He ran out again before he could even stand properly after returning to the mansion.

He thought he had already given in, and Song Ning would surely back down. But he didn't expect that not only did he not see her, but he was also left outside the door without even being told to come in.

Zhang Ping stood by his side, not daring to speak; the young master was very unhappy.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Linzhou finally spoke from inside the carriage: "Was I... too much?"

Zhang Ping coughed lightly: "Actually... the young mistress is still young, so the young master should indeed be more accommodating."

Given the young mistress's temper... if this continues, she might lose her wife.

Song Ning and Liu Yuelan were talking about this when they were inside the house.

Song Ning leaned against Liu Yuelan's chest and said helplessly, "Mother, I regret it."

"What do you regret?"

"I shouldn't have gotten married so early. I should have stayed at home for a few more years."

Liu Yuelan was startled: "You can't say things like that!"

Song Ning pouted: "I know, but... I never knew getting married would be so troublesome. I wish I hadn't gotten married."

Liu Yuelan was terrified by these words; her daughter really was... quite the surprise.

Song Ning stayed at home for three days before returning to the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's mansion has been in a state of panic these past few days, and Princess Jianing has even lost her appetite.

After Song Ning returned, the atmosphere at home finally improved a lot.

When Xie Linzhou returned home that evening, he saw the light on in his room and was overjoyed. He rushed in and saw Song Ning sitting at the table, as if waiting for him to come home.

He immediately suppressed his excitement, slowly walked over, and asked calmly, "Have you figured it out?"

"Um."

"Then tell me."

"I've thought about it. Anyway, we haven't been married long. If you really can't handle it, then let's get a divorce."
