As soon as it got dark, Concubine Xiao asked someone to close the windows and doors, shrunk herself into a ball and covered herself with quilts, she was so angry that she shed tears.
In the past month, she has been worried every day, and her mood has not been good. She can't eat well or sleep well. She has lost a lot of weight. Thinking about that jade pendant.
I have suffered a lot along the way, and I have thought of ten thousand possibilities, but I have never thought of this one. Concubine Xiao was extremely wronged, lonely and helpless, crying loudly under the quilt.
A figure flickered in front of the window, and a gap opened with a creak. Seeing this, Xiao Yan picked up the teacup on the small stool and threw it towards the window.
Miss Xiao didn't hear the expected shattering sound, so she got into the quilt angrily, shrunk herself into a ball, seemed very angry, and yelled through the quilt, "Get out!"
Song Yan rubbed his nose, put the teacup on the table, feeling guilty and guilty, and even more heartbroken, ran all the way here regardless of his own safety.
Seeing that she was very angry, she stood under the window not daring to go any further, and refused to leave for a long time, just waiting for her to stabilize her mood.
After standing there for about an hour, the crying increased instead of stopping, with no intention of stopping at all, and finally coughed so much that his throat became hoarse from crying.
"Xiao Jiu..." Song Yan felt distressed, "I'm sorry."
Xiao Yu threw off the quilt, like a defeated rooster, with red eyes, she went down to the ground and stared angrily at Song Yan, and threw the pillow towards Song Yan fiercely.
"Get out for me. You broke into the women's boudoir in the middle of the night. It's extremely shameless. I don't know the little nine and ten you mentioned. You came to the wrong person and the wrong place."
Song Yan was hit by a pillow, so he didn't dare to hide, but looked at Xiao Yu worriedly.
Outside the door, Hong Xiu and Qing Yu listened to the movement in the room and looked at each other. Hong Xiu couldn't help but enter the door several times but was stopped by Qing Yu.
"Aren't you making trouble by going in at this time? Didn't Miss come to Xiyue to find Lord Hou?" Qing Yu resolutely refused to let Hong Xiu enter the door.
"But miss..."
"Miss's grievances and sorrows in her heart need to be vented. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell needs to be untied. None of us can help."
Hong Xiu gritted her teeth when she heard the words, and covered her ears with both hands, trying her best not to hear anything.
Inside the room, Xiao Yu's small chest was heaving up and down with anger, Song Yan raised his foot and took a step forward.
Xiao Yu quickly took a step back, "If you don't leave, I'll call someone."
"Xiao Jiu, don't be angry, I'm here, I will never resist if you want to beat or scold me." Song Yan tried to step forward, but Xiao Yu was still angry, how could she bear this, her eyes turned red immediately.
"Can you go or not!"
Song Yan stopped in his tracks, frowned tightly to see that she was crying so embarrassingly, her heart was broken, her intestines were full of remorse, and she wished she could give herself two slaps.
But Song Yan understood Xiao Concubine's temper, if she left, it would be even more difficult to coax her in the future, so she had to stay with the cheek to let her calm down.
"Let me tell you, when I go back to the prime minister's mansion, I will ask my father to choose a marriage for me, and I will marry anyone I choose..."
Concubine Xiao was very angry, the grievances and worries and fears accumulated for so many days, the moment she saw Song Yan, she exploded all of a sudden, crying and shouting loudly.
Song Yan couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Concubine, and hugged her tightly.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. Calm down. Beat or scold as you please. Don't spoil yourself."
Xiao Concubine struggled vigorously, but Song Yan just refused to let go, hugged Xiao Concubine tightly in his arms, buried his head in Xiao Concubine's neck, sniffing the fragrance, the restlessness in his heart disappeared instantly, as if he had obtained the fullness of the whole world .
Concubine Xiao kept crying uncontrollably, she opened her mouth and bit the back of Song Yan's hand, Song Yan hissed and let her bite, but he was relieved.
Xiao Yu tasted a bloody smell in her mouth, and her whole mouth was salty, and her waist was imprisoned by a big palm, and she couldn't escape at all.
