Things were going so smoothly. Song Jintang was in an extremely good mood, which also gave him more patience and good temper when facing Wen Shaoxue's cold face.
In the afternoon, while the sunshine was still good, Song Jintang took Wen Shaoxue to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Wen Shaoxue didn't show much happiness, but she didn't refuse directly.
Song Jintang keenly sensed the change in Wen Shaoxue's mood. She was clearly softening in the past few days, and even Liu'er no longer glared at him.
This is a good sign. Song Jintang is still thinking about the considerable wealth of the Wen family. If this money is used to manage personal connections in the future, it will definitely be a big gain. Now Wen Shaoxue must change his mind before he can safely cancel the contract.
Engagement, borrow Zhou Ze's hand to get back the money he deserves.
Yes, in his opinion, that's the money he deserves.
In the peaceful atmosphere of the garden, Wen Shaoxue's mood gradually relaxed, and occasionally two smiles appeared on his face.
Just when Song Jintang was secretly happy for his wise decision, a red figure broke into their sight.
This woman dressed in red is none other than Zhang Qiaoer, the daughter of Zhang Quan, the prefect of Weihui Prefecture, who had been flirting with Song Jintang a few days ago.
Song Jintang kept the door closed to her for many days, and even the servants under his command were not as respectful to her as before. She was always curious, but Song Jintang used various excuses to put her off.
In recent days, her father suddenly heard about something. The fourth-rank official in the capital, the Minister of Rites, came to Wei Hui Mansion and stayed at Song Jintang's house.
Not only that, I heard that Song Jintang had been having a fierce fight with the sister of the Minister of Rites recently. She then realized that Song Jintang's recent excuses for her were just because another woman had moved into the Song residence.
This time she ignored the boy's blockage and barged in, only to find out that the rumors were true. But when she was about to come over to "catch the rapist" in an aggressive manner, when she saw the woman's face clearly, she stood there in surprise and was speechless, "You
…You, you…you’re not…”
"What is it?" Wen Shaoxue looked at Zhang Qiaoer with interest.
"Hmph, you said it beautifully. I thought you were very brave, but I didn't expect that just a few days later, you would run back all by yourself. It's really ridiculous."
Wen Shaoxue shrugged nonchalantly: "If I'm being ridiculous, then what about you, who was still showing off your power a few days ago and is now like a lost dog?"
"You..." Zhang Qiaoer's face twitched with anger and her eyelids twitched. She suppressed her uneasiness and said softly to Song Jintang: "Jintang, I know you can't bear to let her live on the street, but you can tell me.
, I won’t mind.”
Song Jintang's attitude made her a little panicked. Song Jintang looked at her with unusually cold eyes: "Xue'er and I are engaged, so naturally we have to live here."
Zhang Qiaoer looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Wen Shaoxue thought that she must have been like this that day. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her really thought so, but she had to face the facts alone.
She actually sympathized with Zhang Qiaoer: "Miss Qiaoer, some things that are not yours will never be yours. You didn't have to waste so much energy and emotion on him. Fortunately, you can let go now."
It's just that Zhang Qiao'er is gnashing his teeth and hating her so much that he can't listen to her words.
Of course Song Jintang wanted to show off in front of Xue'er at this moment. He frowned and said to Zhang Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, I have always taken good care of you because of my friendship with the prefect. Don't get me wrong."
Zhang Qiaoer was filled with hatred. A few days ago, she even talked sweetly to herself, saying that she would marry him in the future, and that she would only like herself in this life. Unexpectedly, today she fell out of love faster than turning over a book. She really agreed to that Wen family
She was cursing herself for what the little bitch said. There was no good thing between the two of them. Zhang Qiaoer left with a gloomy face.
The arrival of Zhang Qiaoer gave Song Jintang some other inspirations. He had been trying every means to make Xueer happy, but with little success.
Now that he saw Zhang Qiaoer, he suddenly remembered, what is the most important thing for a woman? Of course, innocence. If the two of them are already married, according to Wen Shaoxue's temperament and the teachings he has received since childhood
, no matter how unhappy she was, there was nothing she could do.
At that time, he will have nothing to worry about. I am afraid that he is not the one who is anxious to get married as soon as possible. As soon as this idea takes root, Song Jintang will not be able to get it out of his head. He feels that this is a huge gain, and
The best way to save time and effort.
After walking in the garden for a while, Wen Shaoxue said that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest. Song Jintang, as gentle and considerate as ever, sent her back to her room.
In the evening, he personally brought a bowl of white fungus soup over: "Xue'er, the wind was a bit strong when we went out this afternoon. You may catch a cold. Drink this first and rest."
"Thank you. I don't really want to eat right now, so I'll leave it here for now."
Song Jintang put down the small cup and smiled as if he was recalling the long past: "Xue'er, do you still remember that when I was a child, I always didn't have enough to eat, and you always secretly brought me food from home.
"
Following her words, Wen Shaoxue thought of the past: "Remember, I was afraid of being discovered by my family, so I always went to the kitchen at night to steal some food and bring it to you the next day. Later, I was discovered by the cook at home and asked
What happened to me? I had to say that I was taking it out to feed stray kittens and puppies. But the next day the cook insisted on going with me, so we waited stupidly on the roadside all night."
Song Jintang smiled: "You can just come up with any excuse to fool me, but you have to wait there stupidly. I originally saved up money for a long time to give you a gift that day, but after picking and choosing, it was really hard to
There is nothing satisfying. It happened that day my father had some great luck and earned a small amount of money. He made a bowl of white fungus soup for all the children in the family. The maids in the yard also secretly brought it to me.
A bowl. I took that gadget and ran to the place where we usually meet. I waited for you there all afternoon, but you never came. I was very disappointed at the time. Just when I was about to leave
When I saw you running over in a hurry, you kept apologizing to me."
"That bowl of white fungus soup was completely cold, but I didn't want to make you sad, so I drank it all. It turned out that there were some low-quality ingredients in it, and I had a stomachache all night long."
"Really? Then why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the use of telling you?" Wen Shaoxue smiled, his eyes moist.
At that time, they were innocent, carefree, and thought the future would be beautiful. Who could have imagined that their relationship would become what it is now?
