Chapter 69 Discipline Do I have to say something unpleasant?
Perhaps they were soulmates, Song Baoyuan thought, so she tolerated them.
She asked everyone else to go back first and stayed behind to guard the place.
But another whole hour passed, it was completely dark, and they showed no signs of ending.
Jiang Suisui was so bored that she fell asleep in her father's arms.
Thinking of Chengcheng being alone at home, Song Baoyuan began to feel anxious.
After much hesitation, she decided to "break them up".
Because her daughter was asleep in the room, Song Baoyuan spoke softly when she came.
"It's already the 11am hour."
She glanced at the chess game situation. From her limited understanding, the game was still a fierce battle with no clear winner.
"Hold on."
"I'll be right there."
The two were extremely focused, as if winning or losing depended on something extremely important, and neither of them could afford the cost of failure.
Song Baoyuan didn't know what to say and stood there for almost half a quarter of an hour.
It's really annoying.
"Give me the Suisui."
When she spoke again, she reached out for her daughter, her voice still low, but much colder.
The two of them looked up at her at the same time. Xie Yu, who was about to make a move, paused as he suddenly felt the chess piece in his hand was hot.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Jiang Keyu's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
"Give me the New Year's ears of corn!" Song Baoyuan raised her tone, revealing more emotions.
Jiang Keyu quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you home."
"No thanks." Song Baoyuan frowned. "I have to take Sui Sui home first. She can't sleep here, and Cheng Cheng will be scared if she's home alone. As for you, just keep playing chess. The teahouse is closed, so don't worry about it. The child is unattended."
"I……"
"Give me!"
Jiang Keyu took a half step back holding his daughter, as if the amulet was his only one and he didn't dare to hand it over easily.
Xie Yuchao on the opposite side felt as if he was being watched with suspicion. He didn't even have time to throw away the chess piece in his hand, and he couldn't sit still either.
After he stood up, he was in a dilemma, feeling that it was not right to leave now, and it was not right not to leave either.
"No more." Jiang Keyu avoided Song Baoyuan's sight, "I'll take you home now."
"No need, it's not like I don't know the way."
Jiang Keyu wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she walked around her and walked out the door holding her daughter.
This was taking her daughter hostage, so Song Baoyuan had no choice but to follow, feeling increasingly angry.
"Master Xie, please go home as soon as possible."
She left behind these words when she left, which made Xie Yuchao feel panicked and empty.
Jiang Keyu got on the carriage first and waited for half a minute before Song Baoyuan came in.
All the way in silence.
It was not until halfway through the journey that Jiang Suisui was awakened by the moving carriage, and he rubbed his eyes and slowly woke up.
It had been a long time since she woke up and saw her parents at the same time. She rubbed her face and made sure she was not dreaming. Then she jumped up excitedly, "Daddy! Mommy!"
"Um?"
Jiang Suisui happily spun around in circles, calling out to her parents.
Song Baoyuan and Jiang Keyu didn't understand why, but they still responded to the child tirelessly.
The atmosphere in the carriage gradually improved.
After returning to the old house, Jiang Keyu took the initiative to take the child to a bath and coax him to sleep, which took more than an hour.
Song Baoyuan had some free time and was leisurely doing her own things, sitting in front of the dressing table and taking care of her long hair.
Qiao Yin came in with lotus seed soup. "Miss, you only ate half a sweet potato today, and it was mushy. Drink some lotus seed soup before bed to nourish your stomach."
As she put down the bowl, she said, "The young lady is being particularly clingy today. She's probably going to pester her husband and not let him leave."
"I see that my dear does not want to leave either."
Qiao Yue walked by holding the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow and couldn't help but slander.
"Maybe he didn't have enough fun with Mr. Xie next door," Song Baoyuan said indifferently. "By the way, we got home late today and didn't see Sister Qiuying. How is she?"
Qiao Yin pursed her lips. "I knew the young lady would ask, so I just took the time to go to Miss Tan. The maid who served her said that she stayed in the house all day, and at night..."
After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, Song Baoyuan turned her head in surprise, "Why don't you say anything?"
Qiao Yin entangled her hands in confusion and lowered her voice, "I heard that our husband had come last night, so I left the room and asked people about his preferences."
Song Baoyuan was stunned.
"Miss Tan, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Qiao Yin said unhappily. "Even if you and your husband have divorced, it's still... not good."
Song Baoyuan felt mixed emotions. "She has no other choice. I guess she has to think for herself."
"But Miss has already promised to help her. Even if she wants to find another way out for herself, she shouldn't target our husband."
Qiao Yin pouted, "Even I feel disgusted."
"What if they're just trying to please him?" Song Baoyuan said, "How can you think so badly of someone just because you found out about their preferences?"
"I'm not making malicious speculations, but she dressed up specially, so it's hard not to think too much." Qiao Yin said in a low voice.
This unexpected event made Song Baoyuan look dazed. She couldn't imagine that Sister Qiuying would do such a thing.
Although she was somewhat unhappy, her current status meant that she was clearly not qualified to care.
Qiao Yue was worried. "If, I mean if, if Miss Tan really wants to get close to me, what will you do?"
"Of course I wish them the best." Song Baoyuan said without hesitation, suppressing the disgust in her heart.
She lowered her head and combed the ends of her hair. "One is a brother and the other is a sister. If they can really get together, it would not be a good thing."
