Chapter 152 Marriage (3) Wedding Night_4
"There, there, what's there to feel aggrieved about." Xie Ruotong gave a gentle smile. "Isn't there food to eat now?"
"Miss, the young master treats you like this." Qiao'er was somewhat indignant. "How can you still not care?"
That's because, what's the use of caring about it?
Isn't it just making things harder for oneself?!
After finishing the snacks, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "I'm a bit sleepy, so I'll go to bed now."
"Okay." Qiao'er quickly helped Xie Ruotong into bed.
"Put out the candlelight."
"Yes."
Qiao'er blew out the candle.
The room suddenly plunged into darkness.
Moonlight filtered through the window lattice.
From now on.
It would be another kind of life!
...
The next day.
Daybreak had just arrived.
Qiao'er woke Xie Ruotong.
Xie Ruotong also had some insomnia last night.
It was the first time she was in a strange place. Although she could adapt when she was an assassin, after all, coming to the Song Residence, with a different status, there was still some discomfort.
She finally fell asleep.
And now she was woken up so early.
"Miss, today we need to serve morning tea to Grandfather and Grandmother, so we must get up early," Qiao'er said.
"Okay." Xie Ruotong was sleepy but did not refuse.
"Today, Qiao'er will definitely dress the miss up beautifully, so the young master can take a good look at you."
Xie Ruotong smiled, "Just dress casually."
"Miss."
"Song Yanqing's heart is with Ruolin, I can't outshine her anyway, and it would only make Song Yanqing and Ruolin think I harbor ill intentions."
"But miss, don't you want to live a good life with the young master? Don't you wish the young master would treat you better?"
"Qiao'er, Song Yanqing would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for Ruolin, whatever I do, it's incomparable to her. Rather than that, it's better to bless them. If I respect his affections, he will respect me. In this way, our days in the Song Residence will not be too hard."
"Miss, how can you think like this? Since you are married, since it was a proper marriage, the young master should treat you well and give you more attention." Qiao'er was discontent with the miss's too ordinary attitude.
"Trust me. It won't go wrong," Xie Ruotong did not want to offer too much explanation.
By marrying Song Yanqing, she only thought of mutual respect, treating each other with courtesy.
"If it's really as the miss said, why agree to this marriage? Without love, how can the miss be happy for the rest of her life?" Qiao'er was very unsatisfied.
"Being rejected by Song Yanqing in marriage would mean no decent family would propose again. I actually don't care about marriage, but Grandmother would be heartbroken. Therefore, since marriage has become like this, it's better to let Grandmother rest assured and marry me off to Song Yanqing."
"Miss, your nature is too kind; it's easy for you to be bullied. In fact, the second miss is not as literate and magnanimous as others see. The second miss's jealousy and competitive spirit is very strong. When the miss was not around, she was always competing with the third miss, always trying to outdo her."
"If I don't provoke her, she won't provoke me," Xie Ruotong naturally thought, let everyone keep to themselves and all will be well.
Qiao'er wanted to say something else.
Xie Ruotong interrupted her directly, "Quickly change clothes, it won't be good if we're late."
Qiao'er held back and dared not say more.
Xie Ruotong changed into a light green outfit, fresh and natural, the clean and transparent elegance of a lady, graceful and composed.
Although Qiao'er felt that the miss would look better dressed in bright clothes and lavish accessories, this look was not inferior to others.
Just that, the aura was a bit weaker.
The two of them walked together towards the main hall.
Just as they reached the corridor of the mansion, they saw Song Yanqing and Xie Ruilin hand in hand, appearing on the corridor as well.
Today, Song Yanqing also wore a blue outfit, his handsome features exuding a scholarly air, polished and extraordinary.
Xie Ruilin wore her favorite red and purple outfit, lively and pretty. After the bridal chamber the previous night, she seemed to have gained a touch of charm, giving off a round and lustrous appearance. One could tell at a glance the joy in her expression.
Such an accidental encounter.
Xie Ruilin quickly concealed the smile on her face and immediately withdrew her hand from Song Yanqing's, appearing as if frightened.
As if, afraid of being scolded by Xie Ruotong.
"Hello, sister," she said, very respectfully making a greeting.
Pitifully endearing.
Song Yanqing saw it all and was naturally unhappy in his heart.
He had no idea how much Xie Ruilin had been bullied in the Duke Mansion, to react to Xie Ruotong like a mouse to a cat.
He pulled Xie Ruilin's hand again, holding her small hand tightly in his palm.
From beginning to end, he did not give a proper look to Xie Ruotong once, taking Xie Ruilin and striding ahead.
Xie Ruotong just watched their departing backs.
Qiao'er at the side was so angry she stomped her feet.
It was clear that the second miss was deliberately putting on an act.
In the Duke Mansion, she never showed such respect and fear towards the eldest miss.
She was just putting on a show for the young master.
To make the young master believe that her miss was always bullying the second miss, making her so scared and frightened.
In doing so, what would the miss look like in the young master's eyes now?!
Qiao'er knew that the second miss, from being the principal wife to a concubine, would definitely not just swallow her pride!
The second miss will certainly find a way to take revenge on the eldest miss!
