Chapter 26: Returning home with the wife and the concubine

"A-choo..."

In Qingshuang Courtyard.

The maid was carefully applying medicine to her when she suddenly sneezed, causing her buttocks to tremble in pain.

"Are you going to kill me?"

An Yinyin grabbed something nearby and threw it at the maid, grievance making her grit her teeth.

Although she was living in the Duke's Mansion, she had been pampered since she was a child. When had she ever been humiliated like this?

Turn your head.

She glared gloomily at the next door, where Song Jinhuai now lived. The originally small courtyard suddenly became crowded. While lying on the bed, she kept thinking that she could not let this disadvantageous situation continue and had to find a way to change it quickly.

then.

She deliberately lowered her voice and began to cry softly.

Song Jinhuai was drinking the water fed by the maid. When he heard her crying softly, he felt heartbroken. He endured the pain and got up, stumbled out of the door, and entered An Yinyin's room.

"Huai Lang."

Seeing him being led over, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, as if she didn't want him to see them, but her half-dry, half-wet eyes looked at him expectantly.

Song Jinhuai walked quickly forward and held her hand tightly.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer. I will get it back for you."

An Yinyin nodded hurriedly.

"Well, I believe Huai Lang, but I really can't swallow this."

Who says it isn’t?

Song Jinhuai gritted his teeth. No one could swallow this humiliation. It was really damnable. He was a prince, but he was beaten to a pulp by his own servants, while the culprit Chu Jiuning was not hurt at all.

"Tomorrow is the day Chu Jiuning returns home."

An Yinyin appropriately expressed her envy, which aroused Song Jinhuai's pity.

"If she wants to go back, she can go back by herself. I'm injured and can't leave."

Just saying.

The door was pushed open.

Gu Shanxing, the personal servant, rushed in, opened his mouth to say something but didn't know how, with a look of embarrassment and fear on his face. Seeing his expression, Song Jinhuai said angrily.

"Say what you want to say quickly."

Gu Shanxing then stepped forward and spoke cautiously.

"My Lord, I don't know who started these rumors, but they're all over the place. They say you're trying to cheat me out of my marriage and my money, and that you've had an affair and have a child with someone, but you're unwilling to marry her because she's poor..."

"Bang……"

Song Jinhuai raised his hand and swept An Yinyin's medicine bowl to the ground. He was so angry that his breathing became rapid.

"Besides, there are still bets outside."

"What's the bet?"

An Yinyin also endured the pain and knelt on the couch.

"Betting on whether the prince will accompany the girl surnamed Chu back tomorrow, the day of returning home."

"You're bringing up this kind of thing?"

Song Jinhuai roared, but An Yinyin rolled her eyes and reached out to touch Song Jinhuai's shoulder.

"Huai Lang, didn't you hear what he said? There's betting going on outside."

"kindness."

This is not a good thing.

"Go back with her tomorrow."

An Yinyin's words made Song Jinhuai raise his face suddenly, and An Yinyin then sneered.

"Let's take out all the money and go out to buy some to accompany our parents back tomorrow."

An Yinyin said this to her maid Caidie.

"Go, find all the silver and go out to place your bets, but don't let anyone know you're from the Duke of Song's mansion."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Caidie hurried towards the inner room, and An Yinyin asked Gu Shanxing again.

"How many times the bet?"

“It seems like seven times.”

Now, not only An Yinyin widened her eyes, even Song Jinhuai became excited. Seven times, are the odds so high?

It seems that he is certain that he will not accompany Chu Jiuning back?

"Shanxing, go find all the silver. There should be a few thousand taels left. Go place your bets quickly."

Seven times.

If it's five thousand taels, after tomorrow, you can win back tens of thousands of taels, which is like giving money to yourself.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Caidie and Gu Shanxing disguised themselves and each took several thousand taels of silver and secretly left the house through the back door.

"besides."

A hint of viciousness flashed in An Yinyin's eyes, and she held Song Jinhuai's hand tightly.

"Huai Lang, take me and the child back to the Chu family."

"Let's go back together?"

Song Jinhuai's eyes lit up.

This is really disgusting and stinging.

It was clearly his and Chu Jiuning's turn to return home, but he took his wife and children with him. This must have made Old Man Chu so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. It would have been even better if he had died of anger on the spot.

Think about it.

Tomorrow morning.

He took An Yinyin and the child out. I wonder how good Chu Jiuning's expression must have been, haha.

Thinking of this, they both became happy and gave orders to their servants.

"Go, get some medicinal soup. Let's have a good meal, then have a good sleep and go out full of energy tomorrow."

"yes."

Then the maids came in and out to serve. About an hour later, Caidie and Gu Shanxing came back and said that the bet had been placed, and the odds were confirmed to be seven times, and they were betting on returning home together.

When An Yinyin heard Caidie say that Chu Jiuning's newly renovated courtyard had been moved into by Song Ruier, she pouted her red lips for a moment.

"Huai Lang, Jin Bao actually needs a better courtyard. After all, he is the only child in our Song family. We need to let him know that we value him."

before.

Whatever Song Ruier has, she will definitely have. Later, when she had Jinbao, she had even more things than Song Ruier, and this time was no exception.

"kindness."

Song Jinhuai nodded.

It’s just a courtyard, Chu Jiuning can easily create it.

He has always wanted to open a polo field. He has found a place, but he is short of money. The other party said that if he doesn't pay next month, he will sell it to someone else.

In the capital.

If a young man has a polo field, it would be a great honor.

When his brows furrowed, Song Jinhuai felt a little annoyed for a moment.

Chu Jiuning was obviously obedient to him and loved him deeply, so how could she suddenly become so inconsiderate?

Could it be that someone around her is angry?

