Chen looked at her son, her eyes flashing with complex lights, including reluctance, encouragement, and more helplessness.
"Yin'er, you are my child. I know what you are thinking. If there is something you really want to do, just do it. I will not stop you."
Song Yanyin's lips trembled slightly when he heard this, but he didn't know how to respond. He had been struggling in this endless torture for too long and really didn't want to spend his whole life in pain like this.
But he was also afraid, afraid that everything he did would not only fail, but would also implicate his family and put them in an even more dire situation.
"A-choo!"
Rong Xi in the carriage sneezed loudly again. She felt that today was really strange. Why did she keep sneezing?
They were silent all the way. After returning to the mansion, Rong Xi looked at the box of exquisite rouge in her hand. The rouge had bright colors and a delicate fragrance. It was a rare treasure.
She thought secretly in her heart and decided to give Song Yanyin a can. After all, the relationship between the two of them couldn't remain deadlocked like this forever. There had to be an opportunity to ease the situation.
However, just as she entered the mansion, she was stopped by the attendant beside her mother-in-law and mother-in-law. The attendant was tall and straight, with a respectful and majestic look.
"Girl, the master invites you."
"ah?"
Rong Xi was shocked and inexplicably panicked. An ominous premonition came to her mind and she felt that nothing good would happen.
She took a few shaky steps forward and whispered to the attendant, "Uncle Li, what does my mother-in-law want to see me about?"
The attendant smiled as he looked at Rong Xi with eyes full of love.
He has watched Rong Xi grow up since he was a child. Although he sometimes does things recklessly, when he gets angry, he is like a bull and no one can stop him.
But after all, she was the only girl in this mansion, and he felt a little fond of Rong Xi in his heart.
"You'll know when you get there." The attendant said gently.
Rong Xi didn't get an answer from Uncle Li, so he could only follow him with trepidation. This time, two servants accompanied Rong Xi. The two servants had serious faces and followed Rong Xi closely.
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue returned to their own residence.
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue are both older than Rong Xi, and they have taken care of Rong Xi since she was a child.
When they reached a certain age and their faith was awakened, Lord Jiang arranged for them to get married and even gave them a courtyard.
Now, Qiu Shuang has a son, who is as cute as a piece of jade.
Dongxue's husband is now pregnant, which makes Lord Jiang very envious. So, she has set her sights on Rongxi. She just hopes that this will happen quickly. Once Rongxi awakens her faith, maybe she will be able to hold her granddaughter next year.
In Dongchang County, there are not many families that can afford to employ maids.
The reason why Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue were able to serve Rong Xi was because their mother was originally the nanny and housekeeper serving in the family, so her status and position were naturally different from that of ordinary servants.
Rong Xi came to the outside of the study, still wondering what her mother-in-law wanted to talk to her about. To be honest, she was a little afraid to go in. The study was like a monster with its mouth wide open, which made her a little scared.
"Why are you still standing outside? Do you want me to invite you?" The majestic voice of the father-in-law and mother-in-law came from the study.
Rong Xi knew that this was directed at her, so she had no choice but to go in.
In the study, behind the green bamboo screen sat a middle-aged woman, that was my grandma Jiang Zhimei.
She held a teacup in her hand and stared at Rong Xi who had just entered the room with sharp eyes. Her every move and gesture was full of grace and elegance, and her aura made Rong Xi a little breathless.
Jiang Zhimei was furious when she saw her timid look when she came in.
"Speak to yourself, and stand up straight. You are my niece, Jiang Zhimei. You should speak and act with determination. Don't be so weak every day. It makes me uncomfortable to see you like this."
Rong Xi's greeting was abruptly interrupted and stuck in her throat. She knew that although her father-in-law was usually a little strict with her, it was obvious that it was all for her good.
"Oh, look, after not seeing my mother-in-law for a few days, she looks better." Rong Xi said with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Don't try to coax me with your tricks for coaxing a husband. I've heard people say you want to get all the Song brothers to marry you. You've lost your mind. Who are you? You're my niece, Jiang Zhimei. You're going to inherit my family fortune. How are you going to handle your marriage if you let those people come?"
Jiang Zhimei frowned and reprimanded in a stern tone.
Rong Xi was complaining in her heart. The transmission time of this broken system was wrong, and she had to bear all the pain.
She is really in a dilemma now. On the one hand, there is pressure from her parents-in-law, and on the other hand, there are her own complicated tasks and emotions.
"In half a year, you will be sixteen. I have discussed with your father-in-law that you should marry a virtuous man. Your husband must come from a prominent family. You have met your father-in-law's nephew and cousin. I think he is not bad. You should take some time to spend with him. When Xinxiang comes, you must hurry up and make sure your husband has children."
Jiang Zhimei continued speaking, her eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
Rong Xi was overwhelmed. Why did he have to get married just like that?
Although this is a world where women are superior and polyandry is a common phenomenon, she still feels a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, she had a bigger task, which was to kill Song Yanyin who wanted to kill her at that moment, so why was she arranging a blind date now?
"Auntie-in-law!" Rong Xi tried to defend herself.
"Auntie, don't tell me you don't want to. Don't force me to break your legs. The matter of offspring is so important. If you treat it as a joke, I won't forgive you."
Jiang Zhi's eyebrows widened with anger, and her voice became a little louder.
"I don't want to." Rong Xi said this with his eyes closed, ready to face the wrath of his parents-in-law.
But the expected pain and scolding did not come, instead there was silence.
She felt a little strange and quietly opened one eye, wondering if her parents-in-law had become open-minded and would respect her opinion?
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a whip coming towards me.
"You little bastard, you don't listen to what I say. In the past, I always thought you were young and just said a few words to you, but now you are actually disobeying me for a few men. You are getting too arrogant."
Rong Xi was so frightened that he quickly dodged and ran around the house, "Auntie, listen to me, what I mean is..."
"I told you to run, I told you to run, stop right there." Jiang Zhimei chased and shouted, waving the whip in her hand vigorously.
"Auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please stop first and let's talk it over." Rong Xi begged for mercy while running.
"You idiot, I was too indulgent to you before." Jiang Zhimei's face flushed with anger, but she did not stop.
