Chapter 423: Xiangyang’s Thoughts

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Rui couldn’t wait for the banquet to end as soon as possible so that he could send all the guests away and then he could keep his wife company.

Qin Xiaoyao also looked at Song Rui from time to time.

When she saw how pleased he was with himself and how skillfully he dealt with his guests, she was happy for her husband.

“Master, what are you looking at?” At this moment, Princess Xiangyang suddenly jumped in front of Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao got a shock.

Thereafter, she quickly regained her composure and asked Princess Xiangyang, “Why are you here?”

Princess Xiangyang glanced at Song Rui, who was not far away. Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a crafty look in her eyes.

“That Master Song is very handsome, right?” she asked Qin Xiaoyao in a taunting manner.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart trembled a little as she looked at Princess Xiangyang.

“Mm-hmm! He’s handsome,” she replied honestly.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao’s reaction, Princess Xiangyang plonked herself down beside her.

“Master, aren’t you tempted when you are facing such a handsome man?” she continued asking.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her eyebrows.

“You’ve grown bold, haven’t you? You dare to make fun of Master.” She looked at Princess Xiangyang sternly.

Princess Xiangyang simply shrugged.

“How is this making fun? If Master likes him, Xiangyang can ask for an edict from Empress Mother on your behalf.

“I met that Shen Lian just now. How could a girl from a humble family be worthy of Lord Song?”

Princess Xiangyang kept her eyes on Qin Xiaoyao all the time. She did not want to miss the reaction on the latter’s face.

She had realized long ago that her master was paying too much attention to Lord Song.

Although her master was married, she had been looking for her husband for so long but she still could not find him. Presumably, he was no longer alive.

Besides, so what if he was still alive?

Her Master was different now. Even if she were to have a few more men, it was not a big deal.

Unfortunately, Princess Xiangyang didn’t notice anything unusual on Qin Xiaoyao’s face after staring for a long time.

“Don’t take matters into your own hands. If your Master is really interested in a man, would she need help from others?” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang.

“As for you, the Empress had the intention of matchmaking you with Lord Song. Yet you were unwilling. Are you really unwilling, or do you already have someone you like?”

Women matured early in ancient times, so it was not strange for Xiangyang to have someone she liked.

In addition, she also wanted to use this topic to change the direction of the discussion.

Princess Xiangyang was stunned momentarily.

The image of a figure flashed through her mind.

Immediately, her face turned red.

“So there really is someone.

“Tell me. Who is that person? If I find that person acceptable, 1 will speak to the Empress on your behalf.”

Princess Xiangyang’s expression changed at once.

“There’s no such person! Master, you changed the topic and deliberately made fun of Xiangyang!” Princess Xiangyang stood up after giving a retort.

“Hmph! I’ll go over and sit near Uncle!” After saying that, Princess Xiangyang immediately ran away.

Qin Xiaoyao was left behind laughing out loud.

She only withdrew her gaze after Princess Xiangyang had gone far away.

After looking in Song Rui’s direction again, she put away her thoughts.

Even Xiangyang had noticed her abnormal behavior. Could others have noticed it too?

After this, she had to pay more attention to her behavior.

Thus, Qin Xiaoyao held back and did not pay attention to Song Rui anymore.

This lasted until Song Rui came over personally to propose a toast.

“Congratulations, Lord Song!” Qin Xiaoyao and the guests at the same table raised their cups and toasted Song Rui.

“Thank you, everyone!” Song Rui replied with a smile.

After drinking the wine in his cup, his gaze turned to Qin Xiaoyao deliberately.

“I hope you can forgive me for my poor hospitality.”

“Lord Marquis, please carry on.” Song Rui then took special care to attend to Qin Xiaoyao.

This was not eye-catching in itself.

After all, Qin Xiaoyao had the highest status among the people at the table. The news of Song Rui being on good terms with Qin Xiaoyao had long spread.

Furthermore, Marquis Xiaoyao was a savior to him and Shen Lian.

Qin Xiaoyao replied politely and sat down to continue eating.

Song Rui was a little disappointed that his wife didn’t say much to him.

He didn’t say anything and quickly turned to leave.

The lively banquet soon ended.

Qin Xiaoyao did not stay for long. She quickly bid farewell to Song Rui and left the Song family’s residence.

Song Rui was disappointed again.

However, when he thought about how they would be able to meet again at night, he felt a little gratified.

At night, Qin Xiaoyao arrived as promised.

She was like a phantom in the dark night.

After climbing over the boundary wall, she quickly entered Song Rui’s courtyard.

Then, she sneaked into Song Rui’s room without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Song Rui was taking a bath when he suddenly felt a breeze blowing past.

“Who…” A hint of wariness flashed across his eyes as he called out apprehensively.

He turned his head to look, but he didn’t see anyone.

When he turned back, Qin Xiaoyao was already standing in front of him.

She was staring at him with devilish intentions.

The nervousness in Song Rui’s heart was gone. Instead, he smiled.

“My dear, you are here. Why didn’t you call out to me?”

Qin Xiaoyao laughed somewhat wickedly.

“Even when 1 didn’t call out to you, you still saw me, right?” As she spoke, she walked towards Song Rui.

Two hours later.

“Next, we have to reduce the frequency of contact between us,” Qin Xiaoyao said languidly as she lay in Song Rui’s arms.

“Why?” Song Rui frowned at once.

Ever since his wife saved him and Shen Lian, he no longer had to sneak around when he met his wife.

He had been leading a good life for the past few days, but now he had to go back to what it was in the past?

Qin Xiaoyao then told him about Princess Xiangyang’s probing.

“Maybe you’re just thinking too much,” Song Rui said after listening to her.

“Mm-hmm.” Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

“However, it’s still better to be careful,” she said.

“The Emperor’s birthday is just around the corner. We must not let anything go wrong at the last minute.”

Song Rui was a little upset, but he still nodded.

Then, he shared with Qin Xiaoyao the progress he had made in the past two days.

Qin Xiaoyao helped to analyze the situation as she listened.

Whenever she heard something that she could help with, she would propose to help Song Rui.

Song Rui didn’t reject her offer. After thinking about it and feeling that it was feasible, he would let his wife participate.

There was a great sense of harmony between the two of them.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t get up until it was almost dawn.

She pried away the man’s hand that was wrapped around her waist and said goodbye to Song Rui.

“I really hope that next time, you can sleep in my arms until dawn,” Song Rui said in a hoarse voice.

Qin Xiaoyao planted a kiss on Song Rui’s forehead.

“It won’t be long now.

“When we return to Mountain Spring Town, everything will be fine,” she said. She was comforting both Song Rui and herself.

“Mm-hmm.” Song Rui closed his eyes.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the man in her arms.

After Song Rui fell asleep, she helped him lay back on the bed.

Then, she left.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky had yet to brighten, Qin Xiaoyao sprinted all the way back to the Marquis’s residence.

After returning to her room, she took a short rest and tidied up before going to the front hall for breakfast.

In the end, Princess Xiangyang arrived halfway through the meal.

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoyao’s invitation, Princess Xiangyang ordered the servants to bring her bowls and chopsticks.

“You didn’t even have time to eat breakfast before coming over. Do you really miss the meals of our Marquis’s residence that much?” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao intentionally glanced at Liu Ling, who was sitting at the same table.

Princess Xiangyang followed Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze and looked at Liu Ling. Her face instantly turned red..
