Upon hearing Bai Shuilian request divorce paper herself, Song Zhiqing’s first reaction was wondering if he was too useless, why one after another all thought of seeking to leave on their own, first it was the Lu family, now it was Bai family.
What, do they all look down on him?
Releasing a concubine was out of the question, the other had given him two children, if she really left with them, what would outsiders think of him?
Seeing Bai Shuilian crying with pear blossom tears, Song Zhiqing had no choice but to comfort her diligently.
"...It’s not that I’m tired of you, I’m genuinely busy, you know it too, it’s nearing the year’s end, Empress Dowager is like that, the Emperor has already reprimanded several officials in court, who would dare to be lazy and offend the higher-ups?"
Bai Shuilian cried pitifully, her voluptuous chest subtly brushing against him, which stirred a slight wicked desire in Song Zhiqing, dissipating half of his resentnt and suspicion.
"Good Lian’er, please stop crying, it’s all my fault, you can punish however you like, just don’t cry anymore, okay?" Song Zhiqing said, stroking her smooth neck.
Bai Shuilian raised her head: "Isn’t Third Brother just coaxing ?"
"Why would I coax you? Coaxing you won’t get two extra bowls of rice."
Only then did Bai Shuilian burst into laughter amid her tears, looked at Aunt Quan and said: "Go arrange so snacks and warm a pot of wine, I must punish Third Brother with three glasses."
Aunt Quan smiled and went to arrange it.
Looking at Bai Shuilian’s pitiful face, Song Zhiqing was montarily disoriented, old words echoed in his mind, his body slightly stiffened.
However, Bai Shuilian did not allow him to ponder further, while Aunt Quan was arranging drinks and snacks, she entered the inner room and changed into a water-red high-waist silk skirt, her hair partly knotted, exuding charm.
Song Zhiqing’s heart stirred, his brows lightly raised.
Aunt Quan had already brought people in, ward a pot of yellow wine, set a few small dishes, glanced at Bai Shuilian again, withdrew, and closed the door.
Bai Shuilian poured the wine herself and handed it to Song Zhiqing, coyly saying: "If Third Brother truly accepts punishnt, drink three glasses yourself."
"Ah?"
"I’ll dance a tune for Third Brother to entertain." Bai Shuilian cast a charming glance, flicked her long water sleeves, and began to dance.
Not to ntion, Bai Shuilian’s figure after childbirth did not add an ounce, still charming, yet as a mother, even more alluring, her waist twisting, not far from those professional dancers.
Song Zhiqing watched with great interest, sipping drinks while enjoying the dance, whatever the old words were was cast to the wind.
In the air, a bewitching fragrance mixed with wine aroma lingered, the room warm as spring and sumr, the beauty before him, intoxicating.
Song Zhiqing felt himself intoxicated, invited to dance together, as they danced, they ended up on the bed.
Aunt Quan stood at the outer door, listening to noises from the inner room, her mouth curled slightly before quickly straightening, calling a maid over to give instructions.
Soon after, Bai Shuilian called Aunt Quan for water.
Aunt Quan clapped her hands, the maids brought hot water, which she personally took into the inner room.
Bai Shuilian was tidying clothes, her expression slightly terrified, her complexion truly whiter than the outside snow, Aunt Quan frowned upon seeing.
"How is it?"
Bai Shuilian, pale-faced, said: "He has grown suspicious. Pri Minister Song ntioned the matter of the forr doctor Madam, thinking we are of the sa status. Mama, what should we do?"
Aunt Quan’s face darkened, looking at the snoring Song Zhiqing asleep on the bed, she gritted her teeth and spat two words: "Despicable."
