After Song Yixiao finished breakfast that day, she intended to send Qiaoqin out to inform the Wei Family as she said, “You relay what Lu Guanlun said to Cousin Chan clearly. Tell her that I can’t do anything to help her out. If her family members are also at a loss as for what to do, she will have no choice but to do as Lu Guanlun said, finding a random excuse to break off the marital engagement!”
Fearing Wei Chan would take her words to her heart, she added, “Fortunately, she is not of the hairpin age yet, who can afford to wait for another two or three years before officially getting married. As always, gossips prevail in this capital city constantly. However awkward she feels right now, nobody will remember what happened to her two or three years later. Even if someone does, she won’t be affected at all since the time will be different then. After she overcomes the difficulty this time, she may find someone that respects her much in the future. Anyway, please let her
Song Yixiao resolved her husband’s spite with the badger game and wanted to take the opportunity to bring up the personnel issue in the mansion. Unexpectedly, while she was still pondering over the wording, here came a knock at the door. Jinxun reported nervously, “Your Highness, Madam, Miss Wei Chan is kneeing outside the back door with her maid, begging Madam to take them in!”“Chan?” Song Yixiao was stunned and immediately tried to get out of Jian Xubai’s arms. However, he tightened his arms to prevent her from leaving, shouting impatiently via the door, “The mansion is so big. Why don’t you let her settle in a room? How come you must report everything? Do you have brains?”Jinxun didn’t dare to rebuke.Although Wei Chan was Song Yixiao’s cousin, since she was in trouble and rushed here to ask for help, without the permission of the master or mistress, how dare the servants to let her in randomly? Not to mention settling her down in the mans
Jian Xubai dealt with his work hurriedly and then returned to the backyard.As he found that Song Yixiao hadn’t come back, he went to take a shower first.After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom and still didn’t see his wife. He couldn’t help feeling disappointed.However, he was aware of Wei Chan’s trouble. Since she was weeping and wailing, it was indeed not easy for Song Yixiao to comfort her. Hence, he leaned against the bed and started to read a book, intending to give his wife a reminder when she came back. Pathetic as Wei Chan was, in light of what Lu Guanlun said, she asked for it herself. How could a virtuous wife leave her husband alone in the bedroom for comforting her cousin?Unexpectedly, as he read most of the book and it was late at night, Song Yixiao was still not back!“Does she just stay in Jiangxing Villa for the night because of her cousin?” Thinking of this, Jian Xubai was in a fret. He t
Wei Chan was pushed into the side yard, with messy hair, red eyes and untidied clothes. Jian Xubai was waiting for her. How dare Ji Su give her enough time to do any make-up!After seeing clearly Jian Xubai sitting on the seat of honor, this 13-year-old girl still was frightened with terror, as pale and weak as a flower in the stormy rain. Even though she was not very beautiful, she looked very delicate and charming now.Pitifully, Jian Xubai didn’t care about it at all. He glanced at her coldly without even offering her a seat, asking bluntly, “What did you say to your cousin? She cried for a long time after going back to the bedroom!”“It is not a secret that you love Yixiao.” Wei Chan was dazed. Suspicion and despair were lingering on her face at first, which turned into derision, “In light of your identity, if you want to fulfill filial duty for Yixiao, just do it. Why do you bother to find an excuse?”“Fulfill filial duty?” Ji
Song Yixiao had tremendous mood swings and cried her eyes out yesterday. Moreover, no one woke her up, so she didn’t awake until nearly noon.She was not completely sober yet when she heard a surprised voice from her bedside, “My dear daughter! You are finally awake! How do you feel now? Are you hungry? Here, have some water first!”Song Yixiao was fed with some water in a daze, making her able to voice out. Then she asked in surprise, “Mother, why are you here?”The well-dressed woman sitting on the embroidered chair by the bed was her birth mother, Wei Mengying, who heard Song Yixiao’s question and then tucked her in without replying to her. Instead, Ms. Bo, standing behind Wei Mengying answered the question on behalf of her mistress, “Her Highness hears that you are ill so she just hurriedly rushes here!”She added, “Her Highness arrived around 10 a.m. and has stayed here by your side for 2 hours. If it had not been for that Qia
Song Yixiao sneered, “Whether she was rewarded with evil for evildoings or she died for her inexpiable sin, both have nothing to do with the Wei Family or you, right?”It was generally believed that the Wei Family or Wei Mengying must be the ringleader for Madam Liu’s wrongful death.Even if Song Yixiao stepped up and confessed, people would maintain that belief. After all, she was only eight years old back then!If others dared to blackmail her with this matter, it was still reasonable. Yet, since it was her mother, what did she fear?“You have grown up indeed!” Wei Mengying stared at her with a complicated countenance, “I am sorry for you that you should have to play as an obedient girl before me for so many years!”By “grown-up”, Wei Mengying actually meant that Song Yixiao got wildly out of wing. Song Yixiao got it and didn’t deny at all. Her mother was best at making use of every single space. If she appeared slig
After making sure her mother had left and wouldn’t return, Song Yixiao let out a sigh and fell on the cushion!During the conversation, she seemed to be determined and confident enough to turn the table, press on at every stage and have everything under control. In fact, if Wei Mengying just wouldn’t surrender, how could she really leave her mother and brother to the disposal of Qiu Shuxia?Luckily, Wei Mengying finally gave away.Song Yixiao knew that her mother might see through that she was not very determined. The reason why Wei Mengying would surrender should be for her motherly love for Song Yixiao.However...“Mother also reminded me of keeping an eye on my husband so as not to bring trouble on myself.” She muttered to herself with a bitter smile, “Does she really care about me or just want to make me feel this way?”Anyway, Wei Mengying was her mother. Even with the knowledge of previous life and t
Song Yixiao pondered and said, “I’m noted. Tell the kitchen staff to add several more dishes tomorrow.”After Jinxun left, Yuan Xue’e noticed that no strange maids were found in the room, asking in confusion, “Why are you so close to the Su sisters? My brother tells me that the Su Family and we are not on the same side.”“It is hard to explain in a few words!” Song Yixiao smiled bitterly and shook her head.Yuan Xue’e recognized that she didn’t want to talk in detail, so she puckered her lips and said in a mild tone, “The Su sisters are not ill-natured indeed. Especially the Seventh Lady, Su Shaoling, is educated, reasonable and considerate. However, the matter of stance has nothing to do with character.”“Of course I know that.” Yuan Xue’e was her childhood friend and Song Yixiao knew that she must think for her sincerely, so she decided not to avoid explaining. Song Yixiao had to hint the maids to leave, saying in a low voice, “B
After scolding Jinxun, Song Yixiao reluctantly calmed herself down and made her leave for introspection with a wave!“Madam, yesterday the Su sisters submitted a visiting card, saying that they would pay you a visit today.” Qiaoqin didn’t dare to come in to remind Song Yixiao until now, “By estimate, they will arrive soon. Would you like to go back to the inner chamber first?”“Yes, I’m going back!” Song Yixiao heaved a sigh and said, “When they arrive, you receive them on behalf of me in advance. You should know what to say or what not to say.”Qiaoqin hastened to take the order.After a bowl of tea’s time, the Su sisters arrived as expected.“You were well when we met two days ago. How come you are ill now?” Upon entering the door, Su Shaomo said bluntly, “I thought that you only looked dainty and weak. Yet, you turn out to be really weak indeed!”Su Shaoling couldn’t stop her in time...Act
