The couple entered the Song Mansion and walked towards Piaoxiang Courtyard chatting and laughing together.
Song Tingyue seemed to naturally think that Piaoxiangyuan was his residence, but both of them knew very well that they had not yet consummated their marriage.
The two of them walked in together, talking and laughing, and the news spread throughout the Song Mansion in an instant.
The old lady was soaking her feet with a smile on her face, letting Madam Jiao pour hot water on the backs of her feet.
"Xiao Yun, just let the maids do these things. You are old, so don't overwork yourself." The old lady was so happy that she even called Madam Jiao by her maiden name.
"That won't do. These girls are all clumsy, how can they serve as attentively as I can?" Seeing her beaming face, Madam Jiao added a few words, "Look how happy you are! This young couple is still very affectionate."
Who says it’s not?
This feeling is so good that even a blind person can see it.
Perhaps Qian was the most unhappy person in the entire Song family.
Her heart was bleeding when she saw that the son she had raised was so easily seduced by that vixen Chi!
She felt that she was losing control of her son's heart.
What if one day he completely sides with that vixen, what should she do then?
She no longer had any hope for her youngest son, and Chu Shi didn't dare to disobey her anyway.
When Madam Liang saw Qian like this, she knew that she was heartbroken about the affairs of the eldest young master and the young mistress, but as a servant she could not intervene.
"Call your cousin over in a few days and tell her that I miss her." After Qian said this, she restrained her expression, with only a gleam in her eyes.
Nanny Liang nodded in agreement.
My cousin Fang Baolin used to come to our house often to play, but that was when she was seven or eight years old.
Chi Yunzhi had no idea that she and Song Tingyue walking back side by side could attract so many people's attention.
As soon as she entered Piaoxiangyuan, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The maid looked at her with sympathy and even pity. Yuerong was so angry that her eyes were red, and she was talking to Juye Lanxiang.
When they saw Chi Yunzhi come in, they all turned to look at her, but when they saw Song Tingyue beside her, they swallowed their words.
Chi Yunzhi looked at Yuerong, then exchanged a glance with Song Tingyue.
"I'll go to the study first." Song Tingyue knew that because of his presence, they couldn't speak directly.
"Don't go, stay here with me." Chi Yunzhi pulled Song Tingyue's sleeve to prevent him from leaving.
When Song Tingyue turned his head, he saw a thin mist in her eyes, like a deer that had lost its way in the forest. He knew that his heart was disobedient.
Seeing that he was looking at her tenderly but did not take the next step, Chi Yunzhi grabbed his sleeve again and gently pulled him in front of her.
Song Tingyue took a step towards her, his eyes never leaving her.
The three personal maids felt sad and upset when they saw their mistress was so obsessed with this son-in-law. Zhuyin, who was standing by, pulled them to a corner and asked them quietly why.
Yuerong explained the matter with a bitter face, and Zhuyin fell silent.
The good mood just now completely disappeared.
But now seeing how sweet those two were, Zhuyin knew it was hard to say these words out loud.
Song Tingyue was still kept by Chi Yunzhi. After hearing what Zhu Yin and the others said, his face looked unhappy.
It turned out that today when Yuerong went to the kitchen to check on the bird's nest soup cooking on the stove, she heard a maid arrogantly trying to take the bird's nest away.
"Young Master Yansheng said he wanted to eat bird's nest today. Isn't this just cooked? I want this one and no one of you are allowed to take it!" The maid's aggressive look was so disgusting!
The other maids looked at each other, and finally pushed one person out to speak.
"Excuse me, Sister Yao, if Young Master Yansheng wants to eat something in the future, does the kitchen have to prioritize him over everything else?"
"Of course! From now on, even the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will belong to Young Master Yansheng, let alone this mere bowl of bird's nest?" Yao Juan took the bird's nest and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yue Rong.
"Is this what Master Yansheng meant, or what Madam Ershao meant?"
When Yao Juan saw that Yue Rong looked unfamiliar, she knew that she was the maid of the newly arrived eldest young lady Chi Yunzhi.
The second wife secretly discussed with the second young master that she would adopt Young Master Yansheng as the eldest young master's son, and he would definitely inherit the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in the future.
As a little girl like Chi Yunzhi, won’t she have to depend on Master Yansheng’s mood to eat?
Thinking of this, Yao Juan became even more arrogant.
"Who cares whose idea it is? Young Master Yansheng is going to eat the bird's nest today!" Yao Juan walked away proudly and confidently, like a victorious rooster.
Song Tingyue's face turned dark, and he was about to go find Song Shaoheng to argue with him on the spot, but was stopped by Chi Yunzhi.
This was the second time Chi Yunzhi held him back today.
"Yunzhi, don't take it to heart. I will go and tell Shaoheng clearly that I will never adopt a child. Even if I really want to adopt a child, I will adopt one from a side branch." Song Tingyue saw the grievance in Chi Yunzhi's heart.
Those wet eyes looked straight at him, and his heart felt sore and painful.
When Zhuyin and the others heard what Song Tingyue said, their eyes turned red.
Their son-in-law cares about the young lady!
"Tingyue, that's not what I meant." Chi Yunzhi knew that if she told him now that his illness could be cured, Song Tingyue would definitely not believe it.
This has to be done step by step.
"It's late at night. No matter how urgent the matter is, we have to wait until dawn. Don't disturb grandma because of these things. What if the maid is lying?" Chi Yunzhi grabbed his hand directly.
She found the gap between her fingertips and slipped in easily.
With their ten fingers clasped together, Song Tingyue retreated slightly, but was held firmly by Chi Yunzhi and could not escape at all.
"I said that in front of so many people today, don't you understand my feelings?" Chi Yunzhi walked forward and looked at him with her head slightly raised.
There is a huge difference in height between the two of them. If Song Tingyue doesn't lower his head, Chi Yunzhi won't be able to kiss him.
Song Tingyue's ears turned red when he thought of the bold and explicit words Chi Yunzhi said during the day.
Not only the ears, but also the neck turned red.
"But I, I really can't give you happiness." The more Song Ting thought about his situation, the darker his eyes became.
He knew how important a child was to a woman. Losing her husband might not matter, but losing her child would drive a woman crazy.
He couldn't give the woman in front of him a child.
He could not respond to her passionate love.
"Don't be afraid, you have to trust me." Chi Yunzhi coaxed him gently, stepped forward and put her arms around his waist, "I'm here, I won't let that happen."
Song Tingyue knew that Chi Yunzhi was talking about what had just happened.
The bitterness in his heart was diluted a lot by the sweetness that surged up.
Nanny Cui came over and urged several maids to prepare bath water for the two masters so that they would not be an eyesore here.
