Oops! My Inner Thoughts Are Ruining The Plot

Chapter 9: Chapter

The moment Su Yueqing stepped into the dining hall, the atmosphere inside quietly changed once again.

The warm lantern light hanging above reflected softly against the pale blue robes she had changed into after returning to her courtyard earlier. The heavy bridal robes and grand phoenix crown were already gone, replaced by lighter silk clothing embroidered with delicate silver patterns along the sleeves.

Her long black hair was loosely pinned behind her with a jade hairpin, making her look less like a ceremonial bride and more like the future Young Madam of the Xi family.

And now that the bridal veil no longer covered her face—

Everyone could finally see her clearly.

Unfortunately for them...

She was far more beautiful than they had expected.

Even Xi Qianqian, who had spent the entire afternoon preparing herself mentally to dislike Su Yueqing properly, froze for a moment after finally seeing her face.

The hall quietly fell silent again.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing herself remained completely calm.

She walked forward with slow graceful steps, her expression cold and indifferent, like someone who truly did not care whether the people around her welcomed her or not.

Then suddenly—

A soft gentle voice sounded from behind her.

"Young Madam, please mind the step."

The voice was pleasant and soothing.

Almost instantly, Xi Wenxhe’s expression softened slightly.

It only lasted a second.

Very small.

Very subtle.

But this time, everyone noticed it clearly.

Old Madam Zhao Rui slowly narrowed her eyes.

Xi Ronghua immediately looked between Xi Wenxhe and the servant girl standing behind Su Yueqing before turning toward Gu Zhen with a meaningful expression.

Gu Zhen instantly looked away and pretended he had seen absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing slowly turned her head.

Standing behind her was a young woman dressed in the dark purple servant uniform belonging to the Duchess’s residence. Her black hair was neatly tied back, revealing delicate features, soft eyes, and long lashes that made her look especially harmless and gentle.

Two younger maids stood quietly behind her.

The moment Su Yueqing saw her properly, realization flashed through her mind immediately.

[Oh.]

[So this is Li Mei.]

The entire hall instantly became tense again.

Xi Yunhao straightened slightly.

Xi Lanyin slowly lowered her teacup.

Even Xi Jianyu’s cold gaze shifted toward Li Mei for the first time that night.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing calmly continued observing her.

[The famous Li Mei.]

[Future white moonlight of the Xi family.]

[Future emotional disaster.]

Xi Ronghua nearly choked on her tea.

Nearby, Gu Yue quietly leaned toward her twin brother and whispered nervously,

"Brother... this is honestly terrifying."

Gu Xing frowned while staring carefully at Su Yueqing.

"She sounds too certain."

Across the hall, Xi Qianqian quietly moved closer toward Xi Lanyin.

"Elder Sister..." she whispered softly. "Does she really know the future?"

Xi Lanyin stayed silent for a moment.

Because honestly—

She no longer knew what to believe anymore. freёweɓnovel.com

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing remained completely unaware of the growing panic spreading around the room.

Her eyes casually moved between Li Mei and Xi Wenxhe before her thoughts continued lazily.

[Ah.]

[There it is.]

[That soft expression men only use after they already start liking someone.]

Xi Ronghua immediately slapped Gu Zhen’s arm.

"Did you see that?!" she whispered aggressively.

Gu Zhen looked helpless.

"I saw it."

"And you said nothing?!"

"What exactly was I supposed to say?"

"That your nephew already looks lovesick!"

"Ronghua..."

Meanwhile, Gu Yue looked completely shocked.

"Cousin Wenxhe already likes her?"

Gu Xing frowned deeper.

"But how would Sister-in-law even know that?"

That single question immediately made the younger generation nearby fall quiet again.

Because that was the frightening part.

Su Yueqing had only entered the Xi Manor today.

She should not know Li Mei.

She should not know Xi Wenxhe’s reactions.

And yet—

She spoke as though she had already watched all of their futures happen before her eyes.

At the main table, Zhao Rui slowly exchanged a heavy look with Xi Jianyu.

For the first time since Su Yueqing entered the manor, the old woman’s expression became truly serious.

Earlier, they could still convince themselves it was all coincidence.

But now—

Even Xi Wenxhe himself was reacting exactly the way Su Yueqing described.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing calmly continued thinking to herself.

[Honestly, Li Mei really is beautiful.]

[No wonder Xi Wenxhe falls so hard later.]

[She looks gentle and harmless.]

[Like the type to stab someone politely while apologizing softly.]

Xi Yunchen immediately covered his mouth.

Xi Yunhao kicked his chair hard under the table.

"Stop reacting!"

"How am I supposed to stop?!" Xi Yunchen whispered painfully. "She sounds more terrifying every second!"

Little Xi Anran blinked curiously while staring at Li Mei.

Then she tugged lightly on Lin Meiyun’s sleeve.

"Mother..."

Lin Meiyun looked down gently.

"What is it?"

Xi Anran lowered her voice seriously.

"I think New Sister-in-law doesn’t like the pretty maid."

Lin Meiyun nearly choked.

Xi Qianqian instantly covered her face.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing finally looked properly toward Xi Wenxhe for the first time.

Tall.

Cold.

Handsome enough to create problems wherever he went.

The type of man who looked difficult to approach even while standing quietly.

Su Yueqing stared at him for another second before her thoughts continued calmly again.

[No wonder the original Su Yueqing became obsessed.]

[If I had a husband looking like this every day while emotionally ignoring me, I would probably lose my mind too.]

Xi Yunchen instantly bent over coughing violently again.

This time even Gu Zhen started coughing.

Xi Ronghua directly leaned against her chair, laughing silently while trying not to make noise.

Only Xi Jianyu’s expression became darker and darker.

Because now he finally understood why the rest of the family had looked mentally exhausted earlier.

Listening to Su Yueqing’s thoughts was genuinely overwhelming.

Meanwhile, Su Yueqing still had absolutely no idea.

Her gaze lazily swept across the family members one after another.

[The twins already look traumatized.]

[The second sister definitely loves gossip.]

[The aunt looks like she argues for fun.]

[Honestly... this family is kind of scary.]

Xi Ronghua immediately pointed at herself in disbelief.

"She can even tell that?!"

Gu Zhen sighed deeply.

"My wife... the entire capital knows that." fгeewebnovёl.com

Xi Ronghua slowly turned toward him.

"Husband."

"...Yes?"

"If you repeat that sentence outside this hall, I’ll bury you personally."

"Yes, dear."

At the side, Gu Yue slowly whispered toward Gu Xing again.

"Brother..."

"What?"

"I suddenly feel like the future of this family won’t be so good."

Gu Xing quietly stared at Su Yueqing for a long moment before answering softly,

"No."

He paused briefly.

Then corrected himself.

"I think the future of this family became bad the moment she entered it."
