The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1476: Chapter 1471: Xiao Yu, You Don’t Deserve Love

Qin Wan sighed softly; she knew Madam Yin was distressed, but there was an untold secret weighing on Madam Yin’s heart, one that compelled her to insist on separating Xiao Yu and Miaoyan.

Miaoyan had once confessed to Qin Wan that after she was saved by that rustic villager, they had indeed shared a bed!

Xiao Yu must know about this.

Once a girl’s chastity is lost, even if her husband loves her deeply, the memory of it will always be a thorn in his heart.

It’s possible that because of this, Xiao Yu may gradually withdraw his affection for her.

By then, how will her tender daughter fare within the Xiao family?

—

Xiao Yu returned to Qilin Garden, where indeed preparations were underway for the journey back to the Xiao family’s residence.

However, it wasn’t as Xiao Yu had told Su Miaoyan; it wouldn’t disturb her rest.

Where he was present, she would definitely not be bothered by noise.

“Master, Rong Qing has vanished. He didn’t take any gold or silver but destroyed traces on site, leaving no trail. He likely has already escaped back to Beiling City,”

Shadow reported to Xiao Yu.

This was within Xiao Yu’s expectations, he twirled the jade thumb ring in his hand and ordered, “Send someone deep into Beiling, erase his identity and background, let him infiltrate Beiling as a spy. Without my direct command, he must not reveal any trace of himself, and only follow orders via the family master’s seal.”

“Yes.”

Shadow left to make arrangements.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu said icily, “Bring some wine.”

Shadow brought a case of wine. Xiao Yu, without asking for any side dishes, sat alone in the courtyard and started to drink by himself.

Moonlight casting upon him added a somber chill, three parts desolation and seven parts cold detachment.

Xiao Yu was, after all, a man of cold indifference.

Mu Qianya observed from outside the courtyard. She could tell that Xiao Yu was burdened by profound melancholy; drinking alone as if the tangle within him was too difficult to unwind by himself.

However, he no longer guarded against her, allowing her free access to Qilin Garden. She considered Xiao Yu a close friend and wanted to step forward to offer some comfort.

Before she could sit down, Xiao Yu commanded coldly, “Scram.”

If it had been anyone else, Mu Qianya would have taken the hint and left.

Xiao Yu, when provoked, was a tiger – a ruthless killer who would take a life without batting an eye, more merciless than the assassins from Silver Moon Pavilion.

But she now understood that Xiao Yu’s seemingly obsessive and bloodthirsty demeanor was just an act, a ruse in collusion with Chu Yihan to lull the enemy.

Deep down, he did not revel in bloodshed.

Nor did he enjoy killing.

He was a man with love in his heart.

Mu Qianya opened a jar of wine and toasted Xiao Yu, “You’ve achieved a great feat, and the Xiao family is once again graced with imperial favor. I should congratulate you and celebrate this occasion with you.”

She knew that with the emperor’s favor, Xiao Yu would certainly not forget his promise to her.

That very day, members from the Mu Family of Jiang Du City had made contact with her, acknowledging her authority as the Eldest Young Miss.

Meaning, her father was persuaded by Xiao Yu and had opened up an opportunity for her.

For her, this was indeed a joyous occasion worth celebrating.

However, Xiao Yu was far from happy, and even seemed deeply despondent and unable to pull himself out of it.

He leaned back in his wheelchair, staring at the sky, his eyes reflecting utter defeat.

Mu Qianya’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had sent Feng Ling back to sleep and stayed alone by Xiao Yu’s side, lowering her voice to ask, “Miaoyan didn’t come back with you, is it because the Marquis’s Manor didn’t let her return?”

She guessed that the Marquis’s Manor treated Su Miaoyan like a treasure, and after so much suffering, they would certainly not easily hand her back to Xiao Yu. Su Miaoyan so dearly loved her mother, she would certainly not bear to part with her and would make plans for her.

Xiao Yu lifted the jar of wine, gulping down half the jar into his mouth. After taking deep breaths, he muttered vaguely, “She won’t be coming back.”

“Why?”

“I… I sent the Marquis’s Manor a divorce letter.”

Xiao Yu laughed as he spoke, his laughter cold and thin, like that of a callous and heartless man despised by others.

Mu Qianya’s eyes widened, “How could you give her a divorce letter? You love her so much!”

Su Miaoyan was his life!

Throughout these days, whether feigned or genuine, Xiao Yu was half acting, half serious, but the one thing she could see was that his love for Su Miaoyan had not a shred of falsehood.

He would get jealous even if she spent a moment longer with Su Miaoyan.

How could he bear to divorce her?

“Ha… love her?” Xiao Yu emptied another jar of wine, and with force shattered the wine jar. The fragments flew everywhere; a piece scraped past his face, almost injuring his eye.

But in his eyes, there was only desolation, “People of the Xiao family do not deserve to speak of love.”

Nor do they deserve to be loved.

Especially the head of the Xiao family!

Xiao Yu, in this life, is unworthy of love.

Just as his father had said.

“You must never expose your weaknesses in front of others, let no one know what you cherish or favor. If you have weaknesses, no matter how strong you are, you can be breached. In this world, only those with a body of copper skin and iron bones will not be hurt, and only they have the power to protect the hundred years of prosperity of the Xiao family, and to sit firmly as the head of the Xiao family!”

The harsh voice of a man echoed in his ears.

He hated this man.

Utterly.

Yet he was the legitimate eldest son, a status coveted by others, one he could not cede.

When his mother died, this man didn’t shed a single tear, even frankly confessing to him, “I never loved your mother; these years we merely respected each other as guests.”

He swore at the time that he would take away the position of family head from him. He would also have a wife he loved, and he would never become a cold-hearted and heartless person like him.

But as that man left, he left behind these words, “Xiao Yu, your love is harm. If you can protect yourself completely, it will take the effort of a lifetime.”

How much energy does one person have to expend?

He had pondered deeply and imposed self-restraint and forbearance, but he could not hold back.

Who, upon meeting a lovely girl like Su Miaoyan, could restrain themselves?

He married her without a care for anything else, even feeling somewhat proud, wanting to boast before that cold-hearted and heartless man, for him to see that the head of the Xiao family could have a loved one, and live a happy and beautiful life.

Yet that man’s eyes revealed not a ripple. On his wedding night, he called him over and showed him a dagger.

That dagger was not fancy but was very sharp, with a crescent moon engraved on it. However, the carving of the crescent moon was strange, as though the original groove had been filled by something.

The man told him, “This dagger is my weapon for self-defense. In my youth, it protected me through countless hardships but once, it failed to protect me. It was a woman who used her body to take the fatal blow for me.”

After that woman died, he filled the groove on the dagger with her ashes, keeping her by his side forever.

“This is my love; this is the end of the person I loved.”

On the night of his wedding, this man he despised told him these words with a smile.

It seemed as if he was mocking him, and yet it also appeared like pity.