After a long time, Xiao Concubine let go of her lips, and cast a fierce glance at Song Yan, who immediately accepted the supercilious look flattered.
"Xiao Jiu, my dear Xiao Jiu, it's good that your lord has a lot to calm down. I promise this is the last time. I will tell you as soon as possible in the future, so that you don't worry."
Song Yan stretched out three fingers to swear to the sky, with a serious face.
Concubine Xiao had cried enough, her anger subsided a lot, she snorted, "Then I want to get married, let my father find me a handsome one, even if I have no family background, as long as she is not ugly, she can influence me." I can keep it!"
Song Yan's face turned dark when he heard the words, and he looked down to see her sobbing, her eyes were wet with tears, but he couldn't harden his heart, so he took it as her venting his anger and accepted it willingly.
So he leaned forward with a cheeky face, and nodded seriously, "That's a good idea. You see, I look good and can make money. You don't need to pay money, why don't you think about me?"
Xiao Yu glared at Song Yan, "Bah! It's a good idea. I still want to live a few more years. I don't want to be pissed off. I want to find someone who is obedient."
"When did I refute what you said?"
Concubine Xiao blushed angrily at his thick skin, and stomped her feet, "I want to find an ugly one, one who has no money, good-looking and rich ones are not good, there are too many bad intentions."
Seeing that she wasn't as angry as before, Song Yan slowly talked with her to attract her attention and calm her anger.
"If you really want to, I will donate my family property later, and then wear a mask. If it doesn't work, you can do it twice."
Miss Xiao snorted, and glared at Song Yan displeasedly, only to hear Song Yan say again, "My family property is not much, only a hundred shops, ten thousand acres of fertile land, a million taels of gold, and the rest is a pile of broken copper and rotten iron. It’s annoying to take care of these antiques every day, so it’s better to let go of them.”
"No!" Xiao Concubine became anxious as soon as she heard it, she couldn't speak the words stuck in her throat, she could only stare at him, still looking angry.
Song Yan leaned forward with an innocent face, "Now I'm also a poor boy, don't you think it's disgusting?"
Song Yan wrapped one hand around Xiao Yu's slender waist, with a low and hoarse voice, "Xiao Jiu, don't get angry?"
Concubine Xiao snorted twice, after this time, her anger dissipated a lot, leaving worry and grievance, Concubine Xiao kept wiping tears with her small hands.
"It's all your fault. I've been terrified these days and never sent me a letter. When I saw that jade pendant..."
Xiao Concubine's tears became more joyful, sobbing, and Song Yan blamed himself even more when he heard the words, rubbing his palms on Xiao Concubine's fair cheeks.
After crying for a long time, Song Yan patted Xiao Concubine on the back to help her calm down. After this time, Song Yun also realized his weight in Xiao Concubine's heart, and cherished Xiao Concubine even more. She alone is enough.
After a long time, Song Yan leaned over and kissed Xiao Concubine's forehead, all the way down, kissing Xiao Concubine's delicate red lips like a dragonfly.
Xiao Concubine grumbled, and leaned back, Song Yan bent down to chase, as if addicted, he wrapped his big palm around Xiao Concubine's waist and pulled her forward violently, imprisoning her in his arms, bowed his head and carefully light kiss.
Soft, as light as a feather, carefully cared for, like a treasure in the palm of your hand.
Xiao Yu closed her eyes, only to feel the dense and overwhelming softness of her eyes. Song Yan's cold lips kissed her eyes, which were so numb that she couldn't help trembling.
"Woo!"
Xiao Yu bit her lip tightly, and a broken moan escaped from her mouth.
Song Yan hadn't seen Concubine Xiao for more than four months, and only after being away for a long time did he realize that all he was thinking about was her, and he loved her deeply and deeply.
When they met suddenly, Song Yan was a little overwhelmed with excitement. Seeing her crying in embarrassment and her eyes turning red, Song Yan felt more and more distressed.
