Since Song Zhuxin had already said that, Yan Xiao naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Moreover, she herself felt that Song Zhuxin made a lot of sense. With her conditions, she was rich, beautiful and powerful. What kind of man couldn't she find?
Even if you wanted to support a hundred different male lovers, that would be more than enough, right?
Thinking this, Yan Xiao's gaze towards Song Zhuxin unconsciously carried a hint of envy. Wasn't this the life she had always wanted? She was practically a winner in life.
Unfortunately, she couldn't control her heart and accidentally fell into Shen Muzhi's hands. She probably won't have the chance to enjoy the bliss of having two wives in this lifetime.
Song Zhuxin had no idea what Yan Xiao was thinking, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she met Yan Xiao's gaze.
She dismissed it as her own imagination, ignored her discomfort, and chatted with Yanxiao for a couple more minutes.
As the time for parting approached, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, but she couldn't help but remind him in the end:
"Sister Yan, I sincerely wanted to befriend you, and now that we're calling each other sisters, there are some things I really have to say. If I've offended you in any way, I hope you won't be angry."
Yan Xiao's expression turned slightly serious upon hearing this, and she said directly:
"Sister Song, what are you saying? I'm not a petty person. Please just say what you have to say."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhuxin pursed her lips slightly, glanced at the door, and then whispered:
“Sister Yan, you and General Shen have a very good relationship as a young couple. There are some things I didn’t want to say, but people’s hearts are fickle. Many times, many people can share hardships, but not wealth.”
Although I believe in General Shen's character, his future status will be completely different. There are many alluring women, and besides, once he reaches that position, he can't possibly have only one woman by his side.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but I know your temperament, sister. You're definitely not the kind of woman who would willingly share a husband with another man, so I'm very worried about you.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao roughly understood what Song Zhuxin meant. She was worried that she would fall out with General Shen over the matter of taking a concubine, and she might even be worried that she would end up like her mother.
As Yan Xiao was thinking this, she saw Song Zhuxin hand her something. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was the mirror that her mother had left behind, the one that could travel through time.
Yan Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the mirror:
"Sister Song, what do you mean by this? You don't still think I'm like your mother, do you?"
Song Zhuxin's expression was serious, and her tone was sincere:
“I don’t know, but my gut feeling tells me you’re the same.”
She sighed softly, holding Yanxiao's hand with a wistful tone:
"I don't mean anything by it, I just hope that someone as dazzling as you can have everything go smoothly and not be let down, and that if you regret it, you will have a way out."
Yan Xiao is rarely moved, but upon hearing these words, her chest trembled slightly, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Although she didn't really need the mirror, she put it away as Song Zhuxin had asked, and after a pause, she replied with only two words:
"Thanks!"
Seeing that Yan Xiao had accepted the mirror, Song Zhuxin smiled again, but then she heard a questioning male voice in her ear:
"What escape route? What are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this voice, Song Zhuxin, who had her back to the door, immediately froze with a smile.
A fleeting hint of guilt crossed her eyes before she turned around, feigning composure. She then saw that besides Shen Muzhi, who was speaking, there was also Wei Wuxiu, whom she didn't really want to see.
Yan Xiao glanced at Wei Wuxiu, and seeing that he still looked calm and relaxed, she immediately looked away and turned to Chen Muzhi:
"We didn't talk much. Sister Song was leaving and came to say goodbye."
"What, you're leaving?"
The one who exclaimed was Wei Wuxiu. He had lost his previous leisurely demeanor and now looked somewhat anxious.
He realized his lapse in composure only after asking the question, a hint of annoyance and confusion flashing in his eyes, as he forced an explanation:
"I'm just a little surprised, why so suddenly?"
Whether he was saying this to others or to himself, Yan Xiao felt that this guy didn't seem to have any intention of being completely indifferent to Song Zhuxin.
Yan Xiao even felt that she could now read faces and tell fortunes, because looking at Wei Wuxiu's face now, she could tell that he had a destiny of being unable to win back his wife.
Seeing that Song Zhuxin didn't intend to reply, Yan Xiao spoke up for her:
"It's not that sudden. Sister Song is not only the lord of a city, but also has a huge copper coin fortress to manage. She usually has a lot of things to do."
She's been in Jiangbei for some time now, and now that things have settled there, Sister Song naturally has to go back.
"Can......"
Wei Wuxiu wanted to say something more, but when the words reached his lips, he realized that he didn't know what he wanted to say at all, and it seemed that there was nothing to say.
Seeing Wei Wuxiu's expression, Shen Muzhi had a better understanding of the situation. Although he was somewhat disappointed in Wei Wuxiu as a brother, he couldn't truly ignore the problem. So, he spoke up, which was unusual for him.
“Lord Song, there’s no rush. Tomorrow, Brother Wei and I will be heading to the capital. I’m sure we have a lot of things to take care of. Why don’t you come with us?”
Upon hearing this, Song Zhuxin's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Wei Wuxiu, but Wei Wuxiu immediately turned his head away after receiving her gaze. This angered Song Zhuxin, who directly refused to speak.
"No, I really have something to attend to and cannot accompany the general any longer."
Shen Muzhi also saw Wei Wuxiu's pathetic actions just now, and almost kicked him in anger.
He simply quit, nodding and saying:
"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you to stay any longer."
Upon hearing Shen Muzhi's words, Wei Wuxiu immediately looked at Shen Muzhi, but Shen Muzhi simply turned his face away and ignored him.
Song Zhuxin ignored him and cupped her hands in greeting to Shen Muzhi and Yan Xiao, smiling as she said:
"Then I'll be going now. I'll await your good news. General, don't forget what you promised me."
"must."
Wei Wuxiu watched Song Zhuxin's retreating figure, hesitating several times before finally turning to Shen Muzhi and asking:
"What's wrong with you? You just let her go like that?"
"Otherwise what?"
Shen Muzhi rolled his eyes at Wei Wuxiu without any politeness, walked to Yan Xiao's side, and together with Yan Xiao, looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, saying directly:
"Wei Wuxiu, didn't you say you weren't interested in her? Why do you look so unhappy now that she's left?"
"I... I didn't do that."
Wei Wuxiu looked conflicted and felt somewhat agitated. After speaking, he noticed the couple still looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, and he immediately panicked.
"I already said no, I have other things to do, you guys talk."
Without waiting for their reply, he turned and left.
