Xiao Yang blushed, which was rare for him. Since marrying Song Yan'er, Xiao Yang had become more thick-skinned, but in front of so many people, especially with Shen Meng staring at him, Xiao Yang still felt that he hadn't mastered it yet!
In contrast, Song Yan'er acted as if nothing had happened after the kiss, looking at Chen Meng:
"Haven't you heard of 'Don't look at what is improper'?"
Deep in Dreams...
Damn, who knew you'd be so bold? Besides, did you even give me time to leave?
After kissing Xiao Yang, Song Yan'er seemed to be fully recharged, and she licked her slightly swollen red lips with her tongue:
"Husband, we should go in. After all, you're the star of the show today, it wouldn't be right if you didn't!"
Xiao Yang was already used to Song Yan'er's double standards, so he nodded and agreed that it was indeed time to go in.
Song Yan'er: "Oh my, the top scholar is here!"
Xiao Yang...
Seeing everyone in the courtyard looking at him at the same time, Xiao Yang silently vowed to keep Song Yan'er away from the old lady. It's true, Song Yan'er is becoming more and more like the old lady!
"He really is the top scholar! Not bad, you can tell at a glance he's no ordinary person, so handsome!"
"Yes, if the top scholar becomes successful in the future, he mustn't forget us, his neighbors!"
"If I had known, I would have taken the gamble! I never thought he would actually become the top scorer!"
With everyone talking at once, Xiao Yang couldn't get a word in edgewise! He looked pleadingly at the old lady in the middle of the circle!
The old lady saw the look in Xiao Yang's eyes.
Hmm, I can't see it, I can't see it!
Xiao Yang...
What a fake grandson!
Shen Meng and Song Yan'er watched the spectacle with smiles on their faces!
"Hey sister, why don't you go help your husband? He's obviously not good at this!"
Song Yan'er rolled her eyes: "These are all things he'll have to go through in the future, it's good for him to get used to them sooner! Besides, these people aren't as complicated as those in officialdom!"
Chen Meng thought about it and realized that Bai Zihua was different from before when he entered the business world; he had become much more shrewd!
"Yang'er!"
Upon hearing the voice, Song Yan'er turned around and, as expected, it was Bai Yang! After all, only Bai Yang would use such a soft voice to elicit sympathy!
Xiao Yang was still in the crowd and hadn't left, so he didn't hear Bai Yang's voice because he was chattering away!
Song Yan'er looked at Bai Yang with amusement:
"What, I heard your son became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and your maternal instincts are overflowing!"
"Ahem!" Shen Meng only knew that Song Yan'er was awesome, but she didn't know that Song Yan'er was this awesome. My God, that's your mother-in-law! And her own mother!
If I had that kind of courage, then...
"As expected of someone from the countryside, so short-sighted. I really don't know what good it would do you if Madam and Xiao Yang became enemies?"
Before Bai Yang could speak, the nanny beside her couldn't stand it anymore!
Song Yan'er smiled dismissively:
"You two were on good terms? I had no idea. Don't try to pin this on me. Besides, what good would it do me to be on good terms with you? Drugged you? Don't be ridiculous!"
Bai Yang's face turned red with anger, and she stopped being polite:
"Don't forget, no matter what, I am Xiao Yang's biological mother and your mother-in-law. If I wanted to use the concept of filial piety, I could manipulate you like a chicken. I just don't want to stoop to your level, so don't be ungrateful!"
Song Yan'er gave a mocking smile:
"You can try and see if the word 'filial piety' can suppress me. Filial piety is for those who deserve it, but you? Forget it. Have you forgotten what you've done? To put it bluntly, what you're saying is utterly shameless!"
Bai Yang:
"You? How could you say such a thing? I'm an elder, how could you speak to me like that? Xiao Yang, is this the good wife you chose?"
Xiao Yang had just seen Bai Yang arrive, and after thinking about tomorrow's events, he understood Bai Yang's purpose in coming!
After the results were announced, the imperial court held an important event: the top scholar's parade through the streets. All the successful candidates would put on the official robes issued by the court and parade through the streets under the leadership of the newly appointed top scholar, receiving the congratulations of the people!
The "Catch the Son-in-Law" event is the biggest highlight, and it's likely that Bai Yang is planning to sabotage it again, since she just can't stand Song Yan'er!
"What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yang walked to Song Yan'er's side, took her left hand, and directly expressed his attitude!
"You're my son, can't I come to see you?"
"Oh!"
Song Yan'er couldn't help but want to complain to Shen Meng, and didn't want to listen to this woman's boring talk here!
Let go of Xiao Yang's hand, and get ready to go for a walk with Shen Meng!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yang wouldn't let go at all:
"Sister, are you angry? I'm on your side, so please don't be angry with me!"
Song Yan'er...
Bai Yang...
Deep in Dreams...
This was truly the first time I'd seen Bai Yang get the short end of the stick. Because of General Xiao, when Bai Yang returned to her parents' home, her nephews and nieces-in-law considered themselves her elders and bossed her around. So, very few people in the Bai family actually liked Bai Yang, except for her brothers!
Bai Yang finally understood that she was probably not as good as Song Yan'er in Xiao Yang's eyes!
So let's not waste any more time:
"Xiao Yang, Princess Jing'an's reputation has been ruined because of you, so tomorrow you should give your hairpin to Princess Jing'an in public, so that others will think that you admire Princess Jing'an, not that she is throwing herself at you!"
"After all, you're already married, so this kind of reputation doesn't matter to you anymore. But Jing'an is a woman, and this world is inherently unfair to women, so please grant her wish! Anyway, it doesn't matter to you!"
Xiao Yang smiled instead of getting angry, as if he had already gotten used to Bai Yang's selfless way of thinking about others:
"Why do you think I don't care? I need a good reputation too! Besides, she brought this on herself, why should I help her!"
Bai Yang couldn't believe these words came from her own son's mouth:
"Xiao Yang! Her reputation is ruined because of you. Shouldn't you take responsibility for her?"
Hearing this from the side, Song Yan'er felt a chill for Xiao Yang:
"If anyone should be held responsible, it's you. What does the drug you administered have to do with Xiao Yang? Can't you genuinely and without any ulterior motives consider Xiao Yang's feelings? I've never seen a mother like you, sacrificing your own son to protect this princess who appeared out of nowhere! Seriously, I feel like you've lost your mind!"
Song Yan'er spoke without restraint. Honestly, if she weren't Xiao Yang's biological mother, she would have slapped her across the face. What a piece of trash!
Turning to look at Xiao Yang, thankfully, he didn't see any sadness on his face. He probably had come to terms with it, after all, Bai Yang really wasn't good enough for him!
She doesn't deserve to be Xiao Yang's mother!
Xiao Yang is such a good person, and she doesn't know how to cherish him. She'll regret it later!