Blowing in the ear, Xiao Concubine couldn't help shrinking, and laughed out loud, "Don't... tickle."
After a while, Xiao Yu's whole body became weak, and Song Yan's big palm held her tightly so that she would not fall down.
"Father-in-law said, take you and mother-in-law back and we'll hold a wedding."
Song Yan didn't dare to kiss again, fearing that the longing for many days could not restrain her from taking her as his own, he said in a hoarse voice, his tone was both helpless and angry.
Xiao Concubine's anger was more than half smoothed out. Hearing what he said, he suddenly thought of something, "How could the prince of Xiyue look so similar to you? I guess he won't be able to leave for a while. The Rong family owes Mrs. Rong Yue too much."
So Xiao Concubine told Song Yun about Rong Yue, and Song Yun squinted his eyes, and told Xiao Concubine about his life experience.
Xiao Yu's eyes turned red, and the tears fell again. Song Yan looked at her in a hurry, confused.
The next moment Song Yan's neck was hugged tightly, Xiao Yu said with a choked voice, "Why are you so pitiful..."
Song Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Xiao Yu's back, Xiao Yu's anger completely disappeared, and she cried like a helpless child.
After a long time, Xiao Yu could hardly keep her eyes open, Song Yan picked her up and put her on the couch, but Xiao Yu tightly clasped Song Yan's arm with one hand, not letting him leave.
Song Yan took advantage of the situation and stayed, while quietly stroking Xiao Concubine's back, protecting her in his arms, and softly coaxing her to sleep.
Unknowingly, Song Yan also closed his eyes, took a shallow breath, and smiled contentedly at the corner of his mouth.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Concubine was awakened by a kiss, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified version of a handsome face, and her little face flushed instantly.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Song Yan put one hand behind his head, and glanced at Xiao Yu leisurely, "There is nothing wrong with the left and right, and by the way, think about how to return to Dongming as soon as possible."
Xiao Yujiao glared at Song Yan, then looked at the sky, and said anxiously, "Hurry up, people will see you later."
Song Yan shrugged, a few maids outside the door had been guarding the whole night, and they knew it already, otherwise they wouldn't have come in at this hour to take care of freshening up, only Xiao Yu was kept in the dark.
Song Ye got up, and there was still a lingering fragrance on his hands, which belonged to Xiao Yu's faint fragrance. Before leaving, Song Ye whispered a few words in Xiao Yu's ear.
Xiao Concubine narrowed her eyes and nodded sharply, "That's a good idea, I'll go find Rong Yue right now!"
Seeing her excited appearance, Song Yan smiled a little, cleared his throat, and swaggered away from the window. The maids pretended not to see her.
Xiao Concubine looked for Rong Yue with red eyes, Rong Yue was startled, and kept staring at Xiao Concubine, seeing that she was obviously different from the previous few days, and recalling what she said yesterday, she probably guessed a thing or two.
"I... I didn't sleep well last night." Xiao Yu felt a little guilty, her eyes were evasive.
Rong Yue smiled, and did not try to expose her, she nodded after listening to Xiao Yu's suggestion, "This is a good idea, if the crown prince can lend a helping hand, it would be great."
Ask Dong Ming to send out a letter, and Concubine Xiao will come forward to present a small gift instead of Dong Ming to show Dong Ming's sincerity.
But Rong Yue missed his relatives and came back to visit on purpose, and this time Xiyue and Dongming teamed up, no one would dare to say anything.
Song Yan's speed was very fast. On that day, Song Zhan raised his mouth in front of all the courtiers, saying that the two of them were already on their way.
When everyone heard the words, they all praised Rong Yue's skills, and asked the right minister to personally send his prostitute's daughter, which shows that Rong Yue has a certain status in the right minister's heart.
"Slap!"
The tea cup in Mrs. Zhang's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several petals, and she looked at the maid in disbelief.
"You said Rong Yue is going back to Xiyue to visit?"
"Ma'am, this matter has already spread. The eldest lady will arrive in Shengjing within two days, and His Highness ordered Madam to make preparations early, saying that the eldest lady will live in the Rong Mansion."
