Qiao’er stealthily left the crowd.
At this mont, outside the Song Family’s main gate.
Ming Yufang, Song Yanqing, Xie Ruotong, and Xie Ruilin had all not entered the house.
Xie Ruilin couldn’t help but open her mouth, "Wasn’t Elder Sister accompanying Mother to the temple fair? How could she have gone to the Ancient dical Hall instead? What for? I heard that Gu Xingchuan from the Ancient dical Hall is an old acquaintance of the Princess, right?!"
"Xie Ruilin, there are so words that should and shouldn’t be said; you’d best asure them. You know what they say about ’disaster coming from the mouth’; don’t drag our entire Song Family into trouble," Xie Ruotong spoke righteously.
Xie Ruilin’s face turned red from Xie Ruotong’s words.
Ming Yufang also clearly disapproved of what Xie Ruilin had just said.
She coldly glanced at Xie Ruilin, "Don’t talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, Lin’er spoke out of turn," Xie Ruilin quickly admitted her mistake, "I’m just very curious as to why Elder Sister would go and et Gu Xingchuan. Were Gu Xingchuan and Elder Sister also on good terms before because of the Princess?"
"I only went to the Ancient dical Hall to get dicine," Xie Ruotong explained, "Having shared the room with my husband for many days, I thought of getting so dicinal herbs to nourish my body. Praying to the Buddha is one aspect, but true effort is required to fulfill one’s wishes. And in the whole Xun City, the Ancient dical Hall’s herbs are the best. Plus, I indeed have so private friendship with Gu Xingchuan, so I went there."
"I’m not blaming you for getting the dicine," Ming Yufang’s tone was noticeably better, thinking that Xie Ruotong’s intention was for pregnancy so she didn’t want to pursue the matter, "Just rember to inform in person next ti before you leave, to prevent the household from being thrown into such unrest because of insensible maids."
"Yes, I will heed Mother-in-law’s teachings," Xie Ruotong said obediently.
Xie Ruilin secretly gritted her teeth.
Still not quite understanding what exactly was going on.
She couldn’t help but take another glance at Xie Ruotong, who looked as if nothing was amiss; her complexion was extrely unpleasant.
"If there’s nothing else, then quickly return to your rooms," Ming Yufang instructed, "Standing at the main gate like this is unseemly."
After dropping the statent, she walked inside first.
Xie Ruotong also followed into the Song Family’s main gate.
Xie Ruilin pretended to walk towards Song Yanqing, "Brother Yanqing, Elder Sister is alright, isn’t she?"
Song Yanqing glanced at the retreating figure of Xie Ruotong.
He said nothing.
Xie Ruilin could feel Song Yanqing’s emotions as well and quickly changed the subject while taking his arm, and stepped into the house.
Song Yanqing first accompanied Xie Ruilin to her room.
After sitting for a while, he then left.
Xie Ruilin felt sowhat annoyed.
Recently, Song Yanqing seed to be often away from her side.
That’s fine.
With Song Yanqing absent, she could truly understand the ins and outs of this incident.
And incidentally, take the opportunity to get rid of Fei Cui, that useless dead girl.
...
After leaving Xie Ruilin’s room, Song Yanqing went straight to Xie Ruotong’s room.
Xie Ruotong was undressing at this mont.
She was applying ointnt to her body.
The nurous bruises and bite marks were indeed rather grueso to look at.
Feeling soone entering,
Xie Ruotong hastily put her clothes back on.
Although still sowhat disheveled.
But by the ti Song Yanqing appeared in front of her, he could no longer see the condition of her body.
She calmly looked at Song Yanqing, forcing herself to be composed.
"You went to get dicine from Gu Xingchuan?" Song Yanqing asked.
Xie Ruotong’s eyes flickered.
Song Yanqing probably thought that she was secretly hoping to bear his child.
Therefore, she went to Gu Xingchuan for the prescription.
Even after taking the birth control soup, dicine to enable pregnancy.
At this mont, however, she seed too powerless to explain.
"Xie Ruotong, your thods are getting more and more abundant," Song Yanqing said with sarcasm.
"I don’t see anything wrong with it," Xie Ruotong replied leisurely as she straightened her sowhat disheveled clothes, "Unable to rely on a husband, one can only pin hopes on a child, otherwise, I’m afraid when I’m old, I’ll die without anyone to see off."
"Heh," Song Yanqing let out another cold laugh.
His expression showed disdain towards Xie Ruotong.
Yet his gaze uncontrollably lingered on her fingers, her slender fingers tidying her ssy clothes...
This woman.
This woman who had spent ti in a brothel.
Indeed knows better, how to tempt a man.
The scenes of last night, of Xie Ruotong on top of him, began to replay in his mind...
"Kill that thought; I will not let you give birth to my child," Song Yanqing swallowed his inner thoughts and spoke harshly.
Xie Ruotong never thought of bearing his child anyways.
And she knew Song Yanqing would say this.
So she remained indifferent.
She continued to tidily dress herself, and just as she was fastening the last button, her clothing was abruptly torn open again by Song Yanqing.
