Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 139 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (18)

As more and more people gathered, the place was packed with people, but people were very sensible and kept a distance from Song Lingxi, and some even stood against the wall.

When the servant of the Song Mansion saw this, he hurriedly ran into the Song Mansion to report: "Oh no, oh no, the eldest lady is coming with a group of people!"

The servant's words immediately aroused confusion among the people in the Song Mansion. What did this mean?

Seeing the boy about to break into the main hall, the maid Yexiao who was guarding the door hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, who are you? Do you know who the Madam is meeting inside? How dare you break in?"

The servant recognized her as the little maid who often followed the lady around, and he grabbed her sleeve and said, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Ms. Snack, I'm the concierge. I saw the eldest lady come back. There's a crowd of people gathered at the door. Quickly report to the madam."

Ye Xiao calculated the date and knew that today was the day when the eldest girl would return home for the third day, but she frowned and scolded this boy, wondering why he was so unstable.

"You can't make such a fuss. Madam is meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess. That's Her Royal Highness the Princess. If you disturb the distinguished guest, you will lose several heads."

The boy's face turned pale, and he shut up, standing beside Ye Xiao with his head down. He was just a gatekeeper, how could he afford to offend someone like the eldest princess?

Seeing that he had calmed down, Ye Xiao was satisfied and glanced at him arrogantly: "I will go and report to my wife, you can go back."

The servant didn't dare to say anything else and just mumbled "yes".

……

Song Lingxi and her friends finally broke free from the crowd and saw that the gate of the Song Mansion had been opened. However, the person leading the crowd was not her stepmother, but her good sister.

Song Lingyu was wearing a round-necked green lotus-woven skirt and had her hair in a flying bun. When she saw them looking at her, she bowed to them in a gentle voice, acting like a lady from a noble family.

"Hello, sister and brother-in-law. My parents are meeting with Her Royal Highness the Princess and cannot leave. I have specially ordered you to meet me here."

This really made them lose face. If no one was there to meet them, it would be fine. They could just say that the Song Mansion was being disrespectful. But they only had an unmarried girl come. Was they trying to gain fame by stepping on her head?

Song Lingxi narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on Xie Changling's big hand. The expression on her face was full of disgust that she couldn't hide, and her eyes were filled with anger.

Xie Changling's eyes never left Song Lingxi. Seeing that Song Lingxi looked unhappy, he held her small hand with his big hand and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Song Lingxi looked up and saw Xie Changling winking at her, as if saying, "Watch how your husband will avenge you." This stunned Song Lingxi.

"Since my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not available today, I will not bother them. I am ungrateful and I apologize for my mistake."

Xie Changling's voice was as gentle as the breeze and bright moon, and he had a clear and pleasant voice. Although he said this, there was no trace of apology on his face. There was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.

Song Lingyu frowned and looked at Xie Changling in front of her. Her eyes were inexplicably moist. The onlookers thought that she was thin-skinned and felt wronged and wanted to cry because she was humiliated.

Only Song Lingxi knew that Song Lingyu had always coveted Xie Changling, but she gave up on Xie Changling because she had poor health and there was a possibility that she would become a widow at any time if she married him.

However, looking at the man's appearance, he is now in very good health, with a strong body, ruddy complexion, and extraordinary handsomeness. He does not look like he will die soon.

Song Lingyu's dead heart came back to life, and even began to stir.

But when she thought of Her Royal Highness the Princess in the main hall, the flame that had just risen was extinguished again, and there was a bit more loneliness in her eyes.

Xie Changling didn't pay attention to her. He just wanted to vent his anger for his young wife. Seeing that everyone did not leave, he began his lobbying.

"But, the Song Mansion would like to ask you a question. Why is the indenture of my wife's maid still in the Song Mansion? Do you want to be a slave to these two families?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. Endless discussions rushed into Song Lingyu's ears, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Second Miss Song, we know you are young and immature. Could you please return the slave's indenture after you have received the distinguished guest?"

Xie Changling's attitude was not aggressive, but rather courteous. Therefore, the spectators did not think that Xie Changling's attitude was bad, but rather that he was too polite.

"This young master is so polite, he is worthy of being the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is really gentle and kind like jade, a gentleman like jade."

"What? This person is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Didn't he say that he would not live long? How come he is so healthy?"

"You may not know that the eldest son of the Xiangfu was in poor health, but the master said that marrying a girl from the Song family would help him get rid of the bad luck. It seems that Miss Song is the lucky star."

"Miss Song is so stunningly beautiful, like a fairy from heaven, no wonder she can dispel disasters."

"goddess!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Someone shouted "Goddess" first, and the people behind him followed suit. The noise was so deafening that Song Lingxi felt inexplicably shy.

Xie Changling stood beside her and raised his hand to signal people to calm down. The title of "Goddess" sounded nice, but if it displeased the higher-ups, it would be disastrous.

"Thank you all for your kindness to my wife. However, my husband and I have just been married for a short time. We will return to the Song Mansion in three days to pay our respects."

"I really don't want to disturb my father-in-law and mother-in-law from meeting the distinguished guests. Please don't shout too loudly. We only have a small request, which is to take back the indentures of a few maids and servants."

Xie Changling used kind words to persuade and successfully brought the topic back to the point of being a trivial matter that made the Song family lose face.

"Oh, Mrs. Song is so dishonest. She really is not her biological child, but she wants to control him."

"Ah? Isn't it said that she is a good stepmother and treats the eldest girl as her own daughter? How could she do such a thing as withholding the dowry and selling her body indenture?"

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Madam Song only says that she is good to the young lady, but when has she ever brought the young lady out to a banquet?"

"I also heard that Madam Song is planning to marry her eldest daughter to her nephew who is a drunkard and a whore!"

"Ah, there is such a saying. He is really hypocritical. If she is not his biological daughter, he will push her into the fire pit."

"That's right. With the eldest girl's looks, if Madam Song brings her to the banquet to show her face, what role will the second girl have?"

Everyone started talking at once, one person saying something at a time, successfully destroying the image of a loving mother that Mrs. Song had cultivated over the years.

No matter how scheming Song Lingyu was, she had never experienced such a serious incident as verbal criticism. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she no longer had the graceful and elegant demeanor she had just had.

It was the same servant who was smart. He went in and passed the message before anyone could react.
