Jiang Yuanqi naturally saw their actions, his smile froze for a moment, then returned to its previous expression.
"I almost forgot, Miss Yuan and my cousin are childhood sweethearts, so their relationship is naturally quite good."
Yuan Huizhu smiled sweetly and even took Xie Linzhou's arm: "Of course, when we were little we made a promise that Brother Linzhou would marry me in the future."
Xie Linzhou glanced at her unhappily. "Just talk, why are you touching me?"
He really wanted to throw the person away, but since he hadn't refuted it in the first place, he had to keep up the act.
He maintained a calm demeanor, but in his mind he had only one thought: if Song Ning found out about this, would he be kicked out of the room?
"Really? Didn't my cousin just get married a few days ago?"
"So what? We truly love each other. As long as I can be with Brother Linzhou, I'd be willing to be his concubine." Yuan Huizhu said with a tender look on her face.
Xia Shiyang, who was standing to the side, was stunned. What kind of earth-shattering statement was this?
This shows how much she dislikes the Second Prince; she even suggested becoming his concubine.
From the moment Jiang Yuanqi entered, these four people showed him no respect. Now that their words were so clear, if he still didn't understand, he would truly be ungrateful.
"Does my cousin think so too?"
Xie Linzhou didn't want to speak, but Yuan Shaoqing's eyes were practically devouring him.
Never mind, consider it repaying a favor.
He gave a faint "hmm".
The Second Prince remained nonchalant: "In that case, I wish Miss Yuan and my cousin all the best."
Having said that, he turned his head slightly and looked at the hem of his coat that had vanished in an instant at the doorway.
Xiao Cui came out to help Song Ning bring some pastries, and happened to pass by Xie Linzhou's private room.
After all, he was their son-in-law, so they couldn't help but stand at the door for a while.
At this stop, we could hear voices coming from inside.
Her son-in-law just got married to the landlord, and only a few days later, he's already having an affair?
He was furious and rushed back to tell Song Ning.
Song Ning, having finished her meal, was standing by the window admiring the view when Xiao Cui came in looking sullen. She asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
Xiao Cui was straightforward and angrily said, "Master, your son-in-law is having an affair!"
What?
Song Ning didn't react immediately: "Who has someone else?"
"Young master, young master is having an affair. I just passed by the door of your private room and heard voices inside. The girl in the room is your childhood sweetheart. They called each other very intimately and said... they said they were truly in love and that she would be willing to be your concubine."
Xiao Cui was furious, but Song Ning remained calm.
She simply couldn't imagine that Xie Linzhou could do something like this.
After all, this man was like a wolf last night.
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
“I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false? Master, how could the son-in-law do such a thing? You two have not even been married for half a month.”
Song Ning still didn't believe it. If Xie Linzhou really had a childhood sweetheart, why would the princess be so worried about his marriage?
Isn't this readily available?
But what Xiao Cui heard with her own ears couldn't be faked.
After thinking it over, I finally decided to ask when I got home tonight.
"Alright, we should still trust Xie Linzhou's character. There must be some misunderstanding. We'll find out when we get back."
The two stayed in the room for a while before going out back to Jinxiufang.
As soon as I opened the door and stepped out of the room, I saw Xie Linzhou walking out of the room.
He was accompanied by a pretty and playful girl who was holding his arm and leaning affectionately against it.
Song Ning was stunned, while Xiao Cui's eyes were already red with anger.
The moment Xie Linzhou saw Song Ning, he felt a chill run through him from head to toe, his body stiffening as he didn't know how to react.
When Xia Shiyang saw Song Ning, his expression changed; it was all over.
Yuan Shaoqing and Yuan Huizhu had never met Song Ning before, and wondering what had happened to Xie Linzhou, they glanced at the Second Prince and asked with concern, "Brother Linzhou, what's wrong?"
After glancing between the two of them a few times, Song Ning suddenly lowered his head, acting as if he didn't know them and showing no reaction, before taking Xiao Cui downstairs.
This kind of thing is ultimately quite awkward, so it's best to just pretend you didn't see it.
Xiao Cui walked away angrily, muttering curses under her breath, feeling wronged on Song Ning's behalf.
"Boss, why aren't you angry?" She was furious.
Why are you angry?
Xiao Cui was confused. Shouldn't she be angry that her son-in-law was having an affair?
"You've only been married to your son-in-law for a short time, and he's already cheating on you. Of course you should be angry!"
Song Ning didn't think it was a big deal and laughed, "It's alright. If he really likes her, he can bring her into the manor. I'm not that petty. As long as the girl is really willing to be a concubine."
Anyway, the position of the legal wife is already hers, and no matter how noble her status is, she can forget about it; she won't give up.
Xiao Cui was startled by Song Ning's words. "Is the master alright?"
Shouldn't a wife be angry if her husband has another woman?
That's what she's seen before.
"You'll understand when you get married. When a couple lives together, you can't be petty. You have to turn a blind eye to some things. Even if you're angry, do you think he'll give up on that idea? You're just making yourself angry for no reason. It's not worth it. The most important thing is to be easygoing."
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
In the families she had met before, even if the wives cried until they went blind, they couldn't win back their husbands' hearts.
