Xie Linzhou pulled him close, pulled him into his arms, and lay him down on the bed: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Song Ning was stunned. So, she really married Xie Linzhou yesterday?

Hmm~ How come she has no recollection of this at all?

She glanced furtively at Xie Linzhou, who had his eyes closed beside her. Was he angry again?

Sure enough, poor sleep severely affects mental state and memory.

"Xie Linzhou, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

She was so busy with her wedding and trip to the North that she hadn't slept for several nights. Yesterday, she was so tired that she felt like she was being manipulated and completely forgot about the wedding.

Xie Linzhou opened his eyes, looked at her without speaking, and after a long while he finally spoke: "I didn't even have a wedding night."

In other people's weddings, the bridal chamber is filled with warmth and softness, with the groom embracing his delicate and tender bride...

As a result, his wife fell asleep and was so asleep that she knew nothing, even forgetting the day they got married.

Song Ning felt increasingly guilty. It was a very important day for her to get married, and it was indeed her fault. She quickly tried to appease her, saying, "I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to, I was wrong..."

Xie Linzhou wasn't angry, just a little disappointed that Song Ning didn't remember anything from such a wonderful day yesterday.

However, he had to have a serious talk with Jiang Shuyue, telling her not to bother his wife again before setting off for the Northern Border.

Seeing that it was almost time, the two got up to greet Madam Xie and Princess Jianing and offer them tea.

Princess Jianing was hoping they would arrive later, but they arrived much earlier than expected, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The Xie family was all present. According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, when a bride serves tea for the first time, she must kneel and bow to her parents-in-law.

Princess Jianing quickly stopped her, saying, "Serving tea is fine, there's no need to kneel. We don't have these rules in our family. From now on, we're all family, so just be casual with us."

After serving tea to the elders and Xie Linzhou's two older sisters, they sat together and chatted for a while before being allowed to go home.

As soon as the two left, the old nanny returned from outside and gently shook her head at Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing sighed. Alas, when will she be able to hold her grandson?

"This old servant believes that the two of them slept together, but they did not consummate their marriage."

"Their relationship seemed pretty good, so why didn't they consummate their marriage?"

The old woman wasn't sure either, but she still comforted him, saying, "It seems that our young master is worried that the young mistress is tired and is considerate of his wife. Your Highness doesn't need to worry. It's only a matter of time before she marries into the family."

"Sigh, there's just no end to the worries."

The old woman chuckled, "Now that we have a young mistress in our household, why does Your Highness need to worry? Next year, Your Highness will definitely be able to hold your grandson."

These words struck a chord with Princess Jianing, who had longed for a grandson for many years.

After Song Ning and Xie Linzhou left the main courtyard, they returned to their own courtyard. Xiao Cui had stayed at the mansion the night before, and upon seeing the two return, she immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "General, Master."

"Xiao Cui? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Cui was taken aback: "Master, didn't I come with you yesterday? Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Did Xiao Cui come with her? Song Ning felt ashamed when she thought about how Xiao Cui looked yesterday.

"You don't need to stay with me, go and rest first, we'll go to the shop this afternoon."

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Okay."

The boss is still the same boss; she can't let go of her business even on her first day of marriage.

After Xiao Cui left, Xie Linzhou asked incredulously, "Are you going again today?"

"Yes, the clothing store is opening a branch soon. This time the store will be bigger. It was just finalized and it still needs renovation, so I need to keep a close eye on it."

Xie Linzhou understood everything, but today was their first day of marriage, and they were about to go out?

"We just got married yesterday."

"I know, but getting married shouldn't stop me from making money. I'm just staying at home with nothing to do anyway, so... why don't you come with me?"

She needs to get the branch of the clothing store up and running as soon as possible. She will be leaving with Jiang Shuyue in March, and then she will have even less time, so she will be very busy this month.

Xie Linzhou's face darkened; this was truly remarkable.

If he lets her leave this door today, he'll change his surname from Xie.

He simply hoisted the person up and, before bringing them inside, ordered his men: "Anyone who dares to come in and disturb us, beat them out with sticks!"

"yes."

The maids in the courtyard dared not utter a sound and quickly retreated.

"Thanks... um..."

Song Ning was a little flustered. Was this really a good idea to do this in broad daylight?

But the thought that she had fallen asleep yesterday and knew nothing made her feel guilty.

Anyway, it's bound to happen eventually, so it's not a big deal.

Not only did Liu Yuelan send those books to Song Ning, but Princess Jianing also sent her son quite a few.

Xie Linzhou felt like he had discovered a new continent and used all those tricks on Song Ning.

Last night's wedding night was practically nonexistent; we have to make up for it today.

Song Ning had no experience either. She thought it would be over soon, but she kept waiting and waiting until she was sleepy, and the person still wouldn't stop.

A pair of weak hands pushed: "Not done yet?"

Xie Linzhou buried his head in her neck, bit her earlobe, and then bit her shoulder, as if venting his anger, leaving teeth marks instantly.

She tried to persuade him several times, but Xie Linzhou remained silent, simply holding her and refusing to let her leave.

Song Ning couldn't take it anymore and pinched his arm: "Don't go too far."

Although her tone was fierce, in this situation, it not only lacked any intimidation, but also seemed somewhat coquettish to Xie Linzhou.

Xie Linzhou has never had a concubine or a maidservant before, and this is his first time experiencing matters between men and women.

I used to think this kind of thing was nothing special, that all those men couldn't resist it, and I didn't care at the time.

Today, I finally got to experience the joy of it.

It's not enough, it's never enough.

Song Ning gave up; she was now just a salted fish, at Xie Linzhou's mercy.

She was just lying there, but Xie Linzhou wasn't satisfied. He insisted that she make a sound, which was simply taking advantage of her.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Ning could no longer hold on and finally let go of the weight on her body.

I drifted off to sleep, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already sunset.

Xie Linzhou was no longer by her side. She sighed softly, thinking, "That damned Xie Linzhou."

She couldn't go to the shop today. Xiao Cui probably can't handle it all by herself. Tsk, beauty can be a trap.

......

The atmosphere at the Song family home was somewhat somber today. Song Ning had gotten married yesterday, and the house was noticeably less lively.

Liu Yuelan was distracted while working, Song Dahai sat at the door, lost in thought, and Old Mrs. Liu sighed as she picked vegetables.

With Yunniang and Xiaocui not home, Old Madam Xu wasn't as troubled as the others, but she still felt a sense of emptiness.

There wasn't a single person in the family to talk to.

Suddenly, the silence in the courtyard was broken by a knock on the door.

Liu Yuelan went out to open the door, and the first thing she saw was the person she least wanted to see.

"Moon Maiden, you..."

Before Madam Xu could finish speaking, Liu Yuelan slammed the door shut.

What bad luck!
