Chapter 3

After Wen Lingxue's excitement subsided, she suddenly noticed something and looked Su Yi up and down with her bright eyes. She said, "Brother-in-law, ever since you became a part of our Wen family, you rarely leave the house. You seem despondent, melancholic, and joyless. I've been worried for a long time, afraid that you might do something foolish."

She raised her gaze and stared at Su Yi, puzzled. "But now, we haven't seen each other for just a month, and you seem like a different person."

Su Yi was amazed in his heart. This girl has such keen intuition!

The Songyun Sword Mansion has a two-day break every month, so Su Yi hasn't seen Wen Lingxue for a month.

But he didn't expect that as soon as they met, Wen Lingxue would notice some changes in him.

"During this time, I've just come to understand some things. I won't be the same as before."

Su Yi said with a smile.

"I see."

Wen Lingxue was delighted, and a brilliant smile appeared on her exquisite and otherworldly face. Her voice was crisp as she said, "That's great. I like how you are now, it gives me a... hmm, indescribable feeling. Just like the books say, standing like orchids and jade trees, smiling like a bright moon, elegant and extraordinary!"

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, dressed in a beautiful blue garment, her smile like a blooming flower. It was genuine happiness from within, completely different from her cold demeanor at the Songyun Academy.

If her classmates were to see her like this, they would be astonished and shocked, feeling melancholic and wounded.

Su Yi chuckled.

A person's change often happens overnight.

Moreover, with the experiences and insights from his previous life, his state of mind and temperament were naturally incomparable to the past!

Wen Family.

One of the three major clans in Guangling City, located in the northwest area of the city, occupying hundreds of acres with its scattered courtyards and numerous mansions.

Night fell.

When Su Yi and Wen Lingxue returned, they saw a figure waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

Qin Jing, Su Yi's mother-in-law, though aged, had an elegant and beautiful appearance. She possessed a unique mature charm, and in her youth, she was definitely a great beauty.

"You worthless freeloader, I only asked you to pick up Wen Xue after school. Why did you come back so late?"

Qin Jing's face was filled with annoyance as she glared fiercely at Su Yi.

Whenever she saw Su Yi, she felt a surge of anger because of this son-in-law. It had caused her to hear countless ridicules and discussions during this period of time.

Su Yi remained calm, completely indifferent.

He had been a part of the Wen family for a year, so he naturally understood Qin Jing's hot-tempered nature.

However, Su Yi also knew that Qin Jing had been opposed to his marriage with Wen Lingzhuo from the very beginning and had strongly expressed her rejection and dissatisfaction.

But this marriage was arranged by the Wen family's matriarch personally, and Qin Jing didn't dare to defy her. In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

"Mother, I was delayed after school..."

Wen Lingxue, who was about to speak up to explain for Su Yi, was interrupted.

"Enough, you girl, go and have your meal," Qin Jing waved her hand impatiently, then coldly glanced at Su Yi. "You come with me. The clan leader and the others are waiting for you in the clan hall!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Lingxue couldn't help but ask, "The clan hall? Waiting for my brother-in-law? What is this about?"

"Don't you worry about it, girl. Stay at home and behave yourself. You're not allowed to go anywhere, understand?" Qin Jing's words were stern.

Wen Lingxue responded with an "oh" and discreetly glanced at Su Yi. A trace of worry appeared in her clear and translucent eyes.

Su Yi smiled and said, "Listen to your mother, go and have your meal."

Only then did Wen Lingxue turn and walk into the courtyard.

Qin Jing, who witnessed the entire scene, became wary. Her face darkened as she said, "Lingxue is still young. If you dare to have any improper thoughts, even if I have to give up everything, I will get rid of you!"

Su Yi's lips twitched. Am I the kind of person she thinks I am?

"Follow me."

Qin Jing no longer wasted words and couldn't be bothered to look at Su Yi again. She feared that she wouldn't be able to control her anger and scold this cheap son-in-law.

Clan Hall.

Bright lights illuminated the hall, and it was adorned with splendor and magnificence. The clan leader of the Wen family, Wen Changjing, and the other important figures were all present, sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall, chatting and laughing, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

However, as soon as Su Yi followed Qin Jing into the hall, everyone stopped talking and their gazes focused on Su Yi.

The gazes of those important figures became peculiar, ranging from mockery, disdain, pity, to sarcasm.

The previously lively and relaxed atmosphere became slightly heavy.

Although those gazes were directed at Su Yi, Qin Jing also felt uncomfortable all over. She whispered coldly, "Wait here."

She hurriedly went to sit beside her husband, Wen Changtai.

Su Yi, on the other hand, seemed unaffected and stood alone in the center of the hall, sweeping his gaze over the Wen family's important figures present.

Huh?

Suddenly, Su Yi's eyes froze as he caught sight of a familiar and stunning figure.

The young girl had eyebrows like distant mountains, bright and clear eyes, and was dressed in a light blue gown. Her slender ** were closed together, and she had no adornments on her body, resembling a pure water lily with a unique and ethereal aura.