The old woman named Madam Hong flashed through his mind. It was obvious that the old woman was not someone who was easy to get along with. And there was also that person named Amber, and he had to find a way to deal with her... Narrowing his eyes, he thought, maybe the matter of opening a polo field could be bet on these two people?

"Go see what Chu Jiuning and the others are doing."

Song Jinhuai instructed Gu Shanxing, and Gu Shanxing turned around and ran out. When he was about to reach the bridal chamber, he climbed up a tree and watched from afar.

Amber was just coming back from outside. When she looked up, she saw something on the tree. Without saying a word, she ran to the tree, grabbed the trunk with both hands, and pulled it up hard.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Gu Shanxing was looking into the yard when he suddenly found that the tree trunk was moving. Looking down, he saw that Amber had pulled the tree out with his bare hands and was swinging it left and right.

"Stop, stop, I'll fall to death, ahhhh... bang..."

Watching Gu Shanxing's entire body plunge straight into the water, creating heavy splashes, Amber finally clapped her hands in satisfaction.

I haven't used this strength properly for a long time.

Crash.

Gu Shanxing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He emerged from the water, wiped off the water, and looked over here hurriedly.

Amber saw it.

Why.

Do you still dare to provoke me?

Then he grabbed the pulled-out tree with his bare hands, bared his teeth and threw it into the water.

Gu Shanxing had previously refused to believe that someone could pull out a hand with bare hands, but when he suddenly saw it, he felt his scalp tingling and he dived into the water without caring about anything else.

With a bang.

The big tree crashed into the water, and the water in the entire small pond churned up, pushing Gu Shanxing far away and throwing him into the water plants.

Gu Shanxing was terrified when he was entangled by the water plants.

"snort!"

Amber snorted coldly and went back to the yard without looking back.

Chu Jiuning was leaning on the cushion by the window, watching Amber hitting people from a distance. Seeing her come back, Chu Jiuning smiled.

"Well done, there's a reward!"

"Miss, please don't give me a reward. I already have tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Amber grabbed the kettle and started drinking. Linglong and Mingtang also laughed while counting the list.

"Yes, I sent some of it back, and I deposited the rest in the bank."

"Miss, if you say you will return home tomorrow, will Prince Song go with you?"

Drink the water.

Amber pulled a small stool and sat next to the couch, and Linglong glared at her.

"It's better not to follow. The old man doesn't like him."

Mingtang also nodded. This man was disgusting no matter how he looked at him. He showed his true face before even entering the door. He was not willing to pretend anymore.

Chu Jiuning moved, held her face with her hands, and said lazily.

"I should follow."

After hearing her words, the three maids looked disappointed and put things down heavily when they were working.

Chu Jiuning looked at them, pursed her lips slightly, and went to bed early when it got dark.

In the morning.

The Chu family's carriage was waiting at the door early. The carriage was large and magnificent, with four separate seats inside, plus a soft couch, and a low table in the middle so people could sit or lie down. Four tall and mighty snow-white horses were lined up neatly.

Chu Jiuning asked Qingsong to guard the yard and went out with Amber and the others.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he heard Song Jinhuai's voice behind him.

"As a wife, you didn't even inform your husband about such a big thing as returning home. Is that right?"

Song Jinhuai limped down the stairs slowly, supported by servants.

"I'll go back with you."

Said.

Another graceful figure appeared at the door. Song Jinhuai looked over and his eyes suddenly softened.

"Yinyin and Jinbao, both go back with you."

An Yinyin was also supported by two maids, and Jinbao was held by someone. Both of them were wearing new clothes, and the same style as Song Jinhuai. The family of three appeared in front of Chu Jiuning together again.

An Yinyin showed a gentle smile on her face.

"I was the one who persuaded Huailang to go back with you, but Huailang couldn't bear to leave me and the child, so he insisted on taking us with him. After all, we are family, so it's okay to go together, right?"

Chu Jiuning glanced at them indifferently. The villain who succeeded might be referring to them.

No words.

He turned around and got on the carriage.

"etc."

Song Jinhuai stopped her.

"We have children with us and we are injured. Please let us take the carriage. You can sit in the back."

"Can."

Chu Jiuning still didn't care about them.

An Yinyin immediately smiled and couldn't wait to let the maid help her get into the carriage. After the family of three got into the spacious and comfortable carriage, even Song Jinhuai couldn't help but sigh that the life of rich people was really easy.

"Jiuning, just follow us."

An Yinyin lifted the curtain, stuck out her face, and spoke to her proudly. Chu Jiuning turned around and walked towards the ordinary carriage behind. Seeing that she was obedient, An Yinyin smiled freely in her eyes.

Along the way.

An Yinyin lifted the curtain so that passers-by could clearly see that it was her and Jin Bao accompanying Song Jinhuai, while the unfavored Chu Jiuning was sitting alone in the back.

Looking at the passers-by talking about her, she leaned into Song Jinhuai's arms, feeling more and more proud.

She did it on purpose.

Chu Jiuning wanted to show off her power in the Song Mansion, which made it difficult for her to move forward. She was obviously the daughter of Minister An and a respectable lady, so she needed help.

Someone will definitely tell the An family about what happened today. She has to find a way to make the An family recognize her, otherwise she will really be just a concubine.

Chu Jiuning crossed her legs, ate snacks, listened to the discussion, and followed them slowly. It didn't take long before she arrived at the door of the Chu Mansion.

The servants helped Song Jinhuai, An Yinyin and Jin Bao out of the carriage together. The three of them stood together, showing their love.

And Chu Jiuning.

One person came down, and one person walked slowly over.

The wind lifted her bright red dress. Song Jinhuai turned around and was stunned by her beautiful appearance. After a while, he frowned as if angry and stretched out his hand to her impatiently.

"Let's go."
