really liked Cousin Gu, but I am different. My love for Qing’er is sincere and unwavering in this life!"

"Second Young Master! You—" Sang Wan was so angry that she stood up abruptly.

Before she could erupt, an angry scolding came from behind, "Little brother, what nonsense are you spouting?" It was Shi Fengju with a grim expression on his face, clearly very angry.

Shi Fengming felt a moment of embarrassment, his face flushing slightly, but then he stiffened his neck defiantly and glared back at Shi Fengju, "I’m not spouting nonsense, what I’m saying is the truth. Since you yourself gave up, why should I give up too! I won’t be the one who is unfaithful and fickle!"

"Unfaithful and fickle?" Shi Fengju laughed angrily, his hands behind his back, "What do you know about unfaithfulness and fickleness? Being played by a brothel woman and still priding yourself about it, sometimes I really want to crack open your skull to see what’s inside! You dare to be so impolite to your elder sister-in-law, I won’t spare you!"
