Bondage

"Miss, Aunt Lin is still waiting outside the courtyard."

Lv Zhu looked at the ticket in his hand several times, his almond eyes widened with anger.

Song Wan tidied her hair and asked Heng Zhi to accompany her out.

Lin Jiayue was accompanied by two little girls, and when they saw Song Wan, they saluted together. Lin Jiayue smiled, and her demeanor looked very ladylike at first glance.

"I just gave the receipt in abbreviated form to your maid, and now I'm here to collect the money."

Song Wandao: "Since Husband has written the ticket for you, you can go directly to the general affairs of the mansion to get the money, and you don't need to find me."

Asking the second-class maid in the room to bring tea, Song Wan waited for Lin Jiayue to speak.

Since Jiang Xingjian bypassed her and transferred the money to Lin Jiayue, it meant that he also knew that this behavior was unreasonable and would never let Lin Jiayue come to him. Now that she came to him, he didn't know it was to show off , or ready to show off.

Sure enough, Song Wan couldn't hold his tea for a moment of silence, but Lin Jiayue lost her composure.

"Jiang Xingjian gave me money to open a shop, are you not angry?"

"You really don't learn the rules well."

Lin Jiayue's complexion darkened when she heard the word "rules", "He just likes my temperament, and he won't be too boring."

Song Wan squeezed the teacup tightly, and was about to leave with a chuckle, but Lin Jiayue said, "Is this interesting to you? Is it really happy to be a widow as a concubine and deceive yourself every day?"

"Presumptuous, how can you be rude in front of Madam?"

Song Wan waved his hand, Heng Zhi stepped back and said nothing.

"According to Aunt Lin, what should I do?"

Lin Jiayue looked at Song Wan with firm eyes: "I have no hostility towards you, I just don't understand that Xing Jian doesn't like you, why do you stay in the Hou Mansion all the time? You have wasted six years, why are you still Do you want to continue to waste time?"

"..."

Song Wan returned to the main seat and said flatly, "I really don't understand what you mean."

"What's wrong with this? Xing Jian and I are in love with each other. He once said that he would marry me when he returned to Shangjing, but who would have thought that there would be such a stupid woman in this world who would hold a memorial tablet?" Marry in and be a widow?"

Lin Jiayue looked at Song Wan, also full of unease.

It is obvious that she and Jiang Xingjian fell in love first, so why is it as if she has meddled in someone else?Although she had confidence in herself, Jiang Xingjian couldn't help worrying when she was with Song Wan.

She is his nominal first wife, and they go to Fuhe Hall to greet the old lady together every morning and evening, and all the things in their courtyard are in pairs. Speaking of compliments.

Although the two of them had never had any intimate actions, Lin Jiayue couldn't help feeling jealous.

Obviously, Jiang Xingjian is her lover.

"Have you ever thought that your irresponsible behavior to yourself will also cause trouble to others?"

Song Wan blinked, trying to understand what Lin Jiayue meant by causing trouble to others.

She used to think she was smart, but Lin Jiayue couldn't understand a single word she said.

Looking up at the girl in front of him, Song Wan still doesn't understand what Jiang Xingjian loves about her?

If it is skinny, she feels that she is better. If it is said that her family background and Jiang Xingjian are not high marriages, is it true that as Lin Jiayue said, she is too boring?

But since she was a child, she has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and female red. She has even dabbled in various schools of thought, poetry, and Fu. How can she be boring?

"You have a good family background, even if you leave Jiang Xingjian, you can still find another person you like?"

Originally, Song Wan was still thinking about whether he was bored, but when he heard this sentence, his brows tightened.

Heng Zhi was so angry that she picked up the hot tea in front of her and splashed it on Lin Jiayue's face: "You like to make a fool of yourself, and you can't get enough of flirting with the uncle all day long, and you still want to insult our young lady. Clear name? You are a woman with a black heart and a rotten lung, and death is not a pity."

"Hengzhi."

Seeing that she was still going forward, Song Wan stopped her.

Although the hot tea was not hot, it was really humiliating to be splashed all over the face, Lin Jiayue couldn't help shouting, "I'm doing it for your own good, why are you so crazy?"

The two little girls stepped forward to wipe Lin Jiayue's face, but Song Wan stared at her without blinking.

It took a long time before she was sure that the people in front of her had no malicious intentions except for the arrogance of contempt for her.

Lin Jiayue really thought that what she said was for her own good.

Song Wan suddenly became curious.

"The aristocratic family has never had a divorced wife. The departure you said is impossible to happen. And don't you know that my court stipulates that you should not be a concubine as a wife. Those who take concubines and Hakka women as wives will be punished for one and a half years?"

"It's fine if it's a businessman or a commoner. For a noble family like the Hou's Mansion, even if I die in the future, I will have to choose another successor. I will never do such things as raising a concubine as a wife, which is against ethics. "

If Lin Jiayue hadn't been a concubine, even if she was a concubine who wasn't on the genealogy, there might still be room for change in this matter, until now, everything was just empty talk.

"impossible."

Lin Jiayue's face turned pale: "I don't believe that the aristocratic family can't be reconciled. Could it be that they are a pair of resentful couples who are bound to die together?"

Song Wan lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "You are so determined to talk to Li Yi, but Husband... what did he promise you?"

"he……"

Did Jiang Xingjian promise to marry her as his wife, and let her be the mistress of the Hou Mansion?

Lin Jiayue thought back carefully, and suddenly realized that Jiang Xingjian had never said such a thing since returning to the Hou's Mansion, and even on the day he moved to Xiuyan Pavilion, he only said trust me.

Sweat dripped from her face, and Lin Jiayue suddenly panicked.

Seeing this, Song Wan said: "The reason why the family has never had a divorce is because reconciliation is an important matter for the clan. It needs two houses or two clans to burn incense and open temples. The patriarchs of the two clans have worshiped the ancestors and the heavens and the earth. After agreeing, we can reconcile."

"Although there are few reconciliations and divorces, there are many divorces and abandonments. A man who is dissatisfied with his first wife can leave his wife seven times or abandon his wife righteously."

Lin Jiayue raised her head abruptly, with hope rising in her heart.

Song Wan pursed her lips, feeling that Lin Jiayue's thoughts became more and more ridiculous.

Don't say that she has the support of the Song family and her aunt, the Hou family will not have the courage to divorce her, just say that she has been widowed for Jiang Xingjian for six years, the Holy Majesty will not let the Hou family stop his wife and remarry.

"Why did my husband allocate 2000 taels of silver to you to open a shop?"

Lin Jiayue said with a pale face, "I found a way to make ice in summer and earn money for the Hou Mansion."

"You asked my husband if he was angry at giving you money to start a shop, and I will answer you now."

Song Wan's eyes were calm, she looked at Lin Jiayue and said: "Only the dowry is private property of my daughter's family. Now that the Marquis's house is not separated, everything that goes out and comes in is the official accounts. Uncle also has no private property, at least on the surface, there will be and cannot be."

"And you were born in a concubine's house, and you don't have a dowry at all. Even if your husband dotes on you, he will just give you a piece of money, so you ask me if I am angry, it is really..."

"Somewhat ridiculous."
