New Song Dynasty: My Wife is an Imperial Princess

Looking at the three little girls standing in front of him, Tang Qian was so angry that he laughed.

The fact that all three wives were pregnant at the same time caught Tang Qian off guard, but he wasn't so desperate as to not even spare Chu Xia, a girl who had just turned fifteen.

As for Xiao Li and Rong'er, he had spent quite a bit of time with them, but Tang Qian truly regarded them as his younger sisters. He was even thinking that once they found their sweethearts, he would give them a grand wedding. He believed that with the Guangling City Lord's Mansion as a strong backing, no one would dare to bully these young ladies.

Tang Qianzhen simply couldn't bring himself to take all three of them as his concubines.

"Your young lady is just a troublemaker." He glared at Chu Xia, seeing that the girl was terrified and didn't dare to look up.

Seeing their sisters being scolded, Xiao Li and Rong'er were furious. One of them shielded Chu Xia behind her, while the other put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Tang Qian: "Don't think you can bully Chu Xia just because she's new to the family and doesn't know anything. Do you think we're just here for nothing, coming here to serve you? If you're angry, go take it out on your wife. What kind of behavior is this, bullying us?"

Tang Qian was speechless after being rebuked by Xiao Li, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, I know you were just following orders. This is not your fault. Go back and tell your young lady not to cause trouble."

After sending the three away, Tang Qian shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed he would still have to assign some tasks to his three wives in the future. They were idle at home all day, only knowing how to think about those trivial matters. No wonder the concubines in palace dramas were so powerful.

After leaving the study, Chu Xia took the lead and ran to report to Ye Qingmiao, while Xiao Li and Rong'er lagged behind. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the two whispered to each other.

"Didn't you say you wanted to stay by your young lady's side forever? If we don't become servants to the young master, we'll have to leave the manor and get married one day."

Xiao Li snorted coldly: "Then don't get married. I've seen through it all. There are many talented men in this world, and countless handsome men, but how many men are so considerate to their wives and have such good tempers? After seeing the son-in-law's character, can you really tolerate the rudeness and barbarity of other men?"

Rong'er sighed, looking quite dejected: "But can't you see? The young master has no interest in us at all. We can't just stubbornly stay at home and refuse to leave."

Putting aside the fact that Tang Qian never allowed the young ladies to keep him company when he stayed overnight in their rooms, even now, when they had come to him of their own accord, Tang Qian still persuaded them to go back. Doesn't that say a lot?

"That's because you haven't fully developed yet." Amid Rong'er's exclamation, Xiao Li reached out and poked the soft flesh on her chest with her finger. "I don't believe that when I have the same assets as Miss, the young master will still be a virtuous man who can remain unmoved by a woman in his lap."

Rong'er crossed her arms over her chest and listened to Xiao Li's lewd words. She couldn't help but spit out a few words: "People have to have face, trees have to have bark. I'm not going to offer myself up to her."

"Didn't we promise to be best friends forever? Why are you backing out?"

"I didn't." Rong'er's gaze was resolute and her expression was firm. "I will definitely not leave my young lady. If I can't be a maidservant, then I'll be a nanny. At worst, I'll never get married."

Xiao Li glanced back at Rong'er, then her eyes crinkled into a playful smile: "Why don't you just go along with your son-in-law's wishes and marry Tang Xiaoqi? Anyway, he's definitely going to stay at home, so you can stay there legitimately too."

Seeing that Rong'er was actually deep in thought, Xiao Li laughed again: "You've really thought about this? Or should I go and talk to your young lady about it for you?"

Although Tang Xiaoqi is clueless about romance, he's still just an immature boy. How could a simpleton like him possibly understand a young girl's thoughts? However, with her son-in-law as a role model, he shouldn't be too bad off after being influenced by him. If Rong'er really marries Tang Xiaoqi, it won't be a bad deal for her.

"no!"

The two were still whispering to each other when a shout suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, which almost made Xiao Li and Rong'er turn pale with fright.

Looking up, she saw that Chu Xia, who was walking in front, was blushing. She seemed to want to say something to them, but how could a young girl like her say such embarrassing things? The more she stammered, the more embarrassed she became, until her face was so red that it was almost bleeding. Finally, she managed to stammer out, "Tang Xiaoqi... he has someone he likes. Sister Rong'er, you should give up on him."

What does this mean?

Xiao Li and Rong'er exchanged glances for a moment, then looked at Chu Xia, who seemed to want to disappear into the ground, and suddenly a possibility occurred to them: "Could it be that that boy is with Chu Xia...?"

Now that she had already spoken, Chu Xia felt there was no need to hide it anymore. When she teamed up with Miss Tang's maid Ling'er and Tang Xiaoqi to deal with her mistress, she was grateful for their help and felt that Tang Xiaoqi was a reliable person, so she naturally had a good impression of her.

Before this, Chu Xia had never really thought about what this strange feeling in her heart was. She only knew that she could be happy for several days if she could occasionally see Tang Xiaoqi, who came to report to Tang Qian.

Until she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Tang Xiaoqi who happened to be passing by, he saw her body when the two were drying clothes by a fire on the riverbank. The little girl fell deeply in love.

At this moment, Xiao Li said she wanted Zhao Yingluo to help arrange a marriage between Rong'er and Tang Xiaoqi, and Chu Xia was really anxious.

"Anyway... it just won't work!"

Finally noticing Chu Xia's embarrassment, Rong'er and Xiao Li burst out laughing at the same time: "Chu Xia, look at you, you're so beautiful and delicate, everyone in the family praises you as a lovely girl, how could you fall for that blockhead Tang Xiaoqi?"

"Exactly. Back in Youzhou, he was always hiding in the shadows, utterly devoid of any charm. Now that he's in Guangling, he's even more elusive, always up to no good. What's so great about him that he's so worthy of a beautiful young girl like you falling for him?"

"Don't talk nonsense... I didn't."

Feeling that she had been tricked by the two, Chu Xia's explanation seemed weak and powerless. Sure enough, Rong'er's next words made Chu Xia realize that they had set a trap for her.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Tang Xiaoqi. I didn't argue just now because I was thinking about whether to kick Xiaoli or punch her in the face."
