◎“What do you want?”◎
Chapter Five
Xie Lang looked down at her delicate, white fingers, thinking to himself that his new wife was indeed very different from what he remembered!
"What do you want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lang saw her face turn pale. For some reason, he grabbed her fingertips and said solemnly, "I didn't expect to take a concubine. I promised my mother-in-law that I would take good care of you in the future. When we got engaged, my mother also told me that in the future, there would only be you and me in the courtyard besides my child. Since I promised, I will definitely keep my word."
Liu Qingqing blushed.
What, what child...
Liu Qingqing was still in a daze when the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the Liu residence.
Granny Li didn't know what the young lady and the young master had talked about. She had left with a fierce and aggressive demeanor, like a tigress, but returned looking delicate and tender. Granny Li was filled with unease, but seeing the young lady's rosy and hydrated complexion, she didn't seem to have been upset.
She wasn't sure if something had just happened between the young lady and the young master. Perhaps it was a good thing, or so Li Mama thought! With the young lady's beauty, she could be a goddess in heaven, let alone someone as insignificant as Xie Lang.
As for the young lady Ying, she was good at acting. After the servants reported that the young lady's carriage was approaching, she quickly composed herself and put on a gentle and considerate demeanor to greet them at the gate of the mansion.
Seeing Liu Qingqing lift the curtain and help Li Mama down, Xiao Ying stepped forward with a smile to support Liu Qingqing, "We've been looking forward to your return. Your father, brothers, and sister all missed you very much."
As he spoke, he secretly sized up Liu Qingqing. She was as tender as a peach. She must have had a good time in the Marquis's mansion.
Of course I have to come back. And since I'm coming back, I'll make sure you, Miss, never leave.
Today she has carefully prepared a trap. Once Liu Qingqing steps into it, everything will be much easier in the future.
The two women, each lost in their own thoughts, entered the hall. Ju Huan quietly returned and nodded to Madam Ying. Madam Ying's anxiety subsided, and she then focused her attention on her elder sister's wonderful daughter, her beautiful stepdaughter.
She has such a noble and pampered appearance, like a flower bud that has just drunk its fill of water, just in its prime, just like her good older sister.
Like her beloved older sister who died young, she was so beautiful that one wanted to crush her. Just thinking about the pleasure of her tightly squeezing and crushing the soft petals, the sap overflowing between her fingers, made Xiao Ying's fingers twitch and tremble uncontrollably.
Liu Qingqing spoke very little along the way, and Madam Ying didn't seem to mind. But with Qingling's current haughty demeanor, she might be crying and scratching at the door later.
With great difficulty, Lady Ying managed to adopt the demeanor of a loving mother and asked with concern, "Have you consummated your marriage with the Crown Prince this time?"

(The word count is a bit lower now that it's on the list, but it'll be fine in a couple of days, thank you!) [Let me see]
