Zhu Zhenglong, the deputy general beside the Fourth Prince, walked directly to Xiao Yang's side: "Brother, let me ask you something. Are you able to assert your authority as a husband at home?" After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something and put his arm around Xiao Yang like a close friend.
"Brother Xiao, ask your wife if she has any other girls she can introduce me to. I like spicy girls like this. I'm intimidated by those 'well-bred' types; they're always saying 'no' or 'can't.' It's your sister-in-law who's got real kicks! Don't you think so, Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Yang replied with a grim expression, "No," then slapped away the hand that was on his shoulder and walked directly towards Song Yan'er.
Meanwhile, Shen Meng, who had finally come to her senses, clung to Song Yan'er like an octopus, saying, "I don't care, you've saved me twice today. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace but to offer myself to you!"
Song Yan'er...
Xiao Yang, who had just arrived here...
Why do both men and women want to steal his wife? He was so jealous that he immediately stepped forward and rescued Song Yan'er from the octopus.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" He manually turned Song Yan'er around and was relieved to see that she was alright.
Holding Song Yan'er's hand, he looked at Shen Meng and said, "Miss Shen, Yan'er is now my wife. I hope you will show some respect. Since Yan'er saved you twice today, you should not repay kindness with enmity and cause her trouble."
Shen Meng: "Me? Repaying kindness with enmity? When? I had no idea."
"If you offer yourself in marriage, wouldn't that be ruining your benefactor's marriage? Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?" Xiao Yang said seriously.
Song Yan'er burst out laughing, "Haha, haha, Xiao Yang, are you jealous? So cute!" She pinched Xiao Yang's cheek with one hand, then tiptoed and quickly planted a sweet kiss on his face. "Don't worry, no one can take your position as the main wife!"
Xiao Yang...
Thank you so much!
Chen Meng, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded. Holy crap, is this even possible? I've never seen anything like it before!
Suddenly, I also wanted to find a man!
At Shen Meng's insistence and with Song Yan'er adding another kiss, Song Yan'er and Shen Meng finally got to sit in the same carriage. All the way, Shen Meng's chattering voice made Song Yan'er's head ache. She regretted sitting in the same carriage with Shen Meng. Was it too late to switch now?
As planned, Song Yan'er escorted Shen Meng to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. After getting off the carriage, she bid a reluctant farewell to Shen Meng!
"Yan'er, I'll come to see you in the next few days, so please don't miss me too much!"
Song Yan'er was speechless. Who the hell wants a chatterbox? Isn't Xiao Yang good enough?
"My husband has an exam tomorrow, so I might not have time to spend with you," Song Yan'er was politely declining, but Shen Meng didn't understand at all.
"Tomorrow? Then I'll go with you to see him off. It's only because of you, don't be too touched! It's nothing!"
Song Yan'er: My god...
“Chenmeng, where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you? Can’t you be more mature? You’re eighteen years old now, not eight.”
A middle-aged man with an angry expression walked towards them. He wore a black robe embroidered with gold thread, and his imposing figure and weathered face, etched with the marks of time, made him appear like a handsome middle-aged man in his previous life! This was Shen Qingshan, the city lord father of Shenmeng.
"I only went out with my friend for half a day, what are you worried about? Didn't I tell Xiaoju before I went out? What are you so angry about?"
Although Xiaoju is Chenmeng's personal maid, she's actually working for that mother and daughter. Today, I need to take this opportunity to get rid of her; otherwise, having a spy by my side every day is really inconvenient. However, I only went out to buy books today, and it's only been half a day since I was arrested, so there's still time!
"You said you told Xiaoju? Then why did she tell me you were missing! Are you up to something again?"
"Father, what do you mean? I'm so heartbroken! You'd rather believe a maid than your own daughter! Don't you love me anymore? Do you want me to make room for that mother and daughter?" Shen Meng wiped away non-existent tears with a handkerchief, looking extremely sad. Of course, if Shen Meng hadn't winked at Song Yan'er when her father wasn't looking, Song Yan'er would have believed it too!
Song Yan'er was relieved. She had thought Shen Meng was genuinely heartbroken, but it turned out it was all an act.
Well, she's an award-winning actress!
Life is indeed like a play, and acting skills are required everywhere!
"Well, Uncle, Shenmeng really did go on the outing with me. We made plans a few days ago. I believe Shenmeng wouldn't do this on purpose to make you worry!"
"Furthermore, I believe that a maid who is truly devoted to her mistress would not jump to conclusions about her mistress's disappearance without understanding the situation. Disappearance is such a disgraceful event; if Shen Meng couldn't handle it, she wouldn't be able to go on living. I don't know what deep-seated hatred Shen Meng has for her, that she's pushing Shen Meng to the brink of death like this!"
We need to exaggerate the situation to directly eliminate the unscrupulous people around Shen Meng. Shen Meng's arrest must be related to these people! We should help her as much as we can, after all, I like Shen Meng very much. Of course, it would be even better if she wasn't such a chatterbox.
Shen Meng silently gave Song Yan'er a thumbs up. This sister is someone you can get along with!
"Who is this?" Shen Qingshan, Shen Meng's father, asked.
"Father, this is a good friend I met when I went to pray for blessings. She is currently staying at the Fourth Prince's residence." Shen Meng was a smart woman; by saying that Song Yan'er was staying at the Fourth Prince's residence, she implied that Song Yan'er had a noble status!
Shen Qingshan, being the city lord of Dongquan City, changed his expression very naturally. "Since you are a distinguished guest of the Fourth Prince, then I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive me, Madam!"
"Uncle, no need to be so polite. Chenmeng and I are good friends! Now that Chenmeng is home, I'll head back first, otherwise my husband will worry!"
"Okay, I'll come find you after I've sorted things out at home! I should be able to make it to the exam tomorrow!"
Song Yan'er: There's no need to rush like this! It's not like I absolutely need you!
Shen Meng seemed to understand Song Yan'er's gaze, and looked at Song Yan'er with some hurt in her eyes! Seeing this, Song Yan'er felt like she was a terrible woman.
Xiao Yang also looked at himself with that expression!
Song Yan'er shuddered at the non-existent goosebumps on her body, feeling a chill at her own thoughts!
When Song Yan'er arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence, she could clearly feel that there were more people in the residence, and the soldiers looked at her with a burning gaze and a hint of hope!
What happened? Did I become famous overnight? But I didn't even unleash my full power, I only exchanged a few blows, it shouldn't be like this! These soldiers are seasoned veterans, they shouldn't be like this!
The answer to all of this became clear when Song Yan'er entered the main house!
