Song Ning paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
Yuan Huizhu was relieved; at least she understood, and her life was saved.
She glanced cautiously at Xie Linzhou, who looked like he wanted to kill her, and slowly moved to her brother's side.
How could she forget that before they got married, this man was a living devil?
No, he's a living devil now.
Yuan Shaoqing immediately cupped his hands and said, "Now that things have been explained, we'll take our leave. No need to see us off."
After saying that, he grabbed Yuan Huizhu and quickly slipped away.
Xia Shiyang, unafraid of Xie Linzhou, asked with a smile, "I heard you're going to find him a concubine?"
Song Ning was a little embarrassed; she didn't know what was going on either.
"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
Xia Shiyang shrugged, recalling Yuan Huizhu's outspoken words. He never expected that Xie Linzhou would also have a moment of being humiliated.
The atmosphere in the shop was a bit strange. Xie Linzhou looked like he had a deep grudge. Song Ning couldn't stand it and pulled him home quickly.
Xie Linzhou was really angry. She said a lot of nice things, but he just ignored her.
"That's your problem. If you explained things to me clearly, would I have misunderstood?"
"Besides, I saw it with my own eyes. You two were quite intimate, it looked really real..."
"You saw it?" Xie Linzhou finally spoke.
"Hmm, I saw that the Yuan family girl was next to you, and you didn't push her away. You seemed to be enjoying it."
"So you saw it and have nothing to say? You just want to take me a concubine?" Xie Linzhou was furious. How could he have married such a clueless woman?
Song Ning had no romantic experience in her previous life and thought that romantic relationships were just like that. Having seen many relationships around her, she felt that even the best relationships would eventually turn into mutual dislike.
You can't put all your heart into a man; if you get too deeply involved, you might not be able to get out.
Those who commit suicide because of heartbreak are truly terrifying; she was afraid she would become like that herself.
"You...don't want to take a concubine?"
Xie Linzhou glared at her, annoyed. Fine, fine, after all that talking, she still couldn't convince her.
I still don't know why he was angry.
She jumped up and said angrily, "I'm going to sleep somewhere else."
Song Ning sighed. Why is he still angry? Haven't we already explained everything?
A person lies in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Shouldn't she pay more attention to Xie Linzhou?
But she does care quite a bit.
Isn't it because she always thinks about coming back to eat with him every single meal?
And...and...it seems like that's really all gone.
Xie Linzhou's daily life was taken care of by her, and he went to court outside. The people in the manor always arranged everything perfectly, so she didn't have to do anything.
Is she really a bit of an incompetent wife?
Sigh, finding a partner and getting married is such a hassle. It's so much more comfortable being single.
I used to not need to worry about others, as long as I was happy. Now that there's Xie Linzhou, I not only have to care about his physical health, but also his mental well-being. It's so difficult.
If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten married...
Xie Linzhou was unaware that his anger had caused Song Ning to feel remorse.
I didn't sleep well last night, so I couldn't get up the next morning.
Xie Linzhou went to court early, and Princess Jianing came to the courtyard after hearing that she had gotten up.
"Mother."
"No need for formalities, we're family, there's no need for that."
Song Ning looked up, and Princess Jianing noticed her pale complexion and asked, "Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Someone, quickly summon the imperial physician."
"No need to trouble yourself, I just didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine after a rest. Is there anything you need, Mother?"
Princess Jianing didn't mince words: "I heard that you and Linzhou have been sleeping in separate rooms these past few days. Did you have a fight? Between husband and wife, any misunderstandings should be discussed openly. Keeping them in your heart is a big no-no."
"Don't worry, Mother. He told me everything. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Are you really alright?"
"It's really nothing, I know everything, it was all a misunderstanding."
Princess Jianing was relieved: "That's good, that's good."
After seeing Princess Jianing off, Song Ning dressed herself and took a carriage back to the Song family.
Liu Yuelan was startled by Song Ning's half-dead appearance, thinking that something bad had happened.
"Er Ya, what's wrong? Were you bullied?"
Song Ning shook her head: "No, I just didn't sleep well last night and I missed home."
Liu Yuelan's heart softened instantly.
Song Ning went back to her room and lay down. It was so comfortable to lie down where her parents were.
I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up, it was already dark.
Liu Yuelan happened to come in and brought her some food.
"Mother, I don't want to leave tonight."
"Don't worry, I already sent someone to deliver the message."
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first."
Liu Yuelan sensed that her daughter was troubled, so she asked, "What's wrong? You never look like this before."
Song Ning sighed: "Actually, it's nothing. There are just some things I haven't figured out yet. I'll be fine once I do."
"Okay, I'm fine. Maybe I'll be fine after another nap."
The mother and daughter were talking inside when a maid came in to report, "Master, the son-in-law has arrived. He says he's here to take you back."
“Tell him I’m not leaving tonight, and tell him to go home.”
"......yes."
When Xie Linzhou returned to the manor today, he found that Song Ning was not there. He asked her and learned that she had gone to her parents' home and said she would not be coming back today.
Although the two are now sleeping in separate rooms, Xie Linzhou is still upset, but he can't let it go when he hears that Song Ning won't be coming back today.
