CHAPTER 467: CHAPTER 159 BIRTHDAY BANQUET (1)_2

Qiao’er was moved beside the young lady.

How could her young lady be so kind, so very kind!

Can the son-in-law really not see the young lady’s goodness?!

Won’t he be moved at all?

"Since that’s the case, I won’t say more." Song Yanqing instead felt that at this moment, she was being sentimental.

Xie Ruotong and Xie Ruilin are blood sisters, it’s only right for them to look out for each other. Could he have thought that they would be jealous and bicker over him?

"My lord, today was your first time attending court to see His Majesty, it must have been exhausting. Please return to your room to rest early." Xie Ruotong gave a slight bow.

Song Yanqing nodded, then he left.

When leaving, he inexplicably still had some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Xie Ruotong towards him, really has no desires or demands.

He couldn’t help but look back again.

Watching Xie Ruotong stride away briskly with Qiao’er.

Song Yanqing couldn’t help but smile.

He didn’t know what he was thinking at the time.

Just feeling as if in front of Xie Ruotong, maybe he took himself too seriously.

...

Qiao’er followed Xie Ruotong back to their courtyard.

Qiao’er really couldn’t help it.

Every time she saw the young lady and the son-in-law interact in a courteous and indifferent manner, she was so anxious she felt like having a heart attack.

"Young lady, the son-in-law just came personally to apologize to you, can’t you act a little spoiled? Make the son-in-law feel like he owes you something, so in the future he will certainly treat you differently. By behaving like this, you’re letting him feel at ease again. The second young lady will feel justified in whatever she does," Qiao’er went on and on.

Xie Ruotong was sitting in front of a copper mirror, removing her earrings while looking at her own reflection.

She chuckled, "Qiao’er, you don’t understand."

"I don’t understand, I just don’t get why the young lady is being so magnanimous. If you continue like this, you will be bullied by the second young lady," Qiao’er was so anxious she was nearly hopping.

"Do you think I’m too nice?" Xie Ruotong asked Qiao’er.

"You can’t be nicer. Not even the Bodhisattva Guanyin has a heart as kind as yours," Qiao’er said indignantly.

That’s right then.

Qiao’er thinks she is good.

Song Yanqing will also think she’s good.

Since she is good, Song Yanqing certainly won’t target her because of Xie Ruilin.

She can live well in the Song Residence.

And more importantly.

The good impression she has left on Song Yanqing now, if Xie Ruilin deliberately provokes her, then Song Yanqing is unlikely to believe Xie Ruilin’s one-sided story, and the more Xie Ruilin acts out, the more it will cause Song Yanqing’s fondness for her to dwindle, over time, it might even impact the feelings between Song Yanqing and Xie Ruilin.

Of course, she had never thought about destroying the relationship between Xie Ruilin and Song Yanqing; she was only creating a backup plan for herself, so that due to Xie Ruilin’s dislike, she wouldn’t really be killed by Xie Ruilin. She was simply seeking self-protection.

As for whether the relationship between Xie Ruilin and Song Yanqing will crumble, that will depend on Xie Ruilin herself, to see how far she can go!

If Xie Ruilin behaves, then they might last a long time.

If she’s not content, then it’s a matter of how self-destructive she chooses to be.

She’s been trafficked for ten years, been an assassin for so many years, seen too much strife and scheming, taking on someone like Xie Ruilin wouldn’t be hard.

It’s just that she feels it’s unnecessary!

...

Ten days passed.

Today is Ming Yufang’s thirty-eighth birthday celebration.

The house is bustling.

Although only close kin and friends are invited, in a large family, the so-called close relatives and friends definitely make up no small number.

A stage for performances was also set up today, making it extremely lively.

In the morning.

Quite a few guests had already arrived at home.

The people from Duke Mansion had also arrived early.

Rarely, Xiao Qinghui, someone who never goes out, also personally came to the Song Family today. Naturally, the Song Family had been waiting at the door early to receive her, treating this elder princess with respect and warmth.

Xiao Qinghui also exchanged pleasantries with each of them in turn.

In the end, it was Xie Ruotong who accompanied her into the Song Residence.

Xie Ruilin watched with jealousy in her eyes.

In Xiao Qinghui’s eyes, ever since Xie Ruotong returned, it’s been only about Xie Ruotong.

This visit to her marital family, it’s like giving Xie Ruotong additional support again.

Moreover, at this moment Song Yanqing, due to his position and etiquette, was also standing by Xie Ruotong’s side, helping his grandmother along with Xie Ruotong.

In the end, she was the one left alone.

At that moment, she really wanted to rush forward and flay Xie Ruotong alive.

"Lin’er." Someone suddenly called her by her side.

Xie Ruilin immediately reverted to her usual demeanor, putting on a sweet smile and softly calling, "Mother."