"What's so beautiful about it?" Qiao Yue couldn't hide her indignation.
She tilted her head and had a bold idea, "Miss, what do you think of Mr. Xie?"
Song Baoyuan glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean by asking this?"
"I see that Master Xie is handsome, has a good temper, and most importantly, has no family background. He is the perfect son-in-law for my young lady!"
Song Baoyuan laughed. "Mr. Xie may seem gentle, but he's actually a man with a lot of ambition. How could he be willing to be someone's son-in-law?"
"Who can say for sure?" Qiao Yue disagreed.
She sensed something was amiss, "Miss, you're just worried that Mr. Xie doesn't want to be his son-in-law, so you have a crush on him!"
Qiao Yin was very excited after hearing this, her eyes shining. "Really? Actually, I also think Mr. Xie is a good person. Standing together with the young lady, they look like a perfect match."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop imagining things." Song Baoyuan shook her head and lightly changed the subject. "Go and check for me to see if the young master and the young lady are asleep."
Qiao Yue and Qiao Yin exchanged a look, their smiles full of meaning. Qiao Yue put her clothes in order, nodded, and walked out, "Yes."
The door was not closed. As she stepped over the threshold, she looked up and saw a figure hidden in the night. She was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, her heart terrified.
"Lang, Lang Jun."
She looked like she had seen a ghost, and her voice was trembling.
Jiang Keyu's expression outside the door was cold.
Seeing this, Song Baoyuan stood up and stood in front of the bewildered Qiao Yue.
"Brother, why are you here? Is Sui Sui asleep?"
Jiang Keyu stared at her calm face, his heart seemed to be filled with cotton, stuffy and itchy, making him anxious and uneasy.
"A beautiful thing?" He sneered. "Where's the beauty in it?"
Song Baoyuan didn't react immediately, "What?"
She felt a little uncomfortable under the other person's gaze, so she turned her face away, "If Chengcheng and Suisui are both asleep, there's nothing else to worry about, you..."
"Are you going to kick me out again?"
Jiang Keyu interrupted her and tightened her grip, "Starting tonight, I will move back."
Song Baoyuan's eyes widened instantly. "Why?"
"If you really don't want to see me, I can choose not to come back." Jiang Keyu's tone gradually hardened, "But you have to promise not to have any contact with the man next door anymore."
Puzzled, Song Baoyuan frowned, "Why?"
Jiang Keyu was firm. "The man next door is no ordinary scholar. The power behind him is complex and intricate. If you get too close to him, you will definitely get into trouble. If you don't cut off contact with him, I will have no choice but to stay by your side and Chengcheng Suisui's side myself."
"Why would there be trouble for no reason?" Song Baoyuan thought he was unreasonable. "Isn't it really your prejudice?"
"Whatever you think." Jiang Keyu turned sideways. "And that woman in the side courtyard is completely different from your former friend. I will arrange for someone to send her back to the Tan family tomorrow. You don't have to worry about her anymore."
Sending Sister Qiuying away at this time?
Song Baoyuan suddenly became furious. "Who gives you the right to make the decision? What does it have to do with you who I associate with?"
"I must be responsible for you!"
"I don't need it!"
Song Baoyuan clenched her fists in anger. "You want me to cut off contact with people just because you're unhappy. I don't like any of your friends either. How have I ever interfered with your freedom?"
The quarrel broke out again, and the servants in front and behind all tried to avoid it.
Jiang Keyu was puzzled. "I've already explained Sheng Qiyin's situation to you. It was you who misunderstood first. Besides, I no longer have anything to do with her."
"Misunderstanding?" Song Baoyuan sneered, "The painting was a misunderstanding, the words were a misunderstanding, and you leaving me to go find her was also a misunderstanding?"
"Have I ever abandoned you?"
Song Baoyuan didn't want to bring up the past, but if she didn't say it out loud, she would be being unreasonable.
"On the day of the Chang Mansion's housewarming party, you knew I was wronged, but she still sent me away with just one word!"
Jiang Keyu was slightly stunned, recalling that day.
"I was going out to clean up the mess, not to look for her!"
He felt a little helpless. "If you want me to stay with you, why don't you tell me? You don't tell me anything and keep everything in your heart. How should I know?"
"You don't care about me at all and won't spend any time on me, so of course you don't know!"
Song Baoyuan felt a surge of grievance and anger, and the corners of her eyes turned red. "It's okay if you don't know. Some things can't be forced. But since we're already divorced, why are you pretending to care and concern?"
Pack?
Jiang Keyu's heart was beating fast, not knowing whether it was because of anger or pain, and her eyes were full of disbelief, "You..."
"I don't need your help!"
Song Baoyuan stepped forward and pushed him away. "So what if I caused trouble? I've brought this upon myself. I'm reaping the consequences. Even if I fall into a ditch and die tomorrow, it's none of your business. You don't need to be so hypocritical!"
"If I really wanted to discipline you, you wouldn't even be able to leave the house!"
"Do I have to thank you?" Song Baoyuan felt ridiculous.
She raised her hand and pointed to the door. "Can you just treat me as an ungrateful person? Leave, leave now!"
Jiang Keyu's body was slightly stiff, and she felt cold from head to toe, unable to move at all.
"Do you really have to ask me to say something unpleasant?"
Song Baoyuan couldn't believe that these words came out of her own mouth, "This is my home, I don't want to see you here, can you..."
"Get out."
