Of course, she had also swallowed down this grievance, knowing full well she had no right to be unreasonable. It was natural for Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong to consummate their marriage, and Song Yanqing never spent the night with Xie Ruotong in her presence, which was already giving her the utmost respect. She absolutely must not beco a jealous woman. During her ti at the Song Residence, she saw no emotional progress between Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong. She thought to herself, Song Yanqing’s return to the Duke Mansion was due to his grandmother’s coercion, so she tried not to be petty, even thinking that if Song Yanqing did consummate the marriage with Xie Ruotong but remained indifferent towards her, she need not worry.
But today.
It had irritated her.
When Song Yanqing had just returned to their room and saw Qin Shuyang treating Xie Ruotong that way, she clearly felt Song Yanqing’s anger. When he swiftly walked over, she also distinctly felt Song Yanqing’s protective attitude towards Xie Ruotong. She deliberately brought up tonight’s affairs, wanting to gauge Song Yanqing’s attitude, clearly, Song Yanqing still cared sowhat about Xie Ruotong.
Thinking about this past month, Ming Yufang had also praised Xie Ruotong endlessly, entrusting her the managent of household matters. Xie Ruotong’s status in the house rose higher and higher, although Song Yanqing only doted on her, the servants seed to respect Xie Ruotong more, not paying much attention to her.
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt inside.
She absolutely could not let Xie Ruotong continue developing this way.
Xie Ruilin’s eyes tightened, a hint of malice flashing in her gaze.
Since soone fancied Xie Ruotong.
She would just push the boat along, why not?!
...
After leaving Xie Ruilin’s courtyard, Song Yanqing also intended to go directly back to his room.
But he stopped at the intersection.
After thinking it over, he moved towards one side, walking to Xie Ruotong’s courtyard.
Qiao’er opened the door.
Seeing Song Yanqing coming to their courtyard late at night for the first ti, she was so excited she was beyond words, just staring at Song Yanqing forgetfully for a long ti.
"Has the young madam gone to sleep?"
"She has just gone to bed, I will go wake the miss imdiately," said Qiao’er, quickly turning around and leaving.
Song Yanqing didn’t even call her back.
He thought, if Xie Ruotong was asleep, he wouldn’t disturb her.
After contemplating, he proceeded to walk into Xie Ruotong’s courtyard.
Walking into her room, he saw Xie Ruotong casually draped in an outer garnt, still wearing a white silk nightgown underneath, and for a mont, images of their ti at the Duke Mansion suddenly flashed before his eyes.
He shifted his gaze slightly.
"My lord, do you need anything this late?" Xie Ruotong asked.
Qiao’er really wished she could speak for her mistress.
So late at night, of course, it was to stay the night.
At this mont the mistress should eagerly co forward, cling to the young master’s arm, help him onto the bed, and then...
"The young master must be tired, Qiao’er will imdiately prepare water for you to wash up and rest," Qiao’er hurriedly said.
She really was taking to heart the matter of the young master spending the night in the mistress’s room.
"I will not rest here," Song Yanqing stated directly.
Qiao’er appeared overly shocked.
"Qiao’er, you may leave," ordered Xie Ruotong.
She didn’t want Qiao’er to get ahead of herself.
She knew well, Song Yanqing’s visit to her room wasn’t to spend the night.
Reluctantly, Qiao’er still left.
She really wanted to loudly tell her mistress to leap on him.
Leap on him!
This was such a good opportunity, it must not be wasted.
Qiao’er departed.
The room was left with only Xie Ruotong and Song Yanqing.
Song Yanqing stated directly, "Regarding today’s incident with Qin Shuyang, I’ve deeply considered it and thought it necessary to talk to you again."
"Please speak, my lord."
"During this period as you manage the household matters, you often need to go out. Inside the Song Residence, I’m not worried about Qin Shuyang doing anything to you, but once outside, you can’t be careless. I can’t vouch for Qin Shuyang, so when you leave ho to purchase goods or discuss affairs, bring soone with you," Song Yanqing said.
"Alright," Xie Ruotong responded.
Though she wasn’t particularly concerned about it.
After all, Qin Shuyang’s capability wasn’t enough to harm her in any way.
"I will find Qin Shuyang and warn him," Song Yanqing said, looking at Xie Ruotong, "Today’s incident must have aggrieved you."
After all, Qin Shuyang was his friend, and he was here because of his face.
Qin Shuyang’s improper actions towards Xie Ruotong were also his responsibility.
