Chapter 1415: Chapter 1402: Daring to Covet the Boss's Younger Sister_1 Chapter 1415: Chapter 1402: Daring to Covet the Boss's Younger Sister_1 “So it goes…”
Understanding the hinted message in Xu Wei's words, Su Zixuan agrees to oblige. After a moment of contemplation, he releases a refreshing smile, “I thank Zixuan in advance.”
“Ha ha ha.”
Xu Wei raised his eyebrows smugly, giving him a tacit wink, “As long as you're willing, I will visit him today to discuss this matter.”
“Thank you, Brother Xu.”
With a heart full of gratitude, Su Zixuan bows slightly, making a respectful cup-fist salute.
“There's no need for such formalities between us colleagues.”
Xu Wei extends an arm to lift him up, his gaze flickers momentarily, seemingly unintentionally glancing towards the backyard, “Your house seems to be full of guests today, why haven't I seen Ziqin?”
Without thinking twice, Su Zixuan shares honestly, “My sister left with Commander Xiao not long ago to inspect the accounts of various prefectures in the south, they should be in Jinling now.”
“Oh.”
Xu Wei smacks his lips a few times, revealing a somewhat disappointed expression.
“Brother Xu, please enjoy some tea in the living room.”
Unaware of his slight disenchantment, Su Zixuan extends a courteous invitation.
“No need.”
Not having met the person he wanted to see, Xu Wei's spirits were dampened, and he lost the interest in having tea, “You carry on with your work, I will go to Officer Li's house to settle this matter as soon as possible.”
“Let me see you out.”
Su Zixuan hurriedly follows after him, personally escorting him out of the mansion.

The noise of the front yard didn't affect the harmony of the back yard. The ladies gathered around the newborn baby, chatting and laughing at their leisure.
Li Xiu'e, holding her plump grandson, was in seventh heaven. Ye Xue'e, on behalf of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, brought generous gifts.
Lin Qingluo, along with her little pets, circled around the baby.
Six honey peaches formed a circle, watching with interest as the baby yawned and blew bubbles.
Little rascals Ruoxie and Little Yijing seized the opportunity when no one was looking and sneaked out of the courtyard to roam around the streets.
Yin'er kept track of their movements, timely reporting to their master.
Lin Qingluo smiled helplessly, allowing the two little ones to run wild without any restrictions.
“Sister Yu, since you're here, have dinner at home tonight. I'll make chicken stew with sealwort for you.”
Li Xiu'e, holding her grandson, felt the soreness in her arms after a while. Sister Wan took the baby from her, skillfully comforting it to sleep.
“Okay.”
Lin Qingluo sat next to Li Xiu'e, her arm affectionately entwined with hers, “I love the chicken stew with sealwort that you make.”
“If you like it, have more. I will stew two chickens.”
Li Xiu'e was pleased to hear this, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
“Sister Xiu'e.”
Ye Xue'e glanced at the gentle and amiable Sister Wan, expressing surprise, “Why isn't Niuniu back?”
“She has been sent a message.”
Ye Xue'e sighed somberly, “Her husband's family is far away in Mingshui County. The round trip takes at least three days. She can't come home often.”
“The Ai family in Mingshui County is a big household, with many rules and customs.”
Sister Wan, while soothing the baby, defended Niuniu without hesitation, “As she is the eldest son's wife, she has many domestic responsibilities and can't just leave on a whim.”
“That cunning lad Ai Hao, daring to court our eldest sister's younger sister.”
Pretending to be stern, Lin Qingluo chuckled, “If I wasn't busy with other things, I would never have let him so easily marry Niuniu.”
“Niuniu and him are in love.”
Sister Wan laughed teasingly, “Even if you were present, would you become the villain that stands in the way of their love?”
“Even if I didn't stop him, I would have been eager to give him a hard time.”
Lin Qingluo laughed unabashedly, “So he would realize that marrying a wife isn't so easy and would appreciate her more.”
