Chapter 483 Can you speak properly?
Hearing this, Qiu Ling's eyes lit up.
She took Song Yanxi's arm, shook it gently and said, "Sister, can you show it to Ling'er?"
"Of course." Song Yanxi chuckled. "When you're free one day, come with your aunt to see me. You can pick whatever you like."
Apart from anything else, she has no shortage of new clothes and jewelry.
When they got married, everything from food to daily necessities, even the coffin for her funeral when she was old, was prepared in advance.
Although they were afraid of exceeding the limit and not filling up the eighty-eight loads, the items in each load were carefully selected by my mother and grandmother.
Finally, my grandfather personally reviewed it, added to it again and again, and finally finalized the dowry book.
Just tearing off a page would be enough to feed the entire general's mansion for more than ten years.
It was just a quick glance by Mrs. Lin during the exchange of gifts, but she remembered it firmly in her heart and had been thinking about it for a long time.
Otherwise, given her temper, I would have to temper her a little bit before I would consider handing over the power of housekeeper to her.
She wasn't just handing over the housekeeping power to her. She was clearly treating her as an inexhaustible gold bag and expecting her to support the whole family.
It’s a pity that she is short-sighted and doesn’t know how to hold on to the ready-made money bag.
In his previous life, Lin Tingfeng was lucky and bet on the right treasure.
This time, he was not so lucky.
She wanted to see if Old Madam Lin could still smile after marrying the princess daughter-in-law she had always dreamed of.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the Qiu family's gate, they saw a peach-pink figure standing next to the carriage not far away. It was obvious that they were waiting for someone.
Qiu Ling stopped laughing instantly and lowered her voice to say, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know she hadn't left yet."
Her intuition told her that Sister Yan Xi probably didn't want to be with Xu Ruyue.
She had made it so clear today. With Sister Ruyue's intelligence, there was no way she couldn't have failed to hear that she was politely refusing.
Knowing that they don't want to be with her, she still insists on coming over to them. Is that interesting?
Noticing that Qiu Ling was in a bad mood, Song Yanxi gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her that it was okay.
Their legs are on other people's bodies, so they can only take care of their own.
Seeing them come out, Xu Ruyue greeted them with a smile.
As if she hadn't noticed Qiu Ling's unhappiness, she smiled softly and said, "Finally, you two have arrived."
Qiu Ling said angrily, "It's so hot, why is Sister Ruyue standing here waiting for us instead of returning home?"
Her attitude was not polite at all. Xu Ruyue's smile froze. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Don't be upset, Sister Ling'er. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have the audacity to come up to you."
Hearing her so frankly, Qiu Ling felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at Song Yanxi's sleeve and stood behind her.
The look in her eyes clearly said, "She said that herself. I didn't say she was shameless."
Seeing that some passersby were looking at her sideways, Song Yanxi said, "This is not the place to talk. Miss Xu, please get in the carriage first."
Xu Ruyue raised her head, her eyes red as she asked, "Would Ruyue have the honor of riding with the princess?"
Qiu Ling was naturally unwilling and even felt that her words were a bit sarcastic.
After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family. Although her status is lower than that of the princess, she does not have to be so humble.
If someone saw this, those who didn’t know would think her sister was bullying others by taking advantage of her power!
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, Qiu Ling asked directly: "Can you speak properly?"
She was so angry that she even forgot to use honorifics.
Xu Ruyue was startled, then nodded quickly and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that her attitude was quite sincere, Qiu Ling stopped making trouble and whispered in Song Yanxi's ear, "Sister, it doesn't matter whether you take her with you or not."
The implication was that she didn't need to consider the Qiu family's face and could just follow her own heart.
No matter what she chooses, she will never blame her for it.
Song Yanxi looked at Xu Ruyue, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. She looked so thin that she looked like she could be blown away by the wind. She said calmly, "If you don't mind, Miss Xu, please come with us."
*
The carriage of the princess's mansion was driving slowly on the long street, and the carriage was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
If Qiu Ling hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have imagined it.
Xu Ruyue, who has a glamorous appearance and is famous for her talent among the noble ladies, is actually not favored at home.
In fact, she is not as loved by her parents as her half-sisters in the family.
Looking at Xu Ruyue who was silently wiping away tears, Qiu Ling moved closer to Song Yanxi and asked softly, "Sister, what do you think?"
What does she think?
If what Xu Ruyue said was true, and Mrs. Xu disliked her so much and was not interested in her marriage, it was understandable that she wanted to find a way to make a living for herself.
But if what she said was not true, it would be difficult for her to like a daughter like her who was full of scheming and always spoke to please others.
Song Yanxi stared at Xu Ruyue for a moment and asked, "Miss Xu, could you please tell me why Madam Xu treats you so coldly?"
Qiu Ling was also puzzled and said immediately, "Mrs. Xu only has one daughter, Sister Ruyue. She must love her dearly."
Xu Ruyue smiled sadly when she heard this.
She asked Qiu Ling, "Has Auntie ever told Sister Ling'er about what happened when Mother gave birth to me?"
Qiu Ling nodded, then shook her head. "I only know that the situation was very dangerous. My aunt lay in bed recuperating for almost a year after giving birth and nearly lost her life."
"Yes." Xu Ruyue pulled the corners of her lips and tears fell uncontrollably.
She looked at Song Yanxi and asked with a tearful voice, "The princess is a doctor, so you must have heard that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman.
If the fetus is in an abnormal position or is too large to be delivered, the mother's pubic bone can be broken to assist in the birth."
Qiu Ling's face turned pale for a moment, "That must be very painful."
Xu Ruyue smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "Of course it's a deep and unforgettable pain.
Ever since I can remember, I've known that I was born to collect debts from my mother, and I deserve to be disliked by her."
Song Yanxi's face darkened slightly, and she frowned and said, "Miss Xu is not to blame for this. Madam Xu shouldn't take her anger out on you because of this.
It is not easy for women to give birth. Since ancient times, countless people have failed to survive this difficult time, resulting in one corpse and two lives.
Mrs. Xu was lucky to have given birth to Miss Xu safely and to have recovered from her illness.
If that doctor hadn't been so bold, and if Lord Xu hadn't been so resolute, the situation might have ended in a double loss."
Xu Ruyue's eyes flickered when she heard this, "It would be great if mother could think like the princess."
Qiu Ling was already heartbroken with tears in her eyes.
The little girl bit her lower lip lightly and said apologetically, "Sister Ruyue, I'm sorry, I didn't know this beforehand."
Xu Ruyue comforted him gently, "It's okay. I know Ling'er has a kind heart and wouldn't have any bad intentions."
Hearing her say this, Qiu Ling felt even more ashamed, and tears began to fall down her face.
Xu Ruyue hurriedly helped her wipe her tears and coaxed her gently, looking like a caring older sister.
Song Yanxi sat nearby and watched. After Qiu Ling stopped crying, she asked, "Miss Xu, what do you want me to do by telling you this today?"
