It wasn't until dusk the next day, Xia Yeqing returned home, Song Lingyue didn't ask him where he went, he changed into civilian clothes, went directly to the study, and treated Song Lingyue as air.

Song Lingyue hesitated outside the door for a long time, but in the end she didn't dare to knock on the door, so she didn't annoy him, turned around and walked out of the house, and went to the main courtyard to visit the eldest lady.

Summer Night Qing leaned back on the chair behind the desk, her long legs resting on the edge of the table, a cigarette in her mouth, and she thought about her thoughts sullenly.

Last night, I met the foreign minister at Jinkaimen, and listening to the meaning of his words, the Japanese began to look for agents in the country, and several forces in the country took the opportunity to start a move, and they had the intention of parting ways and standing on their own feet, so that a vicious war was inevitable.

The strength of the Xia family is not weak now, and it can occupy a world in Kyoto, but these days, there have been changes in the cabinet, which is likely to threaten his position as chief minister.

After smoking a cigarette, the irritability in my heart did not decrease, and I casually opened the drawer of the desk, revealing the book "Jane. Love", Song Lingyue's favorite book.

I took it out and flipped it over, and there were a few paragraphs marked in it, and the blank space next to it was written with a translation, a delicate regular script, and it was written very seriously.

"Huh! It's really leisurely, and it's so attentive to my words. Xia Yeqing muttered to herself, and threw the book back into the drawer, expecting that she would not read it in the future, and it would be the same wherever she threw it.

After reviewing the documents, it was already dinner time, and Chun Tao came to pass the word, saying that the old lady invited him to the main courtyard for dinner, and his aunt also went with him.

I didn't know where Song Lingyue went early in the morning, so I asked people to look around, and finally found her in the warm pavilion, Xia Yeqing didn't want to see her anymore, and she didn't want others to see her jokes, so she picked her up and went to the main courtyard together.

In the dining room of the main courtyard, the people in several rooms have arrived, the meal is very rich, two large tables are set, and after the old lady and the old lady sit down, Song Lingyue sat down in the summer night.

Song Lingyue wore a dark blue fine velvet lapel dress today, with a real silk bow on the neckline, a small face lined with white and raw, and the scars on her face were covered with whitening cream, which was almost invisible.

Xia Yeqing sat opposite Xia Yeqing, Song Lingyue is now his sister-in-law, and she is so beautiful after dressing up, which makes him a little jealous, this Xia Yeqing, it is really good luck, a rotten goods can become a fairy in his hands, it is really unfair.

After a tour of wine, Xia Yejin raised her glass to Xia Yeqing, "Brother Qing, speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on your remarriage yet!" The younger brother did it first as a respect. He tilted his head and drank the wine from the quilt.

Xia Yeqing flicked the wine glass with his fingertips, but he didn't drink it, Xia Yejin had something to say, Song Lingyue was just an aunt's wife, and he couldn't remarry, he just said this, either to embarrass him, or to embarrass Song Lingyue, he can't jump into this pit.

Pretending not to hear his words, he reached out and put a crab on the plate in front of him, cut off the crab legs around him, picked up the crab roe, dug it with a small spoon, handed it to Song Lingyue's plate, and said with a doting face: "This crab was specially salvaged and sent, you can taste it, it is not fresh." ”

He came so suddenly, Song Lingyue was a little flattered, she didn't want to eat, she met his expectant gaze, she was reluctant to refuse, picked up the spoon and put it in her mouth, and nodded happily, "It's delicious!" ”

The juniors around saw Xia Yeqing doting on Song Lingyue like this, and suddenly burst into laughter, and Song Lingyue lowered her head embarrassedly, as if the two really had that kind of thing.

The old lady looked at it coldly, and always felt that it was not very credible, last night in the summer night Qing was outside, and the messenger reported to her in the morning, and today she performed this play in front of her, which was obviously deliberately shown to others.

Xia Yeqing wanted to earn face for Song Lingyue, and also snubbed Xia Yeyue, the old lady couldn't see it, and secretly gave Xia Ke a look, Xia Ke understood, stopped the chopsticks, and looked at Song Lingyue.

