Chapter 7: Your Company To Me

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Yunduan, who had turned completely stunned, and messy in his head, came back to himself after a slight push from his mother and uttered a very confused sound. "What?"

"What?!" Ms. Fang glared at him, seemingly displeased by how slow his reaction was. Then she gave him a look and said, "What are you staring at? Go and keep your wife company!"

Shao Yunduan moved his lips. "…"

What more could he say?

"Okay, Mom…"

Saying yes was the only thing he could do right now…

Ms. Fang then turned to Qiao Xuan and consoled her with a smile, before leaving in satisfaction.

She had met numerous people in her life, and was very sure about her own judgment of her daughter-in-law. The girl was a pure, open and straightforward person, who was born in a noble family but had no arrogance in her. She did not look down at the Shao Family, and respected her mother-in-law completely. Ms. Fang had all the reason to show more care towards her.

Also, her son was a man with a gloomy personality, who was really suitable for an open and easygoing girl like her.

What a great match written in destiny!

Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan, and complications arose in his eyes and heart.

"You are really capable of making my mom happy."

Qiao Xuan showed a modest smile. "Thank you for your compliment!"

Shao Yunduan's words got stuck in his mouth!

"I am not praising you, okay? Don't thank me!"

Qiao Xuan almost felt like bursting into laughter, seeing how he looked so wronged and speechless. She could not help but feel like teasing him. "Oh well, Mom told you to keep me company, how do you plan to do that?"

Shao Yunduan was actually a well-mannered man who barely threw temper at people.

But for some reason, he truly got annoyed whenever this woman started to talk!

When he saw her blinking and waiting for him to give a reply, Shao Yunduan answered stiffly. "Anyway you like."

Qiao Xuan tilted her head and thought for a while. "What about teaching me to write? I am not very good at holding the brush-pen, and you have to correct me one step after another, okay?"

What she meant was that he could stand behind her back, hold her hands in a flirtatious and nice way! When Qiao Xuan said the words, Shao Yunduan subconsciously had this image in his head. His eyes widened in astonishment. "You…"

So shameless!

Qiao Xuan covered her mouth and chuckled merrily so much so that the man in front of her got really angry and his face was distorted. She waved her hands and said with a smile, "I am just joking with you. Don't be so serious! I am going to sort through my dowries. You don't have to keep me company. You can do whatever you want. Bye!"

Shao Yunduan. "…"

Shao Yunduan was so angry as he saw the woman leaving from there. He could not help but feel his heated ears. He mumbled to himself through gritted teeth and left in irritation.

He was sure that the girl did not change, but had her mind undergone a transformation after experiencing death once? It was indeed an enormous change, after all!

Could she have decided to open up herself, since she was already stuck in a bad marital situation?

Shao Yunduan could not help but let out an emotional sigh. "Women's mood is just like the weather of June, so fickle and changeable!"

Qiao Xuan had 26 sets of dowries, which were transported into the Shao Family the day before, causing much jealousy among neighbors and friends.

Normally, village girls had at most six or eight sets of dowries when they got married, and even fewer families were able to offer 12 or 16 sets.

People kept saying that the Shao Family were getting lucky because of the moralities which their ancestors had accumulated. Their newly-wedded daughter-in-law had so many dowries that were really enough for the whole family to live on for one lifetime.

Qiao Xuan rolled her eyes and sneered.

Those dowries were just numbers on the surface. All the 26 sets contained low-quality things.

For example, according to the notes of Dowrey Notebook, there should be one pair of treasured vases, which, however, turned out to be a pair of very cheap porcelain vases wrapped in large boxes and was still counted as one dowry piece.
