Song Yixiao had no idea how long the coma lasted. When she awoke from it, she realized that she was being dragged forward by something. Instantly, she thought of what she had seen before the coma and then turned around in fear.
Just as expected, the hound that scared her into a coma before was biting her coat and dragging her forward on the snowfield.
Song Yixiao was so close to fainting again. However, when the hound noticed that she had awoken, it just let go of her and kept whining, walking around her nonstop, as if it was begging her to do something.
“You want me to go into the woods?” Song Yixiao realized that it didn’t intend to hurt her, finally feeling less frightened. Then she attempted to point at the direction where it dragged her to. “Did anything happen over there?”
The hound barked for a few times and then dragged her again by biting her clothes. It couldn’t speak, but its action obviously testified Song Yixiao’s conj
When Song Yixiao arrived at Ruyi Garden herself, it was already late.But there were still five or six armored guards under the high-hanging lamps at the gate.Song Yixiao headed in with cold face. Suddenly, two halberds crossed in front of her with a clunk. The left guard said gruffly, “Since the heir of the prince is still ill and lying on the bed, we are under orders by Her Highness not to let anyone in. Please don’t disturb him!”“What if I make sure to disturb?” Song Yixiao had a disdainful glance at the white tip of the halberds and said scornfully, “Aunt Daiguo doesn’t even care about her niece’s life anymore. Compared with that, what does the life of a ‘niece-in-law’ matter, who was going to be forced to die by her?”She raised her steps towards the inside when saying as if she didn’t see the blades close at hand. Although the two armored guards were murderous, they actually didn’t dare to let her crash into the blades. See
A while later, in Buyue Villa.Song Yixiao was filled with shame, “Sister, just now, I…”The exhausted Commandery Princess Qingjiang waved her hand without waiting for her to speak, “Wuying fell ill suddenly, and both Ping’an and Doctor Han happened not to be in a good condition. As your eldest sister, I didn’t offer to help and instead, I asked you to run around to deal with these things. I understand your suffering this day. So, it was nothing for what you just did at the first sight of Xubai when you were full of worries and grievance. But it was not very suitable in such occasion just now. I’ve sent my servants to warn them to watch their tongue.”In the meantime, Commandery Princess Qingjiang knitted her eyebrows, “However, you need to be more sophisticated from now on. Otherwise, although Xubai and you are a couple, you are going to be discussed when it was spread!”“You are right!” Song Yixiao couldn’t say anything to defend
When they were talking, Daiguo Grand Princess and her party had already come over. Glancing at Song Yixiao, Daiguo Grand Princess said with a faint smile on her face, “Well, Xubai’s wife finally dares to see me? I thought you were going to keep avoiding me!”Anyway, she was an elder and would be leaving soon, so Song Yixiao was about to say a few words to calm this aunt down. Unexpectedly, before she spoke, Jian Xubai smiled, “Who doesn’t know that Aunt Daiguo has always doted on us juniors most? Why are you hiding from Aunt Daiguo, Shanyao? Could it be that you don’t dare to take anything from her that she gave you secretly? Is that why you don’t dare to see her? It’s nothing really, Aunt Daiguo has plenty of good things. The reason why she gives it to you is that she likes you, so what are you afraid of?”At this point, seemingly smiling, he looked at Daiguo Grand Princess, “Right, Aunt Daiguo?”“I’ve often heard others say that you and your
Yuan Xuepei’s conversation with Su Shaoge was very harmonious—Su Shaoge and Prince of Zhao had planned to move to a place recently, so as to shun Princess Yushan.So after a day or two days, Su Shaoge and Prince of Zhao pretended to “visit friends”, packed up their clothes, and quietly left the Lunong Building.They actually moved to the Cuizhu Court, which was a dozen li away from the Yaohua Venue, but everyone said to Princess Yushan, “It was Master Su’s friend in Qingzhou who came to the capital. He should receive the guests. His Highness Prince of Zhao also companied with him to have a look.”Princess Yushan asked surprisedly and angrily, “When will they come back?”“It’s not sure to say this.” Because Nie Wuying’s medicine finally didn’t need herbs for calming the nerves, Song Yixiao and Yuan Xue’e came to the Yaohua Venue to chat with her. They looked at each other and spoke in unison, “After all, the New Year is approaching,
Su Shaoge jumped through the window again after hearing the words and nodded awkwardly to her, “Sorry!”He re-entered into the bed-curtain. To show no concern of his secret, Song Yixiao deliberately avoided him behind the screen.After a sound of “kada”, the voice of opening machine was heard in the quiet room, Su Shaoge’s footsteps came out of the bed-curtain, and he said softly, “Madam Song, the book has been obtained. I have offended more tonight. Please forgive me!”She said, “It’s okay, I just hope you not to talk about this to others in the future, because people will talk!”“Of course...” Su Shaoge didn’t finish talking, and suddenly there was a fierce barking not far away!It was quiet at night, and the sudden noise could easily disturb others. Especially Song Yixiao was particularly afraid of dogs, and just hearing it would cause her a heart palpitation. In panic, she accidentally broke a glass lamp behind the
Because most of them travelled by carriage, their speed of travelling couldn’t be as fast as riding a horse.However, Zhuo Ping’an made a fuss on the way. He suddenly rushed out of the carriage and fell on the roadside. Due to the thick snow, he didn’t get injured, but it still freaked out Commandery Princess Qingjiang. She hastened to coax him into getting back into the carriage and meanwhile asked the carter to slow down in case that the same accident happened again.As a result, they went into town when the gate was about to be closed.After going into town, Commandery Princess Qingjiang hurriedly brought her son back home in case of any more trouble and meanwhile asked Song Yixiao to send Nie Wuying back to the Grand Princess’s mansion.Since Song Yixiao was in her mother-in-law’s mansion, she must greet the latter. As a result, it was dark when she arrived back at Duke of Yan’s mansion.Since a guard had returned
Until at night, Song Yixiao noticed that her husband appeared laden with anxiety and then asked in confusion, “Who is Elder Lady Duanmu? Don’t you like to meet her?”Jian Xubai shook his head with a complex look, saying briefly, “She is the elder sister of my legitimate grandma. I have never met her before!”“How strange! Since they haven’t met before, why does he feel so annoyed?” Reminded by him, Song Yixiao recalled that when she prayed at the ancestors after getting married, she saw the memorial tablet of the Elder Madam of Yan. Her maiden name was Duanmu indeed.Yet, this grandma was dead for too long, who was not brought up by anyone. It was only a few months since she was married to Jian Xubai. Thus, she hadn’t known all the relatives of the Jian Family and couldn’t think of this deceased grandma quickly.At the moment, she was rather confused. Then she just leaned against her husband’s shoulders and asked curiously, “Then s
Cuipiao knew that her following answer would directly decide whether Song Yixiao would truly accept her repentance. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists, saying, “I’m no longer young and have made serious mistakes before. Now I’m only hoping that Your Highness can mercifully let me have someone to count on for the rest of my life!”Her request was euphemistic but she had expressed clearly that she wanted to get married. Cuipiao blushed and lowered her head with embarrassment because she just uttered her wish of getting married in public and realized that her dream could never come true.“I have served His Highness for a long time. Although he was away from the imperial capital for six years, after he was back, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager sent me back to Duke of Yan’s mansion!” When she recollected the past, Cuipiao’s clenched hands slightly trembled and her feelings were complicated beyond description. “As a trustworthy maid, I should have beco
