Xin He was somewhat embarrassed and smiled at Madam Song: "My husband has always had a bad temper."
Madam Song pinched her handkerchief and wiped her forehead, forcing a stiff smile: "It’s fine, it’s fine." Indeed, very different!
Seeing how Madam Song acted, the younger generation behind her were more frightened, their faces pale and, even though Mu Houchu had already left, they still didn’t dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Song Yalin tentatively asked: "Master Mu’s temper seems a bit strange, but he is particularly concerned about Lady Mu. She must be very important, right?"
Xin He smiled faintly: "Between husband and wife, it’s natural to be like this."
"If it’s just an ordinary couple, would their feelings really be so strong? It’s not just the result of their marriage, is it?"
Xin He looked at Song Yalin, raised her eyebrows, didn’t answer, and just smiled: "Why should Miss Song care about these matters? With Miss Song’s intelligence and family background, you will surely have no worries about finding a suitable husband in the future."
Song Yalin’s face turned red, and she shyly lowered her head.
Xin He laughed, and directly put the matter aside. Although she is now on good terms with Madam Song, the Song Family is still an important target for Mu Houchu’s observation. So she didn’t have the mood to let the Song Family know too much about her situation while she was trying to engage them in conversation.
Madam Song felt the atmosphere in the room was still somewhat oppressive, so she couldn’t sit still and simply pulled Xin He outside to the courtyard to enjoy the sun and scenery.
With Madam Song and Xin He gone, only the young ladies of Song Family were left in the East Warm Chamber. They were all just teenage girls who had never seen much of the world, so when the room emptied, they collapsed into their chairs. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Song Yamin patted her chest, looking somewhat shaken: "It was too scary, Master Mu’s temper is actually so big, I was almost scared to death just now."
Song Yaming teased with a smile: "How is it? Didn’t you say before that you would be content if you could find a husband like that in the future? Now you’re scared?"
"Don’t make fun of me. I thought Master Mu looked so good, how bad could he be? Who knew his temper was so fierce; his aura was like he wanted to kill someone! I don’t know how Lady Mu can bear it."
Song Yalin’s eyes were deep, she didn’t speak and didn’t express her opinion. She had always been quiet, so the other Song Family’s young ladies didn’t find it strange.
Madam Song and Xin He talked a lot, and before they knew it, it was getting late.
Madam Song wanted to get up and leave, but Xin He looked at the sky and thought it would be dark by the time they returned. After all, they were both women, and although they were escorted by guards, it was still not very safe. So she simply said: "Why not stay for the night and leave early tomorrow morning just as well?"
"Will it be too troublesome?" Madam Song hesitated.
Xin He laughed: "Don’t worry, although my place is small, I do have a few good guest rooms available. As long as Madam Song doesn’t mind."
Madam Song seemed to have made up her mind to stay, so she didn’t insist anymore: "Of course I won’t mind."
She then turned to her attendant: "Go back and tell them that we will be staying in Lian’an Town for the night."
"Yes."
The old woman turned and left hurriedly.
Who would have thought that not long after, a young servant came running in with a frantic look on his face.
"Madam, there’s trouble!" the servant said anxiously.
Madam Song’s face darkened: "What’s the matter? What are you panicking for! Weren’t you supposed to escort Miss Five back to the mansion just now? How did you come back all of a sudden?"
The servant made a bitter face: "I really don’t know what happened, Miss Five is gone!"
"Gone?! How do you people do your jobs?!" Madam Song’s voice went up an octave, her eyes glaring fiercely, as if she wanted to stare a hole right through the servant before her.
"It wasn’t intentional, we took the task very seriously. We watched Miss Five carefully all the way and took her back to the mansion for punishment. But who knew that she suddenly said she had a stomach ache and demanded to go to the latrine? We stopped at a station, and in the blink of an eye, Miss Five disappeared without a trace..."
The servant’s face was filled with bitterness and grievance.
How could he have imagined that Miss Five, who had made a huge mistake, would dare to run away? She was incredibly bold!
If it were other girls, they would probably cry all the way home, let alone run away. After returning home, they would voluntarily go to the ancestral hall to kneel and repent. Where would they dare to make any trouble? Are they really not afraid of death?
But the truth was, the wild Miss Five of the Song Family really wasn’t afraid of death!
Madam Song’s face had turned gloomy to the extreme. She never imagined that Song Ya Lan would dare to resist her orders like this. Did she think Madam Song really wouldn’t punish her?
Although Madam Song was from the third branch and shouldn’t have interfered in their family affairs, the third branch relied on the legitimate line of the Song family to maintain their glory. If they really separated, it would be interesting to see if anyone in the great Yu State would still take them seriously.
Even the third Madam Song dared not offend Madam Song too much because the people of the third branch at least had some brains. But Song Ya Lan seemed to be completely thoughtless.
Madam Song shouted: "Hurry up and find her! When you find her, bring her back to the mansion directly! It seems I really have to seriously consider sending her to our family temple. Having such a daughter is nothing but a disgrace to the Song family!"
"Yes!"
"Wait." Madam Song suddenly stopped him.
"Do you have any other instructions, Madam?"
"Go to the home of the third Madam’s mother and see if she’s hiding there. Where else could she hide?" Madam Song sneered coldly, looking very disdainful of Song Ya Lan.
"Yes."
Xin He looked on coldly, saying nothing. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with her, and indeed it had nothing to do with her.
