Song Yixiao led her maids, including Qiaoqin, to the drawing-room. It was not until she confirmed nothing was wrong with the sealing tapes that she let them open the boxes.Among the three boxes, two ones were filled with title deeds and antique treasures respectively. While dazzling collections of ornaments made of pearl and jade filled up the remaining one.The ancestors of the Pei Family came from an aristocratic and distinguished clan, which was well-known in the historical record for its glory and prevalence throughout several dynasties in a row. It was not until the imperial examination started to gain popularity in the previous dynasty that the Pei Family started to be on the decline gradually. Even so, as a legitimately collateral branch, the Pei Family, having no notorious wastrels, still got a profound foundation.Of course, such three boxes certainly couldn’t accommodate all the accumulations the Pei Family had got all over these yea

After Song Yixiao finished breakfast that day, she intended to send Qiaoqin out to inform the Wei Family as she said, “You relay what Lu Guanlun said to Cousin Chan clearly. Tell her that I can’t do anything to help her out. If her family members are also at a loss as for what to do, she will have no choice but to do as Lu Guanlun said, finding a random excuse to break off the marital engagement!”Fearing Wei Chan would take her words to her heart, she added, “Fortunately, she is not of the hairpin age yet, who can afford to wait for another two or three years before officially getting married. As always, gossips prevail in this capital city constantly. However awkward she feels right now, nobody will remember what happened to her two or three years later. Even if someone does, she won’t be affected at all since the time will be different then. After she overcomes the difficulty this time, she may find someone that respects her much in the future. Anyway, please let her

Jian Xubai dealt with his work hurriedly and then returned to the backyard.As he found that Song Yixiao hadn’t come back, he went to take a shower first.After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom and still didn’t see his wife. He couldn’t help feeling disappointed.However, he was aware of Wei Chan’s trouble. Since she was weeping and wailing, it was indeed not easy for Song Yixiao to comfort her. Hence, he leaned against the bed and started to read a book, intending to give his wife a reminder when she came back. Pathetic as Wei Chan was, in light of what Lu Guanlun said, she asked for it herself. How could a virtuous wife leave her husband alone in the bedroom for comforting her cousin?Unexpectedly, as he read most of the book and it was late at night, Song Yixiao was still not back!“Does she just stay in Jiangxing Villa for the night because of her cousin?” Thinking of this, Jian Xubai was in a fret. He t

Song Yixiao had tremendous mood swings and cried her eyes out yesterday. Moreover, no one woke her up, so she didn’t awake until nearly noon.She was not completely sober yet when she heard a surprised voice from her bedside, “My dear daughter! You are finally awake! How do you feel now? Are you hungry? Here, have some water first!”Song Yixiao was fed with some water in a daze, making her able to voice out. Then she asked in surprise, “Mother, why are you here?”The well-dressed woman sitting on the embroidered chair by the bed was her birth mother, Wei Mengying, who heard Song Yixiao’s question and then tucked her in without replying to her. Instead, Ms. Bo, standing behind Wei Mengying answered the question on behalf of her mistress, “Her Highness hears that you are ill so she just hurriedly rushes here!”She added, “Her Highness arrived around 10 a.m. and has stayed here by your side for 2 hours. If it had not been for that Qia

After making sure her mother had left and wouldn’t return, Song Yixiao let out a sigh and fell on the cushion!During the conversation, she seemed to be determined and confident enough to turn the table, press on at every stage and have everything under control. In fact, if Wei Mengying just wouldn’t surrender, how could she really leave her mother and brother to the disposal of Qiu Shuxia?Luckily, Wei Mengying finally gave away.Song Yixiao knew that her mother might see through that she was not very determined. The reason why Wei Mengying would surrender should be for her motherly love for Song Yixiao.However...“Mother also reminded me of keeping an eye on my husband so as not to bring trouble on myself.” She muttered to herself with a bitter smile, “Does she really care about me or just want to make me feel this way?”Anyway, Wei Mengying was her mother. Even with the knowledge of previous life and t
