Xie Changling didn't waste any words, only saying "Sell her off," and the servants rushed forward and dragged her away, no matter how much she struggled.
Xie Changling remained unmoved, his face cold and stern. He knew that Song Lingxi wanted to keep the little girl in the manor, but there was bound to be some trouble, so he decided to sell her off as soon as possible.
Qingxin was still sold to a slave trader. Her cries and pleas for mercy were to no avail. Tears and snot streamed down her face, and she was no longer the arrogant person she had been just moments before.
Huixin watched coldly from the side. Qingxin was so confused and couldn't see things clearly. She actually dared to dream of marrying into a wealthy family. But she didn't even know who the young master was. How could she possibly be seduced by him?
"No, no—uh—" Qingxin shouted, but her mouth was covered and she was dragged away.
Song Lingxi wanted to come out and see what was going on when she heard the noise, but unfortunately, she was in a lot of pain. By the time she got dressed, the courtyard had already returned to peace.
Xie Changling turned around and saw Song Lingxi push open the door and come out. His face showed concern, and he hurriedly went to meet her and helped her up: "Did I disturb you?"
Song Lingxi nodded, her voice having recovered considerably, but still tinged with a hint of hoarseness, which made one's heart itch with curiosity: "Hmm, who's outside?"
Xie Changling smiled and tapped her delicate nose, saying with a smile, "No one, not anyone important. Since you're up, let's take a bath together!"
Xie Changling's words startled Song Lingxi. She didn't bother to ask any more questions and, without any other thoughts, quickly walked towards the bathhouse.
this……
Xie Changling watched her hurried figure, shook his head, and chuckled to himself. Then he touched his face, wondering if he had been that scary just now.
but--
Thinking of Song Lingxi's soft and delicate appearance in his arms, wouldn't it be even more... if she were taking a bath?
Thinking this, Xie Changling followed behind, leaving everyone in the courtyard looking at each other in bewilderment.
The dowry girls brought by Song Lingxi were especially trembling, fearing they would be the next to be sold off.
They knew that the young lady had taken back their indentures today, and if they dared to act recklessly again, they would end up like this girl, disappearing without a trace.
Huixin watched this scene, her eyes flashing. She finally understood why the young master was doing this; he was making an example of someone.
She cleared her throat, as if speaking on purpose: "I wonder if the food is warmed up yet. We'll be serving it to the young master and young mistress later. I'll go check."
"Sister Huixin, let me do it."
"I'll go too."
"Sister Huixin, is there any other work? I love doing chores the most."
The maids and servants who accompanied her as dowry all came forward to fawn over Huixin, and the arrogant attitude she had shown when she first arrived was nowhere to be seen.
...
Meanwhile, Xie Changling saw Song Lingxi's figure through the screen. She was graceful and slender, and every smile and frown of hers was captivating.
Separated by a screen, the view wasn't very clear, but it was precisely this hazy feeling that made Xie Changling's heart tremble, followed by a heartbeat like a drum.
Xie Changling felt the violent pounding of his heart, each beat like thunder, making him yearn even more to kiss her and stay with her forever.
"who?"
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, because Song Lingxi, behind the screen, sensitively noticed this burning gaze, so she put her clothes back on and shouted.
Song Lingxi's voice was filled with panic, like a frightened little animal, terrified and desperately trying to find an exit to escape, running away frantically.
Xie Changling saw that Song Lingxi seemed to be frightened by him, so he quickly spoke up to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's me."
Hearing Xie Changling's voice, Song Lingxi finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly glared at him and said angrily, "Why did you scare me like that!"
Song Lingxi patted her wildly beating heart, feeling completely unwell. A blush quickly spread across her cheeks as she tried to speak.
"Husband, why are you here..."
Song Lingxi stopped halfway through her sentence because she saw Xie Changling walking towards her, his footsteps getting closer and closer, and her body getting hotter and hotter.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer."
Unfortunately, Xie Changling did not take her advice, because she saw that the bamboo pattern on Xie Changling's boots was embroidered so vividly that it seemed as if she could really see its lush branches and leaves.
Song Lingxi was stunned for a moment, but looking up along that foot, she indeed saw Xie Changling's extremely ardent gaze.
"ah--"
"Don't shout!"
Fearing that Song Lingxi's scream would attract the attention of others, Xie Changling quickly covered her lips with his hand to prevent her from making a sound.
"Xi'er, it's easy to attract other people."
Xie Changling released his grip, half-embracing Song Lingxi's body. Inhaling the fragrance from the top of her hair, his heart pounded wildly, and his body began to burn.
Song Lingxi heard the hoarseness in his voice, which frightened her so much that she dared not move. She froze in Xie Changling's arms, trembling like a frightened kitten.
This terrified Xie Changling. What was going on? He hadn't said anything he shouldn't have!
But he didn't know that although he didn't say it out loud, his body language made no attempt to hide it. Being so close to each other, he could naturally sense it.
"Don't be afraid, why are you trembling?"
Xie Changling suppressed his desire and gently comforted him, never expecting that he would have such a day.
With his beloved in his arms, every move she made drew his attention, as if she possessed a magical power that held his heart firmly in her grasp.