After the maid finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang's complexion was as ugly as if she had eaten two catties of arsenic, and she was stunned.
"Mother, is it true that Rong Yue is coming back?" Rong Ling came running slowly, her little face full of anger.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Rong Ling, she was still in a daze, and she returned to China with her own princess for a visit, and was accompanied by the right minister's daughter, this was definitely the first time in history.
"Second Miss, it's true. Eldest Miss will arrive as early as tomorrow afternoon."
Rong Ling's small face was distorted when she heard the words, and she glanced at Zhang Shi, "Mother, I don't want Rong Yue to live in the mansion, I finally left, I feel upset just looking at it, don't let her enter the Rong mansion."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Rong Ling, "Ling'er, today is different. Today's Rong Yue is not the one who was abused at will, but she was conferred the title of princess. Besides, His Highness has ordered her to live in Rong's house." .”
When Rong Ling heard that it was the Prince's order, she curled her lips, "Then stay in the guest room, anyway, I won't let Zhongling Pavilion."
Zhong Ling Pavilion used to be Rong Yue's courtyard, after Rong Yue left, Rong Ling moved in and took over Zhong Ling Pavilion, that courtyard was much better than Rong Ling's original one, and it was the sign of the eldest daughter, so Rong Ling beat her to death They all refused to give in.
It took Zhang a long time to come back to her senses, "Rong Yue is already married, and according to the rules, returning home to visit relatives is a guest. Madam Li, prepare the reception hall."
"yes!"
Mrs. Zhang rubbed her swollen head, the news was so sudden that she didn't even have time to prepare.
Rong Yue's coming back this time must have been a bad one. According to Rong Yue's temperament, it will inevitably disturb the rest of the Rong family and the whole family. Zhang's headache will come when he thinks about it.
"Mother, Rong Yue is already married, why come back?" Rong Ling was displeased, wishing that Rong Yue would die outside as soon as possible.
But after thinking about it, Rong Ling's cheeks were tinged with shyness, and she might still be able to contact His Royal Highness at that time.
Mrs. Zhang was worried, so she didn't notice Rong Ling's strangeness at all.
At this moment, Nanny Li came over, "Ma'am, the two ladies of the Liu family are here."
After the words fell, two middle-aged women came forward one after the other, with smiles on their faces, Zhang's brows twitched, and his face sank.
These two are not easy to get along with, they are both Rong Yue's aunts, and they came to the door as soon as they got the letter, which is really fast enough.
"What kind of wind is this? The two ladies are really rare visitors."
Mrs. Zhang stood up with a half-smile and looked at the two of them. These two people have always been useless, and they haven't been to Rong's mansion once in eight hundred years. The last time was because of Rong Yue's marriage, because Rong Yue was a substitute. The fifth princess is getting married, so there is no need to prepare a dowry, and the dowry prepared for the fifth princess is also rich enough.
This gust of wind blew into the Liu family, and the two Madam Liu came to the door immediately, first they questioned the Rong family for treating Rong Yue badly, they didn't even send a letter to the Liu family for such a big matter of marriage, they made many detours, and talked about Rong Yue's dowry.
The Liu family thought that since Rong Yue didn't take the dowry away, it should be returned to the Liu family. Such a large amount of dowry would never be returned by the Zhang family, so the three of them had a dispute.
In the end, the quarrel was very unpleasant, and the Liu family released rumors, saying that Zhang's heart was small and intentional,
Zhang was so angry that he had no choice but to give in and split Rong Yue's dowry in two, one half was handed over to the Liu family and the other half was confiscated, saying that it was a discounted money and given to Rong Yue.
Seeing this posture, the two Mrs. Liu knew that they would not get everything, and if they continued to make trouble, it would not be good for them, so they nodded and took half back, and they have not communicated since then.
As for the remaining half, all fools knew that it went into Zhang's pocket, and it would be impossible for the money added to Rong Ling's dowry in the future to be converted into silver and given to Rong Yue, but everyone tacitly did not mention it.