"Little sister-in-law, didn't anyone tell you the rules of our family? If you look at this table, and then you look at the other table, are you sitting in the wrong place? ”

Song Lingyue suddenly froze, and she already understood that the old lady and his wife were sitting at this table, and on the table next to him were the old lady's aunts and children and children, but she was the only one who sat at the main table, which was obviously wrong.

Xia Ke smiled and continued: "Although we don't have the old habit of men and women not having different seats in our family, we still have to put our identities right. ”

Song Lingyue lowered her hand in a daze, wanting to get up and withdraw, Xia Yeqing grabbed her, frowned, glanced at Xia Ke coldly, and said: "Her position is set by me, where I am, she is there, do you have any opinions?" ”

Xia Ke was swept away by his cold gaze, and suddenly shuddered, didn't dare to speak anymore, picked up the soup bowl, pretended to drink the soup, and hid his embarrassment.

The old lady shook her head secretly, Yeqing was a little excessive, lost the chopsticks in his hand, stood up with a cane, and said to Xia Yeqing: "Yeqing, come to my study after eating, the daughter of the Mu family has returned to China, and your grandmother and I will tell you about your renewal." ”

The old lady's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to reach everyone's ears, and everyone at the table suddenly looked at Song Lingyue with strange eyes, in addition to sympathy, more disdain, before entering the door, Xia Yeqing was going to marry Mrs. Zheng, and it was clear that he wanted to give her face.

Xia Yeqing's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't refute the old lady in front of everyone, so he nodded, got up and followed the old lady to the back.

Song Lingyue is not sitting, nor is she getting up, at this time she also understands that the Xia family asked her to be Xia Yeqing's aunt's wife, most likely because of the eldest wife, it is the Xia family's serious business to renew Xia Yeqing's wife, she is just a chess piece.

Secretly blamed herself, she shouldn't have gotten too close to the eldest lady, and now it has become an excuse to restrain her, the more she wants to protect Xia Yeqing, the more the old lady doesn't want to give her face, and she can't go.

After the old lady and they left, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became much more relaxed, and the old lady in several rooms took the opportunity to desperately serve vegetables for their children to show their love as parents, and several families ate and chatted happily, leaving Song Lingyue alone.

Song Lingyue waited for a long time and didn't see Xia Yeqing come out, got up and said hello, and was about to leave the table first, but no one at the table responded to her, deliberately embarrassing her, Song Lingyue left the table silently and walked to the east courtyard alone.

Back in the bedroom, Song Lingyue took off her clothes, and sure enough, she had a rash on her body, it was because of the crab, she couldn't eat crabs since she was a child, and she would have a rash when she ate it, and she couldn't take a bite.

I rummaged through the medicine box, and there was no ointment that could be used, so I went to the bathroom and put a bathtub of cold water in it, and it might be better to soak it.

Chun Tao came in to serve her, Song Lingyue was not happy, so she withdrew, closed the bathroom door, took off her clothes and lay down in the bathtub.

Although the weather is warm, taking a cold bath is still a bit biting, Song Lingyue is so cold that her teeth tremble, and she doesn't dare to heat the water inside, the hotter the water, the more itchy her body will be, so she can only endure it.

Xia Yeqing returned to the East Courtyard and slowly came to the outside of the bedroom, the old lady had made up his mind, the daughter of the Mu family was also familiar with him, he didn't hate it, it didn't matter if he married her as a wife, he just wanted to talk to Song Lingyue, after all, she married him.

knocked on the door outside, but there was no movement, Xia Yeqing thought that she was hiding in the house again, and she couldn't bear it, so she pushed open the door and walked in.

There was no one in the outer room and the inner room, and the summer night Qingjing walked to the door of the bathroom, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and opened the door directly.

Song Lingyue was freezing and her limbs were numb, Xia Yeqing suddenly broke in, the clear water, her * body was exposed in front of his eyes, and he was about to sit up with an exclamation, but because he had been frozen for too long, he sat down suddenly, his legs cramped all of a sudden, and he fell back into the water.

Xia Yeqing's eyes widened in surprise by this fragrant scene, her throat tightened, and she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but she didn't quit, she held the door with one hand, blinked, and asked very abruptly, "Do you want to take a bath with my mandarin ducks?" ”
