Seeing that Yunwu seemed a little confused, the Prime Minister's wife sighed softly, "The Princess's visit is ill-intentioned; she's most likely after Lingxi."
Although Yunwu still didn't understand, seeing his wife's worry, all he could do was comfort her: "Madam is very thoughtful. As long as you take precautions, everything should be fine."
"Moreover, today is the day the young mistress returns to her parents' home. The young mistress is truly outstanding in appearance. Perhaps, Her Highness the Princess is fond of beautiful women and finds the young mistress more appealing."
Yunwu spoke calmly and softly. Although she did not completely resolve the Prime Minister's wife's confusion, she did manage to ease the tension between her brows.
The Prime Minister's wife nodded: "I hope I'm overthinking it. Go and prepare a few more suitable outfits, in bright colors, but remember, not too flashy."
She was quite satisfied with Yunwu's handling of the matter. This time, the Princess's flower-viewing banquet was arranged too suddenly, as if it were a last-minute decision.
As for the reason, the Prime Minister's wife did not know, but the title "Miss Song" still caught her attention, so she had to bring a few maids who knew a little about martial arts and follow her closely.
"Go to Qingfeng Garden and invite Lingxi and Changling over—"
The Prime Minister's wife suddenly stopped halfway through her speech. She looked at the sky; it was already getting dark. Qingfeng Garden was not close by, so she could talk about it tomorrow.
"Never mind, I'll just let them know tomorrow. It's nothing serious, so I'd better not call them over. It's chilly at night."
Yunwu was halfway there when she was called back and replied, "Yes, Madam, then this servant will go to Yuyi Pavilion to order a few clothes for the young mistress."
"Let's go tomorrow. We can just invite the manager of Yuyi Pavilion into the mansion then, which will avoid trouble. Go and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner."
The Prime Minister's wife thought about it and decided to postpone everything until tomorrow. There was no rush, since the Princess's banquet was in three days, and there was still time to prepare.
...
While the Prime Minister's wife was preparing for dinner in the main courtyard, things were quite different in Qingfeng Garden, where the young couple were still busy preparing.
Inside the room, the two were entwined in a passionate embrace. Song Lingxi's fair and delicate hands kept patting his chest: "Quick, stop!"
Xie Changling's gaze remained intense as he looked at Song Lingxi's wet almond-shaped eyes, her reddened eyes and nose, and the two tear streaks on her delicate face.
He felt even more pity for her, but while he thought about it, he still did what he wanted. He loved Song Lingxi's delicate and soft appearance the most.
The beauty wept, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, her long black hair was casually draped over the bed, and her lips looked disheveled, clearly indicating that she had been bullied.
Beads of sweat rolled down the man's forehead and splashed onto the floor. His body looked thin, but he was exceptionally strong, and every movement he made was powerful and vigorous.
After an unknown amount of time, the candlelight flickered, the passion abruptly ceased, and the room returned to calm, but with an added air of ambiguity.
Xie Changling smoothed her messy hair, pulled Song Lingxi into his arms, carefully outlined her eyebrows and eyes, kissed her affectionately, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Does Xi'er still have any strength?"
Song Lingxi felt weak and sore all over. She pounded his chest, but she could barely lift her hand, let alone have any strength left.
In Xie Changling's view, it was like a kitten tickling you, making you feel soft-hearted and your love surging endlessly.
He waited until the girl had recovered somewhat, and then reached out to help her straighten her clothes. However, Song Lingxi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She thought he was going to continue, and she repeatedly refused.
"No...no more."
Xie Changling chuckled softly, his voice regaining some of its clear and gentle quality, and his magnetic voice rang in Song Lingxi's ear.
"What does Xi'er think her husband should do, hmm~"
Until his large hands helped her put on her clothes, his movements were exceptionally gentle and meticulous, and he even kissed her blushing earlobes.
Song Lingxi finally realized what he was doing, and glared at him angrily, which only made the man chuckle.
"Someone come here, prepare a bath and change your clothes, and get hot water."
After laughing, Xie Changling called out to the outside, and only spoke again after hearing that things were getting busy outside.
"Wait a minute, Xi'er, don't be too tired to even have dinner. Do you need your husband's help?"
"It's all your fault!"
Song Lingxi glared at the culprit, but her eyes, still carrying a seductive quality, were utterly intimidating and almost made the man's breathing quicken again.
At this moment, Song Lingxi even forgot to call him "husband," and her main characteristic was that she was ruthless, unreasonable, and had no regard for family ties.
Xie Changling found it amusing. Strangely enough, he hadn't laughed as many times in the past twenty years as he had in the last few days; the smile on his face hadn't stopped.
But when he looked at Song Lingxi, his cold and hard heart immediately softened. This feeling was so wonderful that he had never experienced anything like it before.
Song Lingxi's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes were red at the corners, her face was flushed with spring, and her bright white neck was so alluring that it stirred one's desires and made one unconsciously feel affection for her.
Xie Changling only glanced at her, but his heart was filled with joy and excitement, as if his body was telling him that he loved Xi'er.
His gaze was sincere and tender, filled with boundless love. Just as he was about to kiss him, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Xie Changling raised his head, and Song Lingxi also opened her eyes. She was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep, but she woke up when she heard the noise outside, her eyes still heavy with sleepiness.
Seeing the curiosity and a hint of worry in her eyes, Xie Changling took the initiative to reassure her and said...
"Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."
