With two elderly people at home, Song Ning was worried and thought about finding a maid to take care of them.
Without saying a word, Xie Linzhou brought two people from the Duke's mansion.
"These two are both veterans in the household, and they are diligent and efficient in their work, so I'll keep them for you."
Thank you.
Xie Linzhou squeezed her hand with displeasure: "When will you remember that we're getting married next year? Why are you still thanking me?"
Song Ning pouted: "It's not even done yet, is it?"
Xie Linzhou muttered, "I see you're being quite impolite with that Zhou Ling'an."
"Can those be the same?"
"How are they different?"
Song Ning was taken aback and asked, "You care about Zhou Ling'an a lot?"
She had never thought that Xie Linzhou didn't seem to like Zhou Ling'an very much. Now it dawned on her. Could it be that he was bothered by her past feelings for Zhou Ling'an?
Xie Linzhou said irritably, "If someone I used to like were standing right in front of you, wouldn't you mind?"
"I don't care."
Xie Linzhou felt that Song Ning had come specifically to annoy him.
She actually said she didn't care?
Song Ning really didn't care. Even if she liked him, that was in the past. Now that she didn't like him, that was fine.
What's the point of bringing up the past now? It's all in the past.
Even if you say something, it won't change anything; it will only lead to a pointless argument.
"Anyway, what's done is done, and there's nothing I can do about it. If you really can't accept it, then we should..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Linzhou's gaze silenced her.
"You dare to say it and see what happens?"
Seeing Xie Linzhou so angry with her, Song Ning sighed and asked with a smile, "So, you used to have someone you liked? So you were lying to me when you told me you didn't have anyone you liked?"
Xie Linzhou quickly said, "No, no, I have never liked anyone else."
"Really?" Song Ning looked incredulous.
Xie Linzhou panicked and quickly explained, "Really, really, I have never liked anyone else."
Song Ning turned her face away, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had managed to fool them.
Xie Linzhou is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and she's starting to regret her actions.
"By the way, the princess is here today, shouldn't you go and see her?"
"My mother is going to see Old Madam Xu, so I won't join in the fun."
Princess Jianing hadn't visited the Xu family for a long time, all to avenge Liu Yuelan.
Liu Yuelan will be her in-law in the future, so she's not someone anyone can bully.
Previously, Madam Xu only knew that Song Ning was engaged, but this time, she learned that it was with the Duke's family, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"I never expected that the two children would have such a connection."
It's ridiculous that her sons and daughters-in-law are still making a fuss about not letting Yue Niang come home.
However, Madam Xu is not worried about those things now. She is in a good mood and doesn't want to deal with the troubles of the Xu family anymore.
As long as they don't disrupt the life of Yue Niang's family, it's fine.
......
Because Mu Xuerong was working at the clothing shop, Song Ning had some free time recently.
To be honest, Mu Xuerong really does have some talent; even Master Tian, with his discerning eye, is praising her.
It's unbelievable that a rich young lady would work as a tailor for her.
Many people who knew Mu Xueyun knew that she worked as a tailor here and thought the shop belonged to her, so many people followed suit and came to buy clothes.
And here we are again, the Xu family.
As soon as Song Ning came out of the shop, she saw the Xu family coming from afar, accompanied by an old acquaintance of hers, Xu Jiaojiao.
The group entered the shop in high spirits, showing no sign of the sadness that Madam Xu had felt upon leaving home.
Song Ning didn't care; Mu Xueyun was even better at rubbing salt into the Xu family than she was, so she didn't need to worry about it.
Turning a corner, they bumped into Tang Xinghuai. Upon seeing the person beside him, their brows furrowed instantly.
The moment Qi Liangyuan saw Song Ning, he immediately smiled and stepped forward: "Miss Song, I never expected that we would actually meet in the capital."
Song Ning looked between the two, her brows furrowing even more deeply: "You two...know each other?"
Qi Liangyuan looked at Tang Xinghuai behind him without saying a word; it was quite obvious.
Song Ning looked at Tang Xinghuai and felt a chill run down her spine.
Just how vast a net did Tang Xinghuai lay? Everyone she knew before fleeing the famine was his.
Tang Xinghuai stepped forward, and Qi Liangyuan respectfully retreated behind him.
"He has always been one of my people, and I never intended to lie to you."
"Since he's one of your men, were you involved in the events in Yuezhou back then?"
Looking back now, it's incredible that Qi Liangyuan, a businessman, ended up in such a chaotic place and was even assigned an important position by the enemy forces.
So Tang Xinghuai really was behind this.
What exactly does Tang Xinghuai want to do?
"You... you actually colluded with an enemy country?"
She thought of that road that even the locals of the Jin Dynasty didn't know about. How could a prefect of a prefecture do something so big if he didn't have someone behind him?
Looking back now, everything makes sense.
Tang Xinghuai wanted to rebel; he wanted to overthrow the entire Jin Dynasty.
Tang Xinghuai remained unhurried, and smiled: "It seems you guessed it all. That's right, I did it all."
Aren't you afraid I'll report you?
After saying that, he froze. Report it? Where to report it?
She has no evidence whatsoever. Even if she reports it, people might think she has ulterior motives.
She wouldn't be that stupid.
I heard that this person is still pestering Sister Jiang all day long, so it seems he has ulterior motives.
